THE NEW ISSUE.

It is perfectly clear with the opening
of Congress that the new alignment is
taking place and that Republicans and
Democrats are about to divide within
their parties and range themselves
along the lines of new issue, namely,
acquisition and non-acquisition of ter
Titory. The Administration represents
the affirmative of that issue. As the
Record Union has already said, it is
not to be feared; on the contrary, we
should be glad that this is to be the
line of battle. It will at least be re-
freshing and present national questions
TO the people on upper levels and in
clearer atmosphere.
The discussion and outcome Of the
new question is to temporarily relegate
old party issues to obscurity. It will
serve to educate the people largely upon
the fundamental principles upon which
en- public intelligence upon the relation
ship Of this nation to others. It is to
give to our people some new and very
much clearer lights concerning the des-
tiny of civilized States. It viii enlight-
en- us much concerning our commercial
relations, present and prospective, with
the greater communities of the world,
and will serve an eminent good purpose
in stiffening the patriotism and devo-
tion to the country of all sincere Amer
leans
There will be small opportunity in the
new discussion for the demagogue, and
the practical politician will find for his
activities very little demand. The be-
lief is justified that the question will
be settled along the line of the affirma-
tive of the proposition, namely, that we
should retain the possessions given us
by the fate of war; at least maintain
serious and jealous guardianship over
the Oriental territory, the disposition
of which is still in question.
AS between abstract annexation Of
the Philippines, complete and absolute
control and government of the islands
and rejection of them, there is middle
ground upon which the people may set
tie with nearly unanimous accord. That

INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF
FROM ASTHrlA
Has been Afforded Many Sufferers in
Sacramento.

If there was doubt in the mind of any
sufferer from Asthma in this city as to
the truth of the claims made for DR.
Schiffmann's Asthma Cure, that doubt
no longer remains, providing he was
among those who called at Francis G
Otis Drug Store last Tuesday and OH
tanned a free sample package great
number who have already tried the
same declare in positive terms that re-
lief was immediate; that the wretched
spasms were checked; that free expec-
toration was induced; that a reclining
position was readily assumed and CRATE
fully maintained; that the sleep which
followed was restfu1 and unt<oken, and
that the morning brought a clear head
and a feeling Of delighted thankfulness
which no words are too strong to de-
scribe.
Abundant voluntary testimonials
prove that DR. Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure not only gives instant relief in the
worst cases, but has positively cured
thousands who were considered incur
able. The remedy is now sold by all
druggists in packages at so cents and

EXCEEDINGLY INTERESTING TO
THE PEOPLE,

In another column of this issue the
"Record- Union presents an article of
first interest to all California and the
Pacific Coast It is worthy of perusal
by every reader, and the subject mat
ter should engage the earnest attention
of the coming Legislature. It treats of
the probable successful forecasting Of
the character Of our seasons by study
of meteorological phenomena upon the
gapan and our own northwest coast.
Recently the weather service repre-
sentative on this coast, Mr.. Harmon,
brought forward the subject and
gained for it general attention. The
article we print this morning presents
1t in some new and original lights, and
contains suggestions of the highest
value to California interests. 1t is to
be believed that Federal movement in
the matter of immediate observations
as impossible to be had, and that Gov
ernmental activity is always slow and
delayed in scientific research, besides
there is not at Washington as yet pro-
this coast; hence it is urged that State
and personal interests should be
aroused for the immediate Inaugural
tion Of steps to the ends in view.
The subject is one of exceeding i'm
portance. If 1t is true that the cost
Of grain crop seeding in California is
$3,O0O,OO annually, and that l per
cent. Of that cost will determine, after
some eighteen months observations
along the Japan current, whether we
whether we are to have drouth or
plentiful precipitation; whether the
summer is to be normal or excessive
in heat; whether the spring is to be
early or late, it is easy to understand
of what immense value three months
foreknowledge of the facts will be to
California
1t will save the cost Of too early
seeding; it will stimulate irrigation; It
will warn the miner to store water or
inform him of the needlessness of so
doing. 1t will give to the capitalist
something of the security of informa-
tion relative to investment; it will en-
able the carrier to enlarge or contract
facilities for carriage of products. It
will, in short, give all people advance
information that will enable them to
prepare against what otherwise would
be disaster, or insure them with conf
dence for renewed investment and in
dustrial activity.
If all these benefits are possible to
us, and that within a compara-
lively brief space of time, it will be
folly to await slow action on the part
of the Washington bureaus, even con-
ceding that they are already convinced
upon the subject, which, by the way,
is a matter of much doubt We again
Invite careful reading Of the article to
which reference was made in the out
set.

An Old Subscriber.

The subscription lists of the Record
Union and Weekly Union contain
the names Of most of the older resi-
dents of the northern part of the State.
The following letter tells of the death
of one of our Oldest subscribers:
Eds. Record Union: John Bouch-
ard died in Adm, Modoc County, on
the 9th ult. In him. 1 dare say, the
Weekly Union lost one of it's oldest
patrons and most devoted readers.
Mr. Bouchard came to California in
1852. Soon afterward he subscribed
for the Union" and from that time
to the time of his death he was never
without it. During the Civil War there
were times when the paper cost him
Is cents week, and yet he did not
forego the comfort of reading it, At
the time of his death he was 73 years
old. S. G.. TRAUGH.

OUR MERCANTILE MARINE.

