a little attention on our part to the
Greek fair might cause Greece to show
particular interest in the louisiana

of the opinion that the Greek market
is open to almost every manufacture

ate. He calls particular attention to
farming implements, various mechani-
cal instruments and devices. including
typewriters, letter and printing

RUSSIA IN FINLAND.

What Russian rule means to the peo-
pie of Finland was strikingly illus
trated the other day in Helsingfors,
when colossal statue of the great
Finnish patriot and scholar, Elias
Loennrot, who died nearly twenty
years ago, was unveiled without cere-
monies of any kind. Loenrott collected
and edited the great Finnish national
epic, the "Kalevala," and is celebrates
as the father of the national Finnish
literature. The first steps towards the
raising of the statue, which was exc
cuted by the gifted Finnish sculptor
Mr.. e. Wikstroem. were taken by the
Finnish Society of Literature. The So
ciety applied some time ago to the gov
ernor-general for permission to unveil
the statue with the usual ceremonies,
but the permission was only granted
under the impossible condition that all
speeches should be previously censored
by the overnor-general, and that the
national anthem must not be sung.
This being the first time that the Fin
nish national anthem had been formal
ly forbidden, the society preferred that
the statue should be unveiled without
any ceremonies. So the figure was I'M
covered without formalities of any
kind, but the number of wreaths, COM
ing from all parts of Finland, which
have been deposited at its feet. show
how deeply the feelings of the people
were affected.

Fortunately this bird does pot attack

Wilson fully appreciated the strength
and courage of this bird, and he had
every reason to. He once took cap

it he relates as follows: Il took
him upstairs, and locked him in my

Hamilton would be in far better ease
to-day if they had encouraged the use
Of the pony intelligently and instruc-
lively, relying upon their own keenness
Of perception, as guardians Of the
educational interests Of the young men,
to see to it that the use did not de-
generate into an abuse. Rightly used
the pony is most assuredly most
valuable tool in the hands of students
of the classics, and professor who is
equal to the RESPONSIBILITIES that devolve
upon him should have little difficulty
in ascertaining whether or not it is
piled to the greatest real advantage
of the individuals most concerned.
Sweepingly to condemn as vicious a
practice so full of real virture is a
serious mistake, and We hope the
Hamilton faculty will be wise enough
to perceive the fact and promptly
rescind their indefensible regulation

ONLY ONE

A painful thing happened in Denver
last Tuesday. Woman suffrage prevails
in Colorado. and the women there vote
as if they liked to. That is, many of
them do. Their influence is. of course,
always on the side of morality. good
government. purity in politicsand all the
other good things. But it is sadly true
that a woman was arrested in Denver
on Tuesday for repeating" She had
succeeded in voting twice, and perhaps
she would have voted more times if she
had not been caught. She said in ex-
PLANTATION of her crime that she needed
the money.
OF course this melancholy incident
will be made the text of numerous and
lugubrious walls by those who are look
ing for facts to support their theory
that woman is no better than man in
politics. But there is no need Of pay
ing any attention to these walters. One
swallow doesn't make a summer, and
the appearance of one woman repeat
err doesn't show that woman ought not
to have the ballot. 1t is bad enough
and sad enough that there should be
even one, but in order to see things in
their true light just think of the men re-
peaters who were busy last Tuesday.

wonder you say there is no blue like
the sky Of Arizona.
But it is not the intense blue Of New

When you see a bare, red Arizona
mountain a long way off, the blue and
violet and purple of it seem like the

the east in a clear sunset glow, and 1t
would be more startling than in Ari-
IONA. But We have not such mountains
here, and Arizona has not our at
mesphere capable Of giving color to the
dingiest object. However, she has
great local color, and great distances
to change It into many tints. A field
of alfalfa is the most brilliant of

in between that the light and shade

GOVERNOR VAN sAN4'S VICTORY.


One of the several significant things
which happened on election day was
the reelection of Governor Van SAINT,
of Minnesota. by an enormous plural
ity. Governor Van SAINT has in the
past twelve months antagonized the
greatest railroad and financial interests
in the United States in his efforts to
prevent the merger of the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific railroads.
In attempting to thwart the plans of
Mr.. j. P. Morgan, Mr.. James J. Hill
and the other prominent persons who
were the promoters Of the proposed
merger Governor Van SAINT found him.
self in conflict with certain business in
terests in Minneapolis. Representatives
of these interests urged him to take no
immediate action against the Northern
Securities company. They suggested
that a fair opportunity" be given ''for
testing by experience whether good or
evil will come from that company"
Governor Van SAINT is firm believer in
enforcing the law against all persons
or corporations that do not respect the
law, The Minnesota statutes forbid
the consolidation of parallel or Compel
ing lines. The Northern Securities COM
pany was organized. it is alleged, in
New Jersey for the purpose of evading
the Minnesota law. Governor Van SAINT
believed it was his duty to prevent a
consolidation of railroads in violation
of the laws of his State. He invoked
the aid of the courts to defeat the mer-
ger, and has left nothing undone to pro-
tect the interests of the people of Min
nesota.
The big vote given Governor Van
SAINT indicates that the people of his
State appreciate his courage and his
efforts to protect them. For quarter
of century the laws of Minnesota
have prohibited the consolidation of
parallel and competing railroads with
the view of maintaining competition in
rates, and Governor Van SAINT and his
hackers want those laws respected and
obeyed,

WHY ABANDON THE PONY.
A Protest Against the Decision Of tbs
Hamilton College Faculty.

A Protest Against the Decision OF the
Hamilton College Faculty
In prohibiting the use of ponies by
the students of Hamilton College the
faculty of that institution may be said
to be going in for what we might call
"horseless education" which is at least
in keeping with the spirit Of the hour.
1t Is good that the Introduction has the
virture, for it has no, other. The
pony" has had long and honorable
career in the annals of academic in
situations both here and abroad, and
has indeed become so much of an In
stitution itself that the act Of the
Hamilton faculty savors strongly of
iconoclasm and a useless bit of iconoc-
lasm at that, since the order is pretty
certain to prove ineffective. We have
not the slightest idea hat the under
graduates of Hamilton College,. who
have hitherto been accustomed to using
these aids to a successful translation of
the classics, are in the secrecy of their
studies going to abandon them simply
because a number of reverend pro-
fessors say that they shall no longer be
used. Without desiring to incte the
young to rebellion in any way, we are
prepared to say that were we in their
place we should pay just as much heed
to the prohibition as pleased us, just as
offenders against unnecessary laws
always do. We should assert an in
herent right to make use of all scholar
1y aids to the betterment of our own
work within our reach, and should as
soon give over the well-thumbed
lexicon that had carried US through our
Homer in response to a demand from
our Greek professor as abandon the
pony upon which we had riden into an
intelligent comprehension of the
classics upon the dictum of the whole
faculty.

The French courts are wrestling with
the question, Is frog fish? The
facts of the case were as follows: In
June last two meh We're surprised by
private keepers fishing for frogs in pri-
syate waters at o'clock in the morn
ing, and they were subsequently sum
moned for poaching. In their defence
the men argued that frogs were not
fish, that consequently they were not
fishing, and could not in any way be
convicted according to the fishing laws.
The police court adopted this view of
the case and dismissed the summons
The owners of the private waters ap-
pealed, and the case was heard, an in
spector of rivers and forests arguing
that, although frogs were not fish,
strictly speaking, they were placed in
the same category by law. The Appeal
court declined to accept this view. and
confirmed the decision of tine police
court, but it appears that the prosecu-
ton was not satisfied with this judg-
ment and will ask the Court Of Cassa-
tion to declare that a frog is fish.
