AYakima CITY Communication.

To the Citizens and Actin9 Mayor and
Council Of Yakima City:
l would like to make a few re-
marks on the long and bitter con.
test, made by majority of the old coun-
Gil against those elected by the people to
succeed them. The only plea or cause
for such action on their part, that have
ever heard, seems to emanate from the
idea as expressed in some doggerel, writ
ten or copied by some local scribe, in the
rear end OF one of our home distilleries,
that the overall and scantily clad citizens,
aided by those benedicts who had not
voted according to their wives dictations,
supported the elected candidates, and
that they therefore were not entitled to
recognition by the we'll fed, warmly
clothed, truly christian and aristocratic
portion OF the community, and that the
city treasury must be exhausted before
any such calamity should befall the elite
OF the fair city; whereupon four OF the
modern Blackstonians, more or less con-
nected with the old council, constituted
themselves into committee to defeat the
wishes of the majority OF the people as
expressed by ballot at we'll contested
election, at which there certainly was no
coercion brought to bear on any citizen
as to who he should vote for.
The contestants seem to have labored
under the fond delusion that in case their
plans should fail they then would Just
turn over the small item OF expense in
Cured to the taxpayers, whose wishes
they had tried to defeat, and whose treas
ury they had emptied; while the streets
and highways have been left to the mercy
OF stencil pools, clogged bitches and filthy
and noxious weeds.
The latest fad participated in by the
Blackstonians, since it was flashed across
their broad intellects by the decision OF
Judge Graves that they should pay the
cost of their Own folly, was to whisper
around to q choice few that there would
be an election held on the quiet (and
very quiet it was) by which they hoped
to delay justice or shift the burden of ex
pense to other shoulders (Which conform.
with their previous actions) when called
upon to deliver the city books, seal anC
records over to the proper officers of tn,
city. They intinated that they still hat
use for them in their business, which,
suppose, was TO audit and accept bill
for officers of said quiet election; ant
then abandon the hall on the approach
of the legal council, leaving a couple o
their members to see what they would d.
about it, or witness some mistake o
blunder to furnish them material for thei
legal digest. CITIZEN.

The New gsury Law.

The law passed by the late legislature
provides that the rate Of interest on
loans, discounts, etc, shall be per
cent. but this rate may, by contract be-
tween the parties. be increased to IL per
cent. The legal rate for all warrants
shall henceforth be s per cent. Judg-
ments on written contracts providing for
payment of interest until paid at a speci-
fic rate shall bear interest at that rate; ;
otherwise at the rate of per cent.
The law provides somewhat curious
penalty for breach. Where greater in
terest is contracted for the loan shall not
be void, but the party who loans the
money can only recover the principal less
the amount OF interest contracted for, and
the defendant shall recover his costs,
and in case interest has been paid the
judgment can only be for the principal
less twice the amount Of the interest paid
and less the amount OF all accrued and
unpaid interest.

UsurY Law.

1t is only an incident in child's life
and yet, to our thinking, there is nothing
finer in history. The scene is in Seattle,
on one of the steep streets running down
to the harbor. The blue waters of the
Sound, the wooded points running out
into their cool embrace, and the pictur-
esque peaks of the distant Olympics
make a scene over which the blue sky,
fiecked by heecy clouds, is serenely
broodng. A little tot of seven is tripping
down the hill. Her eyes are as bright as
the sunlight above, her face sparkling
with the pure joy of happy childhood. A
frail, tender, little thing, she seems,
without thought beyond the mere Joy
OF living. No drifting apple blossom is
sweeter or fairer than she as she dances
along. Suddenly she slips, stsgger and
falls cruelty on the stone curb. For
little she is motionless-stunned. Her
foot is twisted beneath her.
She tries miserably to pick herself up,
but falls back at once, her wee face white
with pain. Her leg is broken. For q
minute or two she lies still, her lips quiv-
ering to keep back her sobs, and her
brave little eyes resolute to shed no tear.
A man has noticed her, and, coming up,
he sees her trouble, and learning from
her where she lives, takes her up tenderly
in his arms and carries her to her home.
Not groan escapes from the
tightly closed lips. She is thinking hard
of her mother. How grieved her mother
will be. 1t will be a great shock to find
her little girl so badly hurt. And mother
is not strong. No, but she, the old sol.
dier's brave little darling, she is strong.
and mother mustn't know. No, she de-
cides that mother shall not know. They
reach the house. Calmly she tells her
bearer to set her down on the steps till
she rests for a minute-then thanks him
bids him goodbye, and wont hear Of
his ringing. She is quite strong, really,
and will go in in minute-just as soon
as she has rested.
What was it? Inherited command in
the child, or imbecility in the man +?
Whichever it was, he leaves her. As
soon as he is out OF sight she drags her
self and her poor, broken limb down the
steps and round the house to the back
door. She must get in quietly and get
things fixed, somehow, before her mother
knows. The pain is terrible, but she
wont give in. Each effort increases the
agony but the little teeth are clencbed-
the little eyes, bright and dry, are fash
ing with an indomitable resolve. She is
only soft, delicate little girl though.
She manages to reach the back door and
drags herself up to it. Her heroic spirit
is unconquered, but flesh and blood can
stand no more. Her head reels, and with
pitiful moan OF utter pain, she sinks
down. The servant hears her cry, and
the poor child is carried lovingly to her
bed. When she tells her mother, Judge
ye if that mothers tears are all OF sorrow
And her father? Well. men don't say
much, but we fancy that Colonel Prosser
thinks more than ever OF his little daugh-
ter.

