EDS. RECoRD-UNION: Can you In
form me why the country sprinkling
wagons are allowed to take water from
the city hydrants? 1 notice four-horse
wagon taking water very frequently from
the plug at Twenty eighth and \ streets.
Is this water paid for, or do the city au-
thorities give it free?
The people in that portion of the city
do not get water one-half of the time,
particularly on warm day, and this
being so it does seem as If those who pay
water rates regularly should be supplied
before people who do not reside in the
city. and who use the water for sprlnk-
ling the country roads. SUBSCRIBER.

THE MarysviIle appeal says: sit is
to be hoped that all the talk about good
roads will eventuate in giving us few"
So it will if the people will open their
eyes to this simple, irrefutable and oft
demonstrated fact; namely, that they
now expend more money to make and
maintain bad roads than will pay the
interest and principal for a sum In hand
sufficient to build good roads, while one
third the present tax rate will maintain
them and build good feeders to the main
roads in California SO long as the present
system prevails. But the moment any
man suggests it's abandonment there is
howl from our good friends. the farmers,
who declare that the country roads are
theirs and that no others have right to
interfere in the matter of their construc-
ton and maintenance. Witness the pro-
test in the last Legislature. We have met
but few farmers who did not feel in
suited II kOlO LIAb kOOO 1OaN OuAAOlHk IL
science, snd that for which farming
does not necessarily equip men, but that
one needs to be specially qualified by
study for its prosecution. We have as
high respect for the tiller of the soil as
for any other industrious and worthy
citizen, but when il comes to road mat
tiers the average farmer oonfesses himself
to be narrow by the claim that he knows
more than anyone else about road con-
struction, simply because his residence is
rural and he knows how to handle
plow and a scraper. No, the talk will
amount to nothing until the agricultural
communities frankly admit that road
building of the right order is at least an
art, if not a science.

repeal of bad law is to enforce IL. To
allow it to remain upon the statute book
as dead letter is to confess that
the people in their legislative ca
pacity are less capable than in their
indefinite and unorganized capacity.
It cannot be assumed that communities
ever ''elect men for the express purpose
of not enforcing laws" To hold to that
is TO dub communities aggregations OF
fools; as incapable of self-government; as
deliberate offenders against their own
enactments; or making sport of the oath
Of office and of its purpose-in short, 1t
argues condition of revolution. An at
putting of the question, Is this law
wanted or Is it not?" because there IS no
means provided for ascertaining the an
swer to such q question except one-the
legislative means. The officer Of the law
is not justified in consulting the people
except through the means provided by
the law. Governments are conducted Oh
the hypothesis that all laws are intended
by their makers-the people-to be en-
forced, because, as the Register says,
"any other would be absurd" How
then can the hypothesis be absurd as
our contemporary asserts? We have In
this city demonstration Of the unsound-
ness of the declaration of the Register.
There are ordinances unenforced which
the entire community clamor to have en-
forced. There is no sentiment whatever
against these ordinances. They are con-
coded to by wise and necessary, and that
they are not enforced is due to the very
small minority that fears it will lose
votes if 1t Furnishes for the violation OF
the law; or else to the raw Indifference Of
the officers to their oaths of office. This
is demonstration of that which the Regis
ter declares is not demonstrate.

