For instance so reliable a paper as the New York Times says of the Florida senatorial election: The Florida case la one of peculiar turpitude, because the game was played between members of the same party, and the defeated men repre sented a railroad company.

His next step was the publication of a weekly newspaper. The Philadelphia Times, of which he is now the editor, has long been recognized as one of the ablest metropolitan ‘journals in the country. The Green Cove Spring is the authority for the statement that a firm in Macon, Ga., recently shipped a few watermelons from that city to Liverpool. England,* and the melons Btood the trip so well that but two were injured en roufe and the others reached their destination in l>erfect condition and were sold at 75 cents each, if England should become a market for Southern melons the crop may become far more profitable than it has been In the past. In tbe appointment of Mr. John W Malone Judge of the Second Circuit, made vacant by the death of Judge Da vid S. Walker, Governor Fleming has done himself infinite credit. Mr. Ma. lone is a lawyer of excellent capacity and is the kind of man that just judges are made of. He is a Florida raised boy, and one the whole State may well feel proud of. He was born in Florida, rais ed in Florida, educated in Florida, mar ried in Florida, or, at least, married a Florida girl, and is a thorough-going Floridian. He possesses a fine physique and is strictly temperate.

The revised statutes of the United States provides that it shall be the doty’ of the Executive of the State from which any senator has been chosen to certify his election under seal of the State to the President of the Senate of the United States, and Governor Flem ing, not believing that Mr. Wilkinson Call was constitutionally elected a Sena tor from this State, gives his reasons, in a very able and carefully prepared document, why he does not believe he was elected, and why, therefore, be can not certify, under the seal of the State, to his election. The Governor covers the whole ground ; he gives all the arguments on the subject, those holding that Mr. Call was duly and constitutionally elected, and those holding that he was noi so elected, and reaches his conclusion after deliberate and careful consideration, and we do not believe that it is possible to controvert bis position without dis torting the plain meaning of words and doing violence to the plain construction of language. Tiie Governor cites the case of Mr. Harlan, of lowa, as a case directly in point, amt with a remarkable similarity as to the number of votes both Mr. Har lan and Mr. Call received. The cases in every way are almost identical. The Governor quotes the convincing argu ment of Senator Bayard on this case, which was so clear that the Senate de cided that Mr. Harlan was not entitled to his seat. The following is the quota tion: "On this state of facts, the question which I suppose to arise Is, whether the Legislaiure of a State, under the language of a Federal Constitu tion, delegating to the Legislature the right to elect Senators of the United States, is to be taken to mean the Individual members of the Legisla ture, or the body or bodies of which the Legisla ture Is composed. I suppose the term as used in the Constitution means the bodies of which the Legislature is composed. The honorable Senator from Georgia, if I appreciate his argnmeut, in sisto that the power being delegated to the Legis lature is vested in the members of the Legisla ture, and that whenever a majority of the mem bers of the whole Legisleture, under a law as that existing in lows, vote for a man, he is elected, though one of the co-ordinate branches of that Legislature may not vote for him, and may, as a body, refuse to go into an election. Sir, I hold it to be a principal of law which has, I think no exception that where two integral bodies are authorized to do an act, it cannot be done without the consent of those two integral bodies. They must both be present and act in the matter, or there can be no validity in the act done. This is a universal law. I can call to mindjno case where a contrary principle pre vails, whether relating to legislative action or corporate action. Indeed, in reference to corpo rations, It has been decided over and ovei again that where there are two integral bodies who must concur in an act, they must both be present and act upon tbe matter as bodies, not as indi viduals.’ • In the face of this language, so strong ly and forcefully put by Senator Bayard, and the numerous other authorities cited by Governor Fleming, the Times- Union pretends that the Governor’s ar guments are weak and his conclusions absurd, and endeavors to bolster up its own position by a contribution from Mr. A. W. Cockerell, in which that gentle man seeks to show that a majority of botii houses does not mean a majority of both houses, but that itjsimply means a majority of tbe two in their joint ca pacity. But Governor Fleming shows the utter absurdity of this forced and distorted meaning of words about which ordinarily there would be no misunder- SMTrarmg. rr trrese woras mean tnat to elect a Senator it requires simply.fifty one, that being a majority of all the members of the Legislature, as that body is composed of an even hundred, wbv the necessity of the two houses meeting in joint assembly at all? The lower branch of the Legislature is composed of a greater number than fifty-one and that body could have acted independ ently of the Senate in the matter of the election of a Senator. But the Consti tution did not mean, in saying a ma jority of both houses a majority of one house and less tbau a majority of the other. See how clear Gov. Fleming makes this point: li the construction contended for iu the argu meut for Mr. Gall is correct, it would follow as a logical sequence that the House of Representa tives, which in the number of Us members con stitutes a majority of all the members elected to both bouses,, ts competent to elect a Senator without participation by the Senate: and, in deed, witb 51 members of tbe Honse present and voting, aud no member of the Senate, and 26 votes cast for a l individual (being a majority of 51) would elect a Senator. Would it be con tended by any one that snob an election would be the choosing of a Senator by the Legislature, as required by the Constitution? Governor Fleming’s opinion is upheld by the ablest lawyers and the ablest statesmen of the country, and there seems uow but little doubt that his opinion will be accepted by the Senate as conclusive, and Mr. Call’s so-called election, not being as prescribed by tiie Constitution, tiie next question to be settled is, who will Governor Fleming appoint to supply the vacancy caused by the constitutional failure of the legislature to elect his successor? Of course the Times-Union and its following wants him to appoint Mr. Chipley. But Governor Fleming, hav ing done himself and his administra tion supreme credit so far, he will hardly now do that which his bitterest foes would rejoice most to see him do. And we say this in no disparagement or disrespect to Mr. Chipley. He has ren dered valuable service to the State; the State perhaps owes him a greater debt of gratitude than any other man in it. He is an active, pushing citizen and a sound, faithful and zealous Democrat; but his own deliverance on this subject makes his selection out of tiie question. Mr. Dunn, in our opinion, wonld make a devoted, laborious and faithful officer, but his appointment, after his letter of renunciation, would make his position an awkward one, so iiis selec tion is also out of the question. So of others that we might name. It occurs to us that Gov. Fleming not only owes a duty to himself by main taining and upholding the credit ol his administration, which up to the present time has been so non partisan and able, but iu the selection of a proper peisou for this office he owes a special doty to the Democratic party. His selection should be one, other things being equal, against whom there should be the least feeling. It is a patent fact that the Democratic party is uow torn by dissensions and factions, and is further disturbed by the occasional mumblings of the organiza tion of a third party, so tire Governor’s appointment should be a man who, more than all others, could bring all discordant factions together and present as solid a front in the next campaign as the exigency of things will udmit of. We believe that Mr. Wm. D. Blox ham would, more thau any other man, do this. We were not the best pleased in tbe world with the manner of his withdrawal from the Senatorial race, but his very attitude in that race makes him the man who would be the beat pleasing, or at any rate, the least dis pleasing, to either faction. There is no disguising tbe fact that he is still the popular idol of the Democratic party and that his popularity is not confined to the boundary line ol either faction, and be, more than any other man, will bring these factions more closely to gether. Tne appointment of most any other man will intensify, rather than soften,the feelings that now se| arate these factions. There now remains bat little doubt that tbe appointment of Gov. Fleming will be seated, and we are sincere in tbe belief that Mr.. Bloxham's appointment will be a long step in destroying the bit terness