WOMEN IN FINLAND.

r. USSIA goes from the extreme of bureau
N cratic administration to the wilderness of
extreme radicalism
After the disturbance in the Cars dominions
two years ago, the Emperor permitted Finland,
a country that, except in its government, is in
dependent to frame a constitution with prom
Use of a new and better political system.
The old Finnish parliament consisted of four
chambers, representing respectively the mobiles,
clergy, town residents and the peasants. This is
replaced by single diet, or parliament.
The result of the election of members to the
new body has been a victory for the radicals
and the progressive young Films. AS the result
of universal and direct suffrage the Socialists
turn up with very large following. The women,
too, showed remarkable interest in the election.
Nineteen of that sex were chosen to the National
Assembly. Eighty women were candidates for
seats.
Finland is the first of the European countries
10 make women eligible to a national parliament
The effect women members of a national
body will be watched with much interest, just as
it would be il we had large number of women
in our own national congress. In fact, in its treat
ment of women, Finland has always ranked very
high. The country has an excellent educational
system for both boys and girls, the girls have the
right of admission to all the technical schools,
and the university is open to them on equal foot
ing with boys

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

THE panic mongers are not gaining much
l. headway. Their noisy attempts TO create
dstrust and suspicion Of the government have
not made the impression they desired simply be-
cause they have little foundation upon which to
base their wailings
They may cry out that the government is hos
tile to the railroad interests and endeavor to up
set timid investors but the latter should be more
afraid of the financial captains who control the
roads than they need be of the government
For instance, there was howl that the great
staple crops of the country would be short this
year Yet the government crop report comes
along indicating production OF winter wheat Of
twenty million bushels more than was raised last
year The directors of the steel trust are inform
ing their friends that four per cent dividend
will be established in July
Although the New York central Railroad has
been under extraordinary expenditures the sys-
tenn shows nearly seven per cent. earned on the
stock, according TO the report that has just been
issued And the outlook for the future is not
bad The steel trust has disposed of $1,000 tons
Of steel rails for delivery in the first quarter Of
next year at S2S a ton.
The Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company
proposes TO spend ten millions in Improvements,
and when the money market becomes easier
other railroads will devote large sums to better
ments. Altogether the outlook for the future
from business point OF view is not bad

srEAD's CRITICISM OF CHURCHES.

VAT LILLIAN Il. STEAD, the London editor,
w who scored the Methodists at a recent
meeting in New York and with his long talk
gave them an exhibition of bad manners, is not
permitted by the denominationalists to so unre-
buked. Mr. Stead in his remarks last week, de-
clared that he had been unable to find the Church
OF Christ in America or anything that stood for
it. and that its address did not appear in the tee-
phone book In what direction Mr.. Stead looked
or how hard he conducted his search, is not APP
parent
There has been movement for the Federation
of Protestant Churches, now unhappiy divided,
and a great federated council is to be formed TO
work in harmony This council will represent
seventeen millions of communicates The
churches have many failings but they arc more
active than ever, and now more than at any time
in the history Of the country, are they interested
in reform and vital questions of the day. The
institutional churches in the larger cities are ac-
complishing wonders in good works. The
churches realize their responsibilities and are try
ing their best to solve them The blare of their
trumpets may not be as noisy all the time as the
declamations Of Mr. Stead The London editor
excepted the Roman Catholic Church from his
sweeping denunciations, perhaps because the
members of that faith have so long been engaged
in works OF charity and mercy, and such labors
are accepted as matter of course. But OF the
Protestant, the Hebrew and all other faiths there
is certainly more coneern over good works than
ever and pessimstic views of even such high
critic are unwarranted.

