THE coxsrIrUrlosAI AMENDMENTS.


Below we give the three most important
Constitutional amendments. If persons voted
for no others, these, at least should be vote
for. They are intended to prevent appropria-
tions to sectarian purposes, and to keep sec
tarianism out of the public schools.
BY referring to the proposed amendments,
as published on our first pare and. .eonsRafine
tno printed ticket with them, voters will be
enabled to vote Understandings

President Ralston OF the Bank Of Califor-
mia, which exploded the other day ended his
career by drowning himself on Friday after
noon. lie was but As years old, and began
life as u shoemaker. In the early days OF
California he was connected with the steam
ship business, but afterwar1 went into bank
ing. In 1854 he assisted to found the Bank
of California and became It's leading manager.
He became immensely wealthy built himself
house 30 miles out Of San Francisco costing
over $1,000,000 and requiring $350,00O per
year to run it. He entertained crowds of
visitors, and lived in princely style. The
Railroads.&c. idnot suit him, and he beat the trains
by using relays Of horses. But at last the end
came and his pride had fall. The great
bank failed, from unlucky investments, and
be had to go down with it. The bank will
not be able to restore itself, millions of money
are lost, and the magnificent promoter to-day
fills the grave OF a suicide. Such is too often
the story Of the suddenly rich.

Some heavy failures occurred in different
parts of the country last week. The first
was Of the Bank of California a fiscal institu-
ton with five millions of capital, most of
which was controlled by single person. Tie
bank, it is said, will pay all its debts. This
bank has always enjoyed the highest credit,
and has never before ceased to redeem its
notes in gold. 1t was not a national bank.
This failure was followed by that of another
financial corporation in San Francisco, known
as the National Gold Bank, which is said to
have 81, 300, 900 of surplus over it's liabilities.
The cause of these suspensions is said to have
been losses by outside speculations. In Balti-
more the large sngar-importing firm of Sterl-
ing, Ahrens & Co. suspended on Wednesday,
owing, it is said, to the shrinkage in the value
of molasses. These disasters have caused
some uneasiness in financial matters, but the
disturbance is not likely to be general.

The entire history of the Charles Ross case
will be recapitulated, together, it is hoped,
with some new and interesting particulars
that may cast some light upon the fate of the
unfortunate child, in the trial of William
Westervelt, for abduction and conspiracy,
which was begun in Philadelphia on Monday.
Westervelt is believed to know all about the
matter, and it is hoped he win make a clean
breast of it all. Mr.. Ross was the first wit
ness examined, and his testimony referred en-
tirely to the history of the disappearance of
the child. A number of residents of Bay
Ridge, Long Island, including the young man
who killed Mosher and Douglas, are in at
tendance as witnesses. 1t will be a deeply
interesting trial.
