THE vide diversity OF opinion respect
ing the merits and demerits of the pro-
posed new Constitution for California,
can only be accounted for upon the hy-
pothesis that the views expressed re-
garding it are merely the reflection of
personal bias or prejudice. as the
instrument might favornbly or un-
favorably affect individual inter.
ests or ambitions more than the
result Of a profound study of the
provisions of the proposed organic law
Of the State. with view of ascertaining
whether its adoption or rejection would
best promote the general welfare. its
adoption would certainly uproot many
long established practices, aud to deter
mine whether these radical changes
would prove more advantageous to the
great majority Of the people, regardless
OF its effect upon individual interests, is
the consideration which should alone
govern the action Of the voters at this
important junctuIe. With the excep-
tion Of the Chronicle, the press Of san
Francisco, is almost unit in its oppo
sition to the new measure, but many of
the journals, and those too, Of ability
and influence in other portions OF the
State, as staunchly advocate it. In
discussing the subject. the Los Angeles
ErPTtss gives utterance to the following
positive language:
"By the adoption OF the new consti-
tuition the State will start out on a new
era Of prosperity. Taxes will be
equalized, the railroads will be brought
under fair and equitable rules, banks
will be restored to public confidence,
individual eIertion will be encouraged.
laws will be enacted in tho interests OF
the people, Legislative lobbying AMI
corruption will be done away with,
stock gambling will be discouraged. our
harbors and navigable streams will be
accessible, the great railroad monopoly
will be prevented from crushing out
fair competition, and principles OF
equity and justice will be guaranteed
to all men. We will not then present
the marine spectacle OF tho yoracious
Inhabitants Of the deep swallowing up
the smaller ones in detail. Tho pro.
cess OF absorption Of the wealth
Of the State by q favored few will
be stopped. und Oach man knowing that
he will enjoy the first fruits OF his own
labor will become potent factor in the
progress und prosperity Of the State"

above where the skeleton was found was
discovered paper parcel. 1t contained
bank notes to large amount, and an |.
o. U. for e1 900 signed by Christopher
Ainslie and addressed to Sir James Mar
ston. 1t bore date August II, 1910, the
II written over the figures Is.
Thus was this very extraordinary mvs-
terry satisfactorily cleared up. Mr.. Aims
lies story was undoubtedly true, and
Cooley was the real perpetrator of the
crime. Ainslie, conscious of his own
wicked designs, denied having accompa-
MED Sir James to the study or borrowed
money from him ON the night OF the
murder, but the l. 0. q. showed that
such was the case, and that first having
dated it August Is, Sir James had proba-
bly, reminded him that it was past mid
night, and so he changed it to II. God
ley might have seen Ainslie get the
money from Sir James, but the |. o. T..
could have told the story. 1t is Gle #
that after Ainslie returned the umbrella
to the stand, Cooley, who without doubt
knew it bore concealed weapon, used it
to do the tai deed.

A comical incident is related by the
New Haven Register at the expense of a
young lawyer who recently drew some
papers for which a young lady from the
rural districts was required to append
an affidavit. The papers had been pre-
pared and the attorney said: "Please
raise your right hand and make oath"
Up went the fair hand and its fair owner
was ready for the legal form, but the at
torney had for an instant his attention
distracted, and the lady impatient at the
delay, broke the silence which prevailed
by saying: "Damn it," She then said
quietly and demurely: "There, ! believe
my duty is DONE" The effect was rather
startling on the attorney, who didn't
know whether the words contained re-
proof, were uttered in jest, or, through
ignorance, were supposed to be the ne
ccssary oath. When he noticed a roguish
twinkle in her eye, all doubts were dis
PEELED, however, particularly when the
lady and her companion broke into q
hearty laugh, and the companion, also a
lady, added: "Oh the monster: Did
you hear her? She said damme, she said
dammep That settled it, and after a
hearty laugh all around, the regulation
oath was administered.
