WE were aDxiour to try the experiment
of non partisan action in the matter Of the
Constitutional Convention, and while we
are wholly disappointed, yet we must say
that it has shown that the people care but
very little for their political welfare. A
little political fight for Constable, when
the party leaders should take hand,
would have brought out pretty good
vote in either of the nine counties that
were not represented at Marysville. And
yet the selection ofdelegates to form the
fundamental law of the land, is the most
important matter that can come before
the people. We do hope to see the peo-
pie turn out on the day of the election
and vote. Let them show that they take
some interest in the affair, and that
American politics is not all mere scram-
Bile for the spoils. Are the people mere
pawns upon the chess board, to be moved
around by those who seek to win the
game? Think! Acti-COlusa Sun.

WE do notapprove of the action ofany
party placing in nomination candidates
for the Constitutional Convention, because
they are members of their particular par
ty. The instrument to be framed is for
the government of the a0ho{e people and
not for party, and the party that shall
take such action and elect their partisans
and make Constitution, may not be the
party in power when the Constitution be-
comes the fundamental law of the land, ,
and consequently their efforts then las n
partisan move) would prove abortive, and
they would only furnish their opponents n
club to beat out their OWE political brains.
We mention this for the benefit of that
political class Of domagogues who are
more afraid of what might happen them
than they are of what might happen the
State at large, and not as a warning to
the great majority of the people who favor
non partisan Constitutional Convention.

THE Democrats hold n State Conven-
ton, and invite people Of all parties to
send delegates, yet in their county con
venilons they do not extend the same in
vitation, but make partisan call and
partisan selections, regardless of merit
II the Democratic State Central Commit
tee mean what is stated in their call, we
fail to understand why joint convention
was not agreed upon when proposed by
the Republican State Central Committee.
We do not care who is elected, whether
Democrat or Republican, if an effort is
made to give us a good constitution, free
from partsanism or political jobbing.- -
We are satisfied that if the old politicians,
always hunting for Office, gain control of
the convention, that measures for person
al benefit will be adopted in place OF pub
lie benefit. If so the constitution when
submitted will be overwhelmingly de-
feated regardless of the cost IN ordering q
convention. lTekd Joulmdi.

THE N0N-PARTIsAN TICKET

At the head of our editorial columns
this week we present the names of the
non-partisan nominees of the Second
Congressional District, in addition tc
those of the First and Third Districts
published last week. The additional
names are the candidates for Delegates to
the Constitutional Convention nominated
by the Citizons' Convention which as
sembled at Sacramento on Monday May
goth, and nre as follows: II. II. Iaight,
Dem, of Alameda, Walter Van Dyke,
Rep, of Alameda, Henry Egerton, Rep,
Of Sacramento, Hugh NJ. Larue, Dem,
of Sacramento, j. B. Hall, Dem, of San
joaquin, Rufus Shoemaker Dem, Of Ne
vada, j. L. Halle, Rep, Of Placer, and
j. NJ. Porter, Rep, of Amador. Every
one of the nominees is SO well known
through the whole length and bread tn of
the State that any reference to them per-
sonally in our columns would seem super
tluous. That they are honorable, capable
men is acknowledged on all sides and
that each Of them is peculiarly adapted
from long experience and special training
an the law and practical pursuits, to the
work of Constitution making, is equally
apparent. The Thirty-two Delegates at
Large will be completed by the the nom
inations to be made by the Fourth Dis
trict Convention which meets at San
Jose on the 30th instant. Let that Con-
vention place in the field eight men as
good as those selected by the other Dis
tricts and the success Of the non partisan
ticket should be assured.
One !hing which is to be guarded
against by the honest, intelligent voters
OF the State in this Constitutional Con-
rention election is an apathy which
is already apparent. Citizens are
too liable to give quasi endorsement
10 the non partisan nominations where an
active, warm support is needed. The
ticket in the rural Districts will probably
have little if any opposition on election
day, and therein lies the danger. With
out opposition there is lack of cnthu-
siasm, and without enthusiasm there is a
lack of that interest which brings out
full vote. In San Francisco and the cities
and counties clustering around the bay
the kcarneyites are we'll organized and
VII poll strong vote for those who re-
ceive the support of the leaders of that
movement. TO offset this element and
secure the services of the best men in the
Constitutional Convention is what is re-
Gured of the outside counties. Every
voter should remember that the Thirty
two Delegates Largo are to be voted
for all over the State, and vote for the
Citizens Ticket in Trinity County counts
as much against Communism as though
IL was cast in San FRANCISCO. The cleo
ton will be held on Wednesday, June
10Th, and it is hoped that polls will be
opened in every precinct and full vote
secured. Leading men of all political
shades should make il their business to
SEQ that every voter is at the polls on that
day. With a full vote there is no danger.
The election of the Citizens Non -Parti-
.an Ticket will be certain.

