A TELEGRAPHIc extract from Phila-
delphia paper indicates that a decided
change of sentiment is taking place at the
East relative to the desirability of the
Chinese as residents of the country. 1t
has all along been maintained in California
that the sentiment at the East in favor of
Chinese and of according them social
equality with other laborers, and even
favorable to their admission to citizenship,
would undergo a radical change, if any
considerable number of Cinnamon could
be placed in the large Eastern cities. 1t
is estimated that there are now in Phila-
delphia, New York, Boston, Washington,
Chicago and st. Louis no less than II 900
Chinese, and in smaller cities an aggregate
of from 1000 to $500. These obnoxious
people are working for California and re-
striction of Chinese exclusion, with more
potency than all the orators and pamphlet
literature we could send to the East. The
day is very near at hand when public
opinion in the United States will be prac
tically unanimous upon the Chinese ex-
clusion question. Our Eastern friends will
then look back with surprise, if not some
shame, to the period in which they de-
nounced Californians as the " Rowdies of
the West"

Mr.. Stevens leaves wife, daughter. a
son and two grandchildren to mourn his
loss. With these this community mingles
its tears. His death is their common loss,

example OF his life's labors is to other men

such deserving as wins that rich reward.

Since the foregoing was written it has
been ascertained that as there will be so
large an attendance at the church during
the obsequies, the management has ar
ranged that only personal friends of the
family, and railroad men attending in the
several bodies, will be admitted. After the
services the railroad men will view the re-
mains, and then escort them to the $3.50

EDS RECORD UNION l feel that cannot
let you issue your Monday paper without
asking you little space. The past week
in Sacramento has been one of unparalleled
local distress to US. Three of our most es-
teemed citizens and neighbors have passed
away, each of them leaving us suddenly
and Unexpectedly. / refer to Mr.. Foster
Mr.. Hurd and, last, Mr.. Stevens. Who
next?
Mr.. Foster was identified as pioneer, with
a California pioneers family, who we all
loved and respected. Next, our friend and
neighbor, Horatio Hurd, a son of Pho
neer one who has been identified with
the commercial and social interest of Sac
ramento for a quarter of century. Sac
ramento will ever remember them. Now
comes, unexpected to US all, as, indeed, the
other two deaths were, the death of A. ].
Stevens, well known to us all as the Master
Mechanic of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company.
Mr.. Stevens has always been since his
connection with the company (near quar-
ter of a century,, warm friend of Sacra-
mento and its best interests, as we'll as the
great interests of the company that he has
so long and ably represented.
Years ago, when the politics of Sacra-
mento were divided on local issues, the
company which Mr.. Stevens was represent
ing was ignored at the ballot-box by ad-
verse influences from some of the press of
Sacramento, still Mr.. Stevens, ever true
and ever watchful-believing that Sacra-
mento was the central point of the railroad
interests Of California-prevailed by argu-
ment, and demonstrated to the directory
that could not be contradicted,
that Sacramento was the center
for their great railroad shops.
Mark Hopkins and c. P Huntington said
to me: We must remove our offices.
Sacramento don't want us here, but by the
advice of Mr.. Stevens we have concluded
to make Sacramento the headquarters for
our shops, and this you people of Sacra-
mento we feel assured will appreciate at a
later date
Since then, Mr.. Stevens has been instru-
mental in building up in our midst an
industry that no State in the Union can
equal, with 1000 employees, and a payroll
of hundreds of thousands a month paid
to our people. We must all feel sad at the
death of one who has been so steadfast 3
friend of US all as community.

were put out Of the way. Here is inyolv-
ment enough to justify an investigation.
Where there are such grave charges made,
and such emphatic denials entered upon a
subject of such Importance, inquiry as to
the real facts should be put on foot. 1t is
probable that there has been successful
large smuggling, possible that some Gus
toms subordinate officers have been
priyy to it, but in the face of the
denial of Fogarty, and his demand
dor investigation, it can scarcely be refused
him. Assaults upon character are very
easily made, and whenever they are allowed
to pass uninvestigated there is encourage
ment for reckless and vicious repetitions.
1t is due, too, to the public that this long
talked-of corruption should be laid bare,
or the falsehood of the stories exposed.
