The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-05-20

this independence in consular appoint
ments has twice passed the Storthing,
and as often been vetoed by the king.
Should it be passed by the body TO be
elected three years hence 1t would be-
come law in spite of the veto.
But events are not likely to await so
peaceful a solutiok The revolutionary
spirit is growing in Norway and twenty
thousand rifles have been recently
ordered, while the patriotic Norwegian
ladies have raised subscriptions for a
gunboat. AS a matter OF fact, Norway
would stand no chance, in military
sense, at trial of strength
against Sweden, and while Russia is
undoubtedly looked to for support, 1t is
highly probable that Germany would
not stand by and see a Russian-Norwe-
gian combination without siding with
Sweden with proportionate activity.
1t really looks as though events in the
scandinavian peninsula were assuming
a Worldwide interest.

In another column we print some
affecting verses called out by our sug-
gestion that the Grosvenor Palace ought
not to be allowed to pass from mortal
view without having its memory perpet-
uated by some poet who hould be cap
able Of rising TO the subject.
We take it that the poet who has con-
tributed this initial verse on the subject
does not assume that he has exhausted
it. 1t is but n modest attempt-a mere
prologue; chorus to a larger spectacle.
Full of Poetic feeling as the verses
are, fraught with sentiments that
only experience could inspire, and
having in them much of the human
heart that must be factor in all verse
that is expected to get there, this first
contribution is yet but n suggestion, n
drop in the empty bucket, one single
note of the grand swell that alone could
come anywhere near reaching the sub
ject.
AS we before suggested, to echo what
is IN the hearts of the people, to reach
out and strike the full cord of feeling
with one resonant twang, would, we be-
lieve. demand an epic, or piece of
heroic writing like the Idylls of the
King. The Grosvenor Palace may well
be the subject for a wealth Of dainty
and suggestive, not to say thirst-inspir-
ing, verse, like that of the poet whose
thought appears in another column.
But charming az these detached
thoughts may be, no amount Of them
can prove commensurate with n sub
ject 80 impressive, so heroic. and so
soon TO be battered to smithereens.
However, we invite everybody to cor
tribute something. Maybe we will print
a book some day Of the poetic frag-
ments, even il we don't fetch an epic.

At this distance it looks as If the union
of Sweden and Norway were on the
point of disruption, even if actual war is
not threatened. The talk in both
countries is loud and vicious, and the
Stockholm Legislature has voted E big
appropriation for the army with an evil
dent view to possible march into Nor
way in an event of Norwegian rebel
lion. The situation is complicated by
the outside influence of Russia, which is
known to be desirous OF securing an
open sea port from the Norwegians
which can only come from Norwegian
independence.
Sweden and Norway have been united
since 1914. when Norway separated
from Denmark, and the control of
foreign affairs was, and is, vested in
Sweden. For all other purposes the
two kingdoms are independent and self
governing, with distinct legislature
and a separate ministry. But the COM
mon sovereign is Swedish, and the king
minister for foreign affairs is responsible
to the Swedish Diet alone.
Recent events have pointed to a COM
pleie separation from Sweden, and the
constitutional struggle of Norway
against the veto power of the Swedish
King has been going on for some time.
Sweden is free trade in her commercial
policy and Norway is strongly inclined
to protection, and the development Of
the commerce.. Of the latter country
makes her situation irritating. Many
Swedes, even, agree that Norway, under
the circumstances, ought to have a better
control OF her commerce than is possible
under the conditions Of the Union. The
Norwegian Radicals dem and. at least.
that the control Of that country's con-
suls 10 foreign ports be vested in the
Norwegian government and they seek
also TO secure an independent minister
for foreign affairs, responsible only TO
the Storthing at Christiana, and
the right TO appoint Norwe-
gian diplomatic agents and envoys. In
other words, from small beginnings
the tendency has developed, to a
practical demand for absolute indie
pendence.

wegian elections, but secured the Storth-
