The Eafe of Finland.

The case of the Fins Is one that ap-
peals with peculiar force to American
sympathies. Here is little nation
that for 1900 years has enjoyed its
own government, its religion, its own
literature and its own language, now
about to have all ruthlessly torn from
them by the cruel decree of the Rus
sian Government.
1t was in 1914 that Russia took pos
session of Finland, but by a solemn
treaty that Finland should forever en-
Joy her own autonomy. This treaty so
far has been faithfully kept. All the
Russian Cars have confirmed it, as
Grand Dukes of Finland, in their cor
onation oaths, and when the present
Car was crowned, a few years ago,
he solemnly repeated the oath, and yet
suddenly as thunderbolts from a clear
sky takes away from that people all
their privileges.
Hitherto the young Car has given
the best promise of becoming a lib
eral and conscientious sovereign. How
such a man should have been moved
to break his oath so shortly after tax
ing it is one of the most remarkable
problems of psychology.-New York

The artists with word and brush

reader to revise their productions
when we come to export extensively
to Turkey. The star and crescent, for
example, were recently shut out by
the custom house censor there be-
cause that emblem is sacred to Tur-
key. Some British soap with. much
needed directions for use, in careful
Turkish, was sent back out of the
country because cher majesty the

in some way approved of, the soap.
There is only one majesty, it appears,

The battle for woman's rights in
Germany began as very mild argu-
ment. The sedate hausfrau was slow
In moving, but now that she is in good
going order she is carrying everything
before her, even to the very doors of
the Reichstag. The league of women's
associations, from a timid organiza-
ton, has grown to be force OF mighty
influence, and is gaining in strength
every day. In several States the APP
pointment of women as sanitary in
spectors has now been secured; the
state orphanages in Berlin are in fut-
ure to be differed in part by women,
ard the railway administration has
been forced to admit women on equal
footing with men. Naturally the men
are crying out against the unfair COM
petition, but then men always were
selfish brutes, anyway.

The United States and Great Britain
should blaze the way for universal
arbitration by negotiating a treaty
which will bind them to submit their
differences to a peaceful tribunal, says
the Baltimore Sun. When the world
has realized the advantages which the
English-speaking people enjoy from
such an agreement the enlightened
sentiment of other nations will COM
pei their governments to fall into line
and accept arbitration as the only SEN
sible and civilized method of adjust
ing international controversies.

There are few words in the English
language more commonly misused and
abused or more difficult of definition
than the little word of three letters,
art, which in its common acceptance
means the principle of beauty shaped
by human effort. 1t is often distorted
to signify artifice Sometimes we hear
the expressions good art and bad
art" when, as a matter of fact, there
can be no true art which is not good
art, any more than there can be bad
poetry and bad music, states the San
Francisco Chronicle. Art may be mis-
applied, wasted, obscured, degraded
to base purposes. but if it be true art
the high principle is there, shining like
q beam of light which cleaves the
darkness.

According to "The Journal of Com
mence," E. C. Brandenburg, the bank
ruptcy expert of the Department of
Justice at Washington, believes that
the National Bankruptcy act has
worked to the satisfaction of business
men and the legal profession, except
in one or two particulars. Inasmuch
as dishonest men often get free from
their obligations and then go reckless
ly into business again, he would amend
the law so that a judge may, In his
discretion, deny the application when
it appears that the transaction is not
conducted in good faith. Mr.. Brandon
burg does not favor the proposition to
have a minimum percentage that the
debtor should pay.

The proposal to build Admiral
Dewey n fine home and settle a for
tune on him recalls the fact that sew
eral heroes of the Civil War were
similarly rewarded. Grant received
houses in Philadelphia, Galena and
Washington; and Sherman, Sheridan,
Farragut and Porter were either domi-
ciled or given large sums of money.
As Dewey is a widower he may not
choose to maintain n private residence,
but lie probably would not mind own
ing a fine rentable mansion for all
that.

