The CRISIS OF A PARTY. By Au
gustus Jacobson. Paper, Csc.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1893-03-19

The resultant happy relations between the
Firms and their Grand Duke-the title which
the Gar bears In Finland-produced on their
part exceptionally faithful and ardent feelings
OF gratitude toward that potentate.
Now. on the other hand. all such feelings OF
Loyalty and contentment have beon shattered
by q manifesto put forth by Alexander III.
which virtually extinguishes the traditional
autonomy OF Finland. Tho manifesto. indeed.
asserts that no Interference Is intended with
the rights OF the Finnish people. and that the
only desire Of the Russians Is to form a closer
union with the Grand Duchy. This is a con-
tradiction in terms. For Finland. II the
pledges given by successive Cars are bind
ing. can have no other union with Russia ex-
cept that which is conditioned on the per-
sonal union OF the crowns. on q common lead
ership OF tho army. and on a common diplo-
matte representation. Any other kind OF
union. unless It be authorized by the Diet Of
the Grand Duchy. Ia q patent act OF violence
and an indisputable wrong.
The Cars manifesto evidently aims at q
classification OF Finland. and tho steps al
ready taken to that end have had a disastrous
effect on the prosperity OF tho country. The
formerly stable monetary system Of Finland
has been upset by the forced introduction Of
the Russian paper rouble into circulation at a
value determined by the Russian Minister OF
Finance. Then. ngain. tho application OF arbi-
trary Russian Custom House methods has
disorganized the trnde and manufactures OF
Finland. The postal system has been turned
over to Russian officials. who make such IN
intolerable abuse OF the power Of In
tercepting letters that confidential COM
munications are at present only sent In
Finland through personal friends. The
members OF the Finnish Senate have been
compelled to resign in CONSEQUENCE Of an Of
fetal note from the Governor-Gcneral In
which tho Emperor's will was declared to be
supreme. and the Senate was directed to
subordinate itself to the orders Of the Russian
Government. What is meant. in fine. by uni
~fcation and the admission OF the Firms to the
great Russian family is the substitution Of
Russian caprice and corruption for the orderly
and upright Finnish administration and the
gradual subversion OF all traditional rights Of
person and property. n. W. II.

80 much for the Gar: now for the Czarlna.
There 10 no doubt that the marriage OF Alex
ander III. has turned out happier than that Of
any OF his predecessors. Whether a correct
appreciation OF her husbands character or an
innate lack OF self-assertlon has had the chief
share in the habitual self efracement OF the
daughter OF Christian TX. may be an open
question. AS a matter OF fact. Maria Feo-
dorovna has always shown herself satisfied
with her position as wife OF the Gear. and. in
this way. has laid the foundation for the hap
pinsss Of her household and Of her married
life: 1t 10 for this reason. too. that she has be-
come popular In Russia. The author OF this

pressed the feeling in mems minds. and. by
Implication. the future course OF action. Lib
sral ideas had been powerless to avert crime
and confusion. consequently the alternative
was absolutlsm. Modern ideas were held re-
sponsible for the nlhilistic corruption OF tho
rising generation: tho deduction was that the
orthodox" Church-the Byzantine Patriarchal
Church-was the only salvation for society.
The objection that q systematic war against
modern ideas would tend to the same disas-
trous results as had been experienced under
Nicholas was met by the most effective cry
OF modern times-Nationalism. Nationalism

ton OF every western European element-had
not been tried as a solution Of the social and
political problems under either Alexander IL
or Nicholas. 1t was hoped that this talisman.

