partner and left the city for parts
unknown. some say for Guaymas and

the charge against the Mayor that he
has lost his politeness. that he docs not
speak politely to people as he passes by.
that he does not cordially receive those

be serious matter. for he was elected
on that platform. But we challenge any

LET THE COUNCIL INVESTIGATE.

LET The COUNCIL INVESTIGATE.
II Is said that the City Council will
surely take up the work Of invesuga~
ton where the grand jury left OF, and
seek to ascertain what members Of that
body. If any. have been guilty OF the
infamous crime OF accepting brides.
The Council cannot, In Justice 90 itself
and to the public. do less. The general
charges OF the grand jury put all mem
bers under suspicion. except such as are
above suspicion, and the Council should
see to it that the guilty are exposed and
the innocent cxonerated. More than
that, It is a duty which tho Council owes
the city to make this exposure. The
Council, as a body. Is in measure re-
sponsible to the city for the acts Of In
diyidual members. It cannot keep bad
members from betraying their trust, but
it. can expose them when appreheEded,
ana that is plain duty which must not
be sfirked.
The public welfars demands that the
bribe takers in the Council, If such there
be, shall not go altogether unpunished.
To conceal the identity Of such men and
save them from punishment or exposure
were to invite them or others like them
to conticue to ply their infamous trade
and barter away the rights OF the city
If there are corrupt men in the Council,
they must be exposed and expelled, and
the contempt of the people must be
visited upon them, and there should be
no unnecessary delay. II any body Of
soldiers suspected that there was
traitor in the camp, how long would they
wait to run him down? It gives one
feeling of creeps to think that there are
civic traitors in our municipal assembly
whose vote can be had for price, and
thu people will not feed safe and com
Portable until these traitors. It such
there be, are spied out and designated
and kicked out.
Let us have the investigation, and let
it be a. the earliest possible date. The
grand jury's report is now more than
week old, and nothing has been done.
