made several Intellectual attempts

appears that about 7 O'clock in the
morning he went into an old build

fearful cash, but failed to strike

to hang himself with btle rOpa,

floor, where he was found by his

were sum moned and sewed up the
cash in his throat and left hun do

Municipal Crookedness.

An exciting scene occurred In
Council on Thursday last during
the reading of the bills recon-
mended for payment by the FL
n ince Committee. 1t appears that
the foreman In charge of the re.
pairs on Reservoir No. 4 handed In
the bills of the men engaged in
that work at ST. SO per day each.
The bills so rendered were submit
ted to Messrs. Francis aud Lawlor,
members of the Finance Commit
tee, who endorsed them approve |.
They were then returned to the
custody of Mr.. Butler, who raised
the amount to 81 per day for earh
workman and wrote his name
above the signatures of Msssrs.
Francis and Lawlor, which gave
the report the appearance of hav-
ing been approved by those geDtle-
men also, when, in point of fact,
they had merely approved the bills
as rendered. mr.. Francis, whom
we interview ed on the subject, says
that when he called at Mr.. Buffers
to examine the bills presented, that
gentleman stated that, in his Opin-
ion, the per diem allowed the work
men was Too little, aud he thought
it ought to be increased to So per
day. To this Mr.. Francis replied
that II the men were dissatisfied
with the amount allowed them, or
the foreman had reported their
wages at q lower rate than that
agreed upon, their only redress was
to petition Council to allow them
the difference between the sum
paid and that claimed, but that the
Finance Committee had no right 10
Increase any bill ubmitted. Mr..
Lawlor, Mr.. Francis Informs us,
took the same view. Their aston
ishment and Indignation may be
Imagined when these same bills
were presented to Council with the
per diem OF the workmen increased
to So per day each, and, seemingly,
with their approval. These gentle
men at once demanded an explana-
tion from Mr.. Butler. This the
latter was unable to give, further
than to say that he thought the
men were entitled to and ought to
have, So a day, or something to
that effect. In the foregoing we
have adhered as closely as possible
to the story as told US by Mr.. Fran
els, and 0Orroborated by Mr.. Bu-

Section 2 of Article IA limits the
duration of sessions OF the Legisla-
ture to sixty days. 1 shall not insist
on the ar0unaentuns dd honsinen,,
which 80 obviously suggests itself,
that our late assembly of Benthams
exceeded their own limits by fifty
seven days, for which they expect
to be paid. But why is the duration
OF sessions to be thus curtailed? II
the object is to effect q check on
over legislation, have no hesita-
tion in asserting that this object
will not be attained. The experi-
ence of every one acquainted with
the subject will convince him that
short sessions offer no guarantee
against over legislation, while they
directly promote far worse evil,
viz, hasty legislation. We need
not 60 far to learn that the people
of California have suffered more
from crude and badly digested
laws, than from the number of
them. The Constitution, there

OF a minor evil has incurred the

the University. Now cut off our
high school, as our new Constitu.

ters of the poor are deprived of all
hope Of entering the University,
because they cannot affrd to pay

A Changers Views.

EDITOR HERALD:-AS tt seems
to have grown popular to publish
one's views as to the new Constitu.
tion now before the people, I de-
sire to follow suit and record my
self first, last and always against
its adoption. I do not wish TO dis
cuss the Constitution from any
other stand point than q business
one; but as believe all constitu-
tions are framed with view of
protecting and better promoting
the business interests of the coun-
try, this should be the proper one
to take. Lawyers, from their busi-
ness stand point, might endorse
where the producer would condemn,
and with them I can find no fault,
for they, too, are working for their
own interest, which is not that of
the business man.
My principal reason for oppos-
ing the Constitution is, first, I
can't understand it, and all the
lawyers of first.class standing
met in San Francisco, during my
late visit, are In the same sad ignO-
rance. In order that the exact
meaning of q Constitution should
he thoroughly understood, q lam
guage almost exclusively OF its
own has grown up from the oft re-
peatei interpretations OF the Su-
prene Courts throughout the land;
but, with our "new one," the lam
guage is as new as Its provisions
are sweeping. As far as the old
Constitution is concerned, we all
knew pretty we'll what 1t meant
and the business community paid
to have it interpreted. I believe
it has required So volumes Of Su-
preme Court decisions to tell US all
about the old Constitution, at u
cost of ma any millions to the peo-
Pile. God only knows how
many years, how many volumes,
aud how many millions 1t will
take from us, before we get as far
along with the new Que.
These facts / do understand of
the new Constitution are objec.
tionable to me.
As business man, and q heavy
borrower all my life, with no inter-
terests in any savings or commer-
oial bank, I necessarily want to
know how the Constitution is gO-
lug to Affect my individual inter-
est-; and as it affects me, so will it
affect all Others similarly situated.
I care not for theories or principles
Of ABSTRACT justice, that never are
reached except in the minds of
Utopian dreams. To give prac.
ticaI illustration of how the mort
gage tax law Is going to work
against me, and all others who are
unfortunate enough to owe, or who
are compelled to borrow money,
friend Of mine, who is mau of
energy and enterprise, told me
that lie has been borrowing heavi-
ly of the savings banks in San
Francisco, and of late has been
paving eight per cent. per annum
for tile mouey he has been using.
Lately, when applying to a bank tor
an accom- m odatiOn, he was told he
could have the money at the same
interest, eight per cent, providing
the Constitution was not adopted;
but, II 1t was, then they would
have to charge him eleven per
cent. per annum in order to
earn the same interest. In reply to
this he said he did not see why
they wanted to charge him
II per cent. because, II the Consti-
tuition was adopted, they would
ouly be taxed the 22 per cent, the
rate OF the city amt county tax of
