WHO ARE sCANDINAvIANsP


Editor The Herald: In order to settle
a dispute will you please say what
countries are included in the term
Scandinavia" and what peoples talk
the Scandinavian language? Respect
fully. YON YONSON.
Originally the name was applied to
the Romans supposed to be an island
The term has been made to comprise
the peninsula between the Baltic sea
and Bothnia gulf, on one side, and the
North sea and Atlantic on the other
1t, therefore, includes Norway, Sweden
and part of Finland. This refers to the
geographical phase of the question.
In an photographic sense it is mere
comprehensive. 1t includes more peo-
pie than live in the section mentioned.
For the people of Denmark are Scan
dinavians. although not inhabitants of
the Scandinavian peninsula.
The Scandinavian language is spoken
by Swedes, Norwegians. Danes, Firms,
the people OF northern Schleswig and
the Danish subjects in Iceland and the
Faeroes. 1t was at one time the pre-
vailing language in northern Scotland
and the Isle of Man. 1t is a member
of the Teutonic branch of the Indo-
European family of languages.
Thus it will be seen that while Den
mark is not, geographically speaking, a
part of Scandinavia, the Danish people
are Scandinavians nevertheless. Just
as the people of the United States are
said to be English, although this coun-
try is no part of Great Britain.

With spotless white from northern SHOWS
And, snangied DER its azure. see

INSTRUCTIONS TO SKATER.

In sense the administration of the
province of Santiago de Cuba win be
! very much harder than was its con-
quest. The president has issued a
state; paper to General Shafter for his
guidance; it IS the first of the kind ever
issued by our government In brief, it
directs him to administer justice in all
its departments in accordance with the
local laws and through the local Off
cials, save where this is inconsistent
with military necessity. He is directed
to acquaint the people of the province
with the aims and purposes of the
United States. The paper is precisely
such as was to have been expected,
and is remarkable because it is the first
of its kind so far as this government
is concerned.
Affairs in the province will be admin
istered in accordance with these in
structions, and there is no doubt but
that they will be we'll administered.
Necessarily there will be many ire
concilables in the province. while the
people generally will be rather slow to
adapt themselves to the new order of
things; as they see how things go and
that the Americans are not given to
official rapacity they viii not be so
very long in reconciling themselves to
the new order. 1t is rather to be ex-
pected that the Cuban patriots will fret
TO think that they are not placed in
charge of the province, but they must
content themselves for the present with
things as they are; the island of Cuba
is not yet conquered. 1t will not be
very long before the commerce of the
province revives and flourishes as it
has not for the past three and half
years. 1t will serve as great object
lesson as to the advantages and ben
efits that will come to the people of
Cuba with the establishment of the
new order of things.

DEMANDS ON THE HAWAIIAN
COMMISSION.

The San Francisco Call was one of
the bitterest opponents of Hawaiian
annexation. Now that it is an accom-
plished fact, it hardly knows what to
do; it seems to be in a sort of blind
rage all the while. 1t is mad beyond
expression to think that the chamber
of commerce of San Francisco proposes
to entertain the members of the Ha-
waiian commission when they pass
through that city. While it says this
is well, still it is very particular to say
that the members of the commission
all favored the policy which, when ac-
complished, has given them the posi-
ton they hold; that they do not come
to California needy; that a large sum is
appropriated out of the public treasury
for their benefit, and that the tender
ing of public hospitality to them should
have among its objects an impression
of the interest of California in the
work they have on hand.
The three American commissioners,
Cullom, Hit and Morgan, it says, are
in an environment which prevents ex-
perimental knowledge of the industrial
problem which is presented in Asiatic
coolie competition with white labor.
Freeport, the principal town in Mr.
Hits district, probably never saw an
Asiatic coolie, even in transit, for it
lies off the trunk line for Pacific coast
travel, says the Call, while in Senator
Cullom's town, Springfield, there is one
Chinese wasbhouse, but its principal
patrons are negroes, and its COMPETE
ton is not felt. AS for Senator Nor
gan, environment and experience count
for nothing, and none OF them will get
any knowledge of our labor situation
at a banquet which will be devoted to
gush and boasting. The Call wants to
know if someone will tell them that
California asks something for all that
she gives. She is even denied the right
to have one of her regiments sent to
Hawaii on garrison duty, it declares.
That is given to New York, and SOL
diers are transported 8 500 miles across
the continent to go to Honolulu, while
California troops rest in camp or are
shipped to hard duty and death in the
poison fens of the Philippines. AS the
matter now stands, says our irate con-
temporary. California is called to make
all the sacrifices required for the bene-
fit of Hawaii, and gets nothing in re-
turn. These commissioners should be
told that we want something" What
is this something? The Cali formu-
lates its demands as follows:
We demand the prohibition of all
Asiatic coolie immigration to Hawaii.
We demand the deportation of all
coolie labor now in the islands.
We demand the extension thereto of
the labor laws of this country, with the
eight-hOur day.
We demand that the sugar planter
of Hawaii be put on an equality with
the sugar planter of California.
What will be the consequence if these
demands are not complied with? The
Call does not undertake to say. At
fairs in Hawaii Will probably be adj
ministered in the interests of the is
lands and the United States, and not
specially in the interest of California.

CHAPLAIN K1MBALL.

Elder Elias Kimball, of this city. has
been appointed chaplain of the Second
regiment OF United States volunteer
engineers. Chaplain Kimball is a
member of the Mormon church. and
his appointment is noteworthy on that
account. 1t emphasizes as nothing
else could how conditions in Utah have
changed and how the war has brought
the people together as citizens of the
great republic, the differences Of peace
times having been sunk by common
consent. Chaplain Kimball will no
doubt perform his duties in q salts

The Spanish soldiers are first re-
moved from Santiago and then the
Spanish mines are removed from San
tiago harbor. It would be we'll to see
that all the mines are removed. for
the Spaniards would be quite equal to
leaving few in the hope of Destroy
ing a ship or two. The Maine incident
warrants this suspicion.
