FIYLAND'S GRIEVANCES.

A material gain for Finland, which will be
appreciated in that country and which will not
be void Of good for the Gar and his govern
ment is to be noted in the imperial order per-
hitting the continued use of the Finnish and
Swedish languages in the higher government
Offices This will abate one of Finland's griev-
ances and may be taken an earnest OF fur
Their restorations of that country's rights. That
such reservations are desirable for the welfare
of Finland and for the peace of the empire,
there can be little doubt; for, despite the con-
cessions nominaIly granted by the Car month
ago. some of Finland's grievances remain I'M
abated almost as they did in the days of Plehve
and Bobrikoff Prince Obolensky is a more
gentle and humane Dictator than was the de
tested Bobrikoff, but his autocracy is no less
complete.
The concessions granted last month amounted
to nothing more than an order for the repeal of
certain laws which had been imposed upon Fin
land relating to the summary dismissal of Of
icials, to the prohibition of legal action against
officials, TO the prohibition Of public meetings,
to the employment of Russian gendarmes in
Finland at an excessive cost to Finland, and TO
the necessity of getting the Governors consent
for the meeting of church synods. The Gar did
order the repeal of these laws, but they have
not yet been repealed, and are not to be until
some substitute measures have been prepared
and enacted in their place; and when that will
be done nobody knows
On the other hand, the Gar has quite ignored
the Finnish petition for the abolition of the au-
tocraey which was arbitrarily imposed upon
Finland, contrary to the Cars pledges. six
years ago, and for the abolition of the Dictator
ship practically constituted by transferring gov
ornamental power from the Finnish Senate 10
the Russian Governor General and not until
now has he ordered the repeal of the laws COM
polling the employment of Russians in the pub
lie service IF Finland and the use of the Rus
sian language instead of Finnish or Swedish in
all the important departments of government
In the matter of the National Assembly. or
Douma, also, the Gar seems to have offended
the Firms afresh 1t will be recalled that in his
decree he stated that special Instructions
would be issued by him concerning the election
of Finnish representatives to that BODY But for
Finland TO take any part in the assembly would
be TO transform her entire relationship TO Russia
and such participation cannot consfitutionaily
be effected without the assent and direction of
the Finnish Diet. For the Gar to order such
participation or to give special Instructions
concerning it seems to the Firms nothing less
than further and most extreme ignoring of
their constitution and an exaltation of the an
toeracy above the national rights of the grand
duchy. In these circumstances il is easy IN
understand why the Firms continue to manifest
strong disanection for the Russian rule which
has been forced upon them

the Poe amendment, would THE Republican
oppose IT on the ground that it was aimed pri-
marily at the negro and not at the vastly larger
white voting population which it would crowd
into and on the "aneestoriess caste! Inc mo-
tive of the promoters of any such disfrah-
chiseuent scheme in Massachusetts, Louisiana
or MARYLAND IS of little consequence. What
should be considered is its practical effect
Opponents of the grandfather clause need
not concern themselves whether its primary
purpose" Is TO dsfranchise the Negro, or
whether on the contrary, its primary pur-
pose" is to disfranchise the foreign born white
voter. If, in fact, it does disfranchise both
whites and blacks, and under certain condi-
tons. more whites than blacks. it can hardly
be held to be repugnant to the provisions of
the Fifteenth Amendment and there is little
advantage. practical or theoretical i'll conduct

MR. HUGHES DECLINES.

