EVERY man who lives on the Pa
ciflc Coast should have special
good nature towards, and apprecia.
ton of, Thomas III. Benton. OF all
our statesmen he was the man who
had the most thorough apprecia-
tion of the possibilities of the Pa
cific Coast, and of the trade of In
dia and China, which will one day
make this section rich beyond the
dreams of avarice. When the Con.
stitution of the new State of Cali
f0rnia-that under which we now
Iive-was forwarded to Washing
ton, years and years ago, Col. Ben
ton rose in his place in the United
States Senate and dwelt feelingly
upon the fact that the Argonauts-
q race gathered from the four quar-
ters of the globe-a novel and men,
orable onlniuns gatheruna had col
lected themselves together and
made what was, upon the whole,
one Of the most admirable organic
laws ever formulated on the Amer
ican continent. AT the dictation
Of Kearney we have started in to
replace this splendid constitution
by one compounded of all the dis.
content and communism rampant
Ia the State, but we can't help be-
lieving that the Constitution ad.
mlred by Benton will win. II not,
why not?

gratifying manner. AT the rate at

Prof. e. s. Lippit and Hon. Byron
Waters, the latter of San Bernar-
dino county, and well known to
the people of Southern California.
1t is quite apparent that those who
suppose that this important ques-
ton will be allowed to 60 by de-
fault on the anti-Constitutlon side
are gravely mistaken. The ap-
pointments for Los Angeles county
are, for the city, on May lst, Prof.
Lippit and Hon. Byron Waters
for Santa Ana on the I'd, the same
gentlemen; for Downey City, on
the Sd. still Prof. Lippit and Hon.
Byron Waters. Mr.. Waters is one
of the fifteen embers of the Con-
stitutional Convention who de-
clined to attach their names to the
precious new document. He is a
gentleman of energy and ability
and will attract q tremendous au.
dience.
No list of speakers ever enlisted
in any cause in California hitherto
will begin to compare in ability
and eloquence with that which has
just been announced to speak
against the abortive new Constitu-
ton. Among others it includes
Hon. Tom Fitch and Ex-Governor
Woods.

A Pie~ for Life.

Wednesday pipes in very differ
ent key from that INDUCED
In by the same journal of
last week. Then 1t jauntily
ranged San Francisco against the
Pioneers Constitution by 50OO
. Now it says that "of the 1000 or
"42 900 votes likely to be polled
"Aere on the 7th of May. no man Of
ssso1nd judgment will dare give
s'less than 10000 for the new Con-
"stitution.n
And why not, quotha? Are a
people never to have a visitation of
common sense or of that sober see-
ond thought which has so often
saved Americans in the hour OF
peril. The registration in San
Francisco is within a fraction of
5000. This large figure was
brought about by the fact that
men who have not voted for the
past dozen years-1ho have scru-
pulously refrained from participat-
Ing In the disgusting squabbles of
party politics-have caught pat
riotic impulse aud have registered
themselves preparatory to casting
their vote to save the life of our
young and, until Denis Kearney
Started his barbaric, wild, "yawp,n
promising commonw ealth.
The fact Is that the man who
slpposes that of the forty-four or
forty.five thousand votes which
will be cast in San Francisco on
the 7th OF next May more than
fourteen thousand will be cast for
the Kearneyite Constitution Is
mad-yea, besotted with drooling
imbecility. On this, the correct
basis OF estimating the result in
the city of the Golden Gate, we
have the following figures: For the
new Constitution, $4,000; against,
$4,000 to $1,000; majority against
10000 to $4,000.
Thus, instead of majority o.
5000 for the new Constitution
which the Chronicle claimed last
week, it is now acquitting itself o.
a sorrowful whine which comedies
San Francisco to the partizans OF
the old Constitution by from 1901
to 1000 majority. If our calcula
tlon be the correct one, ant
we would go out and drown our
selves In the Los Angeles river il i
were not Infinitely more reliable
than that of out Golden Gate con
temporary, we have change o
twenty-six thousand votes in favo
Of the old Constitution in San Fran
cisco alone on the Chronicle table
Half the vote which will be cas-
In the State of California will b.
polled in the counties Of San Fran
cisco, Alameda, Santa Clara ant
Sacramento. In these populou
centers there will be an over
whelming majority in favor Of tn
old Constitution. The miniul
counties will reinforce it. Enougl
outside and prejudiced communi
ties cannot be drummed up in tn
rest of the State to reduce the ma
jority against the connubiators
new Constitution to less thai
twenty thousand. Though the ca
davers may gesticulate with ghast
ly and ghostly energy until thei
dry bones rattle again, that is pre-
cisely the law and the prophets o
the matter. What fine thing
is that this wholesome and victO
rious young commonwealth is a
last to be rescued from the grasp O

involving as it may the control of the Senate
two years hence, is of too much Importance
to the Democrats to permit them to stick
upon trifles in the attempt to secure it. Not
withstandng the judgment already render
ed by the Senate in the KELLOGG-SPOFFoRD
election contest-a judgment which ought
to be as irrevocable as decision OF the Su-
preme Court-the majority in the Senate has
voted to allow the Committee on Privileges
and Elections to take new testimony in the
case, and thus reopen the entire question
The only amendment admitted was that Of
fered by Mr.. HoAR, instructing the commit
tee to inquire whether bribery or other
corrupt or unlawful means were used to Sc
cure the alleged election of Mr.. SPoFFoRD. -
All efforts to confine the scope of the inves-
tigation to any new charges Of misconduct
on the part of Mr.. KELLOGG which might
render him liable to expulsion, proved fruit
less, and the Democratic majority fairly
committed themselves to the doctrine that
the Senate may decide one day that the
Senator was duly elected and the next day
that he was not.

HAVE HOPE.
BY FATHER RYAN.

The shadow of the mountain falls athwart the
lowly plain,
And the shadow OF the cloudlet hangs above the
mountains head
And the highest hearts and lowest wear the shad'
ow Of some pain,
And the smile is scarcely fitted ere the anguish
tear Is shed.
For no eyes have there been ever without weary
tear,
And those lips cannot be human which never
heaved a sigh;
For without the dreary winter there has never
been year,
And the tempest hide their terrors in the calmest
summer sky.
So this dreary life is passing-and we move amid
its maze,
And we grope along together, half in darkness,
half in light
And our hearts are often hardened by the mystic
ries OF our ways.
Which are never all in shadow and never wholly
bright.
And our dim eyes ask a beacon and our weary feet
aguide.
And our hearts of all lifes mysteries seek the
meaning and the key;
And cross CLEANS DER our pathway, on it hangs
the crucifed.
And he answers all our yearnings by the whisper
"Follow Me-
