FINLAND.

The refusal of the Finnish senate
to promulgate the rescript limiting the
use of the Finnish language in the diff
ferent branches of the government has
been received with general satisfaction
by the people of Finland. The pro-
mitigation of a manifesto in February
created general dissatisfaction, and
su~bmissiveness has proven to be of no
use. The newspapers praise the sena-
tors for their courage. It is feared
that the complete adjustment of the
senate is only a question of time.
DR.. Lille, publisher of Nye Pressen,
which was suppressed q short time
ago, says that everything points to the
Justification of Finland. At first it
was thought'that the present policy of
Russia in regard to Finland was
crowded upon the czar. But low it is
plain that the car himself is thor
oughly committed to the policy Of
Russifying Finland as speedily as pos
sible. The only salvation lies in the
remote possibility of Russia being
drawn into some terrible world-war
that may exhaust her strength.

1t cannot be denied that the ever
lasting q%uarrels between the Firms
and the Swedes within the Finnish ma
ton itself made it much easierfor Rus
STA to stamp out both languages at
once and make Russian the official,
and finally the only language. The
Films, as late as the year 1897, felt so
strong that they directly petitioned
the car to make Finnish the official
language of the country, thereby ig-
noring and offending the powerful
Swedish element. The latter protest
ed, and the answer to the petition has
come to the Finnish people in the form
of a manifesto, the aim of which is a
gradual but relentless suppression of
both the Finnish and the Swedish Ian
guage in 'the land of the thousand
lakes" Upon the heels of this fatal
manifesto comes the order to suppress
Nya Pressen for all time. This paper
has been the most outspoken and fear
less defender of the rights of Finland.
The fate of Finland has aroused the
thinking Swedes and N~orwegians to a
keener realization of the fact that they

the East by their quarrels. This SEN
timent is voiced in Malmotidningen of
July 4, which says in part: "Does the
fate of Finland teach the other Scandi-
navian peoples anything? Many things
betoken q realization of the common
danger threatening us. In Sweden it
appears as a greater readiness to make
sacriIces for the defenses If the com.
try. Our neighbor across the Kjolen
mountains has been enthusing our
defenses for some time past. but his
aim has been to protect himself
against his brother to the east. Is it
not about time to lay aside the battle
trumpet of petty jealousies and think
on a larger scale about the future of
the Scandinavian nations? After all,
it does not make much difference
whether you are a Westgote or a Nor
wegian, a man from Bergen or q Swede.
A Skane man and one from Dalarne, q
N%orrbottning and q Gotlanning really
differ far more from each other than
do a Norwegian and a Swede. What's
the use of these eternal quarrels, con-
sidering-that we are all Scandinavians,
that we use practically the same Ian
guage, and that we have mainly the
same customs and laws? We are also
equally interested in not being treated
to a manifesto which cuts off all our
little differences by assimilating us in
the motherly bosom of the great and
holy Russian empire"
