A FUAT FA fl.T'RE.
. " 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.

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

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

the sanitarium of the earth. We be

It Is tho place, above all others, for
