This is intended to con vey the impression that Gov. Burke is willing to properly recognize the Scandinavians while Gov. Miller was not. The opposite is nearer the truth. The Scandinavians held more important positions under Miller than under Jiurko.

Lnngston, who for olliee holding purposes, claims a residence in Vir ginia, and who has broken Mahone's power in his own district by taking the nogro vote away from him. The term: of the bargain are that Langs ton shall again turn the negro vole over to Mnhone, who i.s to resume his position as Republican boss of Virginia, in return for which Mahono is to urge the name of Langiitou upon Mr. Harrison for one of the new Unit,rd States circuit judgeships. It is believed that Mr. Harrison has already partly promised to elevate Langstoa to the bench, and that he had this bargain in mind, when he told the detention of cheeky negroes, calling themselves "journalists," several days ago, that hi would be pleased to consider the name of a member of their race Whom they con sidered snlliciently learned in the law to discharge the duties of a judge. Ilar-rison is to get the solid Virginia delegation to the next Re publican national convention for his pay. if he dares to appoint this negro, Langston to the bench he will also get. and fully deserve the execra tion of ninety-nino decent white men out of every hundred in every section of the country. It is entirely in keeping with Mahone's political career that it should wind up in a partnership with a corrupt negro demagogue. The Flies Even, "Mowed iliin."

SCANDINAVIAN 8INGERS. The world has heard so much of Ole Boll and Jenny land and the beautiful and attractive, as well as melodious, Nilsson that the impression is created that after them all seem commonplace. Yet not only does the Norseman's race still supply sweet singers and great art ists, but in the late Niels Wilhelm Gade Denmark boasted one of the greatest of modern composers—the founder of the Scandinavian school which introduced a new element into European music. The following account is from the "Scan dinavian Song," of Minneapolis. His father was a maker of musical in struments in the Danish capital, where Niels himself was born on Oct. 82,1817. A lad of great promise, he received early instruction on the violin, piano and guitar. But the family resources were limited. His first teacher was a mere technician. It was not until he was put under the instruction of Wiershall, Berg green and Weise that he really began to justify liis early promise. He wrote some compositions that showed remarkable prococity of imitation rather than of in vention. Even yet he had not developed his true bent. A lucky chance, before lie was yet out of his teens, made him a member of the royal orchestra at Copen 1 lagen. There, having access to the scores of tho great composers, he attained an insight into the mysteries of instrumenta tion, and laid the foundation of his future great success. That success was first realized by his "Ossian Overture," which in 1841 gained tho prize offered by the Copenhagen Mu sical union. Its famo was not merely local. It was played all over Europe, it crossed the Atlantic and has frequently been heard in American concert saloons. So recently as Dec. 13, nine days before the death of the composer, it was played at the Symphony Society's concert in New York city, under the direction of Walter Damrosch, But luckily the prophet was honored in his own country as well as abroad. The Danish king was a lover of mnsic. He admired the "Ossian Overture" in the young man of twenty-four who had produced it ho was a rare and great genius. A royal stipend was settled on Gade to enable him to take a trip to Germany. Naturally his steps turned to Mendelssohn and the Gewandhaus at Leipsic. Mendelssohn welcomed him with open arms. In the "Ossian Over ture" he had recognized a disciple of his, informed, however, by an original spirit and a national character that had not hitherto displayed itself in the higher forms of instrumental music. NIELS W. GADE. It was in Leipsic that his first sym phony was produced, March 2, 1843. It remains one of his greatest works. Short ly after its appearance Gade traveled in Italy, returning to Leipsic in 1844 to con duct tho Gewandhaus concerts during the temporary absence of Mendelssohn. In the winter of 1845-0 he was Men delssohn's assistant conductor, and on March 3 of the latter year he produced his cantata of "Camala." On Mendels sohn's death Gade conducted alone until 1848, when lie returned to Copenhagen. In 1886 he was made commander of the order of the Dannebrog. For the past forty years he has led an uneventful life in the capital of Denmark, honored by all, and there he died on Dec. 22, 1890. His amiable and kindly character is re flected in his works, as well as his rare refinement and delicacy of mind. TTia compositions are northern in sentiments, but it is not the rough vigor, the ber serker rage of the Norseman that are heard in them it is rather the simple pathos, the delicate cadences of the Scan dinavian folk-song. Among living musicians, Johan Sven sen takes a place in the front rank, and musical people in New York express a desire that he may take the place which Theodore Thomas so successfully has filled for many years, and recently va cated by removing to Chicago. Svensen as musician, composer and orchestra leader has created for himself an enviable national reputation, and the Scandinavian countries can rightly be proud of the stock of this kind fostered by them, and who repeatedly has been brought more and more into prominence in the last quarter of a century, till they today demand due recognition for their abilities. In Copenhagen, where Svensen for several years has been the mnriqii di rector of his majesty's royal orchestra, splendid opportunity has been given him to devote all his energy to perfect him self in his art of composing, and the re sult has been that we at various Hm«a hear of some new compositions by Mm for orchestra, though us far westerners do not have the opportunity to hear the music played until a long time after ward.

