RUSSIAS' INJUSTICE.

TAugustine Birrell in the Contemporary
The case for Finland on paper is ir-
resistible; nor can suppose it would
ever have been challenged but for the
fact that during the last decade or two
there has appeared in Russia a race of
men so honestly dominated by the uni
ficatiOn idea as to be wholly Indifferent
to- and consequently almost entirely ig-
norant of, local traditions and history.
How easy it is for politicians to remain
in complete ignorance of all that con-
Germ outlying provinces and colonies we
do not need to be reminded. The things
English statesmen do not know about
Ireland would still fill volumes. Nor is
there anything SO productive OF indiffer-
ence, and so preventative of ignorance,
as a dominating idea. Whatever feeds
and fosters the idea is indeed hastily
devoured and quickly assimilated, but
everything which questions the idea,
which seems to challenge it's right to go
forward, is scornfully rejected without
examination. We saw this frame of mind
plentifully illustrated during our late
home rule controversy.
1t is not, therefore, surprising to find
that the statesmen who surround the
czar know nothing about Finnish history,
and are irTitated and puzzled when they
hear talk of constitutions and fundamen-
tai laws. Constitution has never been
well sounding word in the ears of Rus
sian officialism. It is an old joke how
'.Combe on the Constitution of Man"
never succeeded in getting into St. Pc
terSburg.
Were the subject not SO melancholy and
disheartening one,it would be amusing
to comment on the total inability of the
Bobrikoffs and Kuropotkins to under
stand the Finnish case. These gallant
warriors have never learned the alpha
bet of constitutionalism, and they can
make nothing of it whatever. Autocracy
they know; it is power unlimited How
is it possible, they ask, that what is I'M
limited in mighty Russia can be restrict
ed in tiny Finland? A constitution is but
a ukase and what a ukase did another
ukase can undo. A fundamental law is
more than these gentlemen can digest.
The works of Bryce and Dicey are not
upon their shelves. What they want is
to increase the Russian army with Fin
nish conscrfpts, and so break down the
rules that hitherto have preserved the
national aspect of the Finnish army. To
make the young Finnish soldier Rus
sian soldier, and to have SO per thousand
of the Finnish population under arms,
instead of only per thousand, is what
they want for their Imperial master, and
when they are told that by fundamen-
tai law of Finland the czar of all the
Russias cannot have what he wants for
his own army without the consent of the
Four Estates of Finland they are likely
to die of apoplexy. 1t is as if a mast
headed Inidshipman had demanded his
writ of habeas corpus from Commander
TrunniOn.

JUDGE WILLIAM q. TAFT.

"We have full instructions and ex-
tensive powers. The latter we shall not
exercise until we have had ample time
to acquire sufficient knowledge of the
situation to enable us to proceed to en-
act legislative changes and reforms, pre-
liminary to the establishment of stable,
civil government. Until we assume au-
thority, General Macarthur will con-
tinue to perform the duties and exercise
the powers formerly performed and ex-
ercised by General Otis, and even after
we take active and full part in the gov
eminent, General Macarthur will con-
tinue as the executive head until, upon
our recommendation to President Nc
Kinley, it shall seem to the president
that the time has arrived for the an
pointment of civil executive and for
making the military forces merely
auxiliary in carrying on the civil gov
eminent, to be available only in cases Of
emergency for the suppression of law
less violence too formidable to be over
come by the regularly organized police,
1--WE are aware that there are several
issues of deep interest to the Filipinos
upon which it is our duty to take action.
Some of these involve judicial investiga-
ton and decisions upon legal rights.
Others call for the careful exercise of
political power in order to secure equita-
BILE adjustments. Upon the latter class
of issues we cannot now speak.
Representing the sovereignty of the
United States in the Philippines, which
it is the purpose of our government to
maintain, we are here to do justice to the
Filipinos and to secure for them the best
measure of popular control as is consist

CROPS MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
Seasonabe Weather Has Had a Good Effect
Throughout New England District.

Boston, June 5.-The United States de-
partment of agriculture, climate and
crop service of the weather bureau, New
England section, issues the following
bulletin for the week ending June 4:
The week has been favorable for both
agricultural work and growth of crops.
The surface of the ground has been
warm enough to cause greater develop
ment in vegetation than during any pre-
ceding week Of the season.. The alb
sence of rain during the first part of the
week has enabled farmers to make rapid
progress in the planting of crops. In the
southern district, including Massachu'
sets, Rhode Island and Connecticut, al
most all planting has been completed;
In the three northern states of the sec
ton considerable seeding is yet to be
done.
Rye has headed in Massachusetts and
looks we'll. Early corn in places was
cut down by the frost, necessitating
considerable replanting. Much corn in
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
is yet to be planted. Oats have made
Aoplu SIOWLu uuIlIS Tic WCCh anu dlC
promising.
Aside from the check due to the dry
weather of the early part of the week
the grass crop has made rapid progress.
Meadows in Maine are reported to be in
excellent condition, though the pastures
are not yet sufficiently advanced to af-
ford satisfactory grazing
The frost of May 20 did much damage
to Strawberries, destroying the more
advanced, and thus delaying the crop.
Apples in the northern districts are now
in bloom, and the weather is favorable
for pollenizing. There are not the large
number of caterpillars that wrought
such havoc last season, but trees that
were badly worm eaten last year have
not bloomed. Plum and pear trees are
reported to be we'll laden. Cranberry
boys suffered slightly by the frost of the
29th. There will be some peaches in
Rhode Island.
Some potatoes were damaged by the |
frost of the goth. Potato bugs are re-
ported in Rhode Island and Massachu-
sets. Many potato fields have been
hoed. Gardens are now growing rapidly
and vegetables are rapidly recovering
from the effects of cool weather.
Much tobacco is now being set in
Massachusetts and Connecticut. The
ground is in excellent condition, being
warm for the first time this spring.

armed enemy have ceased operations.
We cannot deal with armed men. Cen
eral Macarthur and the army will do
that.
when those now in arms have laid
them down, relying, as they certainly
can, upon the justice, generosity and
clemency of the United States, we shall
give them all full hearing upon the
policy to be pursued and forms to be
initiated. We propose to inaugurate as
comprehensive a school system through
out the islands as circumstances will al
low. 1 am surprised that Manila has not
received news regarding the Spooner bill,
a measure calculated to help us greatly
in DIR work here"
