settle down over the country.

dates, and if favorable to the ma
jority, should have been declared
elected Notwithstanding the lille
gal ruling of the Mayor.
Suppose the Mayor would de-
clare by a ruling that two is ma
jority of five, or that the three
Democratic members were not en-
titled to vote in the deliberations
of the council, would his ruling
make that law?
A presiding officer has certain
duties to perform, and when, in
the opinion of the majority over
which he presides, his rulings are
arbitrary or in violation of his
authority, he can be voted down
by majority of that body, and
when voted down the only thing
he has to do Is to submit or re-
sign, and if he does not choose
one of these, impeachment pro-
ceedings are next in order.
We trust, however, that Mayor
Fournet will recognize his error.
and that things in the council will
hereafter run smoothly.

SATURDAY, June 9. 1900.
The New Town Council.


held their first meeting at four
o'clock in the evening with the
idea of organizing. but as the
council is divided, three Democra-
tic members having been elected,
who are r. j. Bienvenu, Edmond
C. VOORHEES,, and III. P. Olivier,
the Independents electing the Ma
yor, H. P. Fournet and two men,
bers, J. E. Bertrand and T. L.
Broussard, and due to one little
conflicting clause that slipped in
the charter, the Mayor with the
minority of the council, seems to
be disposed to rule the council,
and the majority are liable to let
themselves ruled.
The Charter says:
OFFICERS AND THEIR ELECTION.
The municipal government of the town
of st. MartinvilIe. La, and the admins
tratiOn Of its affairs shall be vested In a
town council consisting Of Mayor and
five c0uncilmen. Half Of the number of
the full number Of councilmen and the
Mayor or In the absence Of the Mayor, a
majority Of the councilmen shall cOnsti-
tute quorum for the transanction of
business.
The other officers Of the corporation
shall be a secretary. who shall also be
treasurer, and town tax collector, and
such other officers ss the Torn Council
may from time to time direct, who shall
be appoiSted By the town council and
shall hold their respective offices until
expiration Of the term In which they
are appointed.
The above in the plainest Ian
guage says that the town council
shall appoint all officers of that
body, the only duty of the Mayor
is to commission those officers,
and that is what is the meaning of
the little clause defining the du-
ties of the mayor, which says:
HE shall, by and wiM the con-
sent Of the majority of the council,
appoint all officers in the employ
of the tOpn." This little clause
means simply that the Mayor
shall appoint or commission these
officers after they have been cleo
ted by the council, it does not in
any way give him the power to
elect them, as the charter provides
for the election of such officers, in
the clause entitled Officers and
their election" as quoted above.
In the miscellaneous provisions
OF the charter there is a clause
which reads as follows: "The
IoWn Council shall haze po,cer
to organize, appoint, uniform and
commissions a police force, and to
as many officers as may
be necessary, to fix the salaries
and compensation of all such off,
GERS and employees appointed by
them, under the restrictions con-
tained in this act" II
These clauses giving the coun-
Ill the right to appoint all officers ,
specific, and cannot be mis- I
construed, while the privilege
'lsimed by the Mayor, is general, J
md intended simply as a COM
mission to be issued by him to :
he officers appointed by the coun- o
il. II
