"Great benefit will result from the passage of a law prohibiting the issuance of a business license to aliens of this class. It should also be provided that any citizen who wishes to employ these aliens should procure a license for doing so. Goods manufactured in this State should bear a stamp indicating whether or not Chinese labor had been used. This would enable the public to carry out their desire to employ only the labor of people who may legally become citizens. Of course the use of a false label should be severely punished.
"The City Council, by its authority to enact sanitary regulations, and by its power over the municipal license system, is in a position to do much for the people 46

HISTORY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
in this matter. Under existing laws it can suppress many places maintained by Chinese, because they are actual nuisances. The buildings occupied by many of them, in the central part of the city, are reeking with filth, and vile ordors permeate the air in their immediate neighborhood, depreciating. the value of property. If laundries were allowed only in some designated part of the city, it would be a great benefit to many localities that are now undesirable.
"Another nuisance is the presence of Chinese with their baskets on the sidewalks of crowded thoroughfares. This should be stopped, for it would be just as proper to allow the sidewalks to be used by hand-carts or drays.
" I do not suggest these things through a desire to persecute these people, nor to subject them to any grievance, but because they will not stop coming here until they see that the general spirit of our law is against them. They will continue to immigrate here as long as they can enter into full and free competition with Americans, but the influx of Asiatics will cease when it is a certainty that our people are doing every- thing in their power to keep them away.
"We have protection for our commercial interests. It has been the traditional policy of Congress to maintain a high protective tariff to shut off goods manufactured by pauper labor elsewhere. There are still stronger reasons for preventing the land- ing of men who are paupers, who can never become citizens, and whose presence defeats the whole aim and object of the protective system that has been established for the benefit of American industries."
It will be remembered that California was honored by a visit from Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States, and though his reception was not characterized by the demonstrative joy with which General Grant was received, still Mr. Hayes was cordially welcomed with the patriotism which the traditions of his office demanded. On the 6th September, the City Council passed the following preamble and resolu- tion in this regard :-
WHEREAS, The people of the State of California are "upon the eve of celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of its birth into the American Union, and
WHEREAS, The citizens of Oakland have manifested their intention to celebrate the day in a manner worthy of an event so grand as the coming of a new and bright star into the constellation of States, and that will bear witness of their profound satisfaction at the proud eminence their young State has won, of their confidence in the brighter future which lies open before its boundless natural resources, and its vigorous and patriotic citizens, and of their reverent gratitude to the Divine Ruler of the Universe, whose beneficent grace has showered unnumbered blessings over mountain and valley, from the sierras to the sea; and
WHEREAS, Our people are about to be honored by a visit from his Excellency, the President of the United States-the first time in the history of the State, that a Chief Executive of the nation has crossed its boundaries; and
WHEREAS, His Excellency has kindly consented to visit our city and participate in the festivities in commem- oration of our natal day, and we are desirous of showing in a fitting manner our regard for him as a man and our respect for the high office which he holds; now therefore
Resolved, That the people of the city of Oakland, through its Mayor and Council, tender to his Excellency, the President, the hospitalities and freedom of the city.
1881 .- The first item to notice is the passing of the following resolutions on the death of Hon. J. W. Dwinelle :-
WHEREAS, It hath pleased Divine Providence to remove from our midst one whose influence and deeds have ever been given to the advancement of the material interests of Alameda County, and prominent in the establish-
715

