THE POINT INVOLVED.

The senate will be called upon to set
tie point of some interest in the case
of the Florida senatorship. WILKINSON
CALL, the former senator, appears with
credentials signed by the secretary Of
the state of Florida showing his cleo
ton by the legislature. Another man,
named DAVIDSON. comes with a certifi-
cate of appointment by the governor.
CALL received a majority of the votes Of
the aggregate membership of the legis-
lature, but when that body met in joint
session, majority of the members Of
the house being opposed to CALL, alb
scented themselves. The only question
is, whether the law requires quorum
of each house in the joint ballot. As
both the applicants are Democrats, the
question will probably be determined
upon its legal merits. with no mixture
OF partisanship. The phraseology of
the congressional act of 1866. prepared
by Senator TRUMBULL, regulating the
matter, is there being a majority of
all the members elected to both houses
present and voting" Does 'both
houses" mean each house, is the point
to be determined.
Up to the passage of this act in 1866
there was no general law on the sub
ject. 1t was possible for one branch of
the legislature in some of the states, as
New York, to defeat any election by
not going into joint session. A ma
Jority in one house that would be a
minority in the joint session would
scatter its votes and make no choice,
thus defeating the condition requisite
for the joint convention. The con-
gressional act was passed to put it ont
of the power of majority iii one house
to defeat an election. The Florida case
affords one of the contingencies it was
apparently designed to prevent. The
opponents of CALL in the house, having
one or two majority, abSented them
selves from the joint session TO raise
the issue that a quorum Of ''both
houses" was not present. If they are
correct, the law is of little force, for a
majority in either house can defeat an
election and throw the selection into
the hands of the governor.

TWO MEN PLEASED.

r. L. Miller, Bank of Minnesota was
exceedingly pleased TO see the election as
sergeant-at- arms of the house of representa-
tive, of my old friend Judge oder. He is
an ex-congressman from Ohio. came from
my district, and IS a man admirably quail
ned FOR the position in every respect. His
choice was an exceedingly wise one to my
mind.
TIT
Judge j. L. Mcdonald, Ex-Congressman-
The selection of Mr. Crisp for speaker is a
good one. He is we'll qualified for the posi-
ton, and, while either of the candidates
would have made good presiding officer 1
thlnk Mr.. Crisp possesses more of the quail
ties that go TO make the ideal speaker 1
served with all the candidates in the fftieth
congress, and that is the conclusion have
come 10 from my personal acquaintance. /
am sorry for Mr.. Mills, but ne Is not blame
less Tor the result. While an able advocate
OF tariff reform, he estranged many members
because of his temperament aud irritabllity
when his Democratic colleagues did not hap
pen to agree with him. As chairman of the
committee on ways and means ne was the
party leader in the house. and many of his
colleagues thought that he was inclined to
be too autoeratic as such, and ! have no
doubt this lost him votes. It is a great dis
appointment to him. for he has had his heart
set upon the speakership for q long time.
While sorry for him, 1 think Mr. Crisp will
make the best presiding officer He is cool,
collected and conservative, and digniiied and
urbane in his department. and will, believe,
make model speaker.
Yes. think the silver question had some
thing to do with the result. The friends of
silver believe (as do that the silver ques-
ton is as much of live issue as the tariff,
and should not be relegated to the rear. and
the friends of Cleveland, it seems, wanted to
make tariff reform the sole ISSUE and the
friends of silver voted for Crisp, and decided
the issue in his favor

CRISP AND CASTLE.

Judge Crisp is speaker. Representa-
tive Castle thus becomes the leading
Democrat of Minnesota for this con-
gress. Mr.. Hairs published letter in
favor OF Mills would have placed him
at the head if Mills had been successful,
or even if Castle had also supported
MiIls.-Red Wing Republican.
Dir. Crisp is such man as can be
trusted by any party or any people. He
can be depended upon to do the right.
as God gives him to see the right. and
we predict that his incumbency will do
much to restore to the Northern people
confidence in the new race of Southern
men.-Duluth Herald.
Should the Republicans nominate
Merriam for vice president it would cost
the presidential candidate, no matter
who he may be, 10000 votes at least in
Minnesota, for they could not vote for
president without also voting for vice
president, and that they will never do
If Merriam is the man.-Fairmont
News.
But the result has polit ical signifi-
canoe. All along the CeYe land papers
have been telling that Mr.. Mills must
be elected speaker if the free trade idea
was to be upheld. OF course, they now
claim that there is no significance to the
result, but the Washington dispatches
state that the Cleveland following feel
sore over the defeat, while the Hill
German following is c0rrespondingly
elated.-Mankato Free Press.
Castle will have the laugh on his
Democratic friends who protested so
strongly against bis voting for Crisp.
But that will not have a tendency to
make them feel any more pleasant over
the matter. Mills was the choice of the
leading Democrats OF the Twin Cities,
and they thought Castle should respect
their feelings in this matter and vote
for him. But Castle played Crisp for a
winner, and it has been demonstrated
that his judgment was first-class.

A FISH STORY.

1t has been matter of pulpit, or at
least ministerial, discussion in the coast
regions in the East whether the profess
siOnal fisherman can be a Christian.
The disposition to generalize from an
obnoxious concrete is carried too far.
Some of the disciples were in the pisca-
tory vocation. There are no doubt mod
ern instances in W hicn the men who
fish for a living have exhibited the
Veracity and assortment of virtues of
the average amateur. The incident OH
tine Delaware coast last week may come
ito this category. Some fishermen in
pursuit of their calling came upon
big sperm whale wrecked and
lodged upon the reefs. 1t was
small bonanza to them. The prize was
made fast and duly prepared for the
various salable uses. In laying open
the main cetaceOus chamber they were
aStOnlshed and delighted to find on an
upper shelf several champagne bottles
and jug of old rye. the latter labeled
''for JONAH" AffidavitS are made to
the exact truth OF the story, and it is in
evidence that the fishermen all became
drunk and the jug became empty. This
Is the first direct information as to the
equipment furnished JONAH when lie
was cast adrift. There is doubt, how
ever, that the Delaware fishermen are
Christians.

HURTS THE FAIR.

The suave gentlemen who have been
about Europe as committees represent
ing the worlds fair have had a good
deal of picnic. They found abundance
OF people ready to participate with
them IN banquets, and too courteous to
say anything but pleasant words about
the cause they represented. 1t is not
surprising that they fancied they had
made great success of their mission.
From other sources, however. the de-
pictions are not SO roseate. Consuls
and others who see the situation when
company manners are not on parade
report quite differently. They find that
the MCKINLEY business is really Sc
rious barrier to the desired participation
of some of the foreign countries. The
impression is met that the tariff legisla-
ton of the country is designed to shut
them out from trade, and it is not worth
while to put their goods on exhibition
in a country that discriminates adj
versely to them. There may be some
moderation of this feeling, but it still
exists widely, and is used to the preju
dice of the exhibit.

MISS HUNTTNGTON'S TIGHTS.

There need be no worry on the part

ton Herald.
Agnes Huntington's tights are to

They have already appeared before a
large number of lay judges. who seem

The supreme court, however, will not

legal standpoint, in order to ascertain
their relation to the tariff law.-Phila-

1t is said that Miss Agnes Hunting
toms tights are likely to find their way
