The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1889-04-13

We believe that the calmer judg-
ment OF the community viii be that
there was too much haste In the pro-
ceeding against Chief Mitchell last
night. In the evidence presented
there was nothing directly 10 sustain
the charge of corruption which has
been made freely, though informally,
during the past week, nothing concern
ing the misconduct OF the chief tn
relation 10 anything excepting gam
bling games-in fact, only small
amount Of testimony showing that he
was neglected. of his duties In one
single respect. The oase against the
chief upon this showing. is not very
strong one.
II would in our Judgment have been
far better II the council had gone about
this grave matter with more delibera.
ton. There should have been, and We
have small doubt there could have
been, q very much stronger showing
in connection with the charge con.
eerning neglect in the matter Of gam
hlinggames. Other charges. too. which
have been made against Mr.. Mitchell
should have been supported by evi,
dence. which we are told Was ready,
And after all the evidence was In Mr..
Mitchell should have beer given q
chance IA defend himself. This would
have been more regular proceeding
aud one to which the council might
have pointed with assurance for its
own justification.
On the other hand. Il is notoriou.
that Chief Mitchell has neglected his
dniies and disappointed The promises
and hopes upon which his election
was secured. The council has SUI
fered criticism and humlliatiou
through his derelietion. aud has with
entire Justice lost patience with gen.
efal disregard Of duty that had be.
come notorious aud seandalous.
On the whole Nc must regard the
dismissal of Mr.. Mitchell as iusslaahle
but IL Is not Inconsistent with this
judgment 10 regret that the method
Of the thing Was not more deliberate
and formal.
