Senator Depew was asked the
other day what he thought of the
opinion recently expressed by Mr.
Schwab, president of tbo steel trust,
that “society is a bad thing for a
young man with a career before him.”
He said: “Society is ruinous. A young
man needs all of bis energies,all of bis
vital force, for hie career.”
In tne course of his talk Senator
Depew said that a few days ago ho was
talking of this very matter with a dis
tinguished lawyer, in the office of the
latter.The uwyer has two sons who are
college graduates, and in every respect
worthy young men, but they are over
whelmed with social attentions. They
are in their father’s office, trying to
read law, but have not much time to
give to their studies. In the same
office is another young man. He is
poor, and for the privilege he enjoys
ho dusts the furniture and does other
odd jobB. The lawyer, in the course
of his conversation with Mr. Depew,
said: “What worries me is the thought
that when I am gone this poor young
man will probably be at the head of
this business, and my sons will bo in
his employ —if ho cares to employ
them.”
Poverty is a good thing for a young
man to start with who hopes to make
something out of himself. Society is
a mill stone about a young man’s neck
—a young man who is capable of mak.
ing something ont his life and is dis
posed to do so. Too much society is
not good for either young men or
young women. Society and business
do not get along well together. Devo.
tion to society means neglect of busi
ness. Senator Depew and Mr. Schwab
are right. Society is bad for young
men who have their way to make in the
world.—Savannah News
Judge John S. Candler’s decision in
the mandamus case against the state
treasurer does not cover the main con
stitutional point raised by Capt. Park,
because, he declares, that Park is a
ministerial officer, and should pay war
rants on him without questioning their
constitutionality — that he is not the
proper officer to raise a constitutional
question. If tbo supremo court sus
tains this view, it will not be necessary,
so far as results go, to decide any
other points raised; but Judge Candler
decides another question. He holds
that the $300,000 arising from the sale
of the Northeastern railroad does not
come under the constitutional inhibi
tion against using the proceeds of the
sale of the state’s property named in
the constitution,because the Northeast
ern road was acquired by the constitu
tion of 1877. This, added to the amount
available in the general fund, is suffici
ent to cover the warrants drawn.
Thus it will be seen that the real
question of borrowing “temporarily,
or “nsing” the fund arising from the
sale of the state’s property held at- the
time cf the adoption of the constitution
is not passed upon. But the conclusion
that the treasurer has no right to qnes
tion the constitutionality of the war
rants drawn on him is on important
one, so also is the decision that the
fund arising from the sale of the
Northeastern road cannot be held to
be covered by tho constitutional res
trictions cited by the treasurer.
If the treasurer “should not be heard
to raise a constitutional question” why
should ho be required to take an oath
and give a bond to support and obey
the constitution?—Macon Telegraph.

Sunday’s Constitution must have been
copied from a photograph of a“Mellin’s

Judge Candler’s decision, granting
the mandamus compelling Treasurer
Park to pay the teachers out of the
fund which, according to the constitu
tion, should bo used only in payment
of the public dobt.will bo received with
mingled emotions throughout the state.
It is hard to see how the treasurer’s
course in this matter can command
anything but respeot and admiration.
The terms of the organfo law were
plain, and in spite of the precedents of
other treasurera his duty seemed clear.
It was right and proper that he ask a
judicial construction of the constitution
before ho violated it, as it seemed to
him ho would be doing by diverting
the pnblio funds. It still is not olear
to the average mind how this can be
done.
It is true that the people of Georgia
deeply sympathize with the teaohers.
They have earned their money; it is
due, and they should have it. This
serves to reconcile the public to Jadge
Candler’s decision. But it will occur
to meny that constitutions should not
be trifled with, and it is hoped that the
next legislature, profiting by this em
barrassing incident, will provide for
the payment of the teaohers and the
preservation of the constitution here
after.—Augusta Herald.
