MnnicInnI EOYarnment.

The New York Times, in support of
the bill to take from the boa'd Of alder
men the right of acting upon the
mayors appointments, advances the idea
that the municipal corporation is a crea
ture of state law and has administrative
functions only; "there is no legislative
department, the laws affecting the city
being state laws, and the ordinances of
the board of aldermen being in no sense
legislation !" reflections upon "the ne
cessity of a check upon the executive
power through the legislative in the
matter OF appointments have no applica
tion whatever, the assumed analogy
between municipal corporation and the
national government having no exist
ence." Ii the Times means to apply this
idea to all the city governments of the
country 1t is not tenable. The New York
board of aldermen is constituted some
what differently, we believe, from the
ordinary town council with common
and select branches but the latter un.
Questionably have Legislative powers and
their ordinances are legislation in GER
tain sense and in their sphere. The
general organization of city govern
ments in this country with an executive
and a legislative department, con
sisting OF two branches, is mod
eled after our federal system. The two
branches of council, and the necessit y
of their concurrence to pass an ordi
nance, are intended TO make them a
check upon each other; and the execu
tive department Is check upon theil
joint action.
The analogy yofmunicipal corporations
10 our federal and state system is very
close. This may not be the best form OF
city government, but no more popular
one has yet been devised, even tn,
Bullitt bill, for Philadelphia, being stub
bornly resisted, because of fear that III
investment of the mayor with inordinat'

A ROW IN LHE wIawsM
An Assault ana rsttery Ease GrowiuE out
OF the Indian show.

Yesterday Harry Lofever, who is one OF
the agents connected with the band OF
Indians now performing in MTnncrchor
hall, had hearing before Alderman sam o
son Cn tho charge Of assault aud battery
preferred by John Marks, and was com
mitted for trial at court. After the hear
ing an application was made for writ OF
habeas corpus to ascertain whether there
was sufficient evidence on which to hold
Lcfever. The man entered bail until this
morning at 10 o'clock, when hearing
was had before Judge Livingston.
The evidence of young Marks was that
he went to Me lnerchor hall on Thursday
night to see the show. There was a
tremendous crowd at the outside door, aud
he was standing on the inside when
Leftover struck him in the face with his
fist. James Coyle, who YVES a special
officer at the place, testified that he saw
the affair and Lefever did not strike
Marks, but rcersly pushed him after ask
ing him 10 stay back. The court thought
a prima facia case had been made out and
it would he for jury TO settle tho issue
raised. The bail was reduced to SlOO
which was promptly furnished by lie

TIE temperate article from the CATH
olic World, which we reprint to-day, is
very comprehensive, reasonable and
lucid contribution tO the discussion OF
the liquor question from the standpoint
of that large body of conservative Chris.
tian people, who are anxious TO mitigate
| and willing TO check by reSOlute means
the evils Of intemperance and the abuses
of the liquor traffic, but who are not
willing TO subscribe TO false dogma
and who fear the effects of an impracti,
cable policy upon good cause. This
article was written in answer to letter
from Neal Dow, in which he declared
that it was impossible to regulate the
liquor traffic by any process of law sc
as 10 diminish to any appreciable extent
sumption upon which many who labor
in the cause of prohibition with more
zeal and sincerity than discretion pro-
ceed and in their controversy with those
who differ from them, they too frequent
ly display an intemperance which does
them discredit and prejudices their
cause. While not agreeing with all the
conclusions of the writer, to whom we
refer our readers, every thoughtful man
interested alike in preserving personal
liberty and in promoting the welfare of
the community will recognize that there
is much good sense and practical philos
uphy in the views advanced.

THIS debt of eos, 900 was contracted last
year by the mayor aud councils without
devisipg any means to pay for II, aud so
the finance committee very wisely say IN
concluding their report Tho cost of the
steam pump, now being erected at the
water works, is not included in above
estimate OF expenses. Councils ordered
the pump, but made no provisions to pay
the same. We refer the matter TO coun-
oils for their action, whether they will
authorize q loan or increase tho tax two
mills to pay the cost, amounting to about
eos. 900. "-Erdmintr.
As councils did at special meeting in
July last authorize the water committee
to contract with Mr.. Worthington for
the new 5000, 900 gallon pump, and did
also agree to the manner in which il
should be paid for, in Part, it was the
duty Of the finance committee to provide
for the 6nal payment. The people bad
said, through their representatives, We
want this pump" There was part of
an unexpended loan made in 1874 for
water purposes available, and of THIS
councils, by resolution on October 81
last, authorized the mayor to sell Sli 900,
leaving the balance to be provided for
by the finance committee of the city.
But the chairpan of this committee has
always been opposed to this new pump.
He was willing to run on until we should
have a'break down of the old pump,
and then by some ill-advsed patch
work, such as we have seen on the streets
for the last two years, have the pump
repaired. The public have never fully
realized how near the 5000, 900 gallon
pump has been TO disastrous break
down. The chairman of the finance
committee knew that the new pump had
been ordered by councils knew also
that councils ordered the loan of $4,000
to make the first payment he therefore
tried to mislead the public by adding TO
his estimate Of expenditures the remark
that it would be necessary to " increase
he tax two mills to pay the cost , amount.
