SCANDINAVIAN UNION.

The announcement made the other day
that B j0rnStjerne Bi0rnson had publicly declared
in favor Of what is cumbrously described as
Pan-Scandinayian neutrality 1t was made in a
few lines obscurely printed. Yet it was Of a
significance little short of startling. For it indi
Gated "A complete change of base by the man
who is not only the foremost poet and novelist
but also the foremost popular political leader in
Norway, the leader of party which has power
fully affected Scandinavian affairs IN the past,
and NAV do so even more in future. Mr.. Bj0rn-
son and his party have hitherto been intensely
anti-Swedish. and scarcely less strongly pro-
Russian. In their zeal against what they deem
Swedish oppression they have been ready TO
throw themselves into the arms Of Russia, to
the extent Of ceding her an Atlantic port, If not
a whole province and Sweden has been made
TO feel that whenever ner long threatened war
with Russia comes on she will have an active
enemy at the west as well as at the east.
Mr. Bjornson and his followers have appar-
emily been brought to their senses on this sub
Ject by the object lesson Of Finland At any
rate. they seem to have quit their coquetting
with Russia and to be favoring an alliance OF
all three Scandinavian powers and the securing
Of a guarantee of their neutrality from all Eu-
rope. Beyond doubt closer drawing together
OF Sweden, Norway and Denmark would be for
the good of all three. The ancient quarrel be
tween Sweden and Denmark is now a thing of
the past and the reigning dynasties Of the two
countries most friendly. The Crown Princess
OF Denmark is a Swedish princess, and she Is
popular in the land OF her adoption. There
seems TO be, therefore no good reason why rela-
IONS among the three countries should not be
intimate and cordial, especially since the great
popular party in Norway. which mas bitterly op
posed such relations, now favors them.
Inc question OF guaranteeing neutrality is.

THE AGE OF BATHTUBS.

Disauieting gossip gained some currency that
famous old Battle Abbey, built on the spot
where Harold. the last of the Saxon kings, was
killed when William, Duke Of Normandy in
vaded England had been desecrated by an
American lessee The practical scion of Uncle
Sam says he has made no changes except to put
in electric lights and hathtubs, and adds that
there was not a single bathtub in the entire
abbey when he took possession
No modern apostle of cleanliness can blame
the new occupant for what he has done. but if
the wraiths of William the Norman and Harold
the Saxon still stalk about the scene of the
great battle of Hastings how peevish they must

ANOTHER RAINBOW CHASER.

Since the retirement from the House Of Rep
resentatives of the Hon. James Hamilton Lewis
Of Washington, the Hon. John Wesley Gaines
of Tennessee, has come TO be generally recog-
nized il that body as easily the completest
eIemplar Of all that is most ingenious and con-
fiding in the practice OF Jeffersonan STATES
rnanship. Mr.. Gainess optimism is unfailing:
his belief that Democratic verities. though
crushed 10 earth, viii rise again is as irrepres-
sible as il is unbounded. When he is moi en-
gagged in the absorbing task-to which he
pledged himself on entering Congress-of giving
his constituents the pleasure Of reading his
name in large type at least once in each sue
cessiTe and separate issue of The Congress
sional Record" Mr.. Gaines's imagination busies
itself with visions Of renewal of the dead
slories OF Democratic leadersbp-of rekind-
ling everywhere of the somewhat shrunken but
eth inextinguishable fame of Democratic faith
To a nature ardent and so enthusiastic the
calculating philosophy Of the Democratic man.
asers who 90 not want to see the burdens Of
legislative responsibility transferred by the capt
ure of the next House TO Democratic shoulders
could scarcely be expected to appeal In the
Tennessee statesman's equipment there is no
such faculty as self-distrust; nor can he find ex
cuses for q policy which abjectly confesses
Democratic incapacity TO lead or Iegislate.
Mr.. Gaines, On the contrary, has the courage
TO believe that Democratic control Of the next
House viii not necessarily spell party stulti-
fication and party ruin. Holding that opinion
he has been able 70 fortify il by some very
Griggslke observations cleaned on a recent
stlmping trip TO the Pacific Coast. Mr. Griggs
made hurried dash through the New-England
States Just before the Vermont and Maine
elections and returned 70 Washington with the

conditions he had studied In those strongholds
Of Repuhlicanism promised a Democratic tidal
wave this fall. Mr.. Gaines sees equally hone
fsI evidences of political reaction In the Far
Western and Middle Western States. In Wash
