A STRANGE PHENOMENON.


Our state news Of today contained the
following Item from the Prinevl.le Re-
view Of Thursday, the 9TH inst:
"Elther the sun, the moon or the earth
had q wabble on the night of the eclipse.
The tital eclipse of the moon was plain
ly visible at this place Tuesday night OF
this week, The remarkable feature OF the
eclipse being the apparent vibration OF
the shadow upon the face of the moon
at times entirely obliteratlng the moon
from sight, then apparently moving back
so as to expose part. and once or twice
all of the moons disc. This feature was
noticed by a number OF people whose
statements all agree. else we would be-

In cable letter from London to the
New York Sun dated nve days ago Mr..
Harold Frederick says:

A rrlAT FAILURE.

p
Considered es, financial enterprise,
TIE Manchester canal has thus far failed
to rea.izo the hopes Of It's projectors
and OF the community which supported
It to completion. In fact, to Judge from
tie reports contained in. recent issues OF
ths London and provincial press, its
condition is fast approaching
crisis This is not due to the lack OF
an increase in traffic. For the first half
year in 1895 the weight Of merchandise
paying tolls In seagoing craft amounted
TO 10000 tons, as against 2S1 ,0o0 tons in
the same period last year. In the same
way the tonnage transported by canal
was 10000 tons as against 10000 tons,
the total traffic for the concern for the
half year being 100000 tons against &c.,
900 tons, an increase of $4,000 tons or
over 60 per cent. The receipts were
f62,6l0, an increase Of f19,l(9 in the re-
ceipts, though 1t is to be noted that pas
sengers must necessarily form only an
inconsiderable source of revenue under
any circumstances. 1t must further be
considered that the favorable comparl-
son in regard to the volume of traffic
seeking the canal is due in 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, much 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 half
year by $4,000, due to maintenance ana
other items which in 1894 were charged to
capital account, but which now have to
be provided for from earnings. The
outcome is net earnings form only f7,02S |
as compared with fSO2S last year. The
opinion of the company's managers is
that 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 hold upon the business of the
districts II was intended to serve. The
old Bridgewater canal which was ac-
quired by the Manchester Ship Canal or
ganizatlon, however, shows a decrease OF
fl1,5OO which is attributed to the effects
Of a continued frost, though the conclu-
sion would not unnaturafy be that traf-
fic diverted from this ancient undertaking
accounts for the seeming gain in the
ship canals revenues, AS it is. the
whole net revenue OF the company for
the half year Is f25,OOO, while the interest
on mortgage debentures, amounting to
fl6O,OOc, has to be met from the surplus
account

The Post-Intelligencer jumps to the
front with a grievance. 1t desires to let
Eastern people know that the Oregon
Pine stick Of the Defender was cut
in the forests of Washington. Outside OF
the untruth (for the stick was feled in
this state) 1t 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 r. i. that the term Oregon
pine" is the generic name for a tree that
is found just as extensively in Northern
California as 1t is on Puget sound.

LET lr CEASE.

The press Of San Francisco generally,
and number OF the daily newspapers
OF this city in particular, are making
serious mistakes in their policies, Every
community accumulates a certain amount
or dirty linen, but the average citizen
does not care to have 1t washed and
| hung out to dry on the mountain tops
so that the entire word can see 1t. in
other localities the newspapers avoid the
| publication OF such matter as much as
possible. Here the policy appears to be
| dinerent. Our pres seems to serve II
to It's leaders as diet and covers the
entire bill Of fare with 1t. 1t was only
short time ago that a prominent East
ern Journalist made the statement that
| God hlls let the sun shine on Califor-
MIA, but the daily papers of that state
lead us to believe that The conditions OF
the state are b.acker than the cellar Of
hell"
Geographically we are shut out from
the rest OF the United States, and our
markets are therefore limited. We are
living In hopes thht we can in time in
crease our field for commerce and traf-
iic. We have surroundings that abound
in the resources of an empire, but as
yet we are but In a colonial stage. Most
strenuous efforts are being made to Inn
prove our condition, but we are handi-
capped by the press, We can only inn
prove In prosperity as desirable immigra-
tlon Increases, and so long as this con-
tlnuous cry of ID the railroad" ana
ito h. with the capitalists" is kept up,
and every day made a wash day for
our solled garments immigration will
seek other feds than California. This
may seem In part like language unfit for
print. but In this instance 1--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
halt before II 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 pernlcious
and almost fanatical attacks made by
the press 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 lighting 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. Besides two
wrongs were neXer known 10 make one
