LOOKS LIKE AN OUTRAGE.

A story comes from Venezuela to the
effect that the Government has taken six
refugees from the American ship Caracas
in spite OF the protests # the captain and
the American Consul While later partieu-
lars may make out a better case for the
Venezuelan Government than the report
which has reached us, the fact that three of
the refugees were eX-membeTs Of Congress
and the other three lawyers renders the
supposition that they were offenders against
the criminal law Of the country improbable.
South Americans appear to be pretty much
all alike in their disregard Of internaiiona al
law. They do not look beyond the powers
that be at the time. Possibly they assume
that nation Of the first class would not
proceed to extremes il dealing with one of
no class at all. The Government Of the
United States is regarded as kind of pro-
tecting American power which would only
move against another American power
when all other measures of redress had
failed. But the American people Will de-
mand that these octrages upon our flag be
punished. The nation. must make itself re-
spected and possibly feared. The British,
who let no guilty person escape on account
Of lack of size, have more influence with the
South American republics than the United
States because of their readiness TO strike.
1t seems little singular that with the number
OF American cruisers now afioat there should
not have been one in the vicinity of the only
nation In the world In which large armies
are arrayed against each other.

WAVES WITHOUT WIND. /
Volcanic Eruptions at Sea That Are Very
Much to Be Feared.
Pearsonis Weekly


Occasionally there appears great wave
sweeping across the calm surface of the
ocean N the faiTest weather and when nc
wind is blowing. There are few perils Of
the sea more to be dreaded than such a
wave. Fortunately they are very rare. vet
ships sometimes encounter them. Only n
short time ago the EtTuria was met with a
wave of this kind, which rolled on her like
a wall of water, and breaking against her
side swept the deck with irresistible force
killing one sailor and seriously iniuring
others.
smaller and less stanch vessel might
have been overwhelmed and sent To the
bottom by the blow. The cause of these
singular waves is believed to be some dis
turbance of a volcanic nature at the bottom
Of the sea.
Volcanoes exist in the ocean as we'll as on
land; IN fact, nearly all the volcanoes
known are on or near the sea coast. Iti
easy to see that an upheaval at the sea
bottom may start billow at the surface of
the water. when we remember that huge
waves have been sent clear across the pa
elfc Ocean to San Francisco by volcanic
shakings Of the earth oh the borders of
Asia.
The world under water is not only three
times as extensive as that which is covered
only with air, but it possesses many of the
same great natural phenomena on a scale
that Is perhaps pTODortionately vast but OF
whose existence we are made aware only
by such indications as the volcanic oeean
waves that ships occasionally encounter

BUILDING RAILROADS WITH BONDS.

We noticed few days since some remarks
of the Record. Union having reference to
the construction of railroad from Fresno
TO Monterey. The Record Union among
other things said that the Southern Pacific
people ''own over 7000 acres of land at Mon
terey; they own that splendid property. the
Hotel del Monte, and that other fine prop
erty, Pacific Grove; the value of each will
be immensely enhanced Dy the cross-coun-
try road. In the valley of Carmel they own
many thousands of acres, also. Now, TO
create port at Monterey, which is feasible.
will make all these acres owned by the
Southern Pacific folks worth $4,000 600 more
than they are in The undeveloped state"
All of this, which is copied from the rail-
road paper par excellence, is probably true.
1t is also true that the Southern Pacific peO-
pie can build tie road just as they have
built other rairoads-by going into debt for
them. All they have got to do is to issue
bonds to the amount, say of fifty per cent
more than the road will cost. But mind,
that before this road Is commenced ''the
Southern Pacific folks" will go to work and
obtain donations Of land for townsites OF
the line of the road. They will also prob
ably ask outsiders TO invest their
money in the road, but the Southern
racine 1Olks VIII hold the majority OF
the stock What would a railroad con-
structed ID the way proposed be worth TO
the people? Would it not be managed as
are the other railroads which they now
manage? There is one phase Of this rail-
road business which we fear the public do
not fully realize. 1t is that all of their roads
are loaded down with debt Bonds have
been issued to an extraordinary extent by
these Southern Pacific folks" Nothing
like II has ever previously occurred in the
United States All these men have had to
de TO build a railroad has been TO issue
bonds for more than the road was worth,
and in ali Of their operations we believe the
men concerned have drawn out all the
money and land possible to enrich them
selves Individually. They have private for

THE CRISIS OF 1857.

The Examiner attributes the financial
crisis of 1857 to The discovery of gold in
California. There was so much money. it
SAYS, that people overtraded and thus
brought on a crisis. The low tariff of 1916
caused such an increase of imports that the
gold which came from California was
needed to meet balances against us in
Europe. From 1916 there was but one year
in which the exports exceeded the imports.
That was in 1917, the first year after the
low tariff went into operation. In ten years
after 1s47 there was steady drain of specie
to Europe. The collapse of 1857 checked
imports, so that in 1853 there was a small
balance on our side. The excess Of imports
continued with this exception until 1862.
The sO-ealled war tariff went into operation
in 1868. and in 1865 our exports exceeded our
imports by S157,6O9. 295. The real cause of
the crisis of 1857 was the drain OF specie
under the tariff of 1876

COTTON FACTORY IN CHINA.

rates Of labor compete with Europe. but a

that half a century hence China will be the

The basis Of the prediction is the immense

ENCOURAGE INFERIOR STEAMERS.

The CALL, in its last issue, referred to
the efforts OF the railroad organization to
break down the opposition line of steamers
plying on the rivers and bay between San
Francisco and Stockton. This is In accord
ance with the usual management which
controls the Central and Southern Pacific
Railroad companies. OF course, freight
transported at reasonable rates by steamers
between the two cities interferes with the
profits of the companies, hence, In their es-
timatioD, it should not be permitted. Do
our citizens realize that river transporta-
tion is Of great importance to this city and
to the State? Indeed, with reasonable
freight rates about the bay, on our rivers
ana coastwise, con siderable point would
be gained. If steamers were employed to
do all of the freight possible on the San
Joaquin and the Sacramento rivers, and
were owned by reasonable persons, they
would prove OF great benefit They would be
an auxiliary to sailing vessels from Eastern
ports, which are already producing marked
results. But do our citizens realize that
river navigation has been controlled by our
railroad oppressois? These men do not