ment of our State University, the boast and pride of this city, and as an ex-Mayor of Oakland, it is befitting that the Council should take some action and pay a proper tribute to the memory of HON. JOHN W. DWINELLE; therefore be it
Resolved, That this Council will attend his obsequies in a body, and it is ordered that the Council Chamber be draped in mourning for thirty days; and be it further
Resolved, That a certified copy of this preamble and resolutions be transmitted to the family of the deceased, and be under the seal of the city spread upon the minutes by the City Clerk.
Like in every cluster of houses throughout the Union, in the city of Oakland the grief that marked the death of General Garfield was intense. It partook of deep sorrow, more like the mourning for a lost relative than for the untimely death of the Chief Executive of a great nation. For a month the prominent buildings and many private establishments were draped with the insignia of woe, while the fervor of sor- row was intense. On September 20th the following resolutions were unanimously adopted by a standing vote of the City Council :-
WHEREAS, In the midst of our deliberations, while seeking in our own small sphere to do for the public wel- fare, at a time when, though deeply and anxiously solicitous for the ultimate, complete, and entire recovery of the victim of the assassin's bullet, the man who was the pride and glory of the nation, the man of all men best fitted by his spotless public and private character, his experience, his ability, learning, and wisdom, and his unswerving devotion to the best interests of our whole country, and by the confidence reposed in him by the people of all classes and of every political complexion throughout the length and breadth of the land, to fill with honor and glory to himself and the American people, that office, than which there is nor has been no greater or nobler in the history of nations at a time, after months of anxiety and suspense, we yet cherished a hope and a faith- almost hoping against hope -- that the Divine Ruler of the universe, He who marks the sparrow's fall, would finally restore to us the man on whose life or death depended more than in all the history of the world ever depended on the life of one man -- midst hoping and fearing, lightning has borne to us the crushing and dishearten- ing message, " President Garfield is dead;" and
WHEREAS, We realize in the death of JAMES A. GARFIELD, the late President of the United States, not only we, but our country and the whole world, have lost that which cannot be replaced, we have lost, than which there is no nobler work of God-a man without fear and without reproach, a man whose interest and desire was the good of our entire people, a man who knew what was the best and right to be done, and who dared to do what he believed to be right and just, to all men and before all men-a man who was at all times and in all places the brave, true, and untiring friend of his brother man, and the devoted servant of his country; now, therefore, by the Council of the city of Oakland, be it
Resolved, That we feel most deeply and sincerely the loss to the people of the United States in the death of our late President; that we believe that James A. Garfield, had he lived, with his ability, his opportunity, and his disposition, would have continued to be the grandest and brightest figure in the history of mankind, and that in his death, our people, and the people of all nations of the earth have lost a friend than whom no better or more powerful friend of mankind has been in the past, or will be for generations yet to come; and be it further
Resolved, That for the people of our city we most earnestly and sincerely present our heartfelt sympathy and condolence to the bereaved widow, the fatherless children, and aged and stricken mother of our President. We fully realize that tho' our heart-strings may be sorely wrung by the loss of him who was our protector, as he was the friend and protector of our whole country and the friend of every man on the face of the earth-yet the loss of the widow and fatherless and that aged mother is greater than ours -- we lose a friend and protector and they a kind and loving husband and father and a devoted son, and in their bereavement we ask the widow, the orphans, and the noble mother to remember, as a slight solace in their deep affliction, that tho' he has gone in the full flush of manhood, just when arm and mind were strongest; just when the eyes of all the world were turned upon him; he died in the service of mankind, he died in harness, died after the grandest and most prolonged struggle for life ever made by mortal man, a struggle made not through fear of death -- for he feared it not, nor thro' any love of life for its own sake -- for he cared not for himself. Through all those gloomy months of pain and suffer- ing he struggled to live as he has ever struggled to live, for his mother, for his wife, for his children, and for his country; and be it further
Resolved, That as the only token of public respect in our power is manifest, we recommend our citizens to drape their residences and places of business in mourning for a period of thirty days; that all public business shall be

suspended on the day appointed for the President's funeral, and that public worship be held in all the churches on Sunday, September 25th, when the people may assemble to' mourn our loss, and pray for the safety of the Republic; and be it
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Council.
1882-83 .- During the year 1882 there was nothing of any especial moment occurred that need find a place in this work, but the 12th of March, 1883, saw the elec- tion of a Democratic Mayor in the person of J. West Martin, who, with the City Coun- cil, inaugurated a system of retrenchment by dismissing some subordinates in the several departments, and reducing the salaries of the remainder. The efficient Captain of Police is abolished for the nonce and an acting Captain installed, while, as a move to further economy, the streets are but half lighted by gas.
It may be mentioned, though not belonging properly to the city of Oakland, that Maro P. Kay, a former deputy and trusted officer of the County Treasurer, was sentenced May 22, 1883, to fourteen years imprisonment in the State Prison for the crime of forgery and embezzlement of the public funds.
The Oakland of to-day is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is a credit to all concerned in guiding it to its present position, while the day is not far distant when it will add the importance of a great manufacturing and commercial center to its already numerous attractions.