In declining the Republican nomination for
Mayor. Mr. Charles E. Hughes said to the COM
mittee yesterday:
1t is not sufficient to say that acceptance
of this nomination, coming to me unsought ana
despite an unequivocal statement of my posi-
ton. would not defect my course by hairs
BREADTH and that should remain, and that you
intend that should remain. entirely untraIn-
melled. The non-political character OF the m
yestigation and its freedom from bias. either OF
fear or favor not only must exist; they must be
recognized. 1 cannot permit them, by any actlon
Of mine, to become matters of debate
Mr.. Hughes is himself conscious that an ac-
ceptanee of the nomination would not have
swerved him from his course in the slightest
degree That is the conviction of those who
presented his name. of the members of the
convention who enthusiastically ratified the
choice and of his fellow citizens who in great
numbers have entreated him to head the anti
Tammany ticket. 1t was because we were per-
fectIy certain that his course in respect TO the
insurance investigation would remain unaffected
that we earnestly hoped he would consent TO be
the candidate.
Mr. Hughes justly says that the absolute inn
partially of the investigation must not merely
exist as q fact but must be recognized. We
do not believe it would have been honestly
doubted if he had accepted the nomination. The
talk about sinister motive the part of Re
publican leaders has reflected, not fears for the
inquiry, but fears for Mcclellan. The appre-
tensions of the Mayors supporters have been
clearly visible behind the mask Of solicitude as
to the further work Of the legislative committee
and its counsel. However, we frankly acknowl-
edge that Mr. Hughes was bound to decide the
question for himself, and that his Judgment
must be not merely accepted, but respected.
He has declined from a sense Of duty to permit
the use of his name in fight which we believe
would have been won without an effort on his
part and the constant foes of Tammany gov
eminent are still confronted with the task of
securing competent leader.
1t would be foolish to pretend that the stua-
ton is not difficult one but it is not impossi
bic TO find a candidate for whom all natural
opponents of Tammany could vote with salts
faction and who would deserve TO win.

UP TO Date.

The Democratic party in Massachusetts is a
party gifted with variegated ideas and with Il
| marked facility for trimming its programmes
TO suit the needs and whims of the moment.
In the good old days, eight years ago, when
George Fred Williams used to conduct c0nven-
tions with the aid of the police force and some
times in spite of its interference Massachusetts
platforms breathed radicalism which saw the
widest rawlings of Western Populism and went
them one better. Since the conservative fit
came on again, with Josiah Quincy and CASTOR
in the saddle, the platforms have taken on
disappointing air of sobriety. Safety, sanity
and moderation are now the watchwords of the
censors who edit the output of the committee
on resolutions; but beneath all these changes Of
style runs the same restless Inconsistency to old
ideas, the same pursuit of political novelties.
This years platform, adopted last Saturday,
is notable for two or three swift and mastery
changes of policy. One is the astounding dis
appearance of the "anti-imperialism" issue. For
several years no Democratic platform in Massa-
chusetts has been complete without a protest
against the excuses of 'militarism" and an ap-
peal for a return to republican ideals in gov
eminent" AIisrule in the Philippines has been
denounced in terms which stirred the blood even
of readers of Anti-Imperialist League literature.
and the league vote has been thereby solicited
for Democratic candidates. This year we note
no reference to the long paramount issue Of
Empire VS.. Republic" Did the censors nod !?
Has the Anti-Imperiaist League disbanded :?
Were Edward Atkinson and Erving Winslow in
Boston Saturday, or are they still dallying some
where on the Maine coast or in the mountains :?
A great cause was foully murdered by CASTOR
and Quincy, and no loyal voice lifted in
protest or lamentatiOn.
We regret to see another favorite Back Bay
issue dropped with equal lack of ceremony.
Governor Douglas was elected last year on the
understanding that within twelve months or so
Massachusetts would be enjoying the benefits
of reciprocal trade with Canada His Inaugural
ton was to mark the initiation of a special conf
mercial agreement with our northern neghbOr.
Two or three necessary preliminaries We're I'M
fortunately Overlooked-One of them the display
of some desire on Canada's part to negotiate q
convention. The Dominion in fact, stoo,. calmly
by while Governor Douglas was indicted into
office, and ever since that event has gone it's
way absolutely Indifferent to the plans made for
its welfare by Democratic statesmen in Massa-
chusetts. This year Canada is word unknown
to the Gaston-Quincy platform makers They
have taken revenge ON the Dominion by Danish
ing even its name from their thoughts and pur-
poses. Times change, but it shall never be said
that they change too rapidly for the alert and
versatile leaders of the Massachusetts, Demoe
racy.
