COPENHAGEN. aug. 26.-Norway and
Sweden are in harmony over the seIec-
ton of Prince Carl, son of King Oscar
of Sweden to be King Of independent
Norway. King Oscar has given his free
assent and preparations are going for
ward 10 make a king OF the prince as
soon as the union between Norway and
Sweden is formally and finally dis
solved.
Prince Carl has signihed his willing

new subjects,

He is a strong minded, studious, Sc

The selection of Prince Carl is re-

Sweden and no longer pay allegiance TO
King Oscar. there was great bitterness
in both countries.
Declared Against War,
King Oscar himself did much to recon

under no circumstances should there
be war. For time there was strong
opposition both in Sweden and Norway
to the accession to the Norwegian
throne by a Bernadotte prince. but with
the repeated urging that Prince Carl be
chosen King, this has worn away.

For fifty minutes. part Of the time in

Montague for Congress?

1t has been suggested that there is
a probability Of Governor Montague
going back to his home IN the Fifth dis
trict and running for Congress. In this
case The fight In the Fifth would be ex-
-remcly' interesting.
With $1,000 votes as Il basis of strength
and the belief that the total Democratic
vote viii not be above 5000, the Repub-
leans will start into the fight. They
count on smaller vote for Swanson
than the total cast in the primary, as
they feel that many of the Mann and
Willard adhercnts will stay away from
the polls If Swauson's = vote should drop
tC 10000. say the Republicans, Judge
Lewis is a good as elected, as they are
confident that they can poll more than
that number.
Their claim is that the elimination of
the coiored vote in Virginia has Brought
any number OF young men into the Re
publican ranks and that the IEdepend-
ents Of the State will turn out some
strength for Judge Lewis. With hard
work they count on victory.
The Democrats. on the other hand,
laugh at the claims of the Republicans,
although they are not Pleased with the
size OF the total Democratic strength.
They say 1t will be many long day be
fore Virginia goes Republican. 1t GER

AN EASTERN VIEW.

The people of Arizona have made
protest against the feature of the bill
now pending in congress that consol-
idates their territory and New Mexico
into one State, and have asked for
a hearing.
Congress-, however. ia firm against
admitting these territories as separate
states. The Eastern Senators and
members are Jealous OF the increased
power this would give the west in
the senate, and the Republicans do
not want Arizona a state by itself be-
cause it would probably be Democrat
ic. whereas New Mexico and Arizona
combined will be Republican. We
must remember that in the admission
of new states, politics alone governs.
1t is often asked how many popula,
ton a territory must have to entitle
it to admission as a state. The an
swer is that this lies with congress-
and that there is no question of right
involved.
Congress made no bones over admit
ting Nevada when 1t had only 10000
population. The reason was that the
state would be Republican. 1t has
however turned out to be Democratic
most of the time since. The Demo
Gratis have sometimes been strong
enough in congress to force a dicker
with the Republicans by which a
supposed Democratic state was admit
ted to counterbalance a supposedly
Republican me-. But in most cases
the new states have not been con-
slant in their politics.
Arizona has over three times the
population Nevada had when admit
ted, but it is now conceded by all
hat a great mistake was made when

her dwindling population below that
Of an average county in New York
or Pennsylvania, but yet with the
same power in the senate that those
great states have. So, while it is
true that political considerations gov
ern the admission of states cOnqress
is unwilling to risk repeating the Ne
vada error and the disposition is to
preserve the present balance of pow
Ell as nearly as possible by keeping
down the representation OF the west.
You will not hear such considerations
urged in debates on the admission
of states, but these are the ones that
settle the matter every time.-wash-

More Eastern Oysters.

A carload of young oysters from Old
Point Comfort, Va, passed through
Toledo Monday evening for Yaquina,
consigned to DR.. M. NJ. Davis and vii.
liam Toner, who will tuck them care
fully away in their little beds in va.
quina Bay. They will be carefully
nursed and guarded until they reach
the size which places them in the list Of
table luxuries. The rapid growth OF
eastern oysters planted in Yaquina
Bay several years ago leaves no doubt
that these will also thrive in their new
home The shipment was secured
through the federal government and
consists of 10 barrels, each containing
about $4,000 oysters.
