" Considered .s- a financial enterprise, IK 11 .trich ester canal h.iifK'.is far, failed .to ronllzoj- i)u' hop; of ll,-irojietors ' ; aaiX.ot Xha community which supported ' It to completion. In fact, to'juig9 from -'ffio'Veporta' coutaUved Ui. recent Issues ot '.',. tha, London and provincial press., Us condition Is fast approaching a crisis. This Is not duo to the lack ot an increase In t raffle. For the first halt year In 1895 the weight of merchandise paying toils In seagoing craft amounted to 130,000 tons, as against 21,000 tons In the same period last year. In the Bame way the tonnage transported by canal was 119,000 tons as against 103,000 tons, the total traffic for the concern for the half year being 600,000 tons against 309, 000 tons, an Increase of 231,000 tons, or over 60 per cent. The receipts were C2,610, an Increase of fl9,l(9 in the re ceipts, though It is to be noted that pas sengers must necessarily form only an inconsiderable source of revenue under any circumstances. It must further be considered that the favorable compari son In regard to tho volume of traffic seeking the canal Is due In a large meas ure to the fact that the comparison Is made with the period when the great work was Just opened' to traffic. The situation, Is, however, mucin more serious than these 'figures would on their face Indicate. The receipts Just given are gross. The net results show another face. Expenditures increased for the halt . year by 19.000, due to maintenance and other Items 'Which in 1894 were charged to capltati account, but which now have to be provided for from earnings. The outcome is net earnings form onlyn,028, as compared with 8,(B3 last year. The opinion of the company's managers is tlmt the Increase In traffic will be steady and continuous, and they point to the fact that the canal, as shown by the In crease In tonnage and earnings, has acquired a hold upon tho business ot the districts It was Intended to servo. The old Bridgewater canal which was ac quired by the 'Manchester Ship Canal or ganization, however, shown a decrease or 11,600, which is attributed to tho effects of a continued frost, though the conclu sion would not unnaturally be that traf fic diverted from this ancient undertaking accounts for tho seeming gain In the ship canal's revenues. As It Is, the whole net revenue of the company (or the half year Is 26,000, while the interest on mortgage debentures, amounting to :. 1410,000, has to be met from the surplus - account. A STRANGE PHENOMENON. Our state news of today contained tho following Item from tho Prlnevlllo Ro- vlew of Thursday, the Sth Inst: "Either the tun, the moon or the earth had a wabble- on the night of the eclipse. The tltal eclipse of tho moon was plain ly visible at this place Tuesday night ot this week, Tim remarkable feature of the eclipse being the apparent vibration ot tho shadow upon the face ot the moon, at times entirely obliterating the moon from Bight, then apparently moving back so as to expose part, and once or twice all of the moon's disc. This feature was noticed by a number of people whose statement all agree, else we would be lieve it a case of optical Illusion." In a cable letter from London to the New York Sun dated five day ago Mr. Harold Frederick says: "In many of the Northern counties of England people on the nlsht ot the total eclipse of the moon noticed a peculiar and unaccountable sight. There ran be no doubt about the occurrence, for 1t was reported simultaneously from many private source scattered over a largo ... iurt of the north. , The moon was dis tinctly seen to vibrate In a vertical man ner for several seconds' In a series of quick and methodical jerks. No astro Domical explanation ot tne occurrence . haa yet been given." This remarkable phenomenon Is In Itself strange enough, but a stranger matter altogether Is that it wo noticed nowhere In America, so tar a reported, outside of an Interior town In Oregon, and that the statements of the Inhabi tant of Trlneville should be verified by the. testimony of witnesses In the north of England. It was Impossible for the Review to have had any knowledge of the occurrence having been noted on the other side, for at the time the Item r.ppeared no word h.id bcn received hero from Great iDrituln about it. The affair seems to u to be totally Inexplicable, and we have never known of a combination of circumstances so peculiar. Hers 1 a chance for the Mar-gazers to theorize, and here also U a possibility for people who are not at all suro that the explanations of astronomers rvg.ird 1..S cr'.lpjTS are correct, to extend their doimts and le-oiii more convinced than vcr that we den't know as many thin,; ubouLthe wonderful uMwrse surroun ling us ?s we Imagine. And are not these ilo'fiitcrs, to aKrMl fxlrnt. rltr'-.t In their surmises? How our