Dramatic scenes happen in this

world of fiction. AS Lorimer, broken,

threshold by the messenger Of the
house, who announced a resolution of
the house in these words, Resolved,
That the house has impeached Rob-
ert w. Archibald, judge of the cir
cult court, now sitting in the United
State commerce court" Thus the man
going to execution meets on the road.

ing up for condemnation.

Lorimer Is going back 10 Chicago.
1t il safe say the people will approve
the verdict which sends him back.
Which will not prevent some OF them
feeling sorry for Lorimer. Somewhere
in the history of that d~isgraceful
affair there were worse men than
Lorimer. The sad thing is hat there
dies not appear TO be any way TO
bring those worse men to justice.

MISLEADING REPORT.

In Mondays Herald there ap-
peared under city news items a
statement that the foundation work
for the new county jail building was
completed that work was well under
way on the foundation for the new
court house. and would be completed
within a week, and also that all ma
terial for the foundation was on the
ground.
Not being familiar with the de-
tails Of the construction work for
either the court house or Jail build
ing, The Herald published the news
item as il was given to the reporter
by II. G. Hoel, the representative Of
the Standard Construction Company
Of Dallas, in good faith, not qles-
tioning his veracity.
Ii appears, however, that the re-
porter was entirely misled. The
Herald finds upon looking into the
matter more carefully that SO far
from being completed, the founda-
ton work for the new county Jail,
which the contractors were to cOm-
plete four months after the contract
was awarded. is still far from COM
pleted, as there still remains the es-
sential part of the concrete founda-
ton to be constructed.
The statement to the effect that
the material for the foundation was
all on the ground, The Herald is not
prepared to deny-not being famil-
lar with the quantities of material
necessary for such construction
work. Judging from the little pile
Of rock and sand on the ground,
however, it would appear entirely
incommensurate with the big hole
dug for the foundation of the two
buildings.
In fact, the digging Of this hole
seems to be by far the major part
Of the work accomplished on the con-
tract since ii was awarded two and
a half months ago. When we recall
the fact that the jail building was to
have been completed in four months
after the contract was awarded. it
appears now impossible for the work
to be completed within thar zine,
and the county may go on paving
ljail rent and board 70 a neighboring
county Indefinitely az the present
rate of prOgrcss-Or nCn-prOs"e7s-
on the jail AS TO the court house,
it also appears equally unlikely that
it can be comp He'd within the year
stipulated in the contrat.
So much for the status Of the con-
istruction work on this important
county contract up to date. The
Herald feels sure that no n can
credit the contemplate insinuation
made by its local contemporary that
the report or our local
the report Of our local news
gatherer, who is a recent arrival in
Brownsville. was published with any
intent TO mislead either the public
in general or the county commission
ers. The latter can see plainly for
themselves the state of affairs at
the site of our new court house and
Jail.
The commissioners are bound to
see tina the work has been ineXplic-
ably delayed, and no doubt will take
such steps as may be advisable to put
the matter on a satisfactory basis.
