THE BUILDERS ASSOCIATION.
Reply to Ed. Croly.

TWO ARTICLES HAVE LATELY AP-
i peared in the Sacramento "Bee," one sign
ed by Z. J. Croly, and the other purporting to
be an interview, wherein Mr.. Croly gives a
history of his troubles with the Contractors
Union" AS there is no such association in
this city as the Contractors Union," it is diff
cult to see how Mr.. CroIy can have any trouble
with it. 1t is very probable, however, that
Mr.. Croly's imaginary trouble is with the
Builders Association of Sacramento" of
which he was IL member for about two years
The statement and interview of Mr.. Croly
contains SO many errors and suggestions in

pressions, that the Builders Association
deem it proper to set themselves right before
the public of Sacramento. 1t may be remark
ed that it is strange that Mr.. Croly should be
at fault in designating the association at

member OF it he admits that he drafted the

The Alarming Increase of Pneumonia
and What 1t MeanS-ssThe ssStitch in

Scarcely a day passes that one does not hear
OF men and women whom We picture as the
perfection of health and strength being strcll-
en- down by the terrible disease, pneumonia.
Perhaps the greatest cause of pneumonia in
this country is the extreme difference in tenn
peratllre between the interiors of Offices and
homes and the outside air. So long as people
consider il necessary for their comfort to
maintain q hot-house temperature indoors,
when the mercury is very low outside so long

The greatest care and prompt measures
should be taken upon the first approach of the
slightest symptoms of pneumonia. If you
have tickling in the throat, q tigltness in the
chest, q pain in the head, a chilly feeling or
pains throughout the body, act promptly. act

This can sometimes be accomplished by quick
and wastes the strength, which should be huS-
banded. A lar better plan is to take q pure
and strong stilnuiant, which will tend to
equaliZe the circulation, check congestion and
restore TO health. There are many forms of
stimulation, but only one that can be recon-
mended-that is Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky
This is the only medicinal whisky upon the
market, and its purity and power are proven
by its popularity. 1t has saved the 1ives of

science, and ii stands, as it deserves TO stand.

THE CARPENTER COUNTY DIVISION
BILL.

The REcoRD-UNIoN, in line with its
uniform advocacy of local self-govern-
ment, has expressed the opinion that
county division questions should be taken
out OF the Legislature by general provi-
sion relegating all such issues to the deci-
sion of the people Immediately concerned.
The bill of Senator Carpenter proposes to
do this. 1t provides for the submission
of these questions to vote of the people,
when, in counties of 1900 population,
one-fourth of the voters of the county
petition the Supervisors to submit the
question of division.
1t is not necessary to present the several
details of the bill. They are plain and ex-
plicit, and there is no ambiguity in them
The ascertainmen iof the Judgment of the
people is to be had by an election held as
are other special elections. If the vote
declares for division, commission is
raised to organize the new county and to
apportion the assets and liabilities of the
old territory between the two new terri
tories.
There are, perhaps, some improvements
to be named for the betterment of the
measure, but they are such as will natur-
ally suggest themselves to the Legisla-
ture. The central thought and underly-
ing principles of the bill are sound, since
1t provides for the whole body of the
county being made the arbiter of the
question Of division, and. that is the only
tribunal which should sit in the case.
The reasons for submission of the
question to the people are general, and
such as we have set forth heretofore; but
1t will occur to the thoughtful that a
special reason is this, that in all such
questions there are many considerations
purely local, which address themselves
forcibly to all the people of the county,
but which Legislature is incapable of
appreciating fully, and of whichtit can
not gain clear idea from any amount of
testimony submitted to it. Yet few
people can go before the houses and raise
such questions concerning division and
make such combinations as will involve
almost the entire body of State legislation.
They can really tie the hands of the
Legislature, and put back the State busi-
ness seriously. It is to prevent this evil,
for one thing, that the Carpenter bill is
proposed, though the chief and all-pre-
vailing reason for it, is the soundness of
the general proposition that government
should be brought as close to the people
as is possible, and that they should, in
towns, counties and municipalities, be
made self-governing just as fully as it is
possible to do within constitutional
limits