PntKnmcit VON Wiesbaden, Oteu September, 1890. NEW NATIONAL HOLIDAY. Professor R. B. Anderson, the well known author and lato United States minister to Denmark, through the Scan dinavian press in this country for somo time past has been urging tho Scandi navian population to come together the first day of October each year for the purpose of celebrating tho discovery of America by the Norse Viking Leif Erik son in tho Tenth century. In order to ascertain the facts concern ing this new holiday a reporter of a Wis consin paper recently called on the pro fessor and had a brief conversation with him. "The question of a holiday in com memoration of the Norse discovery of America is a matter which I have long been considering," said Professor Ander son. "I first proposed it publicly in a lecture delivered last Juno in Central Music hall, Chicago. As you are well aware, the Norwegians have a national holiday, the 17th of May, which corre sponds in many respects to the American Fourth of July, and which they have been in the habit of celebrating every year throughout the northwest. The 5th of June is a similar day for tho Danes. These holidays are political in their character, and refer to compara tively recent political events in the mother countries." "Is there any objection to the con tinuance of these celebrations?" asked the reporter. "The objections may not be of a seri ous character, but in the first place it is difficult to get our American fellow citi zens to thoroughly comprehend the sig nificance of these holidays to Scandi navians. They have no international importance. In the second place it is hnt natural that the descendants of Scandinavian settlers should gradually lose their enthusiasm for political events on the other side of the Atlantic and be come unable to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the festivities. In the third place—a fact that I would particularly emphasize—the 17th of May, for instance, represents the separation of Norway from Denmark, shortly afterward fol lowed by a union between Norway and Sweden. There naturally is, as there always has been, more or less rivalry be tween the Scandinavian countries, and so you see that much of this feeling crops out in the orations delivered on that day. Reference to these things may be proper enough in Norway, Sweden and Den mark, where each nation is bound to jealously guard its rights, but the less wo have of that feeling in this country the better for all concerned. There should bo no race antagonism perpetu ated in America, where the people from all lands are eventually to amalgamate into one grand brotherhood and form a new race of men." "Are you sure these difficulties will be avoided in your new festival, and will not the Norwegians claim tho day?" "I see no opportunity in my schemo for lauding one nationality at the ex pense of the others. Tho discovery of America took place in the year 1000 that is a fixed fact. You know Leif Erikson already has two monuments in this country—one in Boston and one in Milwaukee. When we go back as far as that in the history of Scandinavia the lines between the different natioTmlitips are not so distinctly drawn as now, and writers both in and outside of Scandina via have long been in the habit of treat ing Scandinavia of the Middle Ages as a unity. When we speak, for instance, of the Norse invasions iu France, England, Russia and other countries we apply tho term Norsemen to the people of the Scan dinavian north, including Iceland, and so when we use the term Old Norse litera ture we embrace in the term all the lit erature of those countries, and I cannot conceive of descendants of the Norwe gians, Swedes and Danes in this country. picking a quarrel as to whether the achievements of the ancient Scandinavi ans belonged to the ancestors of the one or the other. "The Leif Erikson festival refers dis tinctly to an event in American history, and people are presumed to take an in terest in a conspicuous event in the his tory of their own country. What event in the history of America can be more Ja A." interesting than the first landing of white man on the shores of this western continent? You see that the Norse dis covery of America constitutes the first link in the chain of relations between Scandinavia and America. It is, more over, the first chapter of the written his tory of America. What, then, can be more proper than that the descendants of tho discoverers living in America should celebrate this event, and I may add that I fully expect that tho day will come when all Americans will unite in com memorating in some appropriate manner the first landing of white men on our