THE Firms ARE WELCOME.

The continued emigration, to the United States Of
the younger generation of Films since the recent
ton of the Russian imperial government in putting
end to certain autonomous rights which that
try had enjoyed since it's annexation to Russia ninety
years ago represents the national expression of dis
satisfaction with the change which has taken place.
Finland was annexed to Russia by force. Her
conquest was made palatabe to her people
by the voluntary recognition of the rights of internal
self government which prevailed during the as
cendancy of Sweden. But the recognition of those
rights by Russia has never been more than nominal,
and the work Of consolidation of imperial interests
which has been going on concurrently with the
tension of Russian sway in the direction Of the Orient
rendered it inevitable that even the nominal receg-
milton of Finnish autonomous rights should come to
close.
The United States will extend peculiarly cordial
welcome to the people of Finland who may think
proper to make their future homes here. The indus
try virtue and intelligence of the people of Finland
have passed into a proverb in Europe Here they can
find all the freedom that they wish for Placed
as their country Is in close proximity to the Russian
capital it would be surprising if they were, In the
prevailing order of things, longer allowed to remain
in possession Of their historic rights of selfgoYern
ment
Used. for several centuries to regard themselves as
free, it could not be expected that the people Fin
administrative officers of Russia which deprives them
of their recognized liberties To be and remain an
Insignificant part Of vast empire whose govern
ment is an autoeracy, is but poor prospect for
people that have reached the high state of enighen
ment which prevails among them. Their country,
men in the United States will beckon them West,
ward. They will continue to come in an increasing
ratio for many years to come. The increase in the
present years Finnish immigration into the United
States was fully SO per cent greater than that Of
last year. and the greater increase may be
looked for for many years to come.
When people leave their own land not from any
urging of physical want and bring with them to their
new home available possessions to enable
them to establish themselves in compare

STREAT0R z0UAVES.

New Theatre keyi Week.

During the week OF March 81 Provi-
dence is TO have an opportunity feat
ure that is conceded to have created the
greatest sensation ever known in vau-
deville and aroused enthusiasm of the
most unbounded and extravagant char
acter. This is the drilling exhibition of
the famous Streator Zouaves of Streat-
or, Ills, who have been specially en-
gagged to appear at the coming Paris
Exposition as a result of the furore
they have aroused in the theatres OF
the Keith circuit. Among military men
especially they have attracted great
attention, and have been pronounced
without any doubt the finest drilled
body Of men in this country, if not in
the world; and it il said to be pecu
liarity OF their work that IL seems to
appeal as strongly to ladies and chill
dren as to men personally identified
with military matters. There are l9
young men and a captain; and this is
the most costly feature ever presented

president OF the American Fe5e-stion of
Labor, was the principal speaker at the
peace meeting held In fremont Temple
yesterday under the auspices OF the Good
Citizenship society. Edwin ID. Mead
presided. Mr.. Gompers referred TO the
position OF organized labor on the ques-
ton OF expansion. and said If a Republi-
can form of government was ever right
II Is right now. and what was wrong in
Spain is wrong in the United states. If
II was right for the founders os this gov
ernment TO fight for free government il
is not today right TO fight against it. We
are today fighting against the only
As!atic country that has ever made an
attempt to establish republican form
Of government. and we are today seri-
ously considering taking part In a scheme
10 divide up China. because IL will help
our trade.
The organizations OF labor recognize
that a large standing army is always
necessary TO maintain Imperialism. and
that the heads Of the army are always
anxious TO prosecute their profession,
which is the slaughter of man. They
also recognize that standing army Is a
menace to liberty and fomenter OF
trouble between man and man. If peace
cannot be secured i'm any other way the
time is coming when federated labor will
refuse TO make implements that are in
tended TO strike down their fellowmen,
when shipbuilders will refuse 10 con-
struct vessels Of war. when sailors will
refuse 60 navigate ships of war, and
when aii-workers will refuse to con-
tribute their labors I'm any way for the
slaughter OF their brethren, wherever
they may be. There is a treaty being
formulated by the upiaa-workers OF
Great Britain and America which will
make peace necessary without the in
tervention OF governments. There has
never been a conference OF workers that
has not declared for tranquility and
peace.
Harry Lloyd Of Boston said that he was
IN hearty sympathy with all that Mr..
Gompcrs had said
George T.. Mcneil said the standing
army which is organized at the bidding
of capital is the burden which the labor
Ing men have to bear.
