A clipping from the Clinton Democrat,
which we include with our items this
week, Is very appropriate and needs care
full perusal by our citizens. As the sub
ject has been discussed quite frequently
by our people, we hope there may be some
definite measures taken to not only make
It mere gossip but reality. We have some
citizens who would make tirst-class po-
licemcn. Why not give them an oppor-
tunity TO test their skill In that direction.
The following is the article referred to;
ssThe citizens of Stockton are talking OF
having special policeman for the pur-
pose Of keeping order on tho streets and
street corners as there are great many
| Italians living in the place who are ems
ployed in the stone quarrIes near by The
| Italians are becoming common nuisance
| TO the village and we think 1t is high time
something was done to control them.
Nights and stormy days they gather them
| selves together In groups on the sidewalks
and corners providing our gentlemen and
ladies or into the dirty street as they give
place to no passerby and the thing is be-
coming worse and worse. Now the ques-
ton comes shall we allow our men, wo-
men and children TO be showed of the
sidewalks which we have been to the ex-
pense of making for public accommoda-
ton into tho dirt and mud by the serfs OF
Italy2 Can the citizens OF Stockton stand
it2 viii they permit this to 60 on any
longer2 | hope not. There should be
some arrangement made to protect the
welfare of our fellow.countrymen from
that set, who have no regard for them
selves or common decency. II is our duty
under all circumstances to see that there
is special arrangements made for an APP
pointment OF an officer to keep order aud
regulation especially along the streets so
that our citizens can enjoy the privilege
OF travelling our sidewalks without moles-
tation or suffer any annoyance OF being
compelled to step of the sidewalks into
the mud and dirt on account Of crowd
OF Italians blockading the pathway which
so justly belong TO us. Let us press this
matter until we obtain the security of the
| travelling public against these annoyances
which infest Stockton to-day. Let there
be special policeman appointed to guard
the street corners and sidewalks and keep
them free from such Instructions. Above
all things is this necessary"
