To H H Ellis Chief of Police OF tks
tity and Co1uty OF San Franciseo-Sir:
We wish to call your attention TO the
TACT that at the presen. time frequent
and unprovoked assaults are made upon
our Chinese people, while walking
peacefully the streets of this city. The
assaultiEg party Is seldom arrested by
your officers. but IL q Chinanlan resists
the assault he is frequently arrested aud
punished by fine or Imprisonment. In
tismmatory and incendiary addresses
against the Chinese, delivered on the
public streets to the idle and irresponsi-
Die element of this great city, have al
ready produced unprovoked and un-
punished assaults upon some OF
our people, and We feel that if such
things are permitted 70 so on IN
checked bloody riot against the Chi
nese may be the result. RegreftinS that
the Chinese are so obnoxious to citizens
of this country, and quite willing to aid
in seeking repeal or modification of
the existing treaty between China and
the United States, yet being here under
sacred treaty stipulations. We simply
ask 10 be protected in our treaty rights.
Respectfully submitted.
Signed TIE SIX COMPANIES.
This very mildly represents the real
state of affairs. The fact is the hood
lum element of San Francisco is too
powerful TO lie defed. Indeed there are
too many Us and Macs on the Board o.
Supervisors for any strenuous efforts TO
suppress lawlessness which is popular
and unattended with serious dangers to
the perpetrators. The Democratic party
of California, after having given the
Central Pacific Railway Company a re-
newal of its license 20 plumber the State,
are fifty represented by a Board Of
County Supervisors who, in order to
crafty the internal passions OF cow
ardly mob, pass IN o-dinance-as they
did on Monday niSht-;o cut Of the
4ueues OF all Cinnamon who are al
rested mot consicted} and taken TO Jail.
When did these Drawing mobs made
from the slums and scourings OF Euro
pean cities ever fail 10 show their cru
lty toward any weaS or non-resistant
neopie within their reach? They muir
..ered-the bowling beasts-more than |
n thousand helpless, peaceful American |
born colored mes in the streets OF New |
York in 1868, and Horatio Seymour got |
up and called the numbering rabble his !
friends. Pa aObue .fratr'nHt The ad- |
aress We speak of as having been made
hy the Chinese companies of San Fran
cisco few years ago reads, in part, as
follows:
We wish now to ask the American
people to remember that the Chinese IN |
this country have been for the most part
peaceable and industrious. They have
kept no whisky saloons, and have had
no drunken brawls, resulting In man
slaughter and murder. They have tOiled
patiently to build your railroads, to aid
IN harvesting your fruits and grain, and
To reclaim your swamp lands. Our pres
ence and laber on this coast We believe
have made possible numerous manufae-
turing interests which without us could
not exist on these shores In the min
ing regions our people have been salts
lied with claims deserted by the white
miners.
As q people we have the reputation
even here and now of paying faithfully
our rents, our taxes and our debts.
In view of all these facts we are con-
