Call Kas .ne upner Hand.

II is clear from our dispatches this morn.
ing that Mr.. Call has the upper hand in the
Florida senatorship mudile. He has not
certificate from the governor that he was
elected senator. but he has a copy Of the
proceedings Of the session of the legislature
at which be was elected senator certified by
the secretary If state. And the secre-
tarv of state has refused to let the
broad seal Of the state play any part in the
appointmeut of Mr.. Davidson to the posi-
lon Of senator. The governor directed the
attorney general TO bring proceedings
against the secretary Of state to compel
that official TO grant a certificate Of Mr..
DavilsonS appointment, but the attorney
general declined to obey the governor on
the ground thst there was no constitutional
basis for such q suit.
1t is stated that both the secretary Of
state and the attorney general believe that
Mr.. Call was legally elected. aud the pre-
sumption is that they do not desire to place
any more difficulties in the way of his get
ting bis seat than they are required to do
by the Offices they hold
The MORNING News has all along taken
the position that Mr.. Calls election was
legal and that it would so be decided By tie
Senate. However, it was some what anxious
10 see the matter tested, and therefore rather
favored the governors action in making an
appointment
If the governor had let the matter 60 by
default there would have been many who
would have censured him for doing SO,
and the question whether or not Mr.. Call
was legally elected would always have been
an open one. MIR. Davidson will contest
Mr.. Calls right to the seat and the Senate
will decide the matter. That will be the
end of 1t, because the action Of the Senate
will be recognized as final. AS both oon>
testants are democrats, the ection of the
Senate will not be influenced by partisan
feeling, and, besides, knowing that the case
will be a precedent. care will be taken to
arrive at q correct decision.
In the matter of credentials Mr.. David
son will not have much the advantage OF
Mr. Call He will have a certificate from
the governor showing his appointment. but
his certificate will not bear the seal of the
state. Mr.. Call will have certificate from
the secretary of state, bearing the seal of
the state, showing that he received the
votes of majority of the members Of the
legislature, but he will have no certificate
of his election from the governor. Mr..
Call, of course, will be given the seat, but
the proceedings which will precede the
Senates decision will be interesting.

There Is not as much harmony as there
ought to be among the managers of the
worlds fair. Chickering's between the gov
eminent commissioners and the local direct
ors are not infrequent, though it is only
once in awhile that the public hears much
about them. AT present some Of the man
ayers are expressing the opinion that there
are too many officials drawing big
salaries who render little or no
service. 1t is alleged that they spend
about all their time in loafng, and the
allegation is doubtless true. If the number
OF those drawing big salaries was reduced
oue-half preparations for the fair would be
carried on much more satisfactorily. The
first thing that was done in preparing for
the fair was to create O large number of
very desirable offices and attach attractive
salaries to them. And if those who fill
those Offices we're called upon to tell what
services they have rendered they would
make a showing. if they kept close to the
truth, that would cause the managers OF the
fair to be severely criticised.
The extravaganza which has marked the
management from the very beginning will
not be overlooked when the application for
a S., 000, 900 loan comes before congress next
winter. 1t is question whether the appli-
cation will be grained. If it should not the
fair would be in a very unfortunate finan-
cial condition. Chicago has not contributed
the amount of money she promised to, and
it is evident that she doesn't intend to con-
tribute any more than she can possibly help
T. H. Id
government provide most of the money
needed to prepare for the fair, although
when the question of the loca-
ton of the fair was before con-
gress she declared, through her rep
resentatives, that she would ask nothing
from the government except sum suffi-
cient to take care Of the government ex-
hibit This declaration will be used against
her with telling effect when she comes to
congress next winter begging for loan of
SIS, 10000 Indeed, it is by no means GER
tain thai she will not ask for $4,000, 900.
That there has been a vast amount of
mismanagement in handling the fairs
money, and even extravaganza for which
! there is no Legitimate excuse, there can he
no doubt. The proposition that was made q
few days ago to abolish a few of the big
salaried offices is proof of this. The offices
were not abolished, however, ald are not
likely to be, because those who hold them
are sustained by strong political influences
But unless greater economy is exercised
by the managers the fair will not be q
financial success. The managers express
the opinion of course that the receipts will
much more than cover expenses. but if the
revenues should be equal to the expenses it
would be surprising.
There is one thing the managers will have
to do, and that is to cease spending money
ss if they were at liberty to draw all they
need from the United States treasury.
! The only chance they have of getting an APP
preparation from congress is in showing
that the money already received has been
expended economically, and that every
| dollar of it has been productive Of some
! good result

Monkey Won't Tackle a Bat Again.

Among the denizens of the place is a monkey
called Jocko, whose procivity for mischief mas

says the ST. Louis Globe Democrat. He sue
coded in picking the lock of his cage and, once
free, turned his attention to his feathered COM

dozen of the various cages in the room, and
soon funny procession of monkeys parrots
and macaws were strutting about
In a few minutes trouble began to brew One
of the parrots, in a spirit of mischief probably,
bit JocKo and lively battle ensued. Polly soon
made rush for Ter cage minus her beautiful
tail feathers and part or wing.
Jocko, who was then thoroughly aroused,
sailed in for a general massacre, and in a short
time had the floor to himself, save for Minnie. a
little nightingale who was too dazed to escape.

to the big stuffed owl, which had been gazing
solemuiy upon the scene, and receiving no an
swer to his challenge. threw the bird or its
pedestal.
Jocko's Waterloo was awaiting him, however.
huge vampire bat, which had been watching
the battle, jumped down from his perch and
Jocko started for him. The contest was brief
The sharp beak and talons of the bird buried
themselves ike flash in the monkeys flesh,
and Jocko was glad to make his escape with the
blood flowing from a dozen wounds At this
juncrure the proprietor appeared ana hostiities
ceased.
Jocko's cage has since been ornamented with
new brass paddock, and Minnie's mate is il
mourning.
