EVERY. observant man knows
that, while there are quite a num-
Der of worthy and respectable men
in favor Of the new Constitution,
the most violent and incendlaly
elements In California stand be-
hind 1t and champion 1t loudly.
Chief of the dlsorganizers and
apostles of the doctrine Of equal
division looms up Denis Kearney-
a swearing boatswain, elevated all
at once to the leadership of great
communistic agitation. Every
Democrat who desires to stab his
party, every Republican who
thinks that Kearney breaches a
purer doctrine than Lincoln, should
vote for the new Constitution. But
no others ought to do SO. Barring
these exceptions, it should be left
to the kindly patronage of the
Sand Lots and the partIzans of the
Sand Lots who have ramified
through California. And we are
decidedly inclined to think that it
will be so left.

PLUG in . vote early against the
new Constitution aud then drum
up your friends and induce them to
80 and do likewise. Remember
that every vote cast against the
new novel In Los Angeles county
will swell the satisfactory msjori-
" by which 1t will be defeated.
That majority ought to be made
overwhelming to embody the full
measure of satisfaction which a
patriotic Californian Is entitled to
feel the day after such an election.

PORTLAND, May 6.-Henry VIII
lard has been interviewed, and
from him the following informa-
tlon has been obtained: The com.
pany, OF which Mr.. Willard is
principal, proposes to build rail
road from this city to connect with
the Utah Northern road, and by
that with the Central Pacific at
Ogden, Utah. The road Is to be
commenced at q point east of the
mountains and built eastward. Mr..
Willard spoke freely on the subject.
stating that the preliminary work
would be commenced imm ediately,
and that 1t was intended to put the
road through without other delay
than the necessary time required
In selecting a route. H. Nelson,
the well known civil engineer, who
has heretofore been prominently
connected with railroad construcs =
tion in this State, has been engaged
to examine the country south and
east of Walla Walla, through
which the road will pass, and hav-
ing selected the route IN general
way, will have charge of the iE-
strumental surveys and the work
Of construction. In company with
Mr.. Willard he will go to Walla
Walla on tour of general exam
ination, which will probably occu-
py two months. 1t is proposed to
complete the surveys and COM
mence work this season.

The Examiner said recently:


1t is KeaIney's Constitution. 1.-The car
lies 1t, the triumph Will be his; his party
will bo the dominant party. and, at
the ensuing election, all the loose voters
will float over to the, e,strongest party. IL
Is much to be feared-it is almost GER
every once in the State will be filled
next Fall from the Sand Lots.
The Mendocino Democrat, of
which Alexander Montgomery Is
editor, quotes that, and thus pro-
tests:
We're astonished at the remarks of the
cally the correctness ofthis position. The
new Constitution Is supported largely by
men-very. many meu, hostt OF NEIL
who desire no affiliation with Kearney,
and will have none of It. What do the
voters OF MendOcinO county care for
kearneyf Not whit. As a ruler they
all look upon him with distrust, disgust
or contempt. A few may stand by him
and speak In his favori but 1t strikes us
man" ought to be exhibited as q curios
ity.
Notwithstanding the objection,
the Examiner was right. The
farmers of Mendocino county may
dislike Kearney, but their feeling
will not control the nomination
Of the State ticket. The same ,om-
bination which controlled the Con-
vention and framed the Constitu-
tion would, presumptively, carry
the September election, and desig-
nate all the State officers. The Kear-
neyites have the largest body of
voters in this combination, and
unnld pofnrallu Ian,ond on.l nat
the Governor, the Legislature, and
the best part OF the local offices in
many Of the wealthiest counties.
If Mr.. Montgomery cannot forsee
such result, he Is blind, POLITICAL
ly. That is the best we can say
for him. under the circumstances.
With the Legislature and the Gov
ernor, the Kearneyites could au-
thorize Kearney to appoint the
officers in the counties which de-
feated his ticket. To the victors
belong the spoils.-.S. r. Alta.

an adept at piling up figures of

"The man with the gold tooth"
is at present the terror of the from
tier. His name Is Middleton, and
he is 50 years old. He began his ca.
reer as an outlaw in 1877, at Sid.
ney, Neb., where he killed a man
and was convicted of murder. He
escaped from Sindey, organized
band of robbers, plundered, burned,
and murdered, until the fall of
1877, when he was lodged in Jail,
only to tunnel himself out with
coal scuttle. Re-organizing with so
men he stole 5000 head Of cattle
from the Ponoa Indians. The rob-
hery of q German settlement on
the Elkhorn led to hot pursuit by
squad of hersemen. The trail was
followed for three days. On
the morning of the fourth
day, the Germans awoke to find
their pickets murdered and every
horse stolen. Middleton gets his
sobriquet from front upper tooth
made entirely of gold. He is six
feet tall, and wears a flrece black
moustache, under which the tooth
sh mes like grain of corn. Two
needle guns, four revolvers, and
two dirks make up his armament. t.

NEW YORK. May 5th.-The Com

fate of the California hoodlum Con-
stitution will be decided to- o-morrow,
CuriOusly enough all tire lawyers
are supporting 1t. The explanation
Of this is that it will help their
business. The reason Is that il the
Constitution is adopted 1t will
bring about so many liquidations,
so many foreclosures of mortgages,
and so many compulsory transfers
of property from the relatively
poor to the rich, that lawyers can
not fail to be benefited; also many
large land holders favor it, for the
simple reason that as the State
will have to sectIoniZs their land
before taxing them, and as the ex.
pense of such sectioning will prob
ably prevent its being done for
sOtne considerable time, they may
look forward to several years of
quiet enjoyment without the an
noyance of taxpayers and AS
SCISSORS.

emption of Chinese from all tax

There are, he said, eight churches
In his diocese, but they are spread
over q territory of a thousand
miles or more. He will reside per.
manently in San Francisco, and
will visit different parts of his
diocese as often as possible. The
See OF Alaska contains about 1000
Russians, Servians, Montenegrins
and other communicates of the
Oriental Church, and it Is the only
district On this continent which
contains any considerable number
OF such church members. The
Bishop takes one priest with him
to the Pacific Coast. At s o'clock
