A Writer who Advocates Change in the

A Writer who Advocates a Change In the
Constitution of the State.
Editor WODdn'S Column, Morning Cali:
I believe that women think that the Consti-
tuition and the Government in general is very
difficult to understand. On the contrary it
is hot, and foreigners say that ours is the
simplest form of government in the world.
But surely women need not be ashamed OF
their ignorance when men whose business it
is to understand the Government confess
that they do not know anything about it.
When the Constitution was first framed
Alexander Hamilton and John Jay deemed
it necessary to write essays for the purpose
of explaining and defending it. Who shall
say that the same course is not necessary
now? But whether men need to learn or
| not women must learn. since in the order OF
Providence we have to come prepared TO
give our support to the Government.
| saw q sweet young lady this morning,
| the daughter of a distinguished educator.
| and the mother told me that her daughter
| was engaged in looking up the State laws
| relating to women III order that she might ini-
prove on them. That is the same old story
trying to improve the laws of a State that
| holds the women in bondage. Was ever
| such folly known? To what can we com-
| pare it?
Generations of women have worn out
| their lives trying to induce men to make
| laws favorable to women, but all to no pur-
pose; therefore, women, give up the fond
illusion that you can. Those who would
be free must strike the blow" Let me
| point out the place where to strike that
| blow-nOt al the State laws, but at the Con-
stitution, the State Constitution, which de-
clares in the qualification for voters that all
male citizens with eerta n reStrictiOns) who
are twenty-one years of age, ETC., shall have
| the right to vote. In that clause is all our
| disability. Let the women assert their
| rights, and with one united effort strive to
| have this blotch removed from our Cunsti-
| tuition. When they accomplish that they
will have the power to help make the laws
and see that they are enforced. NJ. b.

Slowly Dragging Along Before the Judi

The Ellis investigation was resumed in
Calvary Church at $3.50 o'clock Yesterday
morning. and the session was continued till
l o'clock 1t has been decided to hold only
one session each day in the future, and thus
save the time which is wasted in the prelim-
mary proceedings.
I Three more members OF the court the
Rev. A. Fairbairn of East Oakland. the

| Hurd of Concord, were excused from further
attendance.
The court is now reduced to sixteen voting

will have 10 proceed.
About an hour was taken up In reading
| the transcript of the evidence of the Rev
| H. II. Rice and Hugh Fraser, who signed it
| after few slight alterations mad been made
Then DIR. EaSton was placed on the stand
and questioned with regard to declarations
made by DR.. Ellis TO the special committee
| on February 10th last. Dr. Ellis asserted
most emphatically that all the bills in his
| itemized statement were paid, with the eX-
| ception of S24 or so. This statement i'm
| pressed itself upon the witness because he
| knew that all the bills had not been paid
DR.. Ellis wanted to know whether any
| statement had been made to him at the COM
mittee meeting by which he could know that
| complaints OF his conduct had been made to
| the committee. DR.. EastUn replied that DR..
Ellis might have gathered that an investiga-
ton into his conduct was being held by the
| character of the questions which were put
| to him. The committee treated DR.. Ellis as
an innocent man. 1t was the duty of the
| presbytery to declare him guilty or not
| guilty. Every latitude was given to him to
explain his case 20 the committee.
1t came out in the cross-examinatlon that
DR., Easton knew of unpaid bills of DIR. Ellis
at Chico. This knowledge the witness had
obtained from his correspondence.
The Rev. DR.. Chapman and the Rev. j.
NJ. Thompson gave corrObOrative testimony
as to the conversation which passed between
DR.. Ellis and DR.. Easton at the committee
meeting.
