NORWAY.

For years past many newspapers of
the three Scandinavian countries have
used K instead of the old Oh in such
names as Kristiania, Kristiansand, etc.
But a number of conservative people
cling to the time-honored Oh. The
city government of Kristiania has
dealt hard blow to the Oh by resolv-
ing that only the new spelling shall be
used in all the departments, of the city
administration. -
The conservatives seem to be fight
ing chiefly on the defensive during the
present campaign, and the conserve
tive papers contain page upon page of
criticism upon the methods of their on
ponents. It is also remarkable fact
that the conservatives have very few
able speakers, while the country seems
to be chock full of liberal stump speak
