Tho Florida Case.

The Governor of Florida refuses TO sign
the certificate (credentials) stating that
Mr.. CALL has been duly reelected United
States senator by the Legislature OF that
State. The act of Congress regulating the
election of United States senators provides
that if the Legislature of State shall fail
70 elect a senator in the usual way the
Joint assembly shall then proceed to choose
by q cira coce vote of each member present
q person for the purpose aforesaid, and the
person having majority OF all the votes OF
the said Joint assembly, q majority of all
the members elected to both houses being
present and voting. shall be declared duly
elected"
On this state Of facts the Alexandria
Gazette comments as follows:
"There are one hundred members OF the
Florida Legislature. After failing 10 elect q
senator in the usual way the Joint assembly OF
that body proceeded to elect one under the law
referred 10, and Mr.. CAN, receiving nfty-one
votes, majority Of all the members elected to
both houses, was declared duly elected. The
Governor Of Florida has refused 70 sign his GER
tincate Of election, but he must be admitted, all
the same; that is, unless the Congress shall pre-
viousiy repeal tho law II enacted for the special
purpose Of covering just such cases"
But the Constitution of the United
States is the supreme law Of the land
and that instrument provides that United
States senators shall be elected by the
legislatures of the several States. Mr..
CALL was not elected by the Legislature
Of Florida. but by members of the Legis-
lature of Florida. In other words, he was
not elected at oil.
We desire that Mr.. CALL shall be con-
tinued in the United States Senate, but
not at tho expense Of q broken Constltu-

The Alliance Convention.

The Washington Post reports Virginian
sojourning in that city for a day or two as
having said that the convention in Rich
mond on the 18th will be watched with
keen interest all over the State. We quote
from the Posts report as follows:
1.-The Alliance representatives will likely de-
mand as condition Of their continued affilia-
ton with the Democracy some stringent railroad
legislation when the State Lawmakers next con-
vene IL there Is not a disposition on the part
Of the Democratic managers TO meet them hall
way, look out for trouble in the Old Dominion.
There will be trouble in any event, because the
railroad companies will not rest quescent in the
event Of an attack on their interests"
To the action of that convention all good
Dem ocrats look with interest. We trust
that conservative counsels and action will
mark its proceedings.

Names Of Places on Waterways


"The United States Board on Geographic
Names" has made the following decisions
al the instance Of the Lighthouse Board.
They relate to geographical features upon
the sea and lake coasts and upon the navi-
gable rivers Of the United States, and con-
Germ merely the elision OF the possessive
form OF the name. In all cases the pos
sessive apostrophe has been eliminated,
while the possessive 8 has been retained only
in case il appeared necessary for euphony,
10 prevent misunderstanding, or when the
name was so firmly fixed by usage that 1t
appeared imprscticable to modify It,"

The Alliances and the Railroads.


Whatever else the Alliances as organized
bodies and Alliance members as indl-
viduals acting for themselves may differ
about they all seem TO have against the
railroads a grudge which they feed high
and never tire of feeding. Some OF the
Alliance men are opposed to the sub
Treasury scheme. some to the graduated
income-tax. some TO the election OF
United States senators by popular vote,
and some to each one Of the other schemes
of reform" set forth in the Ocala and
other platforms; but they all agree. we
are inclined to think, in the fixed pur-
nose 70 make the railroads the servants
and not the masters Of the people-a pur-
pose much more easily formed than car
ried into execution.
The interstate-commerce law was passed
as an experiment We had at the time OF
Its passage more doubts as to its practica-
bility and usefulness than we have now.
and more than the advocates OF that mea-
sure conceded to be justifiable. But the
fact is that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has been manufacturing judge
made law az means Of unfolding the act
Of Congress regulating railroads and rail-
road charges, and has succeeded reason
ably we'll in evolving an interstate-com-
merce law ont OF the inner consciousness
of its members, which law was never
passed by Congress- The Interstate Com
missioners have drawn upon our British
cousins for light upon the subject Of the
regulation of railroads and railroad
charges, and have thus learned much
which otherwise they could have learned
only in the costly school Of experience.
Speaking Of judge-made law LET us remark
In passing that the Supreme Court OF the
United States has for some time seemed to
us to be engaged in the work of making
new Constitution for the United States
Government or for the government OF the
United States.
Next week the Farmers'-Alliance Con-
yention of Virginia will meet here in Rich
mond. Much will depend upon the action
Of that body. Whatever 1t decides upon
ought to be decided upon only after the
fullest investigation and the freest
discussion of the various propositions
which will come before the convention for
discussion and for adoption or rejection.
The members of the Alliance Convention
are, as we have said, unit or practically
unit in the determination to control the
railroads and not allow the railroads to
control them. Their strength is such that
thew need in respect of this matter no help
from anybody. They can undoubtedly
carry their TRANSPORTATION measure in the
State Convention of Alliances. They need
to be reminded that discretion is the bet
ter part Of other things than valor. They
feel 90 keenly that their interests have not
been duly regarded by sundry trans
portation companies Of the State that
they might well be excused for going q
little farther than prudence. or good poll
cy. or probable results would justify them
in going.
We shall see what we shall see
when the State Convention shall have con-
cluded its labors and determined the des-
tiny of the organization which it repre-
santa

The Richmond Delegation.
fThe State.l

There is never any lack Of Democratic
candidates for the Legislature in the CITY
OF Richmond. But the really able, repre-
sentative men who can be induced to run
are few.
II is hoped that number Of frst-class
men can be found endowed with sufficient
public spirit and patriotism to compel
them to accept the nominations If ten
dered.
Richmond has delegation of four in the
lower branch. 1t is understood that not
more than one of the old members will run
again.
Two years ago the nominees were chosen
by the convention method. There was Q
demand for tho convention on the part Of
many politicians. and those who were in
clined to oppose convention finally agreed
to this plan rather than DO considered Oh
stinate.
Every one must concede now that the
primary Is the best plan, as \ rule. for
making the nominations, and the first
thing that the City Committee will be apt
to do when IL comes together in Septem-
Der Will be 10 declare in favor Of pri-
mary.
Whether we have primery or conven-
ton, let Ne resolve not to make nomina-
tions too soon.
We should rot think of making them
until October, and the later the better for
the party and for the people.

The Mavor Of Atlanta is in trouble. He

The Mayor of Atlanta is in trouble. He
gave permission to the electric line to work
last Sunday on its track at certain point
where the rush of travel and traffic is very
great on week days. and the Sabbath STILL
ness Of the city was consequently broken
in that vicinity by the sound OF picks,
shovels. and hammers.
Mayor HKMPBILL acted after advising
With several councilmen and under the
conviction that it was Q work Of necessity
which could be done with greater safety
AMI convenience ON Sunday than on any
other day. But in this view he is opposed
by many pious men and women, and seve-
raj churches have passed resolutions con-
demning him aud the company from legal
and moral standpoints both.
We believe that under similar circum-
stances the people of Richmond would
have made like protests, but in the Puritan
city of Boston we have more than once
seen street paving done on Sundays; done
ct the intersection Of great thoroug hfsres,
which could not be blockaded for this pur-
pose on weekdays without greatly OBJ
struotina the passage Of vehicles.