Keeping our new possessions under
our own control will be an immense
advantage to the American merchant
marine, to the upbuilding of which the
whole country is in fact pledged, and
the Republican party by it's emphatic
affirmative declaration committed as a
champion.
If there is any defensive industry in
the land that deserves and demands
home fostering it is that Of American
shipbuilding and sailing, and the ex-
tension of our national influence in the
family of nations will infinitely pro-
mote that home interest. Even Adam
Smith, the high priest of unfettered
trade, made an exception in his stern
philosophy in favor of home-built,
ships. The national defense requires
that our merchant marine carriers
should be many; should be restored to
their one-time capacity when nearly
so per cent. of American high-sea COM
merce was floated upon American bot
TOMS
To enlarge our shipping interests
creates a reserve force upon which, in
case of war, the nation can call. At
the same time it operates as a pre-
ventive Of aggression and threat upon
the part of rivals. England became
mistress of the seas less through her
naval strength than through the inf1u-
ence Of her merchant marine. So it
may be with the American nation, If
we do not weakly reject our opportuni-
ties.
To those Democrats who look with
i'll favor upon the declaration in the
National Republican platform on this
subject is commended the terse sem
tence written by Thomas Jefferson
concerning shipbuilding and ship
owning: "As a branch of industry, it
is valuable, but as a resource of de-
fense, essential"

Senator Vest of Missouri has fired
the first shot for the anti-acquisition-
lists. He has introduced constructive
joint resolution declaring it to be the
sense. of Congress in constituting the
Constitution that the Federal Govern
ment cannot acquire territory to be
held permanently out of the, possibil-
tiles Of Statehood. But the Supreme
Court of the United States, in the
Alaska liquor cases, decided precisely
the other way. namely. that the Federal
Government may make any rules, reg
uiations and codes it chooses for the
government of its possessions, and that
1t is not compelled to erect them into
governments of Territorial form.

Just at this time there is being estab-
lished the first naval station of the
United States in the West Indies-the
most Eastern naval foothold of Amer
lea. The naval authorities have taken
full possession of the old navy yard of
the Spaniards at San Juan, and our
workmen are now busily engaged in
Transforming it into modern naval
station. What a blessing that will be
to our ships Of war! Instead of coming
on now to Hampton Roads or to New
York for temporary repairs or ordinary
supplies, they can secure them when in
the West Indies at San Juan without
leaving their cruising grounds. The new
station will prove invaluable to the
Government, and great economy.

The following rtic1ac of jpcOrpOro-
The record-union., 1898-12-10

is to say the issue may result in our
securing in perpetuity such commercial
and naval advantages as we desire in
the Orient, under a system that will
give the Filipinos full opportunity to
work out their own destinies, but un-
der such paternal guard and protection
by America as wild insure peace in the
islands and secure them against foreign
interference and domination.
One Of the three outcomes indicated
are unavoidable. We must take, con-
troll and keep the islands absolutely,
submit them to local free government
under our protectorate, or return them
to Spanish misrule. The latter is SIM
ply unthinkable, and of the remaining
possibilities the first would seem to
be the wiser course. For with that as
it will remain that at any time we can
give to the Filipinos free home govern
ment and seIf-rule whenever they at
tain to the social condition that will
their ability to become wholly a self
governing people.
But in no case is it reasonable to
believe will there be annexation Of
the islands to the Union, in the charac-
ter Of sovereign States. The anti-ac-
quisitioniSts are, however, with some
thing Of adroitness, endeavoring to
make it appear that the islands cannot
be so taken and held as to deprive them
Of the right, when the conditions are
ripe, to enter the sisterhood of States;
that we cannot, under the Constitution,
acquire any territory whatever, except
with the view Of making it in due time
a sovereign State; that the Constitution
does not contemplate any possession by
ordinate relation save that of Terri
tory or a State.
Just now the debate will develop
sharply along this question, with the
probability that decision will be
reached adverse to the contention of
the anti-acquisitionists. We have not
the slightest doubt of the constitutional
power of the Federal Government to ac-
quire territory and possessions and to
retain them in condition outside of
territorial or State form. We think all
doubt upon that point has been re-
moved by recorded decisions Of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States, and
that the Constitution clearly contem-
plated such holdings and justifies them.

The expansiOnist is a fatalist. We
are the victims of circumstances. he
says, and have no voice in the matter
of shaping our national policies. The
Philippines come to US and we cannot
"dodge the responsibility" of keep
ing them. And now that we are
"keepiny' them we cannot dodge the
responsibility of providing a big
army to keep them with. It is the
siren song of the power of greed
which attempts to accomplish under
the cloak Of moral obligation what it
could not hope to DO if it appeared in
its true light. Do we not hear the
same hypocritical whine on other
great national questions yet to be
solved? They pirate about the ''na-
tio.Hll honor" being violated if their
explorations upon the American
penple are interfered with, and it is
certainly to be expected that their
';murals' will receive severe shock
should they be frustrated in their at
tempts to despoil new fields Of labor.
This country is certainly not under
moral obligations to establish military
despotism in foreign lands, and it
has no business to annex territory in
which the people are unable to COM
prehend our theory or practice Of
se]f-government. Japan and New
Zealand worked out their own saliva
ton without the "moral influence" Of
any other country coming in and
taking possession Of them, and gov
erning them with force, and there is
hope for even the Philippines if given
the chance. Fhe civilization which
has been forced to grow under the
suasion Of the club and muoket has
never been an ideal one.
