yFUFOr-VDLAVD N COMMISSION.

Government nv commission or by contract IS
being put to a practical test IN Great Briialns
most ancient colony. The financial and social
distrpsses Of Newfoundland have been notorious
for wears Again and again there has seemed
70 be imminent danger Of tho islands being re-
drced to the humlliailng rank OF Crown col
ony as the only resort 10 save 4 from bank
runtcy and repud,atlon. One other way has
been found. however and entered upon. with
what result It IA too carly TO predict with any
degree OF confidence. although N present there
appears on the face OF It TO be good ground for
hone that the experiment will prove successful.
In brief the bulk Of the public property and
Industry OF the island and n large share OF the
functions OF Government have been turned over
under contract 10 a private operator. An
nouncement OF this bargain has already been
made. The details OF II are now at hand, and
are worthy Of some further consideration. Mr..
Reid. the contractor who built the Ncwfound
land railroads, IA 10 receive in fee from the
colony its railroads tclcgraphs. docks and
large share OF IT'S public lands. In all worth
about Sl5OOO.OO0, and representing perhaps
half OF the assets purchased by the public debt
OF the colony For these he Is 10 pay 81 100000
in cash He is also 10 develop the coal lands
OF the interior OF the island and pay the Gov
eminent n royalty OF 10 cents a ton on all coal
mined; 10 operate at his own risk and cost all
the railroads. telegraphs. docks. etc, and 10 eX-
tend them as need may be; 70 establish and
maintain a fleet OF eight first class coasting
steamers, and to DO various other things for tho
advancement OF the public prosperity.
On the face Of e. Mr.. Reid has made a good
bargain for himself 1t may turn ont to be n
GOOD one FOR tho colony too lie IS TO raise not
less than 10000 tons Of coal n year but VIII
probably raise many times ms much. Nova
Scotia gets a revenue Of $4,000 year from
It's mineral royalties, and Newfoundland ought
in few years 70 be getting much. The rail-
roads are now run ut a loss 10 the colony OF nj
least 5000 900 a year and that burden will have
TO be assumed by Mr.. Reid, rs will also the
deficit In the telegraph department. In ALL 1t
IS reckoned that the cash gain to the colony In
receIpts and In saving Of expenditures will
amount 10 between 100000 and S6Oo0OO
wear This will relieve the Government from
much embarra ssment. and may prove TO be
good thing for all concerned.