of these factional feuds which for tiie Eecurity of the Democratic party in the next campaign is all important. It is agreed that it should be unified and strengthened, and wiiose but Bloxham’s appointment would have that desirable effect ? The circumstances of the times and the turmoil in which the Demo cratic party finds itself, and the dangers which encompass jt, makes nis tbe most fitting appointment. THE TICKETS FOR ’Ol2. Ur Ift of Political Discussions by Leading Journals. Boston Globe (Detn.): Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, seems to be worrying the Presidential slate-makers a good deal by his clean and vigorous administration of the State’s affairs. This is one of the penalties of attending strictly to business nowadays. Knoxville Tribune (Dem.): It is an nounced that Gov. Leon Abbett, of New Jersey, is an active candidate fcT Vice- President on the Democratic ticket. It is said that the New Jersey delegation will be solid for Cleveland and Abbett. The West will probably have something to say about that ticket. New York and New Jersey are too close together. Providence Journal (Ind.) : Governor Boies will, of course, be hailed as a Presi dential possibility if he carries lowa again this year, but it is decidedly premature for the enthusiastic Democrats of that State to be shouting for his nomination at this early day. He has the prestige of former success and present possession in his fight for re-election, but lowa is far from being a Democratic State beyond a question. Boston Herald (Ind.) : After the list of the alleged anti Cleveland Democratic leaders of Massachusetts is lessened by subtracting those who have not been Democrats of late years, those who dis claim being in sympathy with the move ment against Mr. Cleveland and those whose names have been used without their knowledge, it will be found that the men left then are confined principally to un successful applicants for office while Mr. Cleveland was President. Richmond Times (Dem.) : The Times has always from the very beginning of the rivalry between ex President Cleveland Governor Hill, or any other Democratic aspirant for political honors, recognized the bad policy of censuring one at the ex pense of the other. For apart from the fact that such a course has a tendency to foment dissensions in the party, the paper or the political leader who indulges in it lays itself or himself open to gross self stultification. If it or he is a loyal Demo crat they both must give their support to the their party. Chicago Nows (Ind.) : Whether or not Mr. Blaine’s name will be brought before next year's Republican Convention will not depend upon, thia-vooifaroug. iitantitm’’- in his behalf by the Wolverines. There is a distinct public impression that Michi gan’s anxiety to see Blaine dragged into the Presidential race is that Alger may climb on the shoulders of the man from Maine to get within hailing distance of any office in sight. Philadelphia Ledger (Ind.): The im pression still prevails that Mr. Blaine’s health will not permit him to be a candi date, and that he will so state if occasion renders it necessary for him to do so. In that event there can be but little reason to doubt that Mr. Harrison will be Ihe first, best found choice of the Republican party Kearney (Neb.) Hjib (Rep.): Blaine and Paddock will sweep Nebraska like a whirlwind. With Blaine and Paddock there will be no fear of a doubtful Repub lican State in the Northwest. St, Paul Globe (Ind. Dem.): The friends of Cullom are generally personally hostile to Harrison. They are looking for chances to work in the dagger between his ribs. Cullom has never been anything but a politician, and has acquired the oleaginous habit of those who slip into nice things all the time. His cause has al ways floated on prosjierous waters, and he has faith in his star. He has the per sonal popularity of a genial fellow, and has never been caught in any political scandals. It may be that his boom will be worth watching in the quiet hours of leisure before the political storm. Delightful Resorts.

On the contrary they are j the critics and censors of the great city ! dailies. They have more time to ttrnk than the writers for the latter, wiiose I often hasty and superficial editorials are i frequently of lees real value than the productions of the man who has a we ek in which to mature his reflections upon the topics of his choice. The esuntry newspapers are in many cases the sources of much original thought that gets into the city dailies; the nurseries of ideas which are transplanted in the city hot houses.” Standing, with reluctant feet, Where womanhood and.cbildhood meet Tis a supreme ’moment.

