Ashland Tidiuif: "Among the

yesterday was Prof H W Evernian,
the government llsli expert, who was
det.iiled to make the trip to Crater
i.ake to nmko an investigation of the
witters of the lake and ascertain IT
sullleicnt food exists there for the
maintenance of ll-h life, und to make
other examination in thu Crater aud
Klumuth lake sections. Prof Evei

tion of thu water of Crater Lake by
him reveal the fact that t he condi
tions uro altogether favorable for the
maintenance of llsh life ill the waters
of the lake, the tests made showing
plenty ol food In the waters. It is
understood that Prof Everman will
recommend to his department that
the government mako provision for
stocking the lake liberally with fish.
"Il is not known that fish life does
not exist In thu lake now, absolutely,
although there are no records showing
that any fish have ever been caught
or seen in the lake. Seven or eight
years ago Mr W G Steel transplanted
two or three dozen young trout from
the stream of that section into the
waters of Cruter Lake. While they
have never been seen since, Mr Steel
thinks that they may slil! be alive aud

0I1JECT LES.SO.N.
Wo tnke Hie followinR editorial
lead r from tho Oren. .State Jour
nal, owned by Hon JI 11 Kmca:d,
republican secretary of state:
While the Republican press of
the United States and a good many
campaign orators are pointing to
Mexico as an "object lesBon" to
prove the unstable condition that
exists in a lree country the Mex
ican press is also drawing a picture
of condition in the United States
comparing them with affuirs in
Mexico, that furnishes rather inter
eating reading during these unset
tied times. We copy the following
editorial which appeared recently
in the Mexican Financier, a lead
ing Journal of the city of Mexico,
which throws some light upon tho
prosperity of a silver country:
"The ignorance of some of the
editors ot the United States con
cerning the affairs of Mexico is ap
palling. They believe they have
advanced the cause of gold mono
metal ism which they advocate by
pointing to Mexico as an example
which should not be followed, and
generally conclude their articles
with "Unfortunate Mexico," etc.
Very well; if Mexico is unfortunate
what appellation are we now t; ap
ply to the actual affairs in the
United States, from the industrial,
commercial and financial point of
view? Has business improved
since the Sherman law was re
pealed? It seems not. The capi
talists of that country, after three
years of practically gold monomet
alism, which has give satisfaction
to no one with the exception of the
New York and English bankers,
Beem to be shy about investing
their money there, and they are
coming to Mexico, which is on a
silver basis, to help us in the de
velopment of our immense resour
ces. "The most reliable of the weekly
papers of that country, devoted the
greater part of their columns to
commercial affairs, draw a sorrow
ful picture of the actual condition
of business, and no immediate
prospect of improvement until the
the presidential election nns ueen
decided and a well-defined program
concerning the tariff aud monetary
eyBtcm has been formulated by the
leaders of the successful party.
"Let us now compare this state of
affairs with those of Mexico. Here
we have no monetary system or
tariff to settle every four yean,
which more or less is tho cause of
the unsettled condition of affairs.
Gen Diaz will be president for an
other four years, with tne unani
mous consent of the nation, as the
people of all political parties are
anxious that the existing tranquill
ity should coutinue, that the coun
try may grow richer aud stronger
in order to be able to withstand the
weakening results of political cam
paigns and changes ot administra
tions. Should such occasions arise
we do not hesitate in asserting that
the struggle in the last two years
concerning the tariff and circula
ting medium in the United States
has been the cause of losses ten
times greater than those that Mex
ico has sustained by all its revolu
tions. The losses sustained by the
Unitnl Ssates during the brief
priod above mentioned are calcu
lated to be no less than $2,000'000,
000, an amount large enough to
cover the expense of a war or
enough to buy magnificent armor
ed fleet. Every business man in
the United States is well aware
that the continued agitation of the
money question, and the threats of
tariff reformers, are fatal to tho
prosperity of the country . There
fore, it is not strange that influen
tial newspapers such as the New
York Journal of commerce, and
men who have large interest like Mr
Roberts, president of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, and Mr Carnegie
the millionaire iron monger, are
fearful of a radical change in the
tariff. "We who live in 'Unfortu
nate Mexico" are enjoying an in
dustrial tranquility, the nationol
industries are augmenting the
buildings are being built in this
capital, the banks are declaring
large dividends to the stockholders,
we have no unsettled questions nor
problems to Bolve, as far as com
mercial and financial affairs are
concerned, and generally this re
public, under a wise administration
presents an entirely difterent pic
ture to that of the richest nation
on earth and worst governed.
Astoria News: "Bankers in Se
attlo have arrayed themselves
against the people by refusing to
cash city warrants, ostensibly on
account of the silver agitation, but
really to coerce the public to sup
port the gold standard. The gold
bugs are resorting to bulldozing
schemes of all kinds in their des
perate endeavors to carry tho presi
dential election."
