Economy Again.

In last Saturdays Advocate, "Ec0no.
my" re-appears in a communication
wherein he explains the very severe crit
icisms he had applied to the City Council
for presenting set of colors to the
steamer "City of Baton Rouge"
He charges us with having made an
ungenerous attack upon him in response
to his first communication on the sub
ject above mentioned. He goes on far
ther to state that he does not belong to
our pull-backs and that he always con-
tributes his share in all enterprises which
tend towards the public good. He finally
declares that the editor of this paper has
no truer or more steadfast friend in the
city than himself.
If he will read over the communication
which brought out the structures of the
CApITOLlAN, he will surely conclude that
it could not create the impression that
twas writtenby public.spirited citizen
who felt kindly toward the City Council.
Had he signed his real name to the
communication, it is unlikely that we
would have treated the subject in the
spirit which animated us at the time,
as we believed then the writer of the
complaint to be different sort of man,
than he ,'ays he is in his second commu-
niCat0n.
We dearly prize the friendship of every
good citizen and would not, knowingly,
wound the feelings of such an one.
" hen we do. we are ever ready, as it
seems the right thing to do IN this in
stance, to.eXtend the hand Of reconCIlia-
ton over any temporary chasm which
may have been opened.
Economy is certainly in error in be-
lieving that the City Council cannot con-
stitutionally, vote sums Of money out the
City'S contingent fund for such objects
as the one in question: The Constitu-
tional provision has reference to dona-
tons of real estate or other property,
and not for funds provided under
regular budget
