IT seems strange that n document so
simple, plain and comprehensive as the
new Constitution should require so much
explanation and defense. Nearly third
of the whole number Of delegates who
framed it have either published cards, or
been interviewing on the subject, even
after the fun and FREQ explanation and
defense of the taxpayers. Why can not
these gentlemen mind their business?
Their part of the work is done, and it
remains for the people to accept or reject
it, and this can be done without so much
special pleading in its favor.-SdH Jose
Mercury.

WITHOUT CoURTs.-Among other
grave charges which the late Convention
subjected itself to is that ofgross careless
ness. The New Constitution, if adopted
will go into effect on the frat day OF Janu-
AIRY 1880 at moon, and by section 3 of
Article NXII "All Courts, now existing,
save Justices and Police Courts are abol
ished.' The new Judicial Officers will not
taGe their places until the first Monday
in January. Thus, through careessness
and neglect on the part Of the Convention,
the State of California will be without
any Courts, above The Justices and Po-
lice Courts, from the 1st to the 9th day
Of January, 1880. Close study and com,
psrison will reveal other equally brilliant
provisions in this good (?) Constitution
which 152 men were Isl days in framing.
Read it carefully and sec for yourself.
Should ii be adopted?

WEBB HAYES likes a joke, and it is
said of him that, at a reception not long
since, he pulled his hat down over his
eyes, buttoned his coat about him to dis
guise himself, and, falling into the line
that was moving on TO grasp the
Hayes hands, took his mother by the
hand, and said, in loud voice, "God
bless you, madam, for your adherence to
the temperance cause" Mrs Hayes
showed no sign of recognition, and Webb
is yet unable to tell whether his mother
knew him or not.

WATT BLUE GRAVEL NINE CLOSED
DowN.-At meeting Of the Board Of
Directors Of the Watt Gravel mine. held
on Friday last, it was determined to sus-
pend operations. The reason for this ac-
ton is stated by one of the directory to
be from several causes, viz: The late
decision of Judge Keyser, unfavorable to
mining the personal liability clause Of
the new Constitution as regards directors
of incorporated companies and the gen.
eral unfriendiiness Of that instrument TO
the business of mining and the consequent
encouragement to capital TO invest In .he
business. In view OF these discourage
ments the Directors deemed it best TO
await the action of the people upon the
new Constitution before adding TO their
already large outlay upon this property.
If the Constitution is adopted tho mine
will remain shut down indefn ntely-if
not, work will be resumed in due season.
Tho company has valuable plant Of ma
ehinery, has done large amount of work
in the way Of development, and has a
good fund of money on hand, but it ia not
disposed to take any more chances in the
present unsettled conditions, where capt
tai is threatened to be deprived of all
protection. The stopping of ths mine
will throw number of men out of en-
ployment, and give discouragemont to
prospecting in that portion of the county,
which has been greatly stimulated by this
enterprise, and which has been carried on
with the money of Grass Valley and San
Francisco men.-G1oSS Valley Unfon,

CHILDREN are children as kittens are
kittens. A sober, sensible old cat, that
sits purring before the fire, does not trou-
BILE herself because hor kitten is hurrying
and dashing here and there in fever of
excitement to catch its own tail. She
sits still and purrs on. People should do
the same with their children. One Of the
difficulties of home education is the i'm
possibility of making parents keep still;
it is with them, out Of their affection, all
watch and worry.

THE QUESTION OF ECONOMY. Those
who desire the success of the New Con-
stitution affect to believe that the cost Of
running the State, Government will be
much less than under the present Con.
stitution. This is one of the most pow
erful arguments, apparently, that has
been used IN It's favor. Like many other
statements to :he same purpose, it is ex-
plo ded upon investigation. A corres>
pondentof the Record Union in an ex>
haustive comparison shows conclusively
that not only will the cost not be less
under the new but that il will be more.

The Prosperity In rrnue.

From the Chicago Times.
Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt said, not long ago,
that activity in the iron trade was not the
cause but the consequence of prosperity.
1t resulted from IN increased demand for
iron, and the increased demand resulted
from increased prosperity. The people
required more iron, and were able to pay
for it, because they were prosperous Mr..
Hewitt was mistaken, it seems, in his pre-
diction that pig iron would not advance
much beyond $50 per ton, but he was not
mistaken in saying that the improvement
in the iron industry was a consequence
and mark Of prosperity. The very fact
that iron has advanced far beyond his ex.
pectation only shows that he underesti.
mated the demand, and the prosperity OF
which II is an index. The evidence OF
the bettered condition OF things afforded
by the state OF the iron industry is con.
firmed blythe testimony OF merchants in
our principal cities. They assure US that
the improvement extends to every branch
OF trade. They report general demand
for better class Of goods ut better prices,
and satisfactory prOmptness in making
payments. They regard the basis OF the
improvement as sound, and confidently
predict long period of solid prosperity

perfectly satisfied with the governmental
situation. Neither Legitimist banquets,
the wild diatribes Of extreme journalists,
or idle discussion Of the probabilities OF a
restoration Of the Monarchy, disturb the
serenity OF those in authority. Foreign
relations are entirely satisfactory. France
is now, and will remain, herown mistress;
and the suggestion Of military alliance
with Russia Is strongly discountenanced
by those having right to speak for the
country. The Legitimist agitators are dis.
couraged by the fact that the Pope has
peremptorily declined to participate in, or
in any manner countenance, their schemes
forthe restoration Of the Monarchy. :
