RIAL legislature appears y ~ pref
~ thoroughly defined now, and
both branches Of that law making
land unmaking) body have caught
The inspiration Of duty, buried the
battle axe and gone 20 work.
The unsealing Of Geo. w. Miles
was not alone q complete surprise
TO chat worthy gentleman but also
70 his friends and constituents.
While from the evidence and pres
sure brought TO bear upon his
case It was deemed wise, houora-
BILE and expedient on the part OF
the council 10 remove him and
seat Sir. Ancheta, in the name Of
Justice and IN keeping with their
pledges to Mr.. Miles to do moth
ing ia the premises without first
advising him, it seems unfair that
this should be done while lie was
unavoidnbly absent from the capi-
toll. However, 'the die is cast =
and to the end that We may have
peace, let bye-gons be bye-gons
In the case Of A. T. Christy,
who was denied recognition in the
house because Of charges PREFER
ed against him which disqualified
him to the seat to which he had
/ been elected, there appeared to be
no alternative but to waive the
charges, as his opponent in the
election reEaaed to do anything in
matter Of contest, and because
! of a general feeling Of truce and
J harmony prevailing, he was given
; his seat on Tuesday afternoon.
! Neither Of these contests had
7 any bearing upon the political
I status Of the legislature as both
2 the council and house we're, and
still are under democratic rule
