A RAILROAD FAILURE.

An analysis of the circumstances attend
ing the collapse of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad shows that the amount OF the
outstanding bonds and stocks was greatly
in excess of the value of the property and
that at the last moment desperate ef-
fort was made to avert bankruptcy by in
creasing the burdens that had wrecked
the road. It is the old story of selling
bonds too easily in Europe, of watering
the stock, of carrying an impossible inter
est account and of forcing dividends.
This splendid property has been placed in
the hands of receiver appointed by
Federal court and is added to the long list
of roads whose direction has passed into
the hands of the Government.

THE LEGISLATURE.

So far as the Government as
yet sees things, the two houses of
the Legislature will be accommo-
dated at the regular session as
they were at the special. Although
the Ministers recognize that the
public get a poor show to see the
Senate in session, owing to its
cramped assembly room in the
Foreign Department, yet they fear
that the inconvenience of having
the houses sit in separate build
ings, with a wide space between,
would be too formidable to ex-
perience. While the old legisla-
tive hall in the Judiciary building
is spacious place, and shift
might be made to get the larger
courtroom upstairs for one of the
branches, that building is Sc. re-
mote from the executive depart
ments that its occupancy by
either the Senate or House of
Representatives or both would
also be highly inconveni-
ent. Yet there are some
people who think that q better
shift than the present ought to be
feasible, when in old times the
Legislative, Executive and Judi
cial divisions of the Government
all found accommodation in Alii-
olani Hale, the present Judiciary
building, even before the Kapuaiwa
building was erected with its ac-
commodation for the Government
Survey. the Public Works, Roads
and Bridges and Water Works
bureaus. The Legislature ought
to consider the question of its
own better accommodation, as
modern representative institutions
contemplate the assembling Of
Legislative bodies with a reason
able degree of publicity. Besides.
members of one body would find
it interesting and profitable to oc-
casionally take look in upon the
deliberations of the other body.

OBSERVATIONS.

While the sturdy good qualities
Of the Beers is universally recog-
nized, there is no doubt that
the rulers of that people
have given great cause of
grievance to the foreigners who
are a-vefopfug the resources of
the country, as we'll as paying the
greater parts of its public expenses.
The Beers in other parts of South
Africa have recognized the super
ior fitness of the foreigners for
conducting public affairs, allowing
them first place in that regard
even when being in a minority.
