unite here and flow to the ocean seven miles
distant. Sea water and fresh water mingle

The earthquake came from the sea ON
the southeast and throbbed across the beau-
tiful, hapless city toward the northwest.
What made the visitation still more distress
ing was the fact that only six days before il a
terrific cyclone had swept over Charleston,
doing vast damage. When the dull, awf i
roar of the earth tremor was heard on tn 1t
last night of August many thought that it was
another cyclone.
Mr. Dawson, editor of The News and Cou-
rier, was in his office at the time. How man
feels in an earthquake is thrillingly told by
him. He wrote:

OMISSION.

H. J. Desmond, in the Century, takes an
exception to omissions in the school histo-
ries of the country that is timely and forci-
Bile. He finds that in these volumes there
is absolutely no reference to the vast tide
of immigration that has contributed to
swell the millions of America. The story
of the coming of the immigrants and their
absorption, which Is an essential part Of
the history of the American people, is not
| even referred to in the school histories Mr..
Desmond has examined. The mighty
factor of immigration appears to have been
wholly ignored. He very justly concludes
that as well might a record of the original
thirteen colonies, brought down to date.
be made, without any reference to the West
and great Southwest, as one which ignores
c%olonists who have landed since the Rev.
o~lution.

strange inconsistency Of giving chapters

ignore the million a decade" who have

when We reflect upon the mighty share
foreign peoples coming to US have had in
molding our Government and fixing the
status of our social institutions.

NOT A LOCAL MATTER.

We are told that the coming election is
only a State matter, and therefore there is
not the need for that individual activity
in the campaign that should prevail in a
national contest. This is gross error. As
the Union is made up of States, the policy
of each State has an influence throughout
the country. The right government ofthe
State tends to insure the right government
of the republic. Every party triumph in
a State gives strength to the party in the
nation. The present campaign involves
the complexion directly of the House OF
Representatives and of the Senate. Every
vote for a Democratic legislative candidate
next month is a vote to reseat George
Hearst in the United States Senate, and
to give him new opportunity to assail the
dairy interests of the land and the integ-
rity of river navigation. If the people
wish industrial interests to be protected,
economy in government to prevail, the
dignity of the nation abroad to be main
tanned, they should vote the Republican

HIS POLITICS.

Judge Terry told an audience which he
addressed in Stockton recently that John
F. Swift WIS we'll qualified in every respect
to FIJI the Office of Governor, and that the
only objection he had TO him was his poll
tics. What, then, are his politics, to
which objection is made? That he is OPP
posed to the degradation Of free labor /;
that he is opposed to every form of slavery,
ne matter whether masquerading in Chi
nese importation or not that he believes
the servants of the people should serve the
| people, and not the politicians that he
| makes no distinction in American citizen
| ship between nationalities or religions
that he is in favor of the protection OF
| American industries that he believes IN
the Righteousness of the present school
revenue system, against which Mr.. Bartlett
voted that he is in favor of and in SYM
pathy with progressive ideas, political and
moral; that he is the friend of labor, ane
holds that the interests of capital anc
labor, instead of being an~tagonistic, are
rightfully viewed, common that he be
lieyes in the living present OF the Repub
lican party, while he honors its gloriou
past that he favors every influence tina
will exalt agriculture, develop the re
sources of the country and afford all tn
people the fullest enjoyment Of the natura
advantages of this State and of ever
natural element. In short, Mr.. Swift is
Republican of independence, cenvictio
and courage.

DISTINCTIONS, BUT NO DIFFERENCES

The Humboldt Daily Tfmes-and, by
the way, one of the most thoughtful and
forcible of the California dailies-refers to
our comments upon its statement that 'the
Republican party challenges comparison
of its PRINCIPLES, its past record, and what
it proposes to do in the future, with those
of any other party" We added: But
no party can live upon its past, or its
promises for the future" Now, says our
contemporary, "if you mean that..a party
cannot live to any good purpose, that only
glories in the past and builds air castles
for the future, we agree with you most
fully" We do not except to that modifi-
cation. A political party does not
live, in reality, that lives to no good pur-
pose. "Works, no records alone, is the
rule of healthful political activity. The
past of a party may give neral guarantees
for its promise for future action, but as a
rule parties are judged by the people by
| their present. We understand the Times
clearly. 1t means, and SO said distinctly,
that a noble career is to be taken as al as
surance of performance of promise. The
Times adds We are not sure that we
quite comprehend the idea which the
RECoRD-UNIoN means TO convey insaying:
If the attachment to party that comes of
heredity actuates any man in his choice Of
political activity, he is surely to be
pitied.'" We admit that the expression
may be improved by qualification. We
meant, Just as the Times means, that eff
the only reason. a man can give for
his political faith is that it
was the faith of his father, he is to be
pitied." OF course pride in the past ofthe
party; pride that a parent whose judgment
we respect, and whose life we honor, was
drawn by conviction to the party to which
we adhere, is commendable, and is some
reason for entertainment Of like faith by
the sor, but conviction must be sub
structural to all enduring political loyalty.
When the Times says, We do not find
heredity in our dictionary, and we must
fall back upon the REcoRD-UNIoN for al
explanation" it does not place its trust in
doubtful capacity, if we may be pardoned
the egotism, to explain" Heredity is in
our dictionary, and is used by authors
freely. Webster defines it as 4" the trans
mission of the physical and psychieal
qualities of parents to their offspring; the
biological law by which living beings tend
to repeat themselves in their descendants"
So we repeat, he is not q well-grounded
Republican whose chief reason for his po-
litical faith is that he gained ii by trans
mission,