limited capac ity for understanding the wondrous worki of nature shrinks into nothingness be fore the infinite wl6dom that directs and guUlos all things above and about us! Associations of bankers now exist In thirty states of the Cnlon i.nd have a membership of 3,012. It Is now over ten years since the first of these bodies was crganlzed, but most cf those In existence date their origin since 1S90. Three years ago the banks of the state of Now York formed an association of this character in which 3S9 banks are enrolled, while the savings banks of the state have also asso ciated themselves with a membership of 100 Institutions. The interest and useful ness of such bodies has been amply proved, and it is now understood that active steps are being taken to extend their sphere and increase their utliity by the organization of a national bank ers' association. In this movement the New York association Is taking the lead, a committee having been appointed by It to secure expressions of opinion as to the proposed federation from the var ious state associations.' It Is thought that not only would such a step result in the creation of associations In all th states, but will Increase the benefits of these organizations to both the public and the banks. One result which it Is suggested may ensue Is the possible cre ation of sectional clearing houses for the settlement of exchanges among banks of slates naturally grouped together. Congressman C. N. Clark, of Missouri, leaves Newport today for nis home. Ills stay on this coast, though brief, has been full of Incident, and during his visit he has been mada one of tho long roll of honorable and public spirited men who have- become -marks 'for the malicious and lutolerent' abuse of the Orcgonian. This fact alone ijtamps him as a citizen worth ' wolcotnlng among us. Mr. Clark goes .to his duties' at Washington with an enviable record of many years stand ing In his own state, and goes, moreover, we are convinced, with the determination to do his duty according to his honest convictions. Congress wants many more men of his stamp men who think, act and vote on their own Judgment nnd who refuse to be swallowed up by lobby and corporation Interests. The time is coming when congress will get them, too, for the purification of election methods Is taking root everywhere. It was this change of sentiment that elected Con gressman Clark. The Post-Intelligencer jumps to the front with a grievance. It desires to let Eastern people know that the "Oregon Pine" stick of the Defender was cut In the foreHts of Washington. Outside ot the untruth (for the stick was felled In this state) It Is amusing 10 see how far this petty sectarian Jealousy can be car ried. Any well Informed schoolboy in either Oregon or Washington can tell the editor of the P. -I. that the term "Oregon pine" is the generic name for a tree that is found Just as extensively in Northern California, as It is on I'uget sound. Though all true sportsmen will regret the unsatisfactory result of thl3 year's International yacht races, neither side disputes tho very palpable fact thut tne Defender Is Immeasurably the better boat. Fall Ilslilng on the Co.umbln River Is doomed. We wait with pleased anticipa tion to see what line prices the cannery men wl.l get for the full product when they market It this yeir. The Seattle canal scheme has developed Into a miniature 'Paiiumu canal project. It seems as If tho Herresclioffs are si 111 able to build speedy sloops. LlOr IT CEivSE. The press of Sun Francisco generally, and a number of the dally newspapers of till city 'in particular, are making serious mlsttikes in their policies. Every community accumulates a certain umount of dirty linen, bu't the average citizen does not care to have It washed and hung out to dry on the mountuin lops so that the entire wond can see it. in other localities the newspapers avoid the publication o( such matter as much as possible. Here the poMcy appears to be different. Our pres seems to servo it to its leaders as a diet and covers the entire bill of fare with It. It was only a shon tlmo ago that a prominent East ern journalist made tho statement that "God Mis let the sun shine on Califor nia, but the dally papers of that state leud us to believe that the conditions ot the state are b. acker than the ctllur of hell." Geographically we are shut out from the rest of 'the Cnlted States, and our markets are therefore limited. We are living In hopes thlit we can in time In crease our field for commerce and traf fic. We have surroundings that abound in the resources ot an empire, but ai yet we are but In a colonial stage. Moat strenuous efforts aro being made to Im prove our condition, but we are hundl- capped by the press. We can only Im prove In prosperity as desirable immigra tion Increases, and so