SANTA MONICA.

Never has there been a more import
ant gathering in this city than the mass
meeting of the citizens at Santa Mon
lea, held on Thursday evening, pursuant
to call by a committee of citizens, of
which Daniel McCarty was chairman.
The purpose of the meeting was to take
the sense of the citizens upon the action
OF two OF the members of the town trus-
tees, Messrs. John Steere and j. L. AL
len, in refusing to grant the prayer OF
the petition of three-fourths of the citi-
zens of the town on the question OF call
ing an election for the purpose of voting
bonds for wharf-building purposes.
Promptly at 5 p. m. w. s. Chamberlain
called the meeting to order, and Or.
Fisher secretary.
After enthusiastic and eloquent
speeches, by Judge Ling, L. 7. Fisher,
j. F. Hogan and DIR. Rogers, the COM
mittee who had the drafting of suitable
resolutions, reported the following:
Whereas, 1t is recognized as one of
the fundamental principles of this free
American republic that the people are
the source of power. and that for con-
venience individual citizens are selected
as agents, with the implied understand
ing that said agents at no time are the
rulers; and
Whereas, 1t necessarily follows that
when an agent fails to represent the
principles, he is under moral if not
legal obligation to surrender the dele
gated power entrusted to him or them;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the people of Santa
Monica in mass meeting assembled, in
view of the well recognized principles
as herein enumerated, de mand that
John Steere and Joseph Allen, as trus-
tees of this corporation, either comply
with the wishes of their constituency,
in calling an election to enable all to ex-
press their unbiased sentiments as to
the propriety of issuing bonds to con-
struct wharf in front of Santa Monica
town site, or that said John Steere and
Joseph L. Allen at once lender their
resignation as trustees of said town Of
-anta Monica.
The meeting adjourned with three
cheers for wharf, groans and misses for
all silurians, and fixed determination
in all hearts to have wharf, come
what would, in the immediate future.
