A report is being industriously cir
culated by members of the Voorhees,
party, to the effect that Hon. Charles
NJ. Bradshaw when a member of the
Legislature, was impeached and re-
moved from the office of President Of
Council. An investigation proves the
charge of impeachment to be untrue.
The facts briefly stated are as follows:
AT the session of 1867 8, the council
consisted of only nine members, four
democrats and four republicans and
one contested seat. The contestants
We're Longmier and Mclean from the
district comprising Thurston and
Lewis counties. Bradshaw who had
been elected president of the conncil
refused to be controlled by either
party, holding that neither of the
contestants was entitled 20 the seat,
but that new election should be
ordered. This action provoked the
ire of certain members and the offices
of president and chief clerk were de-
clared vacant. The democrats found
republican who consented 10 do
their dirty work and elected him pre-
sident. Afterwards the council came
to the conclusion that Bradshaw was
right and new election was had.
That is, the council finally did Just
what Bradshaw wanted them to do at
first, and for which they had removed
him. The people of that district
were very indignant at the action of
the council in its treatment of Brad
shaw and held a monster Indignation
meeting commencing his action and
denouncing the council. There was
no impeachment nor anything like it,
but the whole transaction from first
to last reflects great credit upon
Bradshaw and shows him to be man
of frmness, judgment and integrity,
three rare but valued qualities.

The Goldendale Tribune, Demo
cratic, and staunch supporter of the
little willow of the PalOuse, says in
recent issue: &c. S. Voorhees, is
not responsible for the acts Of his
father, nor should he be either re-
warded for his fathers abilities nor
condemned for his shortcomings" !"
And yet one of the greatest argu-
ments used in the campaign of 1884
was that the feather weight statesman
would have the we;ghty backing of
his sire in the senate, and that if
elected by the people wonders would
be accomplished by the son with the
fathers aid. This was all moon
shine, as all have had occasion to
learn, and now a Voorhees, paper
plainly tells the truth about it. The
senator never gave his aid or coun-
tenance in congress to any measure
of Importance affecting this terri
tory He was always absent. This
was silent rebuke to the son who had
pledged his fathers aid in the cam
paign. Events have demonstrated
that the son banked on his fathers
prestige and brought the latter's rep
utation into good play as only dem
agogue and light Drained young man
could do. Voorhees, father refuses
to help the young sprig, and the lat
ter alone has no influence or ability.

There's Something in Society,""

We're walking down quiet street, two

Again they were sitting in a horse

in which, as it happens, there are abso-
lutely no remarkable persons and very
little wealth; a suburb which is, in fact
intensely rural. ''Now George" I" he went

Sfakespeare's Silver Spoon.

Turning from the jewels, the pa
triarchal shopkeeper drew from a show
case relic which carried one back
nearly three centuries, to the time when
the immortal Shakespeare fourished as
an actor in London, and gave to the
world those works which have made him
the most famous writer of which modern
history has record. 1t was a curiously-
made spoon-a tiny thing, but more
valuable than its weight in diamonds.
1t is about three and one-half inches in
length, made of solid silver, heavily
plated with gold, and weighs about
twelve pennyweights. The bowl is bell
shaped, beautifully carved, and the
handle is surmounted by a miniature
bust of the Bard of Avon, the atures
preserved most wonderfully. 1t is one
of set used by Shakespeare when he
was in the zenith of his glory, and it fell
into the hands of its present owner
forty-five ago, he finding it in Joseph's
coffee house, London, on the day
Victoria was crowned queen of England.

imprisonment for Debt in Mexico.


When an American settles in Mexico
he should be prepared to pay cash for
everything, and if he knows what is
good for him he will always take re-
ceipted bill when he pays out money.
If he omits these precautions he may
wake up some fine morning in debt. In
Mexico, to be in debt is the worst thing
that can happen to man. Under the
Mexican law the creditor can have the
debtor arrested on the day when the
debt falls due. The prisoner in such
cases is chained to post five days,
guarded by an officer.
At the end of the time, if the money
is not forthcoming, the mans labor is
sold to the government for 40 cents a
day for as many days as will be neces-
sary to discharge the obligation. The
miserable debtor is sent to the silver
mines, where he is chained to gang of
felons and compelled to labor under
ground. He sleeps underground, and
never sees daylight again until he is re-
stored to freedom. Not only do igno-
rant Mexicans fall victims to this cruel
system of slavery, but foreigners resid-
ing in the country occasionally get
caught in tight place, and their credit
ors send them to the mines where the
majority of them die.

This is grand agricultural country.
What it needs most is cheap trans

Gus Big Bend country. Its great
wastes of rolling hill and plain are
stretching away in all directions in
yiting settlers to make it blossom as

In France criminals under sentence of
