Strange to say, the Christiania Dag
blad strongly favors Tronhjem as the
seat of the proposed archaeological in
stitute. This may turn the tables in
favor of the most Norslk of all the
Norsk cities. The paper, in this con-
nection, takes the general ground that
the government ought to conteract the
vicious tendency to centralize all inter-
ests in and around the capital.
The 18th of May committee of Trondh-
jem consisted of liberals and con-
servatives. But the latter went on a
strike, and liberals were elected to
fill the vacancies. This means that
the conservatives will flock by them
selves on the nth.
A very large number of officers have

The friction between the riksdag and
the government caused by the refusal
of the former to grant certain appro-
priations demanded by the latter, was
of such long standing that the threats
of the premier to resign have been
taken rather lightly. The crisis did
actually come, however. Baron Reedtz-
Thott rendered his resignation of the
cabinet and the king summoned Estrur
to form a new cabinet. Estrup has
served as premier 10 years, and he will
20 down in the history of his country
as the man Of ''provisories." This
needs further explanation. A mum Der
of years ago the lower house of the
riksdag rejected certain items of the
governments budget of appropriations,
while the upper house sided with the
government. Premier Estrup found a
way out of this dilemma by raising the
desired money in spite of the lower
house, and in spite of the letter and
spirit of the constitution. Now, this
was somewhat high-handed proceed
ure, and something had to be devised
as an excuse. And the excuse came in
this fashion,: The desired appropria-
tions are necessary, they are peremp-
torily demanded by the welfare of the
country. In short, the money must be
forthcoming. But this unconstitution-
al way of raising money must not be
regarded as standing policy of the
government. It must be regarded as a
temporary arrangement only, a sort of
hand-to-mouth makeshift. And this
makeshift policy was given the name
''provisory." But the great trouble
was that this 'provisory" was resorted
to year after year, until it began to
look as though the constitution were a
dead letter in regard to appropriations.
This will suffice to show how nicely
Estrup fits into the present situation.
Now, too, there is in the rigsdag a
dogged opposition to certain appropri-
ations. 1t is true that this time even
the upper house is largely smitten with
the spirit of rebellion.
