A MeRETRlcloUs MEASURE KILLED.

IT HE HERALD congratulates the state senate on
its action in defeating the so-called Mayors
Emancipation bill In this instance sound judgment
has prevailed. The measure it will be remembered
placed in the hands mayors of certain cities in
Guiding salt Lake the sole power of appointments
and removals of heads of departments. The present
law makes it necessary for the council to consens TO
appointments and removals. In appointments by the
heads Of departments, confrmaton by the council
and approval by the mayor are both necessary.
Thus the executive and the legislative departments
act as a check other. This is the rule under
which appointments by the president of the United
States made, and 1t is a good enough rule for
Salt Lake City. We don't hear any objections to the
statute which requires the senate to confirm presi-
Dental nominations, and there numerous instances
record where the senate has refused to confirm the
appointees OF the chief executive
Presidents usually, they should be- the very
abest most upright and conscientious men in the
whole nation. Nevertheless it deemed unwise to
give them the sole power TO say who shall and who