Remember that Castoria does not con-
tain Morphine, Opium, or any other
narcotic substance. in any quantity, shape
or form. 1t is entirely vegetable, pleas
ant to take, positively effective, and per-
fectly harmless. 1t is not secret remedy !;
the formula is printed ON the wrapper.
Your hpysician will recommend it. Pare
goric, Bateman's Drops, and many so called
Soothing Syrups, are composed principal
ly of Opium or Morphine; in any quantity
they stupefy, and in large quantities are
deadly poisons. Castoria assimulates
the food and regulates the bowels, cures
diarrhGa, allays feverishness and freet-
fulness, soothes the pain in teething, re-
lieyes constipation and kills worms. 1t
brings refreshing and natural sleep to the
child, and gives rest to the mother.
'Castoria is so well adapted to infants
and children, that l recommend it as
superior to any other known remedy"
DR.. II. A. ARCHER,
Ill s. Oxford ST., Brooklyn, N. Y.
March 8, 1887.
"From personal knowledge and obser-
walton l can say that Castoria is an ex-
cellent medicine for children, acting as a
laxative and relieving the pent up bowels
and general system very much. Many
mothers have told me OF it's excellent ef-
feet upon their children"

The Lowe and Walters land cases,
which have been heard and reheard and
kept hanging in the department for eight
or nine years, are not yet finally decided,
as seems to be the impression. They are
only past the commissioner of the general
land Office, who has decided in favor Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad company.
The commissioner holds that, Walters,
who took his land under the desert act,
couldlacquire no right by occupation, as
against the railroad when the grant at
tached, for the reason that he had ex-
hausted his rights as homesteader and
pre-emptor some years before lie settled
here. This fact was dug up in the records
OF California land office.

Prompt Payments by the Mutual Life.

Two recent and somewhat notable pay
ments of death claims have been made
by the old Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany, OF New York, at Seattle, Wash.
The late Geo. H. Heilbron's policy WAS
for 500, 900 and had been carried four
years. The claim was paid April 80
through VIM. s. Pond, general agent for
Seattle. Mr.. Fred ]. Grant, who was lost
on the Ivanhoe, carried $4,000 in the
same company, and the claim has been
paid, notwithstanding the absence OF
the proofs of death. 20

S. s. King, of Everett, representing the
Bunnell & Emo Investment company, is
in the city for a few days in the endeavor
to place some loans. Mr.. G. NJ McKin-
ney, the local representative of the COM
many, states that 1t is almost impossible
to loan one penny here. Farmers are
either fearful of the interest and princi-
pal some day to be paid, or else they do
not need money. 1t is peculiar state of
affairs, any way one looks at it and is
the best kind of recommendation for this
section TO eastern capitalists. The idea

ness man in Yakima doesn't wish to Dor
row any money, shows of what kind of
timber the residents of this valley are
made. or else that money isn't 80 scarce

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Col. Hewlett has been appointed ad-
ministrator Of the Frank Terrell estate.
He knew the old man well-as we'll as
anybody hereabouts-and is already re-
ceiving letters Of inquiry as the result of
his letters published in Louisville, Ky.
The estate will be well taken care of and
turned over to the heirs, il any are found.

There was rumor current to-day that
the supreme court had affirmed the
decision OF Judge Graves in the case OF
the state vs.. VIM. Feamster-making that
party is still free man, though perhaps
not any more so than he has been for
four months. A decision had also been
made, said unreliable Dame Rumor,
by the upper court in the case Of
Schmidt VS.. the city of North Yakima
In this the lower court was reversed, and
the decision gave verdict to Schmidt
In the sum OF 10000 in round numbers.
A telegram to Attorney Whitson received
late this evening from the clerk OF the SUI
prene court, however, gives the lie to the
latter story-and it is probable the first is
unfounded, as well.
Is or isn't the city on the mend fnan-
cially. Two or three items in this week 8
HERALD seem to imply that it is. Another
proof might be found in the fact that the
Hotel Yakima is using cots for great
surplus OF transients. Seventy-fiv We guests
ate dinner there last night, and over so
paid for rooms.
Mr.. M. G. Wills states that he on We'd
nesday received a full and satisfactory
settlement from the Home Insurance
company, of New York, through Fechter
& Ross. for $3.50 surety which he carried
upon his household goods recently de-
stroyed by fire.
Among the other points brought out by
the last session Of the board of county
commissioners was the fact that the
April term of the superior court cost Yak
ina county between $4,000 and 5000.
This is refreshing news to the poor tax
payer.
w. H. Humphrey and W. P. Bird travel
ing auditors of the express and railroad
companies, respectively, were in Yakima
on Tuesday for the purpose of checking
III. G. Humphrey out of office and install

Money seems to be plentiful these days
here in Yakima. A grocer of this city on
Tuesday deposited <i92 in gold, silver
and checks as one days receipts in his
store, in one of the banks. The deposit
the day before was $50.
K. N. Harrison has purchased the Sec
ond hand store of ID. +. Smith, on First

M. G. Hall. superintendent of the
western division OF the Northern Pacific
