To the Honorable Board OF Trustees. The
undersigned respectfully and earnestly pro-
test that the presence of Chinese in large num-
bers on lower street in this city Is u constant
menace to the health and personal safety of
citizens, and public nuisance. Wherefore,
We petition your honorable body TO order the
removal of Chinatown from its present posi-
ton to some location without the city limits.
A member of the council, speaking of
the matter to reporter yesterday, said:
1--WE are going about this thing quietly,
but determinedly and Systematically.
We have laws which we think cover the
case entirely. The Trustees cannot fall
back and say they have no Jurisdiction
All that is required Of them is little
backbone. There is probably not man,
woman or child in Sacramento who does
not realize the danger of maintaining
this foul place, should an epidemic Of
any sort reach our fair city. Chinatown
is nuisance and can be removed on that
ground, independent of any other"

while the Turlock District was not in

this powerful organization will succeed

An observation OF our esteemed conten-

tnias n manifest germ Of high respect for
tho prospect OF Senator HILLS becoming

main reason for reproducing it:
"if Dawn II. lint was a millionaire nothing ccr'd
rroyrnt his nomination for The Presidency and ms
election would be almost certainty"
lhis is fashionable can't applied to n
higher subject than usual. and il is pro-
purtionatply great in its ahsurdity. With
the exception of GEORGE WAsuINGroN and
SAMUEL. J. TfLDEN. and possibly JoHN

boon elected President. though many
have attempted to get themselves nom
mated. Moreover. tho expenditure OF
money has mover been II factor in Gov
crnor Hull extraordinarily successful pub
lie career. About all the money that politics
has cost him is what h" would have earned
If !io had devoted himself to some other
pursuit. When 10 was elected Senator. no
one heard so much as the chink Of II penny;
and the foundation Of his looming PrcsiHcn-
tial candidacy is politics. of the pure and
Democratic kind.
There has been no money in politics for
