The discrimination of Finland goes on
remorselessly. The latest development
in the process is an imperial order which
reached the Governor General a few days
ago, bidding him consider the situation
ana determine, between now and next
June, whether there is any particular rea-
son for summoning the Ordinary Diet of
the country in 1904. Gen Bobrikoff, with
out doubt, will be able to make up his
mind on this point without much diff
Guilty and will within the allotted period
For fear he should misunderstood the mo-
tive of the order, he is instructed to guide
himself by the principle that it would
be ineXpedient to call any meeting of the
Diet so long as there are any remaining
signs of excitement in the public mind
In other words when the Finlanders no
longer have any objections to utter
against Russian rule they may be per-

opinion. Meanwhile, those Firms who re-

History of the Three Balls.
GFrom THE Signs of Old London"
December st. Nicholas.l

Lombard street, noted in history as the
great London street for bankers, derived
its name from the Longobards, a race of
rich bankers who settled there in the
reign of Edward II, and whose badge, the
three golden balls, taken RON the lower
part of the arms of the Dukes of Medici,
continues to this day to be the sign OF
pawnbrokers-mon The balls
on the rich crest of the Medici were blue
and only during the last half-century
have they, the pawnbrokers' signs, been
gilded The position of the balls is pop
ularly believed to indicate that there are
two chances to one that what is brought
there will not be redeemed

Winona, Mimi, April THE rresi.
dent, at the request of Congressman
Tawney, made ten-minute stop at
Winona which was not on the original
program. He devoted his time TO
making a short address from the rear
platform of his car. He spoke words
of praise for the valor of the soldiers
in the civil war and concluded by
urging parents to teach their children
to do and not to dodge. Thus they
would learn true manhood and wom-
anhood. At the conclusion OF his
remarks the train left for st. Paul.
The strenuous day the people of Mil
waulkee provided for the president
proved to be very firing on him and
he was thoroughly played out when he
reached his car shortly after midnight.
The president thoroughly appreciated
the hospitality of the people of Mil
waukee, but it will be impossible for
him to continue such rve-wrecling
programs and he is afraid that if this
is kept up he will not be able to COM
plete his itinerary. He hopes that the
committee having charge of his enter
tainment at the places he is yet to visit
will not crowd events quite so closely
