Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-12-05

AS the Workingmen have made
a clean sweep of the City Council
we will suggest that they can do
two things which will be specially
acceptable to the people of Los
Angeles. One is to sprinkle the
streets; the other is to energize
the municipal and legal action
which looks to the cleaning out of
Chinatown. "Nigger Alley" and
its adjuncts have remained for
years blotch upon the fair fame
Of our city. 1t is worse than an
anachronism to have two such
features as the superb Baker Block
and the odious Chinese quarters
within stones throw of each other.
The contrast is too great. To the
casual visitor to our city, who sees
only a few blocks, this Chinese
qnarter is an eye.sore. We should
add that even the most attractive
quarters of Los Angeles, with the
dust settling upon and concealing
everything, lose their beauty un-
der the dirty ordeal. Sprinkle the
streets and get rid of Chinatown,
Messieurs of the City Council

further fact that one of them nevel

IRREsPECTIvE of our estimate of
the advisability Of some of the
measures advocated by them, it is
pleasant to note the fine status of
our own representatives in the Con-
stitutional Convention. Gen. Vol
nsy e. Howard has extorted uni
versal recognition as q statesman
and jurist whose abstinence from
public life for years has been a nis-
fortune to the State. Col. J. j.
Ayers has also commanded quite
general recognition as the right
man in the right place. 1t is some-
thing to congratulate ourselves
upon that we have not q
single weak or unworthy repre-
sentative in the whole body. This
fact make the more lamentable the
wrong done us in leaving our rep
resentation only one-half that to
which our population entities US.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-12-05

IT would be well for the people
of California il, instead of the local
and transitory features sought to be
engrafted on the new Constitution,
provisions were made for rendering
impossible the injustice in legis-
lative representation from which
Los Angeles is now suffering. In
no State OF the Union are fiuctua-
tions in population so marked as
In California. The case Of Los An
geles county is a striking example
in point. Sacramento and Santa
Clara counties, which have not as
large voting population as Los
Angeles, have each within frac-
tion OF twice our representation.
The same Is true of Alameda coun-
ty, which led us at the last Presi-
Dental election only about one
hundred votss. We are short, on
irrefragable evidence, one Senator
and two and perhaps three men,
bers OF the Assembly. A State
census every ten years. SO arranged
as .ts fall In the middle of the de-
cadss comprised in the United
States census, should be made man
datory, with no possibility of evad.
ing its requirements. To avoid ex-
pense the vote at certain stipulated
elections could be accepted as such
State census, and as the basis OF
legislative representation. What
ever influence Los Angeles county
exerts with her present Representa-
tion would be doubled under an
honest npportionment. While we
believe that all details as to the
regulation Of railway freights and
fares, of the appointment of rail-
way commissioners, the definition
OF their powers, etc., should be left
to the Legislature, we do
not think any latitude should
bs left to that body which
would defrnud the people of
any portion Of the State in their
rightful representation. We trust
that this important matter will re-
ceiye due attention as there is, of
course, a possibility that the new
instrument may, through rathy-
ing vote OF the people, become our
organic law for an indefinite period.

California; and, counting Califor-
MIA and Nevada as one, we have
dug out of the bowels of the earth,
in the last thirty years, very close
ly in the neighborhood of two
thousand millions of dollars in a
shape afterwards minted into coin.
Where has all this coin gone to?
We know where much of the placer
gold-of the "easy come, easy go"
days-went. 1t was dug out by the
Argonauts, who were purely ad-
venturers, who came to California
for the spice of adventure in the
trip and the glory Of returning
home with full pockets, if luck fa-
vored. But the placer gold is but a
small factor in the tremendous
mass of treasure in gold and silver
that has poured into our laps.
Where has it all gone to? we re-
peat. Much of it has been sacrificed
in q hundred forms of luxury, and
absentee revels in the East and Eu-
rope. But the steadiest and most
of the drains has arisen
from the Chinese incubus which
we have encouraged until it not

Lss Congress Lsgisisss Against
Chsneae Immig ration.

The result of the late Congress-
ienal elections leaves California in
: very commanding attitude. The
vote OF this State may decide the
issue OF the next Presidential elec-
tlon. Our four electoral votes will
be Important in the event of an
election by the people; while,
should the election go into the
House Of Representatives, owing
to the critically balanced vote of
the two parties, counting by States,
the vote OF this Commonwealth
viii be equally important. Through
this fact our people should be able
to command national legislation
on the Chinese question. Both
parties, it would seem, ought to be
In mood to bid for the support of
oalifornia. The Democratic party,
In It's last National Convention,
held at st. Louis, placed itself
squarely on record to the effect
that Chinese immigration ought to
be stopped. The Republican Ma
tional Convention, held at Cincin-
natl. promised to inquire into the
matter. In the nearly three years
which have elapsed since they put
themselves in the attitude of inter-
estsd curiosity they have had am
pie time to make such inquiry.
They will be stimulated to action
BY the knowledge that no party
can hope to carry this State that
fails to put itself squarely on the
record on this question so vital to
We. 1t would bo sagacious move
on the part Of the Democracy to
initiate at once legislation calcu-
lated to check the inroads of the
Chinese to the Pacific Coast. The
very fact Of sending to Washing
ton q pretsntious Chinese Embassy,
with Chan Ian Pin at its head
shows that ths Chinese authorities
attach great deal of Importance
to keeping open the stream OF i'm.
migration which has poured from
the Celestial Empire into the
United States. Unlc ss the w ash

cratic House might initiate on thil
question, but the Senate will b'

with the sanction of both House!
to legislation restricting Chinese
immigration, tho President woult