Put it i'm Writing.

Business carried on verbally sometimes
answers every purpose, but in many cases
it is inoxpedient and frequently results in
trouble and litigation. Put all contracts
in writing and take receipts for all moneys
paid out, however trifling the amount may
be. Many misunderstanding result from
the loose way in which important business
matters are talked over, and after each
party has put his or her own construction
ON the contract the matter is dropped
with the expression Of "all right from
each. In many cases it proves call
wrong" and affords a job for lawyers,
juries and courts. Ifpeople persisted in
putting their agreements in writing
much useless litigation could be avoided
When reduced to writing ideas arc fixed

An Arizona Incident.

An interesting story comes from Ar
iona. Kellogg and Carter owned a
mining claim, and foolishly quarreled
about it. Kellogg was man Of few
words; eight and free was his touch
upon his revolver" With little ado, he
fired at his partner, and supposed that
he had sent bullet into his breast; but,
behold Carter was a good young man,
and had a Bible in the pocket of his
gray working shirt. Tie ball struck
upon the sacred book, its course was
turned, and Carter was unhurt. Then
the good young man whipped out his
cleaning bowie-knife, sprung upon kel-
logg, and carved him so artistically that
his hold upon his revolver relaxed, and
he was like to die. The good young
man stanchcd his opponents wound, and
rode away for physician, returning
within fwenty-four hours, having made a
total distance OF over ninety miles. hel-
logg is recovering. Carter, to avoid ar
rest, sought to cross the river, and this
time the Bible didn't save him. He
was drowned. The moral Of this recital
is very intricate But it is plain that
Carter wasn't born to be hanged.

The 8ulletiu.
Sharp Tactics.

The proverbial smartness Of Philadel-
phia lawyers is fast being cast in the
shade. Here is an example Of Illinois
tact transplanted to Kansas: Some time
ago the citizens of Mendoza were sur
prised to learn that a married couple,
who had apparently lived in peace and
harmony in Illinois, had been divorced in
Kansas. The mystery is now explained.
The husband had homesteaded one hun
dred and sixty acres Of fine farming land,
and there was another one hundred and
sixty acres adjoining not yet taken up.
The pair were divorced, the widow en-.
tered the vacant quarter section and es-
tablished her claim as the head of a
family. When this was done the pair
were remarked, and they now have a
fine farm Of half section.

The True Gentleman.

He is above low act. He cannot
stoop to commit fraud, He invades
no seret in the keeping of another. He
takes selfish advantage of no mans mis-
takes. He uses no ignoble weapons in
controversy. lie never stabs in the
dark. He is not one thing to mans
face and another to his back. If by &C.
cident he comes into possession Of his
neighbours counsels, he passes them into
instant oblivion. He bears sealed pack
ages without tampering with the wax.
Papers not meant for his eye, whether
they futter in at his window, or be
open before him in unregarded exposure,
are secret to him, He profanes no pri-
yacy of another, however the sentry
sleeps. Bolts and bars, locks and keys,
bonds and securities, notices to trespass-
crs, are not for him. He may be trusted
out of sight--near the thinnest partition
anywhere. He buys no Office, he sells
none, intrigues for none. He would rath-
CIR fail of his rights than win them
through dishonor. lie will eat honest
bread. He tramples on no sensitive
feelings. He insults no man. If he
has rebuke for another he is straight
forward, open and manly. He cannot
descend to scurrility. Billingsgate does
not lie on his track. OF woman, and to
her, he speaks with deccncy and respect.
In short, whatever he judges honorable
he practices toward every one. lie is
not always dressed in broadcloth. "Some
people" says II distinguished bishop,
