JULY nth, 1900.
|. N. JONES,
Richmond, Va:

Gentlemen,-We are just in receipt Of q
little book entitled Suburban Rcfec-
ton, in which your imprint appears, and
as it is SO unusual to see the best class
of work from the southern section of our
country, we write to compliment you on
Ibis production. The little booklet is, as
a whole, wonderfully attractive. the half
tone plates very much above the average
and as regards clearness and detail and
Typography and presswork of the highest
order. This little Booklet would be a
credit TO any printer, no matter how high
up in his profession, and it is a most graft
flying indication of the advancement in
the various arts now taking place
throughout the South Work of this kind
educates the public taste, leads to q de-
mand for finer printing and most effcc-
tualy raises the whole standard OF the
demand and brings to the printers
much higher class of trade and more
profitable to them than that which is
based solely on price.
This little booklet will not only benefit
you, but, through its educating influence
the printing trade in general. We have
felt for a long time that such work could
only be done in the North. and, generally
speaking. in the larger cities at that; but
this little booklet undeceives US, and we
sincerely congratulate you on its pro
duction. Yours truly.
DILL & COLLINS.

THE RUssIrICaTIoN OF FINLAND.

The classification Of Finland is some
thing that IS likely 10 move nl Europe in
a way that the British war in South Africa
has never done. There are always some
people Who love righteousness and justice
for their own sakes, and to these the be-
havtor of Russia in destroying the free
dom of brave. honest and liberty-lovtns
people WAS cause of grief and sorrow.
But, Ike many another wicked action,
the on-looker comtorted himself by saying
that ii was 4 fight between Russia and
Finland, ana that as Russia owned Fin
land, It made little difference what the
outcome was. i now seems us if the
action OF Russia in stamping out the free
dom Of these brave people is going to cause
complications that Will affect the whole of
Europe. Already the swedes and Norwe-
g.ans are beginning to fear that Russia
VIII advance on them SO that she may have
port on the Atlantic Ocean that viii be
open all the year around If Russia were
TO get Trondhjem or Bergen in Norway,
she would then have port that would be
ice free ana that would enable her 10 keep
her war vessels in the Atlunt!c all the
year around. The menace that this would
be 10 England and Germany is well UNI
derstood by those two nations, and we do
not believe for one instant that they would
allow Russia 10 make any such advance
as this without bitter opposition. None
the less, the Scandinavian people fear it
as a possibility, and are already beginning
10 talk Of the necessity of fighting Russia
for Independence.
In Finland and Sweden there are rail-
roads paralleling the side of the Gulf of
Bothnia, and needing only few hundred
miles of construction in order to join Rus
sia and Sweden by rail. AS soon as a
line is constructed from Uleaborg, in Fin
land. 10 Bodden. in Sweden. ST. Petersburg
will be in touch with Stockholm by rail-
and the Scand.navians are already ques-
tioning whether il is wise TO give up their
natural ice barrier IN the Gulf of Bothnia
ard Baltic Sea for the doubtful privilege
of being situated SO that they can be
overrun by Russian troops. II Russia
does take Norway ana SWSGeh she WI!
control the Straits at Copenhagen, and can
force Germany TO send all of her war and
merchant vessels through the great ship
canal from Kiel to the Elbe River.
A further cause for alarm is found by
The scandnavians in the fact that under
the Constitution of Finland, which the
Russians have abolished, no foreign troops,
not even the Russians. could be modified
IN Finland. Now that safeguard is gone,
and By way of showing his power, it is
quite possible that the cznr may hold his
summer manoeuvers in Finland by way Of
object lessons 10 Europe, and to encourage
the Firms TO be law-ab.d.ns and loyal sub
jects.
We do not think the Firms will offer
armed resistance to the bitter wrong that

remained open and that arrangem ents

supported the proposal OF the Minister'S,
and adopted :. resolution in favor OF the
entire plan. 1t is said the proposed ar
