Six weeks of of-, ficlal cares have weighed so heavily upon him that he said yesterday he wlshedi he could penetrate 1000 miles into a wilderness, wnere boodlers and corruption are unknown.

The Mayor and Board of Supervisors enteiftaln directly opposite opinions with regard to many Of the 'most important measures, The. bills that Mayor Sutro wants passed the Supervisors are fighting, and the measures that he denounces as webs for files, the Supervisors are giving their support.

"I am sick and tired ot this ftBthy business of politics," said the Mayor. "Everywhere I look It is money, money, money. Hen are plundering and looting the city In a small and in a large way; if 1 expose them I am abused by my opponents. Now that I am in the office, however, I shall not permit any abuse to prevent me from fulfilling my duty to the people. I never lost a fight yet, because I nevar went into -one until I was sure of my ground, and the harder these looters fight and abuse tne, the harder I will fight back.

"But it is humiliating to me, at my time ot Mte, to be thrown into conflict with such men, and I wish I were a thousand miles away from politicians. "I don't know why the board adts as it does. The members seem to be opposed to me, end appear to delight in showing their hostility. Furthermore, they are advocating the passage ot some very strange bills at Sacramento. They propose to establish a pest-house, it is rumored, on the alms-house tract.

Now that seems toe most absurd thing in the world to me. "Another bill that the Supervisors are trying 'to nave passed is a measure to build a new city and county hospital on a ske to be selected later. What the object is of throwing away money like -this I don't know.
