THE DAY.

The Record Union sends to all the
people the sincere wish that they may
have a Merry Christmas, and that for
the year to follow prosperity, peace
and success may attend upon them.
The Record Union" has no intention
of following the conventional and
preaching Christmas sermon, or OF
INDUCING in morahzing upon the spe-
cial season of good feeling and human
sympathy. The lesson of the hour IS
known to all VINO read and think, and
to those who do not it is useless to
make special address. The man, wo-
man or child capable of approaching
the Christmas season needs no re-
minder of the lesson it teaches or the
duty it imposes 1t is a sweet and sat
isfactory reflection that this is true, so
widely the world over are the teachings
of the Prince of Peace known, reyered
and carried in human hearts.
The record-union., 1899-12-25
Saws the San Diego .T1nion".

One of the signs Of good times Is the
large amount of money that is now
going abroad in small sums, forward
ed by people of foreign descent to their
relatives or friends in Europe as
Christmas gifts. One steamer leay-
ing New York last week took over
S211, coo divided up into 23,401 money
orders, and it is estimated that the
amount which went last Saturday the
last date at which money could be sent
to arrive by Christmas, was about
81. 100000 The poorer people of the
Old World are enjoying a share of the
prosperity Of the New.
There must be some mistake about
that, for the Bryanites, the anti-expan-
sion press and the calamity shriekers,
who would growl at the accommodate
tons If landed in Paradise, tell us that
the "so-called" good times are all cheat,
deceit and Illusion. Those $4,000 for
eign money orders are but the dream of
black Republicans, and citizens who
rejoice that some at least are prosper
Gus, and that woe and restitution are
not dominant in the land. Certainly
our San Diego contemporary is mis-
taken, else influences now gnawing
files are constituencies liars.
The record-union., 1899-12-25

sums far in excess of that required in
order to secure State aid. In one OF
these cases the sum in excess reached
$4,000.
Under the Connecticut system when
the road constructed under State aid
is accepted the residents along the
highway are not required to bear the
whole expense. as heretofore, of main
tenance. 1t Is this feature that has
given the law such high favor. The
Louisville "Courier-Journai' has be-
gun an agitation to secure from, the
Legislature Of Kentucky the passage
of law similar to that of Connecticut.
The Journal says:
There can be little doubt that if the
Kentucky Legislature will enact such
a law it will add millions to the
wealth of the State, make rural life
more attractive, enhance the value of
lands and farm products, and encour-
age the growth of public spirit in every
way.
The record-union., 1899-12-25
CoNNECuCUTs ROAD LAW.

The last Legislature Of the State of
Connecticut adopted road improve
ment law, under which State aid is
extended to towns and even school dis
tricts, which within certain periods and
according to State plans, construct
good roads and highways. Under this
law the Treasurer of State some ten
days ago began to pay off such CHS
tricts as in the first year gained rights
under the new Act.
Under this system the State pays
three quarters of the cost of improved
roads In towns where the assessed
values are $1.000,0O0 or less. and two
thirds in towns where the assessed
values are more than $1,0CO000, but
the total sum expended in behalf of
the State in any one year must not ex-
coed $4,000, nor more in one year
than 81, 500 in one town.
Connecticut is a small State and its
contribution of $4,000 a year stands
for what in New York or Pennsylvania
would be a million dollars. The plan
I'm Connecticut has worked admirably.
In the first year 115 towns made APP
n,ication for their share of the fund,
and there are but 1913 towns in the
state. The demands thus far filed and
approved consume the entire S3o0,0OC
appropriated for the two years covered
by a legislative term, for many of the
towns have their claims in for the Two
years.
The sums apportioned run from $500
to 81 500 and the improvements cover
according to the report of the State
Commission 500 miles of main high
ways.
improvements are now projected, aud
In some cases work has been entered
upon for some 700 miles more. The
most pleasing feature of it all is, that
IT is the small towns which are most
active and have reaped the largest ben
eft by the agitation, for road improve
ment has stimulated business and
moved forward and inaugurated other
public and private improvements. In
many cases the towns expended freely

THE QUESTION OF CONSENT.