THE OCALA BANNER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1891. FLORIDA AT THE WORLD’S FAIR. Should not be Outdone by Cali fornia. Chicago, Ills., August 2, '9l. To the Editor of the Banner. Though I am fanned by tbe breezes from Lake Michigan instead of thoee from the Gulf or Atlantic, your valued paper still reaches me coming by way of Washington, D. C., where it is first read by my partner, Mr. J. T. King, and then forwarded here; and I was much phased to see in your issue of tbe 17th instant that Putnam county bad selected dele gates to a proposed convention, sion to be held at Orlando, for the purpose of devising some plan to have Florida rep resented at the World’s Columbian Ex position. I hope Marion and all the other counties of the state will be well represented at this gathering and that there may result from a full discussion of the question some extensive and practicable arrangement by which Flori da’s many advantages may be properly set forth at wbat is to be destined the “greatest show on earth.” In my judg ment, the legislature pursued a short sighted policy in failing to make an ap propriation for this purpose, always sup posing it had the constitutional authority to do so; and now the next best tiling to be done is for the enterprising people of tbe state to come together in convention, Lave a free exchange of views, and re solve that the state shall be represented. I have no Florida land to sell and so am free from the suspicion of being a “boomer,” but I have traveled over tbe state from one end to tbe other, and from its eastern to its western limit, be coming well convinced uf Its many ad vantages that two years ago I decided to make it my future home; and this, too, after having seen something of more than half the stales of the union. But while it is apparent to one who has traveled over it that the state has many advantages and almost boundless re sources, these advantages and resour ses must be made known to the world if they are to be made useful, and iu no way can they be so thoroughly and widely made known as by a giand dis play at the World’s Fair. It was my good fortune to visit the exposition at Ocala twice last winter, and while I know that if the people of the whole state will unite, they can make a greater display than was there exhibited, that aggregation of the products of the state was a magnificent testimonial to what could be done and was being done on Florida toil. Such a display l.ere in 1893 will do more for tiie advancement of the state in material prosperity than it will cost, ten times over. There are two things which Florida very much needs; first, men and money to develop her natural resourses and im prove the many advantages with which nature has blessed her; and second, a market for her products. Judicious ad vertising will secure both of these, and the World’s Fair will be an advertising sheet spreading all over this continent and having supplements for the conti nents beyond the seas! The best class of emigrants that ever come to America are those from the old mother country, England, uo mat ter what may be said of German thrift and Irish pluck, and that England will take a deep interest in the World’s Fair, make a grand display, and furnish a large quota of visitors to it, is now as sured. Commissioners from here have recently arrived in England and their retention has been most flattering in deed, and the interest manifested by English capitalists and journalists in the Fair clearly Bhows that England is alive to her best interests and will not let pass unimproved so good an opportunity to advertise tier wares, while at the same time her enterprising sons will be “spy ing out the promised land.” But how are they to know where lies the “garden .of the gods” unless the inhabitants of the garden points out tbe way? Much English money is already invested in Florida and some of her best citizens were once subjects of queen Victoria, and it is a s'mple question of whether we want mote of the same sort. Bat we not only want men with brains and money to develop tbe re sources which we have in plenty, but wlieu these resourses are made fruitful we want, or wilt want, a market for our products; and just here we should not forget that Florida lias competition all along ihe line. South Carolina com petes witli her in ric? and in her newly discovered treasure of phosphate; Louis iana competes with her in sujar, while California is entering all her markets as a rival iu fruits and early vegetables. But Florida has two advantages over her rival on the Pacific; which it is tasking the energy of the latter to overcome. First, Florida is nearer the great mark ets of the east, and second, her vege tables and fruits, where known, have preference in the market; but what California lacks is natural advantages her peoplo make up in persevcrence and energy, so that in this market, which is in Florida’s legitimate terri tory, I find the products of California crowding the stalls and shops, while Florida seems to have modestly taken a a back seat. So much is our Pacific rival alive to tbe importance of adver tising her wares that the last legislature in that state made an appropriation of $300,000 to be expended in an exhibit at the Fair. And Florida l.as appropriated nothing! A recent dispatch from Sacra mento, however, says that State Comp troller Colgan doubts the constitution ality of the appropriation act, and will nse none of the funds until he has ob tained a decision from the state supreme court on that point. There is mncli activity manifested in World’s Fair matters, a great deal of work is being done and it appears now that all will be in readiness for the for mal opening in October, 1892, when the buildings are to be completed, though the Exposition proper will not open till May, 1893. Bat while that seems a long way in the lutnre, the time is short for preparations on so grand a scale, and if Florida expects to secure desirable space ami make a creditable showing, she has not a day to spare. Then let every county in the state send able representa tives to Orlando instructed to devise the best uteaus of showing to the assembled multitude which will be here from every part of the inhabited globe, what a grand country we have between tbe At lantic and the Gulf, where extremes of heat nor cold never come, where the poor find remunerative employment, tbe man of means profitable fields for investment, the invalid restored healt h and the sportsman a paradise.

