Ex-Governor LETCnER on Tuesday spoke
the truth about biesnial sessions of the Le-
gislature. We remember we'll the abortive
attempt to establish such sessions. The
economists imagined that great things would
be mplisbed by them, and were triumph
ant at the adoption Of their project; but
when the time came for putting it into prac-
tice il proved an utter failure. AS Governor
LETcHlR says, the Executive or the mem.
bers of the Legislature themselves found the
an dual session necessary, and the constitu.
tional provision was cvaded. We doubt whe.
ther biyhly.civilizsd people can do without
an annual conference Of the people through
their law.making representatives. Liberty
demands it. 1t is only when a people are
unable to legslate for themselves, and there
fore no longer fit for freedom, that they
either diminish the frequency of their legis-
latiye assemblages or abolish them alto
sether. When that time comes an emperor
will be heaven sent blessing.

The Amended Charter.

At the meeting OF the Council on Monday
there were present twenty, and 1t would
have required unanimous vote to have
passed any appropriation at all. Unless the
amendment which forces upon the Coun-
ell something like unanimous vote to pass
any appro 2riation shall be repealed by the
Legislature We can hardly see how the city
is to progress at all. 1t is now comparable

taken by the enemy Of every mistake Of the

the sooner we abandon the defensive" and
assume the 'aggressive' in this contest. the
better. We should create our own Issues,
name our own standard-bearers, and select
our own fighting ground in the coming

The vote to reconsider prevailed-ll9 to
