Worthless Argument.

The Common Council and a few of
those who see things through Council
glasses are laboring to create an inn
preston on the public mind that the
provisions of the law creating Board
of Public Works making it three
years before the entire Board will be
elected by direct vote ofthe people,
is an infringement on the rights OF
citizens and great wrong. We can
not see the force of the argument.
The law wisely provides that at least
two members of the Board shall be fa-
miliar with the business in hand. In
order to secure this it was necessary
that the term of office of but one mem
her of the Board should expire at a
time. If the appointing power had
been given to the Council the same
course would have been pursued and
the three years would have expired
before the whole Board would have
been elected by direct vote. Had the
appointing power been vested in the
Council it is possible we should not
have heard so much about this "terri-
BILE outrage" tbs all right while the
leaders of the Council have it all their
own way, but the moment the dicta-
ton of these gentlemen is unheeded
it is all wrong and cry louder than
sensible is raised. The tax payers of
this city are content with the law and
the appointees of the Governor. They
do not hesitate to express the belief
that the operations of the Board cam
not but be an improvement on the old
regime. They say any change will
be for the better, and this general ex-
preston has an exasperating effect on
the gentlemen who have heretofore
managed our city Improvements SO
independently and arbitrarily.

Our Congressman.

The Democrats of this District should
nominate Congressman WIGGINToN
for reelection. He has proven HIM
self faithful servant, an able repre-
sentative and an honor to his constit-
uency. AS he has thus far discharged
his whole duty let us reward his fidel-
ity with renewal of our confidence
in his integrity. In no part of the
State is progress and improvement
making more rapid strides than the
portion represented by WIGGINToN.
This improvement will continue. At
tracted by our rich soil and salubrious
climate, the stream of wealth and
population is settling this way and in
little time Southern California will
compare favorably with the central
part of the State in wealth, population,
products and general resource. The
future of a locality depends to a great
extent on the start it gets in the race
for preeminence and this start is good
or bad in accordance with the ability
and fidelity or weakness and cupidity
the section is represented in Congress.
No people ON the Pacific Coast should
be more careful in the selection of
their Congressman than those of
Southern California. We are fortu-
nate in now having representative
of ability, energy and integrity-a
man whose honesty of purpose and
convincing eloquence commands the
respect of those with whom he is as
sociated and enables him to WELD a
powerful influence for our good. 1t Is
for the interest of all Southern Cali
fornia to retain Mr.. WIGGINTON in
Congress and hence we say it is the
plain duty of the Democracy of this
District to nominate him for re-elec-
tiOn.

The Law of 1t.

The Express tells us the Council will
continue to exercise the functions in
vested by law in the Board of Public
Works and thus impose the task of de-
termining the constitutionality of the
law on the members of the Board.
This would be singular proceeding.
The City Attorney has already decid-
ed that the law renders illegal any act
Of the Council touching duties named
as those of the Board of Public Works,
and if he is correct any attempt on
the part of the Council to usurp those
functions would be trespass on the
property of citizens affected thereby,
and would of course be treated as such,
thus entailing on the members of the
Council, as private individuals only,
innumerable suits for damages. The
parties having reasonable grounds for
testing the constitutionality of the
law creating Board of Public Works
are those financially affected by the
official proceedings of the Board, and
in such case the Board acting in ac-
cordance with the law would have a
right to defend the action at the ex-
pense of the city. Such right is not
possessed by the Council. The men,
bers of that body cannot contest the
case at the expense of the taxpayers
and an attempt on their part to do so
would be followed by immediate en-
joinment. Their appeal to the courts

Now, therefore, by virtue of the law, and the

and during BooTH's term irregulari-
ties were unearthed which have since
sent one of the Commissioners to the
State prison. These circumstances
impressed upon Governor IRWIN the
Importance of selecting such Com
missioners as were both capable and
honest. He did not ask how long and
how strong an applicant had been
Democrat. He sought to know if the
man understood the duties of the po-
sition and if he was honest enough to
perform them. When he had found
a sufficient number of applicants
whom he believed to possess these
qualifications he appointed them Har-
Dor Commissioners. They are, we be-
lieve all Democrats though not profess
sional politicians. If they meet the
Governors expectations we predict
the people will not regard it griev-
Gus offense that the places were not
filled by ward politi clans.

and the costs and fees paid from theil
private means. They have not the
color of the law under which to act,
while the fact that the law creating a
Board of Public Works is law until
the Supreme Court decides it uncon-
stitutional, empowers the Board to
proceed in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Act, and to defend all
attempts at infringement on or usur-

San Francisco News.

SAN FRANCISCO, April Is.
At the meeting of the Chinese Ex-
amining Committee to-day, Captain
Jay, of the steamer Crocus, testified
that in England the working people
would not stand by and see themselves
thrown out of employment by the
Chinese. He had very poor opinion
of the Chinese in every respect, and
thought the missionary works in Chi
ma foolish, as he never saw single
convert in that country he thought
was sincere. Policeman Supple says
he knows of numbers of white girls
who were driven to prostitution
on account of being crowded out of
employment by the Chinese. Alex.
Braddon, Assessor, said the Chinese
paid taxes on S150,000 worth of real
estate and $500,000 worth of personal
property last year. He says that a
Chinaman will lie. D. J. Murphy,
District Attorney, gave some infor.
nation as to the criminal proclivities
of the Chinese, who are very adroit
thieves, he thinks. He considers
them as a class very injurious and
communicating in their influences on
the community. Of 75O cases exam
ined by the Grand Jury during Mr..
Murphy's last official term, 120 were
Chinese. In the administration of
justice they interfere materially, be-
ing always ready to perjure them
selves and swear an alibi or anything
else required.
The following private message was
received from Washington to-day:
District Attorney Van Dyke tele-
graphed his resignation on Saturday,
assigning as a reason that the office
is not worth the abuse and annoyance
he is subjected to. Sargent obtained
leave from the President and offered
the place to Coghlan, who accepted it..
The credibility of this news is ques-
toned, as Coghlan has already been
confirmed by the Senate as Chief
Justice of Utah Territory, and as late
as yesterday announced his intention
to take his departure for Salt Lake the
last of this week.
