FUTURE OF FINLAND
REACTIONARIES APPEAR TO
HAVE UPPER HAND.

Special Cahlegram to The Star
ST. PETERSBURG, March 2S.-A dis
tingushed journalist has asked the aues
ton: will Finland retain its much-loved
and long-menaced autonomy-will it re-
main the sole home of culture and prog
ress in the dominions of the car. or will
it be reduced to the undistinguished level
of a Russian province?
The struggle has just begun. The Fin
nish landtdag (parliaipenp which met
again February TO- has, indeed. had a
situation to face more difficult more
fraught with danger to the constitution
and the independence of the grand duchy
than it was even in those troublesome
days when Gen. Bcbrikoff ruled the coun-
try with his rod Of iron.
Sinister Appointment.
1t was not to be expected that the vic
torious Russian reaction would rest salts
fed with it's achievements in Russia
proper or that it would tolerate the ex-
istence OF a practically independent de-
tendency more than half socialist more
than half hostile close to it's own capt.
tai For long time the reactiOnary and
conservative press. headed by the Novoe
Vremya. have been conducting a relent
less campaign against Finland and in this
they have undoubtedly had support from
exalted quarters. But it is only quite
lately that the inner situation in Russia
has become SO settled that it has been
deemed Opportune TO adopt a policy of
action.
The first intimation of new course in
Finland was the nomination of Gen. Zein
as chief of staff OF the governor general.
AS Gen. Zein served in the same capacity
unde: Gen. Bobrikoff his appointment was
viewed with great apprehension in Fin
land as heralding other and more i'm
portant changes in tho personnel of the
government. These misgivings have proved
to be only too well founded The late Gov
ernor General Gerard was throughout a
stanch champion of Finland'S cause. but

In the Parks.

1t is apparent that the commercial pos
sibilities Of the parks are no longer to be
neglected, and in time the city may OBJ
tain from them revenue sufficient to
pay for the bookkeeping made necessary
by the leasing Of privileges therein. A
soda water fountain is to be erected in
front OF City Hall on a royalty agree
ment under which the proceeds are to
be divided between the municipal treas
ury and the promoters of the enterprise.
When the desirability of erecting soda
water fountains in the parks was sug-
gested two or three years ago the pro-
moters OF the scheme did not intend to
pay for the space occupied, but explained
that their plan was philanthropic and
humanitarian. They had observed the
torture OF the thirsting thousands in the
public Fairgrounds and desired merely
to provide opportunity for the relief of
suffering Unhappy mothers, parched
children and water craving men were ex-
pected to rise up and call down blessings
on the heads of those who instituted this
great reform. The city was urged to
allow the fountains to be built on the
theory that it should be glad to partici-
pate in so benevolent transaction.
Now it appears that the privilege is
worth paying for. So, it may be added,
are other park privileges, and the time
may not be far distant when 1he waste
fulness Of maintaining mere oben spaces
will obtain general recognition. Then
we shall see many tradesmen estab-
lished In the parks, and the reproach Of
green lawns, shaded walks and beautiful
trees will be removed forever from the
ts.syn
