THE SITUATION.

Private advices are to the effect that
Ohio is showing remarkable silver
strength. Bryan's meetings were re-
makable for such outpourings of peo-
pie as were never before seen In that
state. Organs gab' that Oregon
papers speak Of SO disparagingly is
appreciated wherever it is heard.
An Iowa correspondent says the
managers are all at sea, and that Iowa
may be classed as a doubtful state,
with chances as in Ohio, in favor Of
the Republicans.
Kansas presents situation SINH
lar to that in Oregon-a complete
coalition against the Republicans,
with chances Of carrying the state for
Mckinley altogether out of the ques-
tion.
Before Bryan spoke in Pennsyl-
vania, that state would have gone
25O,O00 for Mckinley. Now it will
not give half that.

RosEBURG, Sept. 12.-Hon. Binger
Hermann spoke at Roseburg last Fri
day night tn fairly good sized audi
ence composed about evenly of ladies
and gentlmen 1t is estimated that
there were about % voters in the house
some O: them being Bryan men. Had
the hall been packed to overfiowing 1t
would be no more than might have
been expected, for this is the home of
the congressman and he has been a
popular man. His speech occupied
two hours or more and consisted Of
the ordinary cheap political claptrap
that is being sprung upon the people
by goldbug orators. Hand bills were
circulated several days in advance an
nouncing that he would speak and it
was expected that many country peo-
pie would come in to hear him. The
farmers, however, were remarkably
conspicuous by their absence.
Hermann is pretty fair contortioH-
ist, as evinced by his heroic struggles
to swallow the old corrupt Scott
Simon-Dolph Portland political ring
which did its utmost to defeat him
once upon a time. He succeeded in
this act. He also made mighty
effort to bolt a large package of con-
gressional records which contained
some of his utterances, favorable to
the free coinage Of gold and silver at
the ratio of l6 to where he was Ia

Hon. Tom Tongue was present, but

sLURRING THE GERMANS.

Gan old German, who is an enthus-

that it was all humbug to try and
force the pops to vote for "Sewall and

nothing to do with that kind Of a deal
and would cast his ballot for 'Sewall

man.
While Germany is not trying to in
terfere with the financial policies of
our country as the English press would
seem to indicate that England is, the
Germans read and think for them
selves and cast an intelligent ballot.
Chances are that every German in
Marion county will know exactly who
he will vote for in November, and a
vast majority Of them will vote for an
Independent American money system.
The goldbugs will get little consola-
tion out of the German vote.

THE SCHOOL OF FINANCE.


The second lesson in THE JOUR
NAL finance school was put on the big
bulletin board in front Of the Post
Office block Saturday. 1t was dia-
gram to show by squares the re-
spective amount Of wheat l-1Gth OF an
ounce Of gold bullion and one ounce
OF silver bullion would buy in the
New York market in 1873 and today.
The second lesson draws a continual
crowd.
1t was shown that sixteen times as
much of silver as Of gold would buy
the same amount of wheat in 1873, be-
fore silver was deprived Of free coin
age privileges, and that an ounce OF
silver, a bushel of wheat aud 1-16th
ounce OF gold were each worth in New
York s1.29 in 1873.
The prices OF gold, wheat and silver
now are relatively as follows: An
ounce of silver and bushel Of wheat
are still worth the same-664c. But
the 1-16th ounce OF gold that in 1873
would buy bushel of wheat or an
ounce of silver, will now buy two
bushels of wheat in New York or two

The ladies of Paris are about to
found female masonic lodge, says a.
writer in the New York Tribune. De-
feated in their attempts to obtain seats
in the legislature, in the academy, and
in the municipal councils, they have
determined to resort to freemasonry,
their object being, so they announced,
to ''regenerate" this secular institu-.
ton, to endow it with more life" and
fraternity" and above all to drive all
politicians out of the temple. The
organizers of this project have already
obtained the consent of the govern
ment, and an executive committee of
eight has been appointed, with Nine.
Marie Deraismes as the first grand mis-
tress or venerable of the lodge, which
already includes over one hundred
members. 1t is stated that the ladies
are assisted in the work of organiza-
ton by three brothers of the craft.
The ladies announce that they do not
intend to follow the examples of the
male lodges with respect to mysteries.
and theatrical ceremonies, and intend
to remain content with the trimestrial
and annual passwords. 1t is scarcely
necessary to add that they are devoting'
much attention to the insignia, and
while the apprentices and ordinary