economy of modern life will settle into a
hopeless, grinding and wasteful industrial
slavery.
So citizens ought to stand together for
the custom of the rest day of the
week. The Sunday laws that do not
compel, but protect, ought to be main
tained-that is, these that say to the map,
YOU shall not be compelled in a free State
to work every day, like a slave, at any
forge. Such laws say to tired workers at
desk or bench, money cannot compel your
service az lest this one day in each week.
| Such laws conserve personal liberty instead
of restricting it. They say to the thou
| sands Of homes, this day is ~yours--be glad
for labor is released from the hand of the
task-y1aster. Such laws ought to be the
| last a free State should surrender, for they
torch the vital points Of society and
protect society's homes. Finally, he holds
| Sunday ought to be preserved from the
| encroachments of class sel6shness by ap'
| pealing in its behalf to common Il and
! common humanity. Glass selfshness il
breaking down Sunday. 1t compels one
set of men to paytribute out of their time
and freedom 10 another class. Let thi!
go on until each class in its own interesr
steals ali it can'of Sunday of another elias
and the rest day will be wholly lost.
The Professor, not going to the extern
of demanding coercion laws, insists that /
is not for the public good to tolerate thu
business enslavement of any class of mel
ever in their own supposed interests, an'
that society has a right to demand protec
ton on its holiday from the vices OF tn
town. He would, in short, hold back tn
heavy hand of capital, stop the nois..
wheels of business, and prevent riotou
excess, in order that all classes and condi
tions of men may have time to breathe, t
think and to rest.
The article at least brings the questio
forcibly to the front, whether, in GU
anxiety to conserve personal liberty, W
are not going to the other extreme an
invading the liberty and life of society?

THE CALIFORNIA AND OREGON ROAD

The San Francisco Cal well says that
the construction of the California and Ore
gon Railroad foreshadows an early open
ing up of a region of vast interest to the
State, and that the tapping of eastern Ore
gon by the road will make tributary to
San Francisco a trade of immense impor-
lance. So it will, and it is the right thing
for a San Francisco journal to say. But
how long ago was it hat San Francisco
stood up and battled against this road, and
in the hour of need turned It's back upon
it? At that time Sacramento and north
ern California, knowing the inestimable
value of the construction of the line to
California and all its trade c@enters, did
their utmost to urge its building and to
save to the company the grant so needful
to it as a basis of credit. 1t is very graft
flying now to find San Francisco with one
voice approving the course of the interior
and doing obeisance 10 its foresight and
wisdom.

The Impression Produced,

An interesting letter is published on an
other page of the REcoRD-UEIoN to-day,
from a well-known citizen of Sacramento,
now in New York. It gives, from a new
source. the impression made upon the
minds of our Eastern Grand Army visitors
of August last. Special mention is made of
the excursion trip to the Natoma vineyard,
which is also a feature of general remark
in numerous private letters received from
the East since the Grand Army boys
reached their homes. The money necessary
to run the excursion train to Natoma was
subscribed after our citizens had literally
contributed to the fund for expense of the
| general entertainment and banquet. But
il was a most successful expenditure for
the pleasure it gave the guests, and the adj
yertising influences it has already had
| throughout the East. The list of those
who made the additional subscription to pay
the expenses of the train was as follows !:
The Natoma Company, $50; Weinstock &
| Tubin. $40; California State Bank, SO; j..
O. Coleman, So; Ed. r. Hamilton, So; Peo-

WHAT IT MEANT.
This is the expression of the Republican
candidate for Governor:

This is the expression of the Republican
candidate for Governor:
It has been insinuated by political enemies
that I entertain sentiments of hostility towards
some of my fellow-citizens because Of their
birthplace, and towards others because OF their
peculiar religious views, | deny this positively
once for all. have never done so, even In the
crudeness of youth, and now l have reached the
ripper years of mature life, ! am certainly far
from holding such notions, and repudiate them
entirely.
On the other hand the Democratic NOM
inee was an early Know-Nothing a chief
in his lodge, the editor and proprietor of a
Know-Nothing paper, and he voted for
the only Know-Nothing Governor Califor-
mia ever had. w-Nothingism, let the
younger voters learn, stood for enmity to
the foreign-born citizen, discrimination
against certain religions, and therefore for
intolerance, Now we are very far from
saying that Mr.. Bartlett has not repented
of that episode in his earlier and unim-
portant career, but we do say that his OPP
ponent has had no such cause for repent
ance, and therefore in himself testifes to
the broader Americanism.