shores." "Why liavo you decided upon the 1st of October?" "Because we learn from the sagas that Leif Erikson came to America in the autumn of the year, and that he and his followers found ripe grapes, and on ac count of their abundance he named the country Vinland the Good. It is to be a grape festival. I expect the festivities to assume the form of picnics." "What opportunities are there in your schemo for speechmaking?' "The theme is practically nnlimifrvl, especially as far as Scandinavian in fluence upon mediaeval and modern his tory is concerned. The orator may speak of the Vinland voyages he may kindle tho enthusiasm of his hearers with great achievements of Scandinavians in all times and all parts of tho globe ho may paint pictures from our common ances tral mythology, dwell on the vital im portance of the literature of Scandinavia, ancient and modern, and inasmuch as tho subject touches America as well as Scandinavia, tho orator may spread his eagle wings and soar wherever he list ctli over tho inviting fields of American liberty, progress and patriotism." "That seems to bo a grand idea. It ought to tako among the Scandinavians. Have they shown any inclination to adopt your scheme?" "Practically I have been agitating this question only sinco the first of the year, but tho ball is already rolling and I have had a number of favorable responses^ both in the Scandinavian press and from Scandinavian societies and individuals. In several places celebrations have al ready been decided upon, and I am con stantly getting encouraging letters. I fully expect that a largo number of Leif Erikson festivals will be held on tho 1st of October, and intend to bo the orator at one of them." THE SCANDINAVIAN IMMIGRATION. From the time the Swedes settled in Delaware, in 1638, under the auspices of Queen Christina, until tho first part of the present century there was no regular immigration to this country from Scan dinavia. We find, however, two Scandi navian names honorably mentioned in the annals of the War of Independence, and meet occasionally a few stragglers who in the course of time had made their appearance on the American soil. The first organized group of Scandina vian immigrants arrived in one of the years between 1825 and 1829. The vessel Restaurationen, which had the immi grants on board, cleared from Stavanger, Norway, with America as its destination, in the spring. Owing to ignorance on the part of the captain it drifted down to Madeira island. Here they met the Amer ican consul and were kindly treated by him he furnished them with afresh sup ply of provisions, and they again set out on their perilous journey, safely reach ing the land of their longing after hav ing spent nearly four months on the sea. This was the advance guard of the Scandinavian immigration of our time. For nearly thirty years the movement was confined principally to Norway. Persecution of a mild order drove many Quakers away from their native coun try. Dissatisfaction with the social and political conditions in Norway caused others to renounce the land of their fathers, while hope of procuring for themselves better opportunities than the parent soil could offer, then as now, was the potent cause of immigration. I1ENIUK IBSEN, Only a very small number of Nor wegian immigrants remained in the east. Tho vicinity of Rochester, N. Y., gave land and homes to several of the first adventurers iu the twenties, but tho greater part of these, as well as nearly all later arrivals for many years subsequent, continued their journey to Chicago and Milwaukee and settled in Illinois and Wisconsin. As the first half of the present century drew toward its close tho Scandinavian immigration assumed greater propor tions. From that time on the Swedes began to form a considerable portion of the contingents, at times even outnum bering the Norwegians. The Danish im migration dates from a still later period. Few in comparison with their Swedish and Norwegian neighbors, the Danes also scattered more than did those. At the present time the three nation alities are distributed about as follows: Norwegians in Illinois, Wisconsin, Min nesota, Dakota, Iowa, Kansas and Ne braska Swedes in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iliinnia, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas. The have shown a decided preference for Ne braska they are, however, also largely represented iu Wisconsin, Iowa, Minne sota, Illinois and Michigan. On the Pacific coast, California is the favorite resort of the Danes and Swedes. Oregon and Washington have of late years received a large iuflux of Nor wegians. »nd Joatph Kotechtan nortf«f0n 4ttf|ljUttail.
