THE CITY PRINTING.
CeprcrEead Ignorance and its Consequences
The IreppeFs Caught IN their OWN "Cln.''

The NiEccSen coDcern is much distressed by the
action Of the Council at Its last mcoins Ia voting
Ito Times aud Union ont, and the TRIBUNE and
Zeitnng in. IS Corporation papers. It sets up va
Eiors "sy Gisms to prove that 1t is still the Cor
poratlon paperl For lpstance:-"n tho Council
acted in its Executive capacity 1t can not revoke
aud It's power waa exhausted 4 week ago." I'd 'tf
It acted IN its Legislative capacity the subject had
been placed beyond Reconsideration BY the opera
tion parliamentary law 8. ''The MsyoE has
the veto power"
The trst assumption is very stupid one. An
Executive can appoint and revoke m appointment
just Is often a. he p1eases--unless re-
strained by express legal enactment All
Executive officers 90 this constantly. Presidents,
Governors, Sheri6s and Mayoss arn in the habit
ofmaking appointments and Afterwards rcvoking

This ended the matter 10 fax ~ those papers 2re

Council should proceed to designate two cor
porat}on papers (oue English and one Gcrman)+
which was sdopted, and The TRmusE was duly
elected; also the Zeitnn2. To say that question

II the riseexeu concern has lost tbs printing