Those "Good Old Times.” The gloomy vies given by political agitators and reformers are no worse now than they were in that period of our country’s history which is generally referred to as the “good old times.” As early as 1823, then a member of the lower house of Congress, Mr. Henry Clay gave this distressing picture of the condition of the country, which lor ac tual lamentation and distress beats many of the Alliar.ee talks of our day. Listen to Henry’s “ tale of woe:” “In casting our eyes around us, tiie most prominent circumstance which fixes our attention and challenges our deepest regret, is the general distress which pervades the whole conntry. It is forced upon us by numerous facts of the most incontestable character. It is indicated by the diminished exports of native produce; by the depressed and reduced state of our foreign naviga tion ; by our diminished commerce; successive uolhreshed crops of grain perisiiing in our barns for want of a market; by tiie alarming diraunition of our circulating medium; by the nu merous bankruptcies ; by a universal complaint of the want of employment, and a consequent reduction of the wages of labor; by the ravenous pursuit after public situations, not for the sake of their honors and the performance of their public duties, but as a means of Crivate subsistence and above all, y the low and depressed state of the value of almost every description of the whole mass of property of the nation, which has on an average sunk not less than about fifty per cent, within a few years It is most painfui t o me to attempt to sketch, or to dwelt on the gloom of this picture. But I have ex aggerated nothing. Perfect fidelity to the original would have authorised me to have thrown en deeper and darker hues.” The Development of the North west. “The. Great Northwest” becomes a very indefinite phrase as the frontier moves westward with each decade. The new states that have recently been admitted to tbe Union have a good title to tbe old term “The Great Northwest,” aud the two Dakotas, Wyoming, Mon tana, Idaho and Washington make a great empire of new possibilities. The Chicago North-Wertern Railway, that once covered the “Old Northwest,” min istered to its growth and greatness and was a great missionary factor in the de velopment of northern Illinois, Wis consin, lowa, Northern Michigan, Minne sota and Nebraska. This was the Old Northwest, and now, by branch lines or by its alliance with the Union Pacific R’y it stretches out its protecting arms and hand of help to the six new states which have begun tiieir march in the path of progress. What a mighty tide of traffic is served by th® thousands of miles of railway that compose tbe Chicago. Union Pa cific and Northwestern Line! Reaching sixteen states and the territory of Utah, and touching more than 2,500 cities and towns, there is sure to be a wonderful growth and development, and some where in this mighty empire, there is al ways the high tide of prosperity and great opportunities for capital, brainß and energy. The splendid vestibuled trains of the North-Western, which provide all the luxuries of travel, convey the traveler comfortably and safely to nearly every part of the “Great Northwest.” One of these trains runs through, solid, from Chicago to Portland, Oregon, with sleep ing car from Chicago to San Fransisco without change—another conveys pass engers between Chicago and Denver with the loss of only one business day en route, ana still another takes them to the Twin Cities of the northwest (St. Paul and Minneapolis,) or to the rapidly growing metropolis, Duluth, without change, in cars that represent the high est skill and ingenuity of the best man ufacturerers in tbe world; combining in the highest degree, elegance, satety and luxurious comfort. Excellent meals in North-Western Dining-Cars, which enjoy a national rep utation for excellence, are served at the uniform price of cents each, and Free llroHiritig Oilnti C%m an? run OH llmwgtl trains between Chicago and Council Bluffs, Omaha, Denver and Portland, Oregon.
