The Supreme Courts Decision

Following is the decision OF the
Court of Appeals in the Golf Wilson
contest. The syllabus is: when
neither the Speaker of the House OF
Delegates nor the joint assembly Of
both houses Of the Legislature, con-
vened under section 3 Of article z of
the constitution OF this State for the
purpose OF opening and publishing
the returns Of the election for the
office Of Governor, does in fact open
and publish the returns in respect TO
Said Office, or declare any person e.
lected to that Office, this court cannot
by mandamus adjudge tue person
who appears from the returns certi-
fed TO the Speaker Of the House to
have received the highest number Of
votes for that office, TO be Governor
and compel the person who was Gov.
ernor during the preceding term TO
deliver the Office and its insignia TO
him
Judge Snyder, With unusual clear
ness, delivered the opinion OF the
court. He clearly showed that every
point made by General Golf, the Pc
titioner, would, under the authorities.
be decided against him; that even If
the court bad Jurisdiction Of the SUBJ
ject, decision would be against the
petitioner. He quoted the resolu-
lions passed by the Legislature, to
the effect that as the contest for the
Office Of Governor was pending, the
result OF the election for Governor
should not be declared until the con-
test was decided that in all the
counties wherein notice OF contest
Was given certificate was attached on
the ground that it was false because
IN IL we're included illegal votes.
Such certificate, without being read,
should be referred to committee
to be appointed to report on tue
contest as provided by law. That IL
could not be said that the Legislature
had acted beyond the scope Of its
authority, because as TO opening and

How q Young Man Can Sue.
coed.

You are about TO startin life, and it
is well that young men should begin
al the beginning. and occupy cue most
subordinate positions. Many great
business men have had serious re-.
sponsibili,y thrust upon them at the
very threshold Of their career. They
we're introduced to the broom, and
spent the first hours Of their business
life sweeping out the Office.
Begin at Che beginning, but aim
high. l would not give fig for the
young man who does not already see
himself the partner or the head Of
some important firm.
There are three dangers in your
path-tbe first Is drinking liquor, the
second lie speculation, and the third
is 'indorsing.'
When was telegraph operator in
Pittsburg, knew ell the men who
speculated. They we're not our citi
gems OF first repute they were re.
garded with suspicion. / have lived
TO see all OF them ruined, bankrupt
IN money, and bankrupt in character.
There IS scarcely an instance OF a
man who has made fortune IN spec
ulatiou and kept il. The mar who
grasps the morning papers TO see
how his speculative ventures are
likely to result units himself for the
calm consideration and proper solu.
ton of business problems, with which
he has 10 deal later in the day, and
saps the sources of that persistent
success and often the very safety Of
bis main business. The thorough
man Of business knows that only by
years of patient, unremitling attens
ton 10 affairs can he earn his re-
ward, which is the result. not OF
chance, but Of well-devised means
for the attainment Of ends.
Nothing is more essential 10 young
business men than uatarnished cred
II, and nothing kills credit sooner
than knowledge in any bank board

that = man engages in speculation.
How can . man be credited whose
resources may be swept away in one
hour by Q panic among gamesters?
Resolve to be business men. but
spectators never.
The third danger 10 che perilous
habit Of indorsing notes. 1t appeals
to your generous instincts. and you
say. How can refuse to lend my
name only, 10 assist = friend?' II 10
because there is 90 much that is true
and commendable in that view that
the practice is so dangerous. II you
owe anything. all your capital and
oil your effects are q solemn trust In
your hands TO be held inviolate for
the security Of those who have trust
ed You. When Q man in debt 10.
dorses for another, II 10 not his own
credit or his own capital that he
risks, it is the money OF his own
creditors. Therefore, say that If
you are ever called upon ID indorse,
never do 1t uniess you have cash
means not required for your own
debt, and never iDdorse beyond those
meane.
Assn ming that you are safe In re-.
gard to these, your gravest danger
drinking, speculation and indorsing
the question is, How TO rise?'
The rising young man must do
something exceptional and beyond
tue range of his special department.
He must attract attention. A chip
ping clerk may do 80 by discovering
in an invoice an error with which he
had nothing 10 do, and which has es.
capped the attention of the proper
person. If a weighing clerk. he may
save for the firm by doubling the ad.
Justment Of the scales, and having
them corrected. Your employer
must find out that he has not got o
mere hireling in bis service, but q
man not one who is content TO give
SO many hours Of work for 80 many
dollars in return, but one who de-
votes his spare hours aud constant
thoughts to the business.
There is one sure mark of the
coming millionaire ;his revenues al.
ways exceed his expenditures. 1e
begins 10 save as soon as he begins
to earn. Capitalists trust the sas
wing young man. For every hun.
dred dollars sou can produce as the
result Of hard.won saving, Midas, in
search of partner, will lend on
credit q thousand; for every thOus.
and, fifty thousand.
1t is not your capital your seniors
require. it is the man who has proved
that he has tho business habits that
make capital. Begin at once to lay
up something. 1t is the frat hun
dred dollars saved which tells.
And here is the prime condition of
success, the great secret; concen.
trate your energy, thought and capt..
al exclusively upon the business in
which you are engaged. Having
begun in one line, resolve to fight it
out on that line; TO lead il; adopt
every improvement, have the best
machinery and know the most about
it.
Finally, do not be impatient, for,
as Emerson says, NO one can cheat
you out OF ultimate success bu, your.
selves. = Youths Companion.

With discretionary power that Il ac-

It had In fact 90 acted. because the
certificate from Webster county did

al nor tho certificate from Wood

result would have been changed.
The Legislature acted wisely In APP
pointing committee to ascertain
the votes for said two Offices in
said counties. and acted on tie
report OF the committee aud judicial.
ly determined and declared who were
elected to these two Offices. The
certificate for Governor from Ka-
nawha county was discredited. be-
cause the ascertainment Of said vote
by the commissioners Of the county
court bad been superseded by q Ger.
ticrari by court Of competent ju-
risdiction. If the Legislature had
chosen TO declare the result of the
vote for Governor, with tie certiH.
cate from kanawhs county omitted,
they would have declared Fleming
elected Governor. They we're Ger.
tainly clothed with power to decide
what were true certificates Of the
votes from the several counties. Bee
ing thus clothed with discretion in
the matter, mandamus will not lie to
correct their rulings. But this court
is wholly without Jurisdiction OF the
subject. The constitution divides
the powers of the STATE government
into three general and distinct de-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, executive aud
judicial-snd has provided that nei-
Their should exercise duties required
OF the other. 1t has, therefore,
conferred upon the Legislative de-
partment exclusive authority TO de-.
eide and declare who is elected GOV.
ernor. 1t has been provided by the
constitution that the decision OF the
question Of who has been electe
Governor shall be made before the
4th Of March, the day on which he is
to be seated. Because the Legisla,
ture has not provided by statute
prompt mode of determining this
question it does not take away the
intent OF the people in adopting their
constitution. 1t has made declara-
ton of the result of the election for
Governor absolutely necessary to
give him title to that office. 1t nev-
er was contemplated by our scheme
of government that the chief executive
of STATE should take his seat on
doubtful title and thereafter be ous-
ted. The Legislature has refused to
declare General Golf elected Cover.
nor of the State. and as he has no ii.
tie to the Office without that decla-
ration, which declaration the Legis-
lature has the exclusive right to
make or withhold, the peremptory
mandamus prayed for was denied
and the petition dismissed.
