THE MANDAMUS CASE.

Chief Justice Geo. P. Raney,
speaking for the Supreme court of
Florida, has handed down an opin-
ion in the case Of ex rel. Francis P.
Fleming vs.. John L. Crawford Sec
rotary Of State, which will for all
time finally and fully settle the ques-
ton Of the extent of the powers and
duties of members Of the governors
cabinet. They are merely minister
ial offcers-that's all.
The opinion, with the accompany
ing headnotes and statement of the
case, is presented in full to each
reader of this issue of the FLoR1DIAN
1t should be read and digested by
every citizen. There is much to be
learned from it that will perhaps be
useful in after life to every state and
county official.

astray.

Prof. EN-. Dubois wonderful sue
cess in the cultivation of grapes on
the hills of the Tallahassee country,
and in the manufacture of choice
Florida wines, has proven that this
is profitable industry. The exper-
mental stage is over, and now the
business is to be engaged in on an
extensive scale, both at Tallahassee
and at Orlando.
Prof. Dubois has associated him
self with Mr.. G. G.. Trash of New
York, who has had wide experience
as wine-maker in California, and
they, backed by abundant capital,
are now organizing a company to be
known as the Florida Star Wine
Company, with vineyards and wine
presses and cellars near Tallahassee
and also near Orlando.
The Sauterne made at San Luis
and Andalusia vineyards, near Tai
lahassee, by Prof Dubois is con-
coded to be the finest wine made in
America. The business has already
grown to immense proportions, and
now with increased working capital,
the company will soon have a ma
tional reputation as the makers of
pure fine wines-the equal, if not the
superior Of any imported brands.

little popularity left at home, and
the state has been steadily growing

the democratic majority for Con-

Gov. Fleming on Top.
From the Savannah Morning News.

The decision of the Florida supreme
court to the effect that the secretary of
state must aff1x the seal of his Office to the
appointment of Mr.. Davidson as United
States senator marks another step in the
Davidson-Call contest, and must be very
gratifying to Gov. Fleming. The COVER
nor was of the opinion that Mr.. Call was
not elected United States senator, and he
appointed Mr.. Davidson 10 that position.
The secretary of state declined to aff1x the
seal OF his Office 10 the appointment, and
the encouragement declined to bring
mandamus suit 10 compel him to do 80.
The governor, however, refused to accept
the action of these officials as finally set.
Ting the question whether or not the seal
OF the secretary of state was to be fixed to
the appointment Of Mr.. Davidson. He Sc
cured the services OF an attorney and had
the question brought before the supreme
court, and that tribunal sustained him. No
doubt the secretary OF state and the attor
ney-general were sincere in the position
which they took, but they were mistaken.
AS tar as credentials are concerned Mr..
Davidson is now better equipped for the
contest in the senate than Mr.. Call. He
has an appointment properly certified. Mr..
Call has no certificate of election. He has
however, certified copy of the proceed
ings of the legislature.
The decision of the supreme court does
not touch upon The merits of the contest
and, therefore, will have no influence with
the senate. 1t only settles one thing, and
that is that when the governor makes ar
appointment it is the duty of the secretary
OF state TO aff1x the seal of his Office 10 it
if it is an appointment which requires the
seal.
The difference between the governor anC
the secretary of state and attorney genera
has attracted good deal of attention il
Florida, and the triumph of the governor
will be regarded as an additional evidence
OF his sagacity and will tend to increas
his popularity.
