THE CHINESE ORDINANCE.

We elsewhere publish perfectly lucid
and impregnable opinion from a iurist,
that the proposed ordinance to expel the
Chinese from this city is unconstitutional
and cannot be given any legal force. This
journal so stated its belief as soon as the
proposition was made public. There is no
sort of thought whatever of the soundness
of the opinion this morning published.
The error of advising the measure was
born of the good intentions of the COM
mittee, no doubt. The & aceful thing to do
now is to cease to attempt to bolster up a
proposition that is wholly untenable.

A WORD TO SAN FRANCISCO CONTEM-
PORARIES.

1t is to be again urged that the San
Francisco press-which has been generous
and philosophical in this matter-when
the exhibits Of the first Northern Citrus
Fair are exposed in that city, take pains
to make it clear to our people, and the
great number of strangers now visiting the
metropolis, that the northern California
citrus fruits shown are exhibited not for
quality, but simply to testify to the capacity
of the section represented. Orange grow
ing in the north has not been the result of
culture. The most of the fruits-though
there are some fine budded varieties-are
seedlings and the most Of the trees merely
grown for ornament, not for market pro-
duce. Now, however, change viii be
inaugurated, based upon confidence in
the adaptability of the soil and climate to
citrus fruit production. 1t is all import
ant that these facts be kept before the
stranger. 1t would not be unadvisable to
have these important facts prominently set
forth in cards among the exhibits. So, too it
is very desirable for the information of the
stranger that there be displayed in the fair
at San Francisco Il large map of the State
with the counties prominently designated
by erayon markings which are represented
by the exhibits. Nor would it be out of
place 10 distinctly placard the fact that most
of the fruits have been already many days
exposed in similar fair. Such prepara-
ton would facilitate very much the an
swering of inquiries, and the San Francisco
committee can, without much trouble and
without cost, provide such means of in
formation.

ADD TO THE EXHIBITS.

Not single exhibitor should refuse con-
sent to the citrus fair goo6s being sent to
san Francisco. 1t is cheap and wise in
vestment that is about to be made. A
broad public spirit should animate our
whole people, from Shasta TO Calaveras, on
this subject. Many of the exhibits have
been reduced by gift, to friends, testing the
fruits, etc, and some of the choicest speci-
mems have thus suffered. So, too, by a
weeks exposure the fruit has been rem
dered less representative and has shrunk
not little. The thing to do is to largely
replace 1t, and to add some of the
best Specimens yet on our trees. The
shipments can be made direct to the
San Francisco committee without cost.
They need not be made yery large.
but should be representative. The call. in
other words, Is not for great mass of
fruit-freieht, but for new good samples to
restore and enhance the variety and fresh
ness of the exhibit. The money value of
the exhibits is not great, and distributed
among so many people amounts to but
song. The fruits viii, at the close of the
fair III San Francisco, not repay shipment

GRATIFYING.

The Chronicle congratulates the people
of Sacramento on their Enterprise in con-
Quoting the citrus fair, and their Iibsrality
in footing the cost. 1t is not the first time
by any means, that our citizens have made
manifest the fact that they are broad
minded and liberal on all matters relating
to the settling up" and development of
the State. For years they, in common
with the people of the upper counties,
have labored alone, and ;ided only by the
Central Pacific Railroad company, to de-
velop the northern section 1t is matter
of sincere qualification that at last San
Francisco has enlisted in the good work.

LOTTERY ADVERTISING DOOMED.

A bill was introduced in Congress last
week to close the mails against all
newspapers advertising lotteries in any
form, and the Committee on Postoffices in
the House has already reported favorably
upon it. a private letter from Washington
gives the assurance that it will pass both
chambers and have Executive approval.
This is probable To refuse to make it a
law now would amount TO an affirmation of
the legality and morality of lotteries.
When it shall have become law, our con-
temporaries in California which are taking
blood money from the lottery swindIers, will
find that no such reason as they contend
heats the State law, will avail them.

back, nor could they be sold and the pro-
ceeds so divided as to repay for the neces-
sary labor and cost. Hence the agreement
to divide them among the children in the
orphan asylums will meet the wishes of all
the owners. There ought to be consider
ably larger exhibits of picked olives,
preserved citrus fruits, olive oil, etc. The
ladies who have taken such deep interest
in this fair will, we trust, take steps to in
terest some of their sex in San Francisco
to do as have the women of this section :;
give that personal attention to the tasteful
arrangement Of exhibits, in which the
nicer judgment of woman excels. Finally,
so far as it is possible to do so, the counties
should appoint representatives to remain
at the San Francisco fair, ready to explain
matters relative to the fruits to the people.
