M analogy Is needed for broaching an old sub

have made many times before. Want and suffer-
ing are an old story. But so, too, are sympathy
and generous giving. Often as we have asked
aid for The Tribune Frcsh-Air Fund, the re-
snonse has never been lacking. Nor do we rear
that at the opening Of this. the Funds nine

this year be said that their own discomfort makes
men less mindful of the sufferings OF others.
The Tribune Frcsh-Air Fund will, for It's nine

same lines as for years past The Rev. willard

THE NEWFOUNDLAND LOAN

Newfoundland appears at last 10 have secured
n loan. There have been many conflicting ru-
mors about il, and many fruitlcss attempts 10
borrow money Even now Sir William White
WAYS statements are ambiguous and shifty. But
Mr.. Bonds announcement may doubtless be ne
ccntcd rs true A Montreal London loan of
so75OOOO has been contracted. AT 4 per cent.
This will relieve the colony and It's Government
from Immediate embarrassment. and indeed save
II from immediate ruin. 1t comes none too soon.
A few weeks. or perhaps days, more. and 1t
would have been too late The halfyearly in
tcrcst on the bonded debt falls due This month;
and thc treasury is empty Without a loan the
colony would be dcfaulter. That in Itself
would be a bad thing. But worse would quickly
follow Immediately upon such default the I'm
pcrial Government would take away the island $
Constitution and reduce it To the rank Of IA Crown
colony to be governed by British agent for the
benefit Of the bondhodcrs. 1t was with the fear
Of such catastrophe before them that Sir Will
lam Whteway and Mr.. Bond made their ex-
traordnaIy efforts for n loan They have sue
ccedcd, and the colony will have breathing space
until next fall The debtcoupons will be cashed.
The Savings Bank will be protected, and the
various minor obligations falling due this sum
mcr will be promptly met.
What will be done six months hence, when an
other haf-ycar's interest IS due. and what perma-
ncnt adjustment OF the ancient colony's affairs
will be effected, are another matter. There Is

would not. consent to union. SO that may be
dismissed as out Of the question. Then England
was looked TO for aid, but In vain. The Imperial
Government would not even assist Newfound-
land in getting a loan by lndorsing Its bonds.
There are those who think the Rosebery Govern

THE NORTH RIVER BRIDGE.

few months ago certain speculative gentle
mon interested in n scheme for a bridge across
the North River from this city to Wcehawkcn
,yore clomorous for a cantileycr bridge. with at
least one huge pier in midstrcam That, they
declared was the only practicable form. sus-
pension bridge with "A clear span from shore to
shore could not be built, anyway. II was physi-
cal impossibility. No engineer could construct
such a bridge that would support It's own weight.
And II we could so change the laws Of the force
OF grayItation and OF the strength Of metals as
to permit the construction of such bridge the
cost Of 1t would be prohibitive. SO they declared
they would not take time even 10 consider pro-
posals for n suspension bridge III must De n
cantilever or none at all
II will be remembered that The Tribune vigor-
ously dlsscnted from the judgment Of these gen
temen, and contended that suspension bridge
was entirely practicable, from both an engineer
ing and financial point Of view and that, more
over. IL would be better 10 have no bridge at all
than 10 obstrrct the channel OF the North River
with n big central pier. Secretary Lamont also
took this latter view Of the subject, and declared
he would give his official sanction to no bridge
that had not a clear span from shore to shore.
His emphatic words mpclled the promoters Of
the scheme TO reconsider their rather arrogant
ground. and to express willingness at least
to look at plans and specifications for something
other than cantiever bridge.
The result has, we think, justified our contcn-
ton of last fall that suspension bridge could be
built that would be safe and durable and would
pay for it's construction. Practical engineers
take that view of 1t. In September last 1t was
estimated that Q suspension bridge could Be

animosity against Germany. Emperor William
