REDEEMING PLEDGES.

Mayor Callaghan made several i'm
portant pledges to the people when
before them as a candidate. He prom
ised to finish the sewers and put them
in operation. He promised to re-
store the financial credit of the city,
this has been done by curtailing ex-
penditures and paying off old debts.
Public improvements, necessarily
have been curtailed but there has
been 3 large amount of work done in
repairing streets, bridges, etc. He
promised to reduce the fare OF the
street railroads. The transfer
system is the fruit of this promise.
The city hall itself has been put in
neat repair, and the air of neglect has
been banished from cellar to dome. Is
not this a fair redemption of anti
election promises?

CITY TOPICS.
POLITICAL ALLIANCES.

The fact that within twelve months
we will be in the midst of a state
and county political campaign begins
to become visible in the rumored ALI
ances between official factions in the
city and county. Mayor Callaghan
holds the key to situation at this
date; how it will be later on remains
TO be seen. As the city election will
come of after the state and county
Mayo Callaghan will enjoy perfect
freedom in placing his forces in the
field. 1t is rumored that the coun-
ty official family is divided among
themselves, while the city is a unit
under the head of Mayor Callaghan,
so that he will be in a position TO
dictate to his county friends a ticket
for county officers, if he so desires.
The efficient and economical admin
istration of the city government has
greatly strengthened Mayor Gala
CHAN in public estimation. His emf
nent services as county judge are also
credited in his favor. If no party
movements are inauguarted, we may
expect to see strong combination,
city and county; opposed by faction
in the court house.

FLUSH THE RIVER.

A prominent citizen has suggested
a plan whereby the river could be
flushed at no great expense, thus
cleaning the stream of all the floating
filth that accumulates from time to
time upon it's surface. Let the city
build strong dam at or near the poor
farm with proper gates for letting the
water out of the confinement. This
body of water released and rolling
down the stream to the height of say,
six feet when leaving the dam would
carry all filth before it and about the
time it reached the city would be re-
duced to such a low volume, as would
do no harm to banks or buildings
along its course. A dam as is pro-
posed would pay for itself in few
years, doing away with cleaning by
day labor, of our stream as is prac-
ticed today.

"A MIND OF THEIR OWN"

The present board of county COM
missioners from their present meth
DDS of conducting the county's bust
ness, appears to be body having a
mind of their own. They dive into
affairs concerning the welfare of the
county without waiting to find out
whether it pleases or displeases any
particular person, corporation or COM
bination. They seem to be attending
TO the county business in a business
like manner, which if continued will
result in much benefit to the tax-pay-
ers pockets as we'll as to themselves.

Manner.
\ party of Chinese passed through

senger train of the Southern Pacific
Friday afternoon. There were
twelve in the party, including a num-
Der of children, and they were re-
turning from Cuba, where they had
been working on plantations, on their
way to China. None of them could
could speak a word of English. They
were in charge of a guard in the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific company
and occupied an immigration coach
at the head of the train. This is only
one of the many Chinese parties that
pass through here in the same man
ner. They remain in the coach
along the entire trip and are under
protection of the Southern Pacific
company which gives bond to haul
them safely through the United States
on through ticket. As these Chinese
have no registration tickets from the
United States government, they
would violate the laws to stop here,
and would be arrested, and therefore
they pass through this country with
out even putting foot on American
soil, except when going from the
steamship to the cars and vice versa.
