THE appearance of Madison Wells has
spoiled many good stories. We were assured
by score of veracious Washington CORE
spondents that he was secreted in that city,
and that his hiding place was visited every
night by Secretary Sherman with basket of
cold vittles on one arm and bundle of green
backs uuder the.other. The worst feature OF
the case is that doubts will be thrown upon
the veracity of these correspondents. We
shall even begin to distrust their prophecies,
they will become Cassandras and our liber-
ties will be overthrown while we jeer at the
only men who would save us.

Mr.. HENDRICKS again vindicates his right
to be called the first tumbler in the political
ring. Not long ago he held that coin meant
gold. He is now very sure that it means sill
yer. He thinks that Congress has ample
power to provide against any evils likely to
follow reconciliation. The people yearn to
know the nature of that power. They are
inclined to fear, too. that Congress has not
the disposition if it has the power to remedy
these evils.

In Its financial article the Shoe Gnd Leatt-
er Reporter has this to say of the silver
scheme: 1t really is high time that thinking
men began to consider this measure in calm
and temperate spirit. The interests of the
East and West are identical; what will iniure
or benefit either will ipjure or benefit both.
There is evidently a mistake somewhere; if we
could all proceed deliberately to find out
which side is wrong, there might be good
ground for hope of arriving at satisfactory
understanding, The present agitation is ex-
ceedngly damaging to business; the uncer-
tainty as to what is going to happen is per-
picking, and the fear that change is to occur
in the standard by which exchanges of COM
modities are effected hinders the flow of cap
ital into channels of useful occupation, and
deters prudent business men from engaging
with their accustomed confidence in opera
tions the results of which may depend upon
the capricious course of national legislation.
1t is our abiding conviction that the silver
scheme is in violation of the true principles
of political economy, but we have no disposi-
tion to impugn the sincerity or to disparage the
judgment of the multitude who hold the con-
trary opinion. We greatly prefer to compare
notes with them in the hope of persuading
them that our views, ii put to the practical
test, will tend to the maintenance of policy
which is quite as conducive to their welfare as
to ours.

THE peace preliminaries which Russia
offers and Turkey accepts are more indefinite
than those previously announced. The ques-
ton of the straits is left TO be settled here
after, the limits of Bulgaria are not defined,
and the question of territorial acquisition by
Russia is left in doubt. The Czar evidently
hopes to complete by diplomacy what he be-
gan by arms.

OREGON WONDERS.

The Discovery OF the Crater OF an Ex.
tinct Volcano.
Pro. George F. Hollis writes from Jor.
dan valley. Oregon, to The New York Sun
as follows Near here, in Baker county,
there exists al extinct crater, which has
been a noble and terrible agent of nature,
This crater is situated twenty miles north
Of the stage road running from Boise City,
Idaho, to Winnemucca, New. At $50
o'clock w reached the rim of the crater
and looked down into the dizzy abyss. The
length Of the crater is 5000 feet, aud 1t will
safely reach $500 feet in width. The depth
of the present cavity is estimated at 1859
feet. The entire crater is burned out, but
the aches and cinders have accumulated on
the west side for 200 feet above the rim,
and still remain. On the bottom huge
boulders are lying over the lava crust.
A little vegetation grows on the west
side. The formation of the sides shows q
wall Of granite, and a stratum to wash gra-
vel under it. The circumference of the
crater at present is one mile. The elevation
at the base is about 5000 feet above the sea
level. Close estimation gives the fact Of
the former height of the crater at 10,O 900
$50 feet long, 60 feet wide and 80 feet deep.
If you get into it by accident you cannot
get out, unless by ropes, a. the walls are
perpendicular. Thirty yards east Of this
is another hole, about the same in proper
ton and appearance. On the northwest
side Q chimney has been built out of lava
slabs, which is fifteen feet high and eight
feet at the base. My theory is that it was
built for the purpose Of q landmark, and
perhaps by some tribe of Indians now ex-
tlnct as a place of burial. The last erup-
ton must have taken place at least 500 years
ago.
An arm Of lava rock extends back into the
hill west, but I had no time to examine it.
The vast amount Of lava proves that the
volcano was n Of gigantic proportions.
The field covers an area Of twenty.f & miles
in length, and ranges from half a mile to ten
miles in width. Its thickness ranges from
eight to one hundred feet. It is fretted and
curled, sunken and elevated. In the lava,
about q mile and . half from the crater, 10
another small crater, aud around 1t, on all
sides are slides, which appear Is though Old
Glover Foot had been using it for the pur-
pose Of dumping lava. Other places reeem-
bic 4 race track. Some of the seams are
from six inches to Eve feet in width, caused
by the lava rolling, no doubt. There is no
vegetation on the lava, except here and there
a little bush struggling for existence. A
volcanic scent permeates the entire region,
and it i n scene Of desolation.
There is no running Of water nearer than
four miles nom the crater, but there ars

HOPEFUL SIGN.

It has been evident to ns, for some time,
that money would soon seek investment in
real estate securities Municipal indcbt-
cdness has become so enormous MS to alarm
capitalists, aud ior sometime past there
has been a disposition on the part OF East
ern savings banks, and other large invcs.
tors in such securities to unload. They
have been led TO believe that other sccuri-
ties would pay quite rs we'll aud be much
safer. Now, in almost every city aud
village, arrangements have been made
with Eastern capitalists for money to he
loaned on real estate securities. The own
ers Of the money are well satisfied with
ir legal eight per cent. interest, since that
il nearly double the amount that can be
realized upon loans in the Eastern States.
Could the people here obtain the money at
that rate, or even at ten per cent, it would
b. great help to them, but the agents
making the loans for Eastern parties usu-
ally charge from tour to five per cent. for
making the loans, which brings the rate
OF interest mp to twelve and thirteen per
c,nt. Add TO this other expenses attend
ing the getting of the money, and the rate
becomes too high for any one to stand,
evrru II may he in special emergencies.
This condition OF things will undoubt.
! edly change ere long, and money can be
had ut fair rates Of interest. 1t is a hope
ful sigu when the holders of money begin
to seek such securities. 1t isevdence that
money may soon be had, by those in need
without too great a sacrifice, and that it
will gradually become 80 circulated among
the people that all will feel easy and be
able to meet obligations with little diff
Guilty. The parties acting as agents be.
tween borrowers and lenders can do very
much for the general good by taxing the
borrower only reasonable compensation
for services rendered, and he who will in.
augurate the era Of cheap rates of interest
will deserve the commentator of all.
Let us hope that the time is near, very
near, when better times may dawn upon
the people, business revive, and general
prosperity fall to the lot of all.