long as this con tinuous cry of "d the rau'.road" and "to h with the capitalists" Is kept up. and every day made a wash day for our soiled garments, immigration will seek other (iolds than California. This may seem in part like language unfit for print, but in this Instance "we propose to call a spade by Its proper name." The press has been playing to the galleries long enough. The time has come to cry a halt before It Is too late. Already we see the signs of the times In the Increas ed commerce of ports other than San Francisco, while we are standing still. All this Is largely due to the pernicious and almost fanatdcal attacks made by the prjis against the railroads and the stockholders of all large corporations. The demand created by the press for such literature no doubt causes these people to assume a fish-ting position, the result being an everlasting friction be tween them and the general' public. We do not contend that these people are al ways right, but we do not blame them for protecting themselves. Reside two wrongs were nexer known to make one rUht. . We have never seen tlje slate went made In the local papers that the "octopus." so-cai'.ed, paid out over 11,600.- 000 in IStM for street work alone, at wages exceeding that paid for similar work In any other city In tho United States. Hut, If an Individual Is acci dentally Injured or killed on one of the company's tracks, ftlr. Hunttnxton ana his a-..oelates are charged with, murder, and it Is made to appe.T as If the mllen nhiTi whs distant t.s far California Li coucrrned. It jd"iiv.-.l on all kl.l. a by visitors that San Francls-o has the "st street car system In the world, but cur newspapers -win not admit It simply because It Is controlled by the stockhold ers of the Southern Pacific. If San Fran- Cisco's and California's futures are to be festered, our press must needs stand at the helm, and It can only navigate suc cessfully when It iilull have changed its policy for one that will expose our ad vantages rather than our fau.ts. The power of the press Is capable of wielding and molding pufcllc opinion either for good or evil as it may elect. If wlelJed properly It will accomplish Incalculable good a continuation or tne . presen course means dire disaster. Journal of Commerce. POLITICAL PICKINGS.

Philadelphia Press. The Philadelphia mint under Us present management has no use for an old sol dier when a young Democrat can be got for the same money to do his work. The First Defenders and all soldiers will be justly indignant at th9 treatment vhlch Capt. Russell has received, but the claims of old solulers, whatever form they tak?, ore at a serious discount under the pres ent administration. Philadelphia Press.

"Mary," said Farmer Flint at the breakfast table as he asked for a second cup of coffee, "I've made a discovery." "Well, Cyrus, you're about the last one I'd expect of such a thing, but what Is it?" "I have found that the heavy end of a match Is the light end," responded Cyrus with a grin that would have adorned a skull. Macy looked disgusted, but with an air of triumph quickly retorted, "I've got a discovery, too, Cyrus. It was made by Dr. R. V. Pierce, and Is called a "Golden Medical 'Discovery." It drives away blotches and pimples, purifies the blood, tones up the sv3tem and makes one feel brand-new. Why, It cured' Cousin Ben who had consumption and was almost re duced to a skeleton, liefore his wife be gan to use it she was a pale, sickly thing, but look at her; she's rosy cheeked nnd healthy, and weighs 1C5 pounds.

Lung Diseases and Rheumatism Many Remarkable Cures The objections urged against Indio In the past by the large numbers who otherwise would have been glad to tak advantage of its beneficial climate, has been a lack of suitable accominudaJ tlon. The Southern Pacific Company, takes pleasure In announcing that sev eral Commodious and Comfortable Cottages have just been erected at Indio sta tion, that will be rented to applicants at reasonable rates. They are fur nit hed with modern conveniences, sup piled with pure artesian water, and so situated as to gove occupants all the advantages to be derived from a more ur less protracted residence in this de lightful climate. (From the San Francisco Argonaut.) "In the heart of the great desert ot the Colorado which the Southern Pa cific road traverses there is on onsis called Indio, which, In our opinion, It the sanitarium of the earth. We be lieve, from pcrsonul Investigation, that for certain invalids, the"o Is no spot or this planet so favorable." U. T. Stewart, M.

As to Its possibilities as a health resort, here is the moat per fect sunshine, vltli a temperature al ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil for rain is an unknown factor; pure oxygen, denpa atmosphere and pure water, wnat-more can be desired?
