''For what avail is plough or sail,

It is a lamentable fact that as time
takes Us further away from the Declaration of
of our fellow men seems to increase. Hence
there are thousands in this country who would
to-day welcome an empire, if they were as
sured that it would trample down the rights
of everyone but themselves. We cannot, there
fore, loo often recur to the meaning of our in. :.
stitutions-the sense of justice, of fair play,
of equal rights, of respect for the humblest-

Owing to the races advertised to

was not as large an attendance as
was expected last Sunday at the
italian Benevolent Society's pic

that attended have reason to con-
gratulate themselves on having
spent an enjoyable day. There
were the usual outdoor sports, and

who delivered q speech of some
length in Italian. Master Antonio

then stepped forward and delivered

tanned these, L should vote for it,
But it does not.
wanted an amendment prohib-
itlng the Legislature from appro-
prlating peoples funds for other
than the legitimate expenses of the
State government.
The first part Of section %, arti.
Gle a, of the new Constitution, was
what the masses wanted. 1t com.
pletely locked the treasury against
all jobs. But the latter part of the
same section opens the treasury
vaults for all sorts of donations;
first, for orphans; second, half or.
phans; third, abandoned children
fourth, aged persons and INDECENT
persons, and it permits all cities
towns, churches and organizations
who have contributed to the aid OF
such persons to make out their &C.
counts and present them and have
the money refunded. Here is an
opening for an immense business
San Francisco and Los Angeles eau
exhaust the treasury of the State
in one season.
We wanted a definite law to con
troll railroads. The Convention
finding themselves inadequate tt
the task, proposed to farm the jot
out to three gentlemen, allowing
them to make the laws.
The taxing OF mortgages ant
notes was all right; but we wanted
in connection with that, law oil
usury to prevent the rich from de
manding from the poor an exor
bitant interest. This new Consti
tuition leaves the borrower at tn,
mercy of the lender. The horrowe
must pay tho taxes all the same.
We wanted O definite law to con
troll land monopolies; but the la,

land-holder. It Is altogether owing
at which end the Assessor begins
whether he will hurt either very
much. 1t is all in his hands, as it
always has been.
Every man who voted for the
Convention was influenced to do
so because he wanted some positive
laws on the items above men

Indeed, every paper in the State
that advocated the Convention
mentioned these items as the only
ones that required positive amend.

to the voters that the Convention
failed in every instance to come up
to the mark as they had promised,
and as we expected. "We asked

| say we will not receive iJ. Ii we
adopt this Constitution we do not
get what we want, and it Will re-
quire a generation for US TO get an
other Convention, or even to get an
amendment. As the Constitution
now stands q majority of the Legis.
lature can order an election or an
amendment; but, ii the new Con-
stitution is adopted, itrequires two
thirds to order an amendment.
Three or four amendments is all
that we require, and we certainly
can elect Legislature, O majority
of whom will order just what we
want, and the people will adopt 1t.
But they will not vote for this one,
and thertby cut themselves off
from all hope of getting change.

Burglars at Work.

During the past ten days a num-
ber of burglaries have been COM
mitted in this city. First, the res.
idence of Col. J. J. Ayers. in East
Los Angeles,was entered and fine
meerschaum pipe and small sum
of money stolen. Last Friday the
room occupied by Messrs. f. w.
Wood and Frank A. Gibson,
in the. Mcdonald Block, was
entered and Mr.. Gibson's watch,
which was lying on table, carried
off. His pantaloons We're also
taken, the pockets rifled and the
garment left in the hall. At this
place the thief overlooked sum of
money belonging to Mr.. Wood that
was lying beside the watch. On
the following night the shutters
of Mr.. Lynch's room on Fort
street were opened, his pantaloons
and vest taken and, after being RI
fled of So or Sc, were thrown on
the porch. On the same night the
pantaloons of DR.. kirkpatrick, who
lives on Franklin street, were alb
stracted from his room and gone
through, the thief getting about ST
for his pains. The pantaloons were
then thrown on to the roof of the
kitchen, where they were found
the next morning. Constable
Hare's clothes were also gone
through in the same way, the rob-
ber or robbers getting but n few
dollars, and. rs in the other cases,
leaving the clothes. The victims
in these cases must all have been
sound sleepers or the thieves have
been very expert at their business.
We would suggest to the author
tiles that, as there are q number of
suspicious looking characters
known to be in the city, few ar
rests would perhaps have O salutary
effect. 1t would at least show
them that they were suspected and
| be the means of driving them
to seek a new field of operations.
