The wear opens goomily In Newfoundland.
Three weeks ago Il financial and coinincrclal
crisis came upon the colony. none The less SUD

50 stunned that they did not ut once realize
its full extent. Had they done so, panic ami
universal chaos would have prevailed. Day 10y
dav they became Injured tO their troubles. AMI
day bv day new troubles were developed. Al
the present time affairs are in just about the
worst possible plight, which fact affords GER
tain grim consolation through III" knowledge
that nothing worse can happen. Both the banks
Of the colony are closed and insolvent. Every
factory or other laboremployng concern is
closed Even the poStofcc has had 10 suspend

money In circulation, nor any on hand except
the notes Of the two broken banks ana they are
worthless: the banks themselves will not accept

Government has been able To do nothing hut 10

the only resort left to the people Is in IN appeal
10 the Crown TO send over Il commission whch

utter ruin.
The causes of this disaster are perfectly evil

spring the fishermen would get their boats and
other outfits from the merchants on credit,

fall the merchants would take the fish, pay

J1ULF.sS AND IMPUDENT

one Of the useful functions Of the Grand Jury
is TO make prcscltmcnts calling public attention
to abuses and summoning public officials TO do
their duty. A service Of this kind was rendered
Yesterday when the Grand Jury condemned the
surface railroad companies for clearing their
Trucks of snow in such manner as TO obstruct
the streets. and called on the proper authorities
TO abatc the nuisance. This improper and I'M
lawful practice is so thoroughly established that
many citizens probably suppose it 10 be II neces-
sary evil In reality 1t is nothing OF the sort.
Ii is IN impudent invasion Of public and private
rights deliberately and methodically instituted
by the executive heads Of rich corporations To
save money and trouble at the expense Of every
body else Whether or not they fully compre-
bend the fact. they steal from all who use the
streets. and especially from occupants of houses
along their routes. things Of which the posses
sion Is valuable and the loss grievOus.

Of New-York have been In Il disgraceful and de-
plorable condition. The utter ineficiency OF the

The Tammany scheme OF having real estate

that If the election had been honest and the
count fair his majority would have been con
siderably larger. Nevertheless. the Democrats
have formed conspiracy TO keep him ont OF

IN VIEW of the opposition that
mas arisen to the allowance of
$4,000 for Kaiulani it becomes a
matter for serious consideration,
whether it would not be good po-
Icy for the Legislature to insert a
clause making the payment of
the sum named conditional to
the young lady's taking the oath
of allegiance to the Republic. This
condition could not be regarded as
an imposition. Liliuokalani has
sworn allegiance and certainly the
woman who was named as her sue
cessor ought not to object to follow
ing a good example.
