French Cruisers Leave

A BLOCKADE POSSIBLE
Denied at Paris That Any Def

Planned.

Port of Spain. Island of Trinidad,
Jan. 24.-The French cruisers DesaiN
and Jurien de la Graviere have sailed
from here. presumably for La Guayra,
Venezuela.
Correspondence published at Cara
cas- demonstrates. it is claimed. the
connivance of the French government
in the Matos revolution. 1t is admit
ted that the fact that the French cable
company had been the French goven-
ment's best news carrier justified the
action by the government against the
company. Hence the position which
Venezuela assumed towards NJ TaignY,
the former charge d'affaires of France
at Caracas. when in his protest in be-
half of the company he accused the
Venezuelan government OF despoiling
the company, was correct, according
to the Venezuelan point of view.
Frances Course Not Determined.
Paris, Jan. 24-Further inquiries at
the foreign office confirm the state
ment made that a decision regarding
what action shall be taken towards
Venezuela has not been reached. 1t is
pointed out that entire accord exists
between France and the United States
and that when France is ready TO move
it will be with the full knowledge and
approval of Washington. The officials,
however. decline to discuss the eventu-
al intentions of the French govern
ment
Reports of blockade.
The reports circulated TO the effect
that a blockade has been ordered are
evidently founded on the statement re-

saying that the cruisers DesaiX and
the Jurien de Ia Graviere had left there
for an unknown destination.

A FATAL OMISSION.

With all the sDlUTge and fuss and
feathers attending the business Of this
congress, its most notable feature has
been the omission to do anything with
the tariff; and that omission will prob
ably be the center Of the battle at the
polls this fall. Congress, it is true, has
enacted a rate regulation law but that
was as nearly a nOn-partisan measure
as could be had in a partisan body. and
the principle of the bin was taken bod
fly from the national Democratic plat
form and urged by a Republican pres
ident The Panama canal measure was
in no sense a party issue. the meat in
spection bill was another non-poIiticaI
effort and the statehood bill as finally
adopted Was a distinct defeat for the
administration.
OstensIbly attempting 10 restrain the
trusts, admitting the necessity for the
adjustment OF the tariffs evils, the Re
pUblicans controlling both houses of
congress and the executive stn stand
pat on a tariff which has been RESPONSE
Die for the worst OF the trusts. and
which has unloaded on the consumer
most Of the burden involved in the ex-
pense of government. If an admins
tration avowedly looking for a chance
TO relieve oppression and wipe out mo-
nopoly were really in earnest it would
begin with the schedules of the tariff
which were formed by the trusts and
foI the trusts. and it would not end I'M
til every inequality had been removed.
The simplest Of tests would furnish
= basis for operations, namely, the price
Of protected goods to the foreign and
American consumer. No tariff can be
called honest sor equitable that permits
the American manufacturer to fix his
own figure to the domestic market with
out competition and cut the same price
In two for the foreigner; and the test
applied would show that the worst of
American trusts mulct the home con-
sumner while they reduce cost for the
foreigner.
1t is conceded that the worst monopo-
lies have been able to maintain their
strange hold on the consumer only by
illegal rebates and a tariff designed to

ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.
WORK FOR A PROSECUTOR.

There is work for the county attorney
or some other duly constituted prose-
cutor i'm the indescribabIy brutal dog
fight that was arranged for the delec-
tatiOn OF some beasts in the form of
men at or near Garfield the other day
, The Herald yesterday published a de-
tailed report of the fight. 1t should
not be hard for the officers to secure
evidence enough to convict the individ-
uals who were responsible for it and
the equally guilty individuals who wit
messed it. And. having found the evil
dence and the men, the trial court
should infict the heaviest punishment
possible under the law.
Unfortunately. the law makes If only
misdemeanor to fight dogs in this
state. 4 misdemeanor is punishable by
confinement in the county Jail for not
more than six months or a fine of any
amount under $500. or both fine and i'm
Irisonment I'm the discretion OF the
court. Surely the limit of the law would
not be too heavy a penalty for prin-
cipaIs and for witnesses. If a half
dozen or a dozen Of the professional
men" who, according to the report, so
far forgot all ordinary decency as to
50 to see this fight, were confined in
jail for six months it might help them
To become better citizens.
It is difficult to understand a char
acter that permits its owner TO find
pleasure in the spectacle Of two dogs
hanging and killing each other. IF we
had TO choose between the fighting
dogs and the bestiaI men we would take
the dogs every time, for the dogs would
be far better companions. The dogs,
al least. only follow the natural in
stincts Of their kind, while the men
must be lost to all sense of decency
before they can bring themselves to
witness such a sight.
It is not necessary to speculate, how
ever. A few lines on d blank warrant
in q case like this would be more eff
CacioUs than several columns Of spec
Ulation. The county prosecutors will
be dereIict in their duty if they fail to
take action Immediately.
