pletion Of tho State house," and it
seoms clear that the duties of tho
commission with relation thereto arc
in no sense judicial, but simply exc
cutive, or ministerial.
AS to ministerial powers: 1t is sot
tied beyond controversy that it is not
within tho scope Of tho duties Of a
ministerial officer to pass upon tho
validity of laws. His only duty in
sucn case is obedience; he cannot
excuse himself by undertaking to
show the unconstitutionality or other
invalidity Of tho law. AS was said
by Judge Howard, in Smyth w.
Titcom, 81 Mo- 2S0, "a public officer
entrusted with tho collection and dis.
bursement of revenue in any Of the
departments Of the government, has
no right to refuse to perform his
ministerial duties prescribed by law,
because he may apprehend that
others may be injuriously affected by
it, or that tho law may possibly be
unconstitutional. He is not respon-
slblo for the law, or for tho possible
wrongs which may result from it's
execution. He cannot refuse to act
because others question his right.
The individuals to be affected may
not doubt the constitutionality
Of tho law, or may waive their
supposed lights or wrongs, or
may choose to contest the validity
Of the enactment personally. Pub
lie policy rs we'll as public ucces-
sity and justice, require prompt
and efficient action from such off
GERS"
TO my mind it, therefore, seems to
follow, that the commission should
accord full obedience to the State
house act, without regard to OK
traneous considerations, and carry
out it's provisions strictly.
Respectfully,
G. Duncan Bellinger,
Attorney General.

ARCHITECT BY COMPETITION.

Applications were then presented
for the position Of architect of the
capitol. They were from G.. e..
Shand, Wilson & Edwards and
Frank p. Milburn, the first and last
of whom have already submitted de-
signs.
After some discussion it was de-.
termined not to go into the election
of an architect just yet. Instead a
motion prevailed that the commits
sion advertise for plans and specifica-
tions to be submitted, and sub
committee consisting Of Messrs. Bel
linger, Mower and Marshall was ap-
pointed to draw up the form Of this
advertisement and present it at 10
o'clock this morning. The advertise
ment is to appear forthwith, and it
looks as if the work will not be long
in getting under way.

In no community with which I am

more difficult than in Augusta. 1t
is the hardest community in which
to get interviews on any topic that is
before the people that T know of.
Men who have experience and valu-
able information along the line on
which it is sought do not care to talk
for publication. Men who have i'm

views upon important subjects will
talk for half an hour with a news-

(Augusta Chrouiclc.)

(AuRuSta ChrOulclU.)
In tho mind Of the average out
slider tho way of tho newspaper man
is paved with free lunches and dead,
hoad tickets. 1t is astonishing how
many young mon and women there
are who desire to enter newspaper
work without the faintest knowledge
Of what is required Of thom, but with
tho seronest confidence that they can
perform tho necessary duties with
ease and eclat. For tho most part,
the public comes in touch with tho
newspaper man only on tho attractive
side Of the occupation. A crowd
that is held back by the ropes on
some public occasion onvies the re-
porter who is permitted to pass Ivy
the guards. He ls seen to hand in
his free ticket at tho thoatro and to
show his pass on tho street cars. On
public occasions he is in touch with
tho orator of the day and has cordial
welcome to the presence Of tho visit
ing dignitary. As tho representa-
tive Of the newspaper, tho reporter
has q reception at the hands of prom
inent men which ho could not aspire
to in his individual capacity.
1t is this phase of tho newspaper
mems life that is so attractive to the
uninitiated. They do not SEQ tho
daily grind Of the toilers, and hoar
the thousand and ono complaints that
come to the newspaper, week in and
week out. Everybody secs tho news
paper, and if there IS anything in it
which is not complimentary or likely
to be pleasant for any individual,
his friends are quick to call it to his
attention if he should chance to over
look it. A newspaper man works
under pressure and has to do in a
few hours what would appall the in
experienced man to undertake. Not
only in the volume of business, but
in it's variety, his daily task is try
ing one. The average newspaper
man writes every month what ls
equivalent to an ordinary volume of
two or three hundred pages In the
multiplicity of events and statements
about which he writes, aud the pres
sure of time under which he writes
them, the marvel is how few mistakes
creep into daily newspaper. and
yet in 1000 statements if 900 Of
thcm are absolutely accurate the ro-
porter will hear no word of common
dation, but if the one thousandth
contains error, even Of a tritling char
acter, the complaint is sure to come

The State capitol is to be COM
pleted in accordance with the terms
r. Of the act of tho general assembly.
!. The commission, of which the mem
&bers Of the sinking fund commission
are mombers, met yesterday and it
was not many minutes before it WAS
almost unanimously decided to pro-
ceed under the act, the only vote
. against it being Senator Mower, who
holds that the sinking fund commits,
sion occupies the same position as Il
trustee. The presentation Of Il little
law in concise form by Attorney Con
8eral Bellinger convinced the NOM
bers that the sinking fluid commis-
aslon was not trustee, but is the
ministerial agent of tho real 'rustoe,
the general assembly, and III such
had no right to question tho acts
Validity, but could only do what the
8trustee orders it to do. Thus tho
stumbling block WIS rolled from the
path, and the joint commission got
down to tho business in hand, taking
the first step towards the commence
Nment Of tho work.
sThe sinking fund commission met
bat noon yesterday, all the mcmbers,
@including Senator Mower and Rep.
! gresentative Wilson, being present.
The commission determined not to
take up the State house completion
matter until the joint session in the
afternoon, and devoted its own ses-
&sion to considering matters of lou
$tine character.
In the afternoon all the mem
bers Of both commissions, includ
7 ing Senator Marshall and Repre-
sentatives CAN'T and Patton, we're
present.
The commission organized by the
election of Gov. McSweeney as per-
manent chairman.
The organization being perfected,
Attorney General Bellinger moved
that the sinking fund commission ac-
cept the duties placed upon it and
indicate by resolution that it would
perform the duties imposed upon it
in conformity with the act to COM
plote the State capitol, and furnish
tho amount of money necessary out

But not only in personal inter