The claim is still made by anti-expan-
sionists and their essayists that the
United States in it's endeavors to sup
press the instruction in Luzon is de-
flying and violating the principle OF
1.-The consent of the governed" We find
the reassertion persistently repeated in
the anti-expansion journals, in the
monographs ofanti-expansion essayists,
and the speeches of orators. There is
unreasoning and we might say stupidity
people of the island as a whole, are not
in instruction; that not more than one
fifth of the inhabitants of the Philip
pine archipelago are in insurrection;
that the consent Of the governed could
not be given for all by a small mi
nority.
But as a matter of fact the doctrine
of the consent of the governed never
has applied to all peoples. At the very
best it has been limited to q ma
jority, to the complete exclusion OF the
minority. In our own struggle for lib
erty there was a large and very re-
spectacle and representative minority
that resisted our effort, remained loyal
to the crown of England and suffered
bitterly in consequence.
AS a necessary preface to any re-
cognition of the voice of the governed
it must always be shown that the ma
jority of the governed demand such
recognition. Anything short of this
lands us in a confusion from which
there can be no rescue. Even as we are,
the consent of majority Of the gov
erned in our own land is not always re-
quired There are large classes whose
consent is not asked. The consent OF
those below an age arbitrarily fixed by
statute is not asked; the consent of the
women of the land is not taken into ac-
habitants but have not attained to cit
izenship is not considered; class out
lawed and deprived Of the franchise is
not asked to consent; the consent of the
| asked to the form Of government the
United States chooses to set up over
them, and in no possession we have
ever taken under our control have we
made the consent Of the governed a
condition precedent.
But SO far as the people of the Phil
| ippines are concerned the opportunity
| to consult them has not been given us,
| even if we were so minded. Aguina1do
and his crew, by precipitating a state
of war in Luzon, brought civil pro-
| cesses to standstill, and made the
| necessity for suppressing the insurrec-
ton and restoring peace to the land
the first thing to be done. When that
is accomplished there can be no doubt
whatever that to just the extent Of
their capacity the inhabitants of the ISL
ands will be consulted in all matters of
local government under, however,
our sovereignty, which has been estab-
lished by regular descent of title from
| the last recognized and dominant au-
| thority in the islands.

Free Advertising.
(From the Pasadena News,

(E'rOm the Pasadena News
This city is blessed by a legion of
good men and women and of good or
CARNATIONS, doing commendable hui
name, charity and other Christian work
They are all worthy of the splendid eff
forts and noble sacrifices being made.
That these good people and the
News may the better understand
each other we wish to say these few
words We will do all we can to aid in
such work. But our advertising space
is our means of making a living, and
the living of all those who work for US
and who must be paid regularly. Our
advertising rates Of cents a line for
reading notices and SO much for display
are living rates. You do not see news
papermen getting rich very fast at their
regular rates, do you?
Therefore, good men and women
when you plan your fairs, your bazars,
your concerts, your oyster suppers, your
pay socials, ETC., by what reasoning do
you plan that a newspaper should give
reduced rates or free notices, when the
oyster man, the ice man, the grocer, the
dry goods dealer and all the others are
paid the full amount?
Why should the newspaper man be
expected to give to every church, ev-
cry society, every order and every
cause when every other business man
has the unquestioned right and privi-
lege of only donating to those to which
he belongs or to which he is inclined
The richest people in town are not ex-
pected to donate to but small proper
ton of the good, worthy and needy
causes that come up. Why should the
overworked and poorer newspaper man
be expected to donate SO freely of that
advertising space which is his bare liv-
ing?
Ladies and gentlemen, when you are
planning your charity work it seems to
US that you should plan to pay your adj
vertising bills in full, exactly as you
plan to pay your other bills Don't
send one of your number to the business
office with a special poverty plea that
brings tears to the floor on both sides
of the counter. Contract for and pay
your advertising on a business basis.
Then give the newspaper men the same
privilege, unquestioned, of determining
to whom and in what way they can do
their share of charity work. You need
not be afraid but that they will do it,
either. 1t is no more the newspaper
mans duty to give free notices to every
thing that comes along than it is the
ice mans or the oyster Dealers duty.
Excuse this article. but it is so much
pleasanter to move along together,
friends, when we understand each
other. Isn't it? This article does not
refer to entertainments which are in no
wise money making in character.