THERE is never but one question involved in
the enforcement OF a law, and only one side
10 the question. 1t is always right and eX-
pedient to enforce the laws, however bad the
laws may be. 1t is the only way OF getting
bad laws repealed.-Nerve.
The foregoing sounds first-rate. but
there is really little IN IT. Oh course govern
ments have got 10 be conducted on that
hypothesis, for any other would be logically
absurd yet the declaration is absurd and the
hypothesis not demonstrate. When COM
munities elect men for the express purpose of
not enforcing laws such are thereby repealed
as to such communities. If communities
want laws they will enforce them, and that
laws are not enforced Is evidence that the
effective majority does not want them, and
most OF the laws we have on the statute books
are not wanted and not enforced. An attempt
TO enforce a law is Il mere putting OF the Ques-
ton ais TINS Law wanted or is il not?" The
community acts or fails to act as the senti-
lnent of the effective majority may determine
and that settles it.-Tulare Register.
That is begging the question. The peo-
pie make the laws. When they enact it
must be assumed that they intend. It is
the higher moral sentiment, the sounder
reason, the conviction of conscience that
leads up to the making of the law. Now
1t is very true that error may, under false
conviction, and mistaken moral senti-
ment, and misdirected reason, enact
badly. But this cannot be undone except
by the sovereignty that created the law
and in the manner of the creation. To
argue that the people in some other way,
some indefinite and irresponsible and in
direct way, may and do work repeal OF
the laws they make deliberately and col
lectedly. may undo that which they sober
~ did. and thus justify the inaction OF
their servants, the officers OF the law, VIII

markable degree of harmony IN their

The morning sermon by Rev. Mr.:
Horner was one of marked ability and
excellence upon the spiritual unity OF
father and child, the possibilities of our
individual lives reaching higher
standard, refuting the pessimistic
thought of to-day, that the world is grow
ing worse instead of better. The whole
sermon was one of an elevating tone, and
leading us to look upward and aim at the
only perfect example, that Of Christ.

A DISPATCH from Washington on the
23d is very fattering to American van
ity. 1t relates that Captain Evans of the
battle-ship New York has returned from
the Kiel naval exhibition at the opening
of the canal, and declares that the Amer
lean ships carried off all the blue ribbons
for fine display at the naval parade.
Captain Evans adds that while we had
but four ships out of nearly hum
dred at Kiel and in the mouth of
the Danube, we were accorded by the
Germans the palm for the best show
ing. 1t is not said in so many words that
this was for superior efficiency of our
our commanders in making display.
But it is adJed that the German Emperor
four times visited the New York and
very carefully inspected her, and that he
and the officers of the German navy were
enthusiastic in their commentator of
the ship for construction. armament
and machinery. The discipline main
tanned on our ships also excited
the praise of the Germans. 1t is
explained that the reason these facts
were not mentioned in the news accounts
of the naval display was the jeal-
ousy OF our English cousins who control
the news offices on the other side. We
are unwilling to believe this. 1t is prob
his officers that there was such jealous
littleness But it is likely that the news
dispatches were necessarily limited to re-
cital of events of the canal opening, and
that comments by visitors to ships were
omitted, not from Jealousy, but because
of press of matter for dispatch over the
wires. Had the reporters sent on the
comments by even portion of the royal
and naval visitors, the matter would
have been too voluminous. since it is
certain that compliments were paid the
ships of all the nations represented in the
dlsplay. 1ue OeIHiau CHpelor was HosS
at the celebration, and he is too we'll bred
to indulge on such an occasion in other
than complimentary remarks concerning
the naval ships sent to his festival in his
honor. But we may accept Captain
/ Evans statement as true that our ships
made remarkably fine showing and
won high honors, for the very dispatches
he condemns repeatedly said that the
| American ships excited lively interest
and were striking features in the great
naval parade.

CHICAGO, Dec. Capt. d. w.
Wood, the attorney, who is a lifelong
friend of John Sherman, has returned
from Ohio, and is authority for the
statement that there is well-defined
sentiment in various parts Of the coun-
try in favor of the venerable statesman
for president in 1896. Capt. Wood
says:
II can say that we have this assur.
ance, that Senator Sherman will not
enter the scramble to contest for the
nomination. The move of his friends
to have his name presented to the con-
vention will be dignifed and becoming.
A colored man from the far South
could with propriety arise in that con-
vention and nominate him, for one of
main contentious will be that he is q
man of the nation and not Of any par.
ticular state. This thing is sure-the
next national convention will be asked
to consider his claims, and we can be.
ieye they will be treated with the ut.