HEARST AND BRYAN.

a CCORDlNG to the Interpretation placed by
1 the politicians upon the address delivered
by William r. Hearst at the Jefferson dinner in
New York on Saturday night, the defeated as
pirant for governor has formally entered the race
for tie Democratic nomination for President next
year.
AS the Hon. William Jennings Bryan already
is in the field, it will be battle royal between
the two, with the chances in favor of Colonel
Bryan. Independence Leagues are to be formed
throughout the country to be used by the Hearst
advocates to further his candidacy
Hearst has the prestige OF defeat but so has
Bryan The two are even on that score. But
Hearst in addition was the low man on the
Democratic State ticket at the last election in
New York State, and there are many who believe
that had any other Democrat been the candidate
of the party, he would have been elected
Hearst practically controls the Democratic
machine of New York State, and he will go to
the next convention with formidable array Of
delegates. 1t is evident that Hearst regards
Bryan his only rival for the nomination He
selects time to make trip West just as Col
one Bryan approaches New York to deliver an
address
Nllh lhS Dd''lc pelWccH lllc TWO IdulCdls thclc
ought to be chance for a so-called conservative
Democrat to make showing among the dele
gates, and that is where Judge Gray would come
in were he to permit or encourage the use of his
name seriously in connection with the high
honor.
In battle between Bryan and Hearst, Bryan
would undoubtedly have a larger following
throughout the South where Hearst as a ma
tional leader is not gravey considered. The In
dependence League tail which it is sought to
make the kite, is not the sort of political lining
up that is pleasing TO the rock-ribbed Democrats
of the Southern States.

The Man Behind.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Lest we forget will you kindly print
the following tribute 20 some dear
friends OF mine, which read the other
day in New York newspaper:
Amid the grcans ana cgccrauons that
70 up daily IN regard to the service IA
our restaurants. tho manaers of our
walters and the general abomination
of our social habits and customs, let
me lift my voice I'm praise OF at least
American type and institution. Let me
speak his name respectfully because
he comports himself Invariably with
quiet dignity Let me spe3k his name
afectionatcly, for he IS The friend OF
ones bosom, and on all deserving man
kind he bestows his unobtrusive SYM
pathy. Let me speak MS name re-
verently, for in many ways he is in
scrutahle. Let me speak his name
proudly for he IS distinctively Amer
lean. Sir, l name the barkeepl
DO not, pray, confuse him with those
foreign atrocities i'm soiled linen and
hands, who pose behind bars and I'M
pose upon us all. My eulogy is Of that
quiet. ef-possessed nan, whose ng-
ure appears 1.-the and erect and clad n
spotlega white back of The polished
mahogany His face in repose is all
most grave, but it lights with "A grac-
ious smile upon occasions. His Whats
yours?" is asked I'm a tone OF polite
solicitude hut with no suggestion Of
serwlty. When he is busy attending
to the wants to his patrons he works
with left hands and swift intelligence.
IL fr. D.,
when thirsty humanity pants TO be as
suaged. In his ,eisure moments, how
ever he is guide, philosopher and
friend,
Mayhap you are heavy hearted when
you stroll into the shrine over whicn
he presides, and hn1 yourself alone
with him. Being a ;aucont person,
You shrink from barring the sorrows IN
your bosom, yet, bring human, you
crave sympathy The barkeep looks
up; YOU give your order; he observes
the tone of melancholy IN your voice;
his eyes met yours, aad IN that swift
second this wonderful mar has read
your heart and soul. Yol are not there
long. but long enough to engage IN
casual conversation. He Is a stranger
to YOU according TO the worlds conven-
tions; he seeks to be nothing more; his
remarks are general though pemeated
with deep wisdom. Il is not until you
have left his presence that you begin
to realize the strength and comfort you
/ have received.
In what other walk Of life can such
as he be found? In what other land
exists calling which ministers so in
/ timately 20 the physical needs, and ye;

Specialization Of Teachers.


American Medicine
The specialization of teachers and in
vestigators is coming about slowly IN
this country and Europe. A teache.
is IN honor bound TO teach what has
b2en discovered and must perhaps treat
new things with too scant courtesy
until they have been generally accept
ed. The ieauher must be behind IN 2
times for he is follower and not a
leader. When teachers had no time
to take no advance work, conservatism
ruled, and now ideas required twenty
years to get hearing. This has been
the blot uPon al schools lay as we'll
