THE UNIQUE COMMISSION.

The China Mail of last night describes the Light Dues Commission as a "remark- able document," If genuine, about which it suggests a doubt. We are sorry, to say that there can be no doubt. It was really issued as printed In the Gasele under the hand of the Governor and the Seal of the Colony, and is an official document and not & ponderous joke.

We fully agree, only we sum it up in the one word we used last night. It is foolish" and should have