spcnded to the modes OF thought OF the young

Mrs NJ. J. Daily Sues For Divorce, Ali
 mony and the Custody of Minor
 Children-She Also Sues to Recover
 ss,5OO.
 The story of NJ. J. Daily and his troubles with his wife took a sensational turn to- day when Deputy Sheriff Peck of New Haven came to Waterbury. Since Mrs Daly was released from the private insane retreat in Montreal she has been living with relatives in Thomaston and Meriden. To-day Sheriff Peck filed in the town clerks office an attachment for SIG, 900 on the property of NJ. J. Daly, in favor of his wife Julia. Another attachment was also filed for g, 800. The plaintiff claims that when she was married to M. J. Daly in 1881 she had in the Waterbury National bank nearly S2, 900. This amount has increased. having never been drawn upon. She alleges that Daily took the book and has refused to give it up. Another paper was also filed asking for divorce on the grounds of intolerahle cruelty. The plaintiff asks for the custody of four minor children and for alimony. The cases are returnable before the superior court in New Haven on the first Tuesday in February

 urss For 1898.
 NEW YORK, Dec. So.-Iu its issue today Bradstreet's has this to say about the rec ord of failures for the year that closes to- morrow:
 What will doubtless be known as the panic year 1898" has brought with 1t, as was to be expected, the largest number of business failures ever recorded in the Unit ed States since records of the same have been kept, the total as reported to Brad streets amounting to Is, ,560, in which are included only commercial, industrial and financial business failures in which esti- mated actual assets are smaller than re ported liabilities.
 For this reason about 240 banks and banking institutions which have been forced to suspend since May last, owing to restricted credits, hoarding of funds and panic, because they were not able promptly toliquidate their total indebtedness, are not included among institutions reported fail ed, their aggregate liabilities amounting to about s65, ,ooO, 900 in round numbers, as contrasted with corresponding assets of about $lo0, ,ooO, 900.
 But more than S7o remaining banks and banking institutions out of more than 600 reported suspended during the past F months are included in the statistics of business failures for 1898

Matters Acted Upon at Last Nights
 Meeting.

 A proposition was received from Daniel Woodward to sell the homestead owned by his wife and himself, at the upper end of the new reservoir, for $2, 500, if not taken before October l, 1894, or for S2, 700 if taken by April l, 1894. In the opinicn of the committee the price asked for the property was too high and it was voted to offer Mir Woodward the sum of $2, 250, he to retain possession until October 1.
 There were present representatives of the following bridge building companies. for the purpose of showing plans for four bridges for the use of the new pipe line: Wrought Iron Bridge company ot New York, Berlin Iron Bridge company of East Berlin. The board went into executive session and looked over the plans pre- sented and then called in the two repre- sentatives, one at a time, who explained each his own plans. The Wrought Iron Bridge company stated that if the com mittee wished to use their plans and give the contract to another company that they could have them for S25. Mir Cairns. in a letter written to the committee, said that the plans of the Wrought Iron Bridge company were the better of the two and advised accepting them. The committed did not adopt either plan, thinking it best to wait until Mir Cairns returns and confer on the subject.
 The following vote was passed:
 "Voted, that the city engineer be in structed to prepare plans and specified. tions and advertise for bids for the con. struction of the four pipe line bridges ac. cording to such plaus and specifications as were presented by the two different parties. Such proposals to be submitted received under seal, and opened at thu meeting of the committee to be held on tn, 12th day of January, 1894. the committed tc reserve the right to reject any and al bids"

 National Secretary Daniel Colwell of the Knights of Columbus said last night in re gard to the trouble in the order:
 'I do not want to get into any contro- versy with anybody in this matter. There are certain members of the organization that have found fault right along While they talk about the sovereign officers run ming the order the converse is true. Since We adopted the graded assessments in 1891, the organization has constantly in creased in membership. We now have a mortuary fund of S, 900 invested in the Hartford Trust company.

 NAuoATucK, Dec. S0.-The plans drawn by Architect Smith of Waterbury one year since, by request of the selectmen and for mer board of health. would give the town building that for the next ten years could be used for hospital to good advantage. as well us furnishing apartments adapted for contagious Assesses. It is estimated that the building would cost above the foundation $2,6O0. With very small effort on the part of some of our leading ladies. or the Kings Daughters society. it could be furnished without a dollars ex- pense to the town, and a fund also pro vided towards its maintainance.