Among Them Is Unique sheet Issued In

of its proprietor, editor reporter, adj

Grated his horse and stock ads with
rough cuts. The paper appeared in
purple ink from a gelatine copying
press, or hektograph, and its editorials
and local news were usually so clearly
presented that the little journal was
influential in the territories, read with
avidity in the newspaper offices of
eastern Canada and constantly quoted
as an authority. A newspaper by the
same process is the Mashonaland Her
aid and Zambesi Times, conducted by
an Englishman in the wilds of Africa,
and supported by subscriptions and

wv, -'s- value Or CANALS.
The Nicaragua Cut Likely TO he an Enor-
mOusIy Profitable Enterprise.

NN.'AI . AtAANfAfAN
The Sucz canal, with almost a hun
dred miles of continuous digging, cost
about Sl0O, 600, 600; of this sum S30,0OO,-
900 was wasted in interest, commits
sionS, changes of location and bad
management. That canal has now
traffic of nearly nine million tons an
nually, and according to the North
American Review, it must be speedily
enlarged 70 accommodate the com
meree that is erowding through it to
the western coast of the Pacific ocean.
The Nicaragua canal has twenty-nine
and a half miles of canal prism, or
axial line. OF this one-third is very
light dredging. The total length of
this transit from sea to sea is 1691S
miles; of this line 1854 miles is slack
water navigation at an elevation of
10 feet above the level of the sea.
This small lift is overcome by six locks
three on either side of the lake. The
entire cost of the canal ready for use,
as estimated by Mr., Menocal, allowing
25 per cent. for contingencies, is $685.
0S4,176. A board of five other great
| engineers went over Mr.. Menocars
measurements and estimates with
| great care, and out of abundant eau
tion, and nN because of any substan-
tial change in his figures, they added
to his estimate another 20 per cent. for
contingencies, and so changed his esti-
mate as to make the total cost of the
canal, ready for service, SS7, ,799, $40.
1t seems that this may be reasona-
bly, accepted as the outside cost of the
canal. But, if we run up the conjec-
tural cost to 100000, 900, if built for
that sum, it must be the most valuable
property in the world of its magni-
tude. The tonnage, annually, can
scarcely fall below that of the Sue2
canal. 1t will gradually exceed that
amount. If it is two-thirds as great as
that which passes through the st
Mary's canal on the lakes it will equa
100000 tons. Who does not know
that it must be greater than the traffic
supplied by so small an area of inlan(
country? A just estimate would b.
fixed, confidently, by the most careful
and hesitating persons at 100000
tons per annum, to say nothing of in
come from passengers, of whom
swarms will emigrate to the Pacif
coast. OF this estimate we coul,
place the tolls at the rate of 81 per ton
and realize $4,000, 900 per annum. TAX
SO, 100000 of this sum for maintenance
of the canal, which will not exceed
half that sum; $3O00,00O for interes
on the bonded debt, and $4,000 70
the stockholders, and we will have ;
result that should excite the cupidit,
of the most grasping speculator Blu
the true friend of the industrial ant
commercial people will see in this re
suit saving to industry and com
merce of more than one-half tn
charges for tonnage that are nov
, paid to the SueZ canal. If the Unite
States are the owners of $4,000 600 o
the $100,000,000 of the stock in thi
canal, and if it is to cost 100000, 90
to build it, the dividends on tina
$50, 100000 of stock, employed in
sinking fund and invested in the bond
of the company, would pay the entil

$ the bonds in less than fifty years.
