With due respect to the Banner, we do
mot believe that the Governor " has de-
clored q SocGscy 10 the Office Of consta-
BILE" in Marion county. The Law re-
quires the Governor to declare vacant
the Office Of every officer required by law
to execute an official bond, when q judg-
nient shall be obtained against such ofii-
Ger for q breach of the conditions of
said bond" We do not believe any such
tedious and useless process has ever been
instituted against any constable in the
State. But suppose the Governor did
declare q vacancy in the Office of consta-
ble-is that reason why he has the
power to declare vacancy in the office
of United States Senator?
A Constable is a State officer, subject
to the State Constitution and laws, so far
as the tenure of his Office is concerned. A
United States Senator is not State OIL
Ger, and 80 far as the tenure of his office
is concerned, is subject alone to the Uni
ted States Constitution and the will of the
United States Senate, which body is the
sole judge of the elections, returns and
qualifications of its own members" Can't
the Banner see the difference between
State officer and one who is not?
The doctrine advanced by the Banner,
that the Governor can remove or declare
vacant the seats of L. S. Senators, is Ger
tainlY novel, and one never thought OF
before. What time we would have 1t
such was the law. The Republican Gov
ernors turning out and declaring vacant
the seats of Democratic Senators and
uice versa But then the Banner was
issued on April I'd, and this must have
been written the day before-all FOOLS
day-and intended for a huge joke.

Instead of the late cold weather beng
an injury to this State, We have every rea-
son to believe that it will turn out a great
benefit Hitherto our new settlers have
confined their operations TO orange grow
ing, to the detriment of all other indus
tries, but siuce the freeze numbers are
turning their attention to many minor
agricultural industries that must tend to
develop the State to much greater ex-
tent than anything that has taken
place hitherto. Numbers are planting
vegetables, grain and fodder plants,
peaches, Japan persimmons, etc, to such
an extent that plants are not procurable,
and we trust that our nurserymen will
takecare to have good stock Of these
plants to oil the demand by next season.
There are many small fruits that will give
quicker returns than oranges, and a d.
versity of crops will tend TO advance the
State and bring more money into it,

In strike, such as has been going on
for several weeks in the Southwest, it is
almost impossible to restrain altogether
the passions of the men involved, and
such acts as" the killing" of engines and
similar unlawful proceedings was not un-
expected; but we had hoped that the
country would be saved the disgrace Of
rioting Endd open warfare, of shootings and
killings we had hoped that American
workingnnen could go out on strike
without resorting to such violence as that
at Fort Worth; that labor question:
could be settled without bloodshed. We
regret, as every friend of the railroad en-
ployes must, the attack made by the
strikers on the officers at Fort Worth
for it was an attack, such as only an enc
my makes in the midst OF war-and the
consequent loss of several lives.

SaxsnnaA Moaning NswAI
TIE Oaecono - The EAnaunds
nesolutlons.
Senator Edmnnds 10 reported to be n
very bad hum0r, aud he has good reason
10 b. The Republican Senats'rs sup.
ported his resolutions not to vote for the
confirmation of nominations in cases
where vacancies were caused by removals
unless the President furnished reasons for
the removals, and now he finds that they
do not intend to obey it. This is GER
tainiy not very happy outcome for the
Republicans of Mr.. Edmunds' extraordi-
nary effort to obstru,'t the President IN
the exercise of his right to make removals
and appointments.
The truth is, that several Of the Re
publican Senators have never felt COM
Portable in the position which the Ed
munds' resolutions place them, and IT It
had not been for the vigorous applica-
ton of the party whip they would have
abandoned Mr.. Eimunds long before the
tiresone debate on the resolutions was
concluded.
1t seems that in the Republican caucus
On Friday afternoon there was good
deal of plain talk, the effect of which was
a determination not to follow Mr. Ed
munds' lead any further in the contest
which he insists on carrying on with the
President. The nominations of those
against whom nothing Objectionable can
We found will be promptly confirmed.
The debate on the Edmunds resolu-
tions, which occupied 50 much of the time
of the Senate, and which attracted so
much attention, will, under the circum-
stances, hardly do either Mr.. Edmunds
or the Republican party any good. The
people will conclude, and that, too, very
Justly, that if the Republican Senators
were sincere in supporting the resolutions
they would have followed the course
marked out in them. Their abandonment
of them is pretty good evidence that they
regard them as wrong in purpose and
principle, and that they put them forward
not with the hope of accomplishing good,
but with the intention of securing a po-
litical advantage.
The Democratic party needs no better
campaign material for the elections next
fall than the debate on these resolutions,
and the outcome of it. The Republican
party showed itself willing to give a
false Interpretation to the constitution for
an unworthy purpose, and lacked the
courage to carry out its programme. Is
a party with such 2 record entitled To the
confidence Of the country?

