SLIDING INTO THE SEA. j That the entire California coast will ultimately slide Into the Pacific ocean Is the prophecy of scientists, the pre diction being based on the startling discovery- that the recent earthquake split the coast range of mountains along the crest, and started the west slope on a gradual but appallingly serious march to the sea.

Tin: i i:k or sotiamsm. The fear of socialism, tt seems, Is whipping the con.servative elements in the country into line f.,r railroad rate legislation. M. rubers of c ongress and newspa- pets which have beer, o ,sed ' , ... . , ., , ... . , meddi ng with the favorlt sin enjoyed 1 by tbe railroads, are now demanding rate regulation, because, tiny say, it may cheek the tendency toward gov- trnment ownership which is the only . The Railroad Gazette, one of the ultra-conservative papers of the United States, voices this sense of fear In a recent editorial on the subject, 11s follows: There are two reasons why congress should pass what Is commonly known as a rate bill this session. The first of these' i ll I is that the email shipper under the present system suffer, a grievous wrung In the delay of the law and the cost of litigation. If he Is unjustly overcharged for the transportation of his freight, he has recourse to Justice under the provisions of the Interstate commerce ai t fr which provides that railroad rntes all such traffic us comes within 1 L'lJ the jurldlctlon of the general govern So ment shall be Just and reasonable, -0i . , , , inn so many oeotys are mruwii 111 111 palh anJ the ,,xH,n!ie ot ,.urt pro- ordure Is so great that to right any small Injustice, or any pretty big In- J' - "eha, suffered, he wu have to spend far more than he can hope to receive. The otnor reason is tne existence at the present time of a trong pub lic fooling against corporations In general and the railroads In particu lar, a public feeling which does not differentiate Is-tween wrongs for which the railroads ore responsible and economic evils unavoidable In the growth of any great transportation system. AS WE HAVE POINTED OCT IX THESE COLUMNS, THIS FEELING CANNOT BE DISPOSED OF BY A POLICY OF DOING NOTHING. IF A BILL BE NOT PASSED IT SEEMS SIRE THAT A NATIONAL PARTY WILL GROW IP. HAVING AS ITS PRINCIPAL PLATFORM A BASIS OF HOSTILITY TO RAILROADS AND TO CORPORATE INTERESTS WHICH WILL DO FAR MORE HARM THAN ANY LEGISLATION NOW CONTEMPLATED. THE BRAND OF THE THIEF. The federal grand Juries are doing their duty In Oregon. Trie are com posed of men who are usually honest and sincere, with rugged ideas of right and w rong and fearless of con- sequences. In returning Indictments, the grand Juries do not usk w ho an accused man is. how much he Is worth, how he is "connected" or what position he holds. The Jury simply takes the facts as presented and finds Its verdict upon those facts. All the land thieves aro guilty of the crimes charged against them, as far as the grand Jury is concerned. Hut to convict nil of them Is another ' thing. When rascals come Into court with access to perjury, bribery and other I forms of defenso, the chances of con- and up m citizens of different pbo es who were above reproach and against Such an Influence should not be strengthens!

The 30th of November, 1645, Manila suffered the greatest earthquake that had occurred since the time of the conquest. Following Is the description made by Father Tedro Murillo of the Society of Jesus: , J . , , , ,, , 1c,r , On this day of the year, 1645, at u,mt g 0'cl.-k at night, the heavens helng serene, the sea calm, the air quiet and everything peaceful and In repose, the earth began to move with violence, exhaling sulphurous gases that came from Its bowels with such vl((.nf.( (hllt ,t npr.are,, ,0 move n (n(, fif-mits. ; The sea was agitated In such a way that its waters were filled In a short time with unquiet waves, so violent , I thnt they caused great fear to the nav strong economic .. .

The rivers were thrown from their beds with such force that If they had not had wide, unoccupied fields to dis charge the water, In Its fury great destruction would have been caused to the near towns. From the hollows of the earth came globes of fire that Rilled through the air. causing terror as they fell; It had the appearance of heaven raining on the city as in olden times in Pentapolls, for a punishment of their sins. In the air were sounds like volleys of artllleiy. To the consternation of all they discovered some of the vol canoes were In eruption. At last the brutes were affected bv the move ments. The cattle ran through the country, pursued by the same turbi Hon, bellowing with fright: the dogs caused horror by their ineluncholy and sorrowful howling. The birds threw themselves from their nests to the ground In their ag itation, and flew around In the air without finding any place to roost In quiet. In their great fr'ght and per turbation neither had fishes security In water, as they were thrown from one side to the other by the violence of the waves, ns they encountered them in their fury, and were killed and thrown on the shores.
