that ought to be in every State Constitution aud that is a local option seotiuD plainly indicating the right of cities aud towns to protect themselves from disorder and nuisances as they may severally SENATOR LAINE AT STOCKTON One of tho largest mee ings ever held in Sau Joaquin waa addressed at Stock-ton last uight by IIou Tbos Laine of Santa Clara who wasalso a Delegate to the late Convention Mr Laine is one of the most powerful aud effeotive speakers in the State a deep and solid thinker and au able jurist He fairly pulled the Constitutional skeleton limb from limb and exposed its rottenness as few other speakers have done He showed wherein the farmers would suiter hardships through its operations how the school system would be brolu-u down and ruiut-d the charitablo imtitutions rende red how in short all classes would suffi except Ihe large land holders and men eif capital He said the railroad companies did not oppose it because simply of tho Railroad Commission clause teeause that is as good a tiling as they would want hut because if the instrument should go into effect there would bo nothing for the railroads to carry aud they would have to go out of business Already tho bad fleets of the proposed organic law were felt in the State Business had come to a standstill aud enterprises of every description had been nipped in the bud leaving men without work for their hauds to do and capitul without employment He thought that the early pioneers of our civilization who brought California forth from barbarism into the bright fields of enlighiment who established her present Constitution uodcr which the colleges and schools of the State have flourished aud an advancement made in business that has been without a parallel should know better what is good for us than do the clai-s oi newcomers who are demanding the destruction of the present Constitution I pray said I10 theme that are cl unorou ter a change for pulling down tho grand old fabric and erecting some strange habitation ou its min-? Are they the men wliei reared the old or who have (bus built up the country? Aud I say to those men firmly bui not iu anger lav not the weight of your finger upon the old fabric to mar its strength or beauty It has sheltered me in youth To its benign and fostering strength I owe all of iiitellee-tual power or culture' I have It has sheltered my children in infancy nnd I will defend it as the Father of us all shall gi me strength agniust every foe But those clamorers are the men of yesterday the men of the Baud lets Shall we the men of the olden time who braved the terrors aud privations of the wilderness tho storms of Cape Horn aud tho pestilential vapors of the Isthmus stand idly by and see these new-comers aided by offioe speking J( magogne-s pull down our political house and destroy tho gritiel heritage of our Children? Notuul Take courago The men who had the nerve wisdom and industry to erect so grand a monument of human wisdom and power will have the courage to protect it from every assault be it of wickedness or JUDOE HOIL Of Sacranieuto aldressed a large at Susanville Lassen county last evening He mado a close analytical comparison between the present and the proposed Constitution and proved to the satisfaction of his hearers that tho latter instrument is a aciious menace to the interests and industries of tho State The inconsistencies anil injustice of the mortgage lax clause were shown to be directly against the interests of the poorer (-lasers and the Article on Revenue and Taxatiou was so explaiucd as to convince all fair-minded persons that it was full of danger to the people OTUKlt