SIR JOHN MCDONALD, of Canada has,
we think, put the question of Canadian
union with the United States very
strongly. We have never believed that
annexation would be beneficial, either to
Canada or this republic. The Dominion,
as a separate State, is safer and better off
than as an annex to the United States.
Her people enjoy the full need of liberty
they desire; they would not be materially
advanced by projection into our political
system. So far as the United States is
concerned in the matter, the injection of
the Canadian population into the Ameri-
can system, would not improve our polit-
ical status, add elements harmonious
with us, or. tend to strengthen us.
Wherein Sir John Mcdonald is in error,
is in his view of commercial union, or
of broad reciprocity between the two
countries. Mr.. Erastus Wiman has the
best of that question. 1t will be for the
benefit of both countries to exchange
their products and manufactures on as
The record-union., 1891-02-14

Fly an equality as is permISSlble by

nearly an equality as is permissible by
the principles of the reciprocity doctrine.
The Canadian statesman does not
gainsay this, but fears that such relations
would lead up to annexation-but this is
by no means to be considered an newt
able result. There is not any good reason
why we cannot sell to Canada and receive
from her on a reciprocal basis, without
promoting annexation, any more than
with Brazil or with Mexico. Mere con-
tiguity of the United States and Canadian
territory, does not, we apprehend, cut
nearly so important figure in the
question as Mcdonald asserts.

ADMIRAL PORTER.

The death of Admiral Porter removes a
national man from life, and one in whom
the people took lofty pride as product
of the Republic, whose career reflected
honor upon it. He came of family of
naval heroes. His great grandfather,
brother, two of his own brothers and his
cousin, all served their country upon the
high seas with distinction. The father,
David Porter, was one of the most dis
tinguished of our early naval officers. It
was he who carried at the mizzen of the
Essex in 1872 the flag inscribed Free
Trade and Sailors Rights" and who,
with the same ship fought the British
ship Alert, and sunk her in eight min
utes. In that war he captured a great
number of British ships, seized large
amount of money, and inflicted in the
Pacific alone 3 SOC, 900 of loss upon Brit
ish commerce. His subsequent achiev-
ments were brilliant, and form a part of
national history.
LIiNlo ~ CIitCiCo thO
naval service as a MILDLY in 1924, served in
all subsequent wars of his country, and
left the service but once, when for short
time in days of peace he commanded
in the Pacific Mail Company. He
returned to the service at the opening of
the civil war, and throughout that con-
fiict was strong arm for the Govern
ment, and an object of admiration by the
people. He had the honor to command
in front of Fort Fisher the most formid-
able armada ever collected for concentra-
ton upon one given point, according to
General Grant. At the close of the war
he served in high positions of trust under
the Naval Department, retaining to the
close of his life his rank of Admiral. He
was close student and author of works
of fiction and history of superior order
of merit. The death of this gallant Off
Ger, whose life reflected such brillianey
upon his country's history, is an event
that will be mourned by all patriotic
Americans. He lived to a ripe old age,
enjoying the respect of the world and the
grateful affection of his countrymen.

President Harrison in his Memorial
day speech at Philadelphia expressed
the opinion that half-mast flags were
not appropriate on Memorial day, say
ing that if the dead could speak they
would say "Put the flags at the top of
the mast" The President is right.
This point was recently discussed in
New York city and General Sickles
ana other veteran officers of high
intelligence held with President Har-
rison that the flag should not be at half
mast. The day was not funeral occas-
sion; the q. A. II. or the military bodies
did not march with reversed arms or
draped colors; nor did they step to the
music of military funeral. There
Is no authority for the half-masted flag

veterans comedies with that of Cen

valor placed it. We honor them in