HIS FIRST INTERVIEW.


Senator Jones Speaks of his Stay

HE GIVES FEW EXAMPLES OF ABsESTEEIsM.
Senator Jones continues to live quietly at the
Russell House, and is apparently entirely undis-
turbed by the numerous paragraphs concerning
his stay 10 Detroit that are floating in the press
of the country. The Senator considers it undig
nifed to pay any attention TO them. He has
persistently declined to he interviewed concern

manded that the Governor of Florida name his
successor.
II have nothing to say on that" he said. 1t
is too ridiculous to discuss"
He made the response with all the quiet dig
nity-the same quiet dignity he has maintained
during exasperating experience OF newspaper
notoriety. There was no opportunity for press
ing the question. But the Senator himself con-
tinued with what was his first public utter
ance concerning the newspaper statements He
said:
The absence Of Senator for a time from Con-
gress is not such an unprecedented thing as to
done. l have been away for from bewieen four
and five months while Congress has been sitting
No longer ago than last winter Senator Logan
was absent from Congress for entire session
on distinctly political mission, the long-drawn-
out Illinois Senatorial contest, and no one
thought of saying a word about it, Don Came
ron spent one session in Europe Senator W. 81.
Barnum, of Connecticut, was rarely in his seat
while he was 10 the Senate, and il used to be
said of the late Senator Sharon that he spent
about six months Of his six years term in Wash
ington. l simply give these examples of pro-
longed absenteeism that have not excited any
such attention as my stay here has done. The
right OF absenteeism by members of legislative |
bodies is recognized the world over. The House
Of Commons does nearly all of its business with |
about one-third Of its members present 1t is |
only at vital times that the whole body is |
brought together. The Senate has power when |

An Appeal for Aid.
KEY WEST, April AT meeting of mer-
chants held here the following appeal was
issued:
To the Citizens of the United States:
A large portion of our city having been swept
away BY the flames, our industrial occupat ons
entirely ruined and thousands of our people left
in utter destitution and distress. we find our
selves compelled to appeal TO the benevolence OF
our couutrymen and request that the ieaoing
papers receive subscriptions in our behalf and
forward the same to NJ L. Hellings. Esq, our
treasurer. WILLIAM CURRY.
Chairman Relief Committee
Through Ramon Rvero, the Secretary OF the
Cigarmakers Union of Key West, the chairman
of the relief committee has received F4oO. the
Union I.aving already distributed $500 >mong It's
distressed members. The mail s,eamI Lizzie
ing, ETC., which had been donated by III citizens
of Tampa and twenty barrels of provisions have
been sent from the United States frigaie Pow
haitian The passengers and crew OF the Morgan
steamer Whitney, which arrived to-day from
New Orleans, subscribed $75. Indications OF re-
building appear in various portions OF the burned
district The whsrves will probably be first
completed, as without them the commerce Of the
city cannot be handled nor even necessary sup
plies be landed
The citizens of other places have re-
sponded promptly and literally to relieve
the distress of the thousands rendered
homeless and destitute by the terrible
fire at Key West, and the people of Tai
lahassee will certainly contribute with
their usual liberality to relieve their suf
fering fellow citizens.
In compliance with the request en-
bodied in the above appeal, contributions
will be cheerfully received at the Flo
R,DIAN Office and promptly forwarded as
directed by Mr.. Curry, Chairman Of the
Relief Committee at Key West.