Little Danger of Competition Wild

"Just at the present time" faid 3
prominent tobacco man, ait is OF inter-
est to consider the relation OF the Pail
fppine tobacco industry to the Unlteu
States. There need be no fear OF con-
petition. We will sell them infnltety
more than We will ever buy from them,
and as the islands get more clvliizeu
and more Americans and Europeans
settle there we will sell them more
and more tobacco and cigars and Dty
less, though we can not take many
fewer cigars than we do now, reia'e'
the New York Sun. Il have seVeldi
acquaintance, Englishmen, who coca
sionally like q Manila cigar, and they
have to get them ct one dealer. lie
sends to Canada for these cigars IN
single case lots, for there Is no STOCK
Kept In this country. and yet they maze
in the Philippines a matter Of 15o,ooo'-
600 cigars a year. There have peeh
from time to time efforts to Introduce
these cigars here, but without much
success. In England they sell very
largely, mainly in bundles OF I'VE anu
six, which cost twenty cents a buha'e'
These are both cheroots and CIGARS

strips of red and yellow paper. about
quarter of an inch broad. They come
500 In a big cedar box. with sllohS
lid, and cost the English dealer, duty
paid about s3.50. They are to be
found in nearly every drug store ID
the country. The tobacco is OF pecu-
liar light color, most of it rather duii
looking, and 1t has, to my taste, the
flavor among tobaccos which the beet
has among vegetables, rather eartny-
1t is also heavy in type, and makes the
smoker rather sleepy, which gives rise
to the mistaken idea that there Is opi-
UNI In 1t. Our people will not smoke
It at any price, 1t is good enough, but
not the type they prefer. When the
last rebellion In Cuba began and the
supplies Of Havana leaf tobacco fell OH,
among the growths introduced as sub
stitutes was Manila. but even under
these favorable conditions the impor-
tations never amounted to much more
than drop in the ocean. In 1892 we
brought in S.S76 pounds, valued at ST.
1893; in 1893, 1,2es pounds, valued at
5000; In 1894. none, and in 1896. 1880
pounds, valued at s1.724. None OF this
was classified as wrapper tobacco. In
cigars the inportations In 1892 were
339 pounds, valued at s442; in 1893. 52G
pounds. valued at sS17; In 1S9i95, 1,2So
pounds, valued at sS0S. and in 1886,
1895 pounds, valued at s614. The great
bulk Of these shipments came from
Canada. Outside of one uptown store
which deals in every tobacco under the
sun, or pretty nearly, l do not think
you could find a Manila cigar In the
city, except mementoes recently
brought back by soldiers"

steel bridges on the line of the Trans

teen bridges which this company has
undertaken for the same projects

industry and enterprise. Bridge-build-

ly attempted to compete with Euro
pean firms in the latter's own terri
tory, but the contract recently placed
in this country for steel bridge in the

COURTS PROTECT ENTERPRISE.
Important Decision in Regard to Reputa-
t,ons Built Up by Advertising.

In the United States Circuit Court In San
Francisco, CAL, decision has been given
that is OF great interest to manufacturer OF
proprietary articles and to publish ers. me
case in question was the suit OF the Califor-
mia Fig Syrup Co. to obtain permanent IN
junction, which was granted, enjoining q
large non-sccret manufacturing concern and
others from using the name Syrup OF
Figs" or Zig Syrup" and ordering the de-
PENDANTS to pay costs and damages. The
decision proves that the courts VIII
protect the valuable reputation OF an article
of merit, built up by probity OF word as wen
as by extensive advertising, so that the
owner may reap the full benefit. The over
merits of the company's laxative, could not
be eainsaid by the defendants. and the In
junction was the result.

The plan proposed by ex-AE5assa-
dor Hitchcock for the removal to Rus

Paris Exposition appears likely to be
put in execution. The idea is to take
the exhibits to Moscow or st. Peters

Paris Exposition closes. An immense
market awaits American m:nufac-
tured products in Russia and it is
urged that an exhibit there would bear
rich fruits.

Contrary to the general impression,
the season of the greatest average of

matter seems to follow the principle
found TO govern the prevalence OF
crime in general.
