dispatches from Washington, yestsr-
day, conveyed the information that
prosecuted Cinnamon in San Fran
cisco have petiioned for federal pro-
lection against impending violence
which is threatened against their
peace, their dwellings and their lives.
An appeal to the President is very
proper step for them to take.

the peaceful operation OF law in the
abatement of the Chinese nuisance,
or any accession TO the Infamous de-
msnds Of the craven Chinese consul,
| Mr.. Bee, for foreign military inter-
terence, We are ready to assert and
maintain cur rights, avenge cur friends
and visit upon low, designing minions
of power, hacked up though they
may be By cowardly capitalists and
corporations. punishment so swift and
terrible that the reader Of history will
shudder at the record. We have
kept the peace, We intend to keep the
peace, but We are not to be triAed
with; law must be obeyed, the Chinese
must &c. We know cur rights and,
knowing, dare maintain them.

would not be the first to break the
peace; what they want is work and
their rights, they are willing to wait
for peaceful solution OF the agitation.

We are not excited, however; the
alarm Is among capitalists and people
who don't understand US. 1t, how

and example. 1t is a bad thing to
have trouble in large city ike this;
there is none OF US who would not lue

there will be no inaammatory
speeches. In conclusion, the mayor
said: In these resolutions everything
is conservative and peace keeping. |

til their cries were heeded, but do
advise. under existing circumstances,
and in view of excited public feeling,
that there be cessation of marching
