JIT IS NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL
QUESTION.
A contemporary takes The Ciiuo.v
iclk to task for saying that the
United States is under no comtitu
lional obligation to open our ports
to the free exchange of commodities
TFith our new possessions. Well,
this is a question to be determined
"by reason and not by abuse. It will
not suffice for an answer to quole
the provision of the constitution that
Bays that "all duties, imports and
excises shall be uniform throughout
the United States" unless it be first
shown that the constitution, of its
own force, and without any action of
congress, applies to the possessions
in question. Does it so apply ? Then
ire have violated the constitution in
every territory that has come into
-our possession since the act of 1798
establishing a lerriloiial government
Jor Mississipi, down to the time of
tbe acquisition of Puerto Rico and
the Philippines. More than that.
"We are now violating the constitu
lion in every territory, organized or
unorganized, in our possession. Cong
tdss has invariably established prin
ciple in regard to our territories that
arc utterly repugnant to the consti
tution. In what territory is the
federal judiciary established accord
ingto the terms of the constitution
Why hus Alaska no repressntation in
the federal congress? How did we
govern Florida and Louisiana before
they became states? By what right
did we maintain special tariff laws in
Tloridu or establish Andrew Jackson,
himself, in the territory as its gov
ernor, he being legislator, judiciary
and executive all in one? If the
constitution rules in Puerto Hico and
the Philippines why are they under
-quasi military rule? Why are they
not represented in the United States
congress? If they are a part of the
United States, jn the sense of the con
stitntion, why are they deprived of
the right to partake in the choice of
president and vice-president? The
truth is our custom has always been
to pass such laws for our territories
as congress deemed suitable to their
condition nnd this right was never
-denied till John C. Calhoun, to fit
the case of slavery, invented the
doctrine that the constitution applies
of its own force, apart from congres
sional action, to nil our possessions
This doctrine Thomas II. Ilcnton (no
bad Democrat in his day) calls "a
vagary of a diseased imagination"
mod adds that "the constitution does
.nothing of itself, not even in the
states for which it was made. Every
part of it requites a law to put it in
operation. No part of it can reach
A territory unless imparted to it by
mat of fOflgrsM." We repeat, thore-
r, lbs doctrine that bus called
down on Thk Ciiiionmci.i: tho imputa
tion of "wearing Mark H.mnn's col
lar" and nil the plutocratic parnpher.
nalin of diseased Bryanitc concep
tion. The man who denies it is
ignorant of the history of his country
and ouaht to have tho grace of
silence till he is hotter informed.
A dispatch that appears elsewhere
says that Germany stands ready with
Hoops to protect American mission
aries in Shan Tung province, China.
Not only that but she recently dis
patched nn expiditionary force to
Ichon Fu for thctr protection. Not
only that but she has actually licked
a lot of hoodlums of an anti-missionary
riot nnd arrested and punished
the ring-leaders. This beats banaghcr.
What is tho country coming to any
way ? What can Bryan and Sulzer
and Pettigrcw be thinking of? If
this thing lasts and Bryan isn't
elected next fall we will have "secret
treaties" and friendly relations with
every country on the globe.
Dufur four ears ago was a red
hot center of the free silver mania.
Today, according to the report of
one who knows every man in the
precinct, two only are suspected of
clinging to the fallacy and of these
one is a socialist, and therefore not
responsible, while the other says
nothing aud will, it is more than
probable, vote right when the time
comes.

From the Vindicator, Kutherfonltou, X. C.
The editor of the Vindicator lias had
occasion to teat tiie efficacy of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm twice with the most
remarkable resulte in each caee. First,
with rheumatism in the shoulder from
which he suffered excruciating pain for
ten days, which was relieved with two
applications of Pain Balm, rubbing the
parts nfllicted and realizing inetnnt
benefit and entire relief in a very short
time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh
joint, almost prostrating him with severe
pain, which was relieved by two appli
cations, rubbing with the liniment on
retiring at night, and getting np free
from pain. For sale by Blakeley &

WINTER TRIPS.
For winter residence or wlntor outing
ideal conditions will bejfound on every
band in California. Plenteous early
rainfall has this season given to the
semi-tropical vegetation wonderful im
petus; tbe floral offerings are more than
nsuilly generous and the crop of
southern fruits bountiful and excellent.
Old ccean possesses now charms at
Santa Barbara, Santn Monica, Long
lioadi, CoronadJaml the enchanted isle
of tho sen, Catallna whero fishing,
boating, rambling, riding, hunting and
loafing uay bo enjoyed as nowhoro else.
Quiet little spots, snug and warm,
offor themselves at Montecito, Nordhoff,
Pdsadomt, Echo Mountain, San Jacinto,
Fall Brook and Palm Springs.
For renewing health and vigor, here
abound many hot springs, of widely
varying constituents and demonstrated
merits; the dry, ant i tie, tonic air of
tbe desert may bo enjoyed at Banning,
Indio, Yuma; and, even farther on, at
Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, existB con
ditions equally well indicated for weak
throats aud lungs.
Many think nothing in nature more
attractive than tbe shimmering olive
orchards of Santa Barbara aud San
Diego; others prefer the stately walnuts
of Ventura and Los Nietos, or tho
lemons of Fernando; but for glorious
fruit nnd graceful tree commend us to
the golden orango, first, last and always,
and It exists in greatest perfection at
Covina, Riverside, Kedlands ar.d High
lands. Equally interesting is tbe
scientific and tempting fashion in which
the sorting and packing of the orange is
here accomplished.
The faithful were exhorted to see
Mecca and shuttle off; but wiser gener
ations will see California of tho south
and prolong life. t
