PUBLIC PRINTING CASE.
Justice Montgomery Writes Barnes 4
Big Advertisement.

Capital Printing Company Barnes
Bros.) VS.. Hoey ct ais Joint Printing
Committed. Decided against the Capt.
the present public printers, Edwards &
Broughton and K. NJ. Uzzell.
The Joint Committee on Printing. it
will be remembered, advertised i'll ac-
cordance with an act of the last Legis-
lature for bidders for the public print
ing. Barnes was ascertained to be the
lowest responsible bidder; his bond was
adjudged sufficient, and the committee
accepted his bid and rendered him con
tract which he refused to sign, insisting
that it was unauthorized by the act.
Thereafter the committee in pursuance
of joint resolution signed contract
for the public printing with defendants
Edwards 81 Broughton and Uzzell.
Barnes then claimed that this contract
was void; that the acceptance of his bid
constituted Il contract to award him the
public printing; that the subsequent reso
luton authorizing the contract with Ed
wards & Broughton and Uzzell was un
constitutional in that it ignored a vested
right of Barnes under his contract with
the committee.
On this statement of facts and deduc-
tons therefrom Barnes asked injunctive
relief and a mandamus to compel the
committee to give him the contract for
the public printing.
The court holds, the opinion being
written by Justice Montgomery and a
concurring opinion by Justice Clark,
that the acceptance of the plaintiffs bid
did constitute a contract and that n
me rs cannot issue, as its effect
w. to annul the contract entered
into VIM Edwards & Broughton and UZ-
Zcll. who being lawfully in possession of
their contract are entitled to a trial of
their rights Hereunder, according to the
usual course of law.
While deciding this case in favor of the
Democrats, the court finds itself unable
to let it pass without going out of its
way to make some disagreeable com
ments. Judge Montgomery writing the
opinion of the court. says:
1T is evident from what appears be-
fore US that the policy adopted originally

Supreme court to declare acts mconStl-
tutional is not guaranteed by any pro-
vision of the constitution and every eX-
tension jeopardizes its existence. Inc
independence of the judiciary is not de-
pendent upon the power to set aside acts
of the Legislature as invalid
Justice Clark concludes: Whatever
powers are given the judiciary and exc
cutives are set out III the constitution.
On the other hand the Legislature are
the agents of the people, speaking their
will, and only restricted where the con
stitution has limited their powers ana
their actions are subject always to re-
view at the ballot box. This is our
government. In it there is no room for
Il judicial hegcmony. The sovereignty
remains always in the people to be eNer-
cised readily and promptly. 1t can not
be tied up and put beyond their reach
by 60 days Legislature creating OIL
GERS for four years or 30 years or for
life. and putting them in charge of the
State institutions and the States prop
erty. The cm0lumentS of such Office
holders cannot be more sacred than the
right of the people to control their own
government and to change the manage
ment of their own property whenever
they think proper"

THE NEWS AND OBSERVER WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAY TO- 1899

by the General Assembly of 1899 of put
ting out the public printing to the lowest
responsible bidder was abandone! when
the CONT resolution was adopted instruct
ing the committee to make the contract
with Edwards Il Broughton and UzzeIl
at the prices named therein-the same
belhg the maximum prices named in the
original bill. 1t is apparent upon the
FACE of the record that the contract was
not made with the lowest responsible
bidder. When the contract as it was
executed is compared with the bid of
the plaintiff company and the contract
which it rendered. no room is left for
DOUBT that the contract as executed was
made with the highest bidder. The
plalntiH company was IL "eliaLlc eStah-
hShment, found to be so after a full
investigation by the committee, ard the
pond rendered was declared 10y the com
mlttee to be sufficient, both in amount
ana as to security. Its bid was clear
ana distinct as to prices, and it was I'm
condltionally accepted. The terms of
the bid were materially changed 70 the
disadvantage of the plaintiff company
by the attorney who was employed to
reduce the bid and acceptance to writing
Ill the shape of Il contract. That can be
seen by reference to the original act. the
bid of the plaintiff company and the con
tract which was offered to be executed
with the plaintiff OF course this court
knows nothing of these matters except
what appears in the record nor are the
reasons which caused the change of
policy on the part of the General Assem-
bly, known to u.s.
Justice Clark in his concurring opin-
ion agrees with Justice Montgomery on
all his conclusions of law, but leaves out
all such offensive references as the
above, either to the Legislature or the
present public printers. In fact that
appears to have been the sole object of
his writing Il separate opinion.
