PefveFalty.
It was noted in years that have long passed
away,
And told with much circumlocution
By youths who made rhymes and philosophers
gray
That man is a queer institution.
The whole day long he will whistle song
Distracting each person who's near him,
Disregarding the fact that in all the sad
throng
There IL no one who wishes to hear him.
Oh, he'll whistle and trill till the building
he'll fill
With the notes which no protest can smother.
And then he will MARBLE and struggle to kill
The old songs one after another;
Yet, alas and aack, when at evening he goes
To call on a lassie he gazes
And stammers and bushes as red as rose,
While his silence annoys and amazes!

THE APPOINTMENT OF SENATORS.

THE Governor Of Pennsylvania has gone through
the form OF appointing Matt Quay to the Office
OF Federal Senator, after he had tailed OF an
election by the Legislature OF that State This fact
together with the opportunity for similar effort in
California has drawn public attention the extent
OF and to the limitations upon gubernatoria power in
relation to such appointments
In Pennsylvania the term OF Matt Quay and in
California the term OF Stephen NJ. White expired
March l. 1860 Each incumbent had then served for
six years and had filed therefore, the constitutional
measure In each instance when the term expired
the Legislature in Joint convention balloting day
by day for Senator to serve for the six ensuing
years In each instance there deadlock, which
remained unbroken when the Legislature adjourned.
The express and plain language OF the Federal
constitution leaves no room for doubt that in such
case no power OF appointment exists That instru-
mcnt in terms covers both election and appointment
1t provides explicitly that each Federal Senator shall
be chosen by the Legislature OF his State Without
the action Of this independent department of the
State government a Senatorial term cannot begin.
But the constitution further declares that when by
resignation or otherwise" vacancy occurs during
the recess OF the Legislature it may be filled by
executive temporary appointment until the next
meeting OF the Legislature which shall then fill such
vacancy"
In the first place there is rule that State must
be represented at Washington by two Senator'S
theoretically it may choose never to elect and there
is 10 process known the law by which an election
can be made compulsory In the second place the
whole power OF choice is committed to the Legisla
tt1re which is the immediate constituency OF Federal
Senator 1t is upon this ground that since the foun
dation OF the Government the right of legislative in
strucon in matters pertaining to the State has been

exercised. And authority distinctly conferred
upon one department of the government be as
sumed by coordinate department without usurpa-
ton.
But, in the third place, by analogy to other con
stitutional expedients devised the uninter
rupted and harmonious operation of our political
system, when there is vacancy in Federal Sena-
torship while the Legislature is in recess-that is
when the legislative will cannot be Immediately ex-
pressed-the Governor is permitted temporarily to
appoint, and his limited authority is completely spent
when the Legislature reconvenes.
The better opinion seems to be that within the
meaning OF the constitution vacancy" can happen
until after election and the commencement OF
Senatorial term, and therefore that even in State
where Legislative sessions biennial, if term
should end during the off year the Governor could
not appoint. The power of temporary appointment
manfestly conferred simply such vacancies
as result from death resignation during existing
term But, as to Pennsylvania and California there
is room for argument because when the terms of
Senators Quay and White expired the Legislatures
OF the two States in session. and under that
dton the constitution not only does not direct but
clearly prohibits the exercise of the appointing power
The precedents in the Federal Senate correspond
fully with these views, and there is no reason to be-
lieve, if there were not already working ma
jority of Republican Senators, that in order

constitution, that able and patriotic council would

THE GEARY STREET FRANCHISE.

7 EFORE acting upon the petition of the Market
~ Street Railway Company for permission to use
- electricity upon its proposed "corkscrew' line
the Board of>Supervsors should thoroughly consider
two three conspicuous facts. The franchise OF the
Geary Street Railway Company expires in 1902. The
Market street combine, which has succeeded to the
rights of this corporation, has made two attempts
secure regrant of this privilege several years prior
its expiration This action indicates that the company
is exceedingly anxious for a renewal of its privileges
upon the street and not willing that they should be
arbitrated by the charter which goes into effect
in January next, nor by Board of Supervisors
chosen when the issue is before the people.
In other words, the Market Street Railway Com
pany is seeking a franchise on Geary street in If
regular and flrtve manner. 1t is possible that the
grant to the proposed corkscrew" line which is de-
signed to cover Geary street from Taylor to Grant
avenue would complcate matters, but before the
Supervisors pass any such privilege they should thor
oughy examine into the legal effect OF their action.
No objection will be urged to the construction of
an electric line Sixth, Taylor Grant avenue Bush,
Sansome and other streets to the Barbary Coast,
cept there appears in it an effort to gobble valuable
privilege by ndirection. suspicious circumstance
is found in the fact that the Market street company
has declined to construct its electric line any other
street than Geary street 1t suggested that the
road proposed be built upon Taylor street to Post
and down to Grant avenue This proposition
jected by the engineers of the corporation for ap
parently no whatever 1t is therefore, barely
possible that the construction department of the
bine has received orders from the law department to
run down Geary street as a preliminary to getting
foothod upon the thoroughfare which will exclude
competition in the future sale of a franchise.
The safest OF all plans would be the absolute
f,1sal OF the Supervisors to permit the 'corkscrew'
line to run on Geary street That would settle all
questions with reference to the future. The people
Of Geary street entitled electric railroad in
place OF the present ramshacke cable line, but they
will never get it long the Market street company
enjoys the privilege OF forcing traffic from that thor
oughfare to its adjacent electric system 1t is to the
interest OF all parties that when the Geay street fran
chse expires it be sold to a corporation which will
construct modern electric road upon the street.

FERRY DEPOT ECONOMIES.

NARELY if ever before in the history OF the city
~ have so many evidences been given OF
nest intention on the part of officials to carry
out reforms and economies The crusade of The
Call carried on in so many different directions has
almost everywhere had effect The Board OF
Education has begun what promises to be regime
Of genuine economy, racetrack gambling has been
suppressed the police have raded the offensive
phonograph parors and gambling rooms downtown,
and now the Harbor Commissioners have set about
providing for economy and efficiency in the manage
ment OF the ferry depot Everybody, in short, seems
to be animated by the spirit OF reform except the
Police Commissioners
The work undertaken by the Harbor Commission
is by no means an agreeable task. 1t is much pleas
aner to add to the payroll OF the State
when they are needed than to dismiss those who
are superiluous The Board OF Education had to face
storm OF protest when set about the task OF econo-
mizing in the administration Of the schools and the
Harbor Commission will have to confront something
of similar nature. 1t is therefore, the duty OF all
citizens and all newspapers that have been preaching
and demanding economy to stand now by the officials
who are doing what they TO accomplish it.
The Call is the only paper in the city that has
openly commended the Board Of Education for the
resolute way which it has gone along wedding out
useless employees and establishing the School Depart
ment on strictly business basis Our contemporaries
are ever vocferous in clamoring for economy in the
abstract but when chance comes to practice
economy they turn the other way good many ct-
zens OF like nature 1t is for that reason Off
cals find difficult to carry out reforms The very
people who demanded them will oppose them when
put into practice
By the exposure OF the waste of public money in
the construction OF the ferry depot and in its mainte
nance since The Call directed public attention to the
gross corruption that existed there legislative
committee in an official report virtually confirmed
all the charges made by The Call The Merchants
Association took up the issue and aided in rousins
public sentiment the subject Afterward some OF
our contemporaries Joined in the agitation. 1t now
appears the new commission proposes to practice
economy. The promise is a good one, and if it be
fully and honestly carried out the commission will
deserve well of the city and the State, and should BE-
given the open approval OF all sincere friends OF
economy in office and administrative reform.
