Realism on the stage has found a cIeri

Stickney Grant, rector Of the Church Of
the Ascension, and his views are looked
on as important from the fact that he is
secretary Of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese Of New York, and is understood
to stand extremely close to Bishop Pot

are understood often to be those Of the

EHICH is TO BLAMEo

The issue Is very sharply drawn be-
tween the interstate commerce commits
sion and certain railroad interests as to
the extent Of the powers of that body
to prevent unjust discrimination and the
maintenance Of unreasonable rates. The
commission practically insists that its eff
fort to put an end to either evil as the
law now stands is a farce, and that It is
helpless until congress shall pass certain
amendments to the law which 1t offers
On the other hand, as the press dis
patches show, at least one railroad ad-
ministrator, Vice President Hines of the
Louisville & Nashville road, goes so far
as to dispute even the truth Of certain Of
the statements Of fact made by the COM
mission in this regard and to insist that
TT is not the law but the commission
(which should be held responsible for rate
cutting, and that the commission is sim
ply asking that it be given absolute pow
er to make and enforce rates at It's own
sweet will.
~ 11SuC SOulu NC DldOG more clearly
between contending interests. The public
will probably leave Mr.. Hines, of the
railroad company, and Mr. Bacon, of the
commission, to settle the question of
yeracity which exists between them. The
public question involved is, whether the
commission has the power to prevent the
abuses which are conceded to exist and
has failed to exercise them, and whether,
assuming that it is the law, not the COM
mission, that is at fault, that body should
be given the additional powers which It
asks of congress.
That the railroads have been acting In
violation OF the act and plundering the
consuming public in the interests of big
shippers is not open to question. Whose
fault is 1.-THE laws or the commission J?
If it is the fault Of the law, then the
law should be amended, whether OF not

Is contested by the roads. That is un-
Questionably true. Should 1t be given
any such power?
What happens is this: The railroad or
shipping interest which considers itself
aggrieved by the commissions order
appeals to the court, and the rates pre-
vailing remain in operation until the
court Confirms the order of the commits
s1on What the commission is now ask
ing is that congress amend the law so
that after it has made what it calls "a
defnitiye order"-that is. an order made
after a full hearing by It's members of
the matters under consideration-that or
der go into operation within twenty days
unless the aggrieved road shall file
bill IN equity in the United States court,
whereupon the order of the commission
is suspended for thirty days; but to re-
main in force thereafter unless the cir
cult court, on an examination Of the rec
ord, directs that. on a question Of law
or by reason of some evident unreason-
ableness in the order, 1t be suspended
during the further tendency of the pro-
ceedings.
The position Of the commission Is that
as long as it does not possess the power
to enforce It's own order, placing the bur-
den on the railroad concern to satisfy the
court that the order is unreasonable, it
has no such powers as would be effective
in removing recognized railroad abuses.
The railroads, at least so far as their
view finds expression in the position
taken by Mr.. Hines, insist that if the
commission Is given any power it seeks
it will be in a position to work irrep-
arabic injury to railroad interests. The
commission rejoins, that such a body Of
distinguished jurists as now compose the
interstate commission, being experts in
all that relates to railroad administra-
ton, can certainly be trusted not to
abuse its powers, and is qualified after
the fullest hearing to make such orders
in the premises as are worthy to be en-
forced, unless the courts intervene and
say their operation shall be suspended.
A wide difference Of opinion will nee
essarily prevail as to the soundness Of
the public policy which would give the
Interstate commission the powers which
it asks. as above outlined. T GIob @
will endeavor to present its view of the
question hereafter. Meanwhile it may
without improperly be said that on this
state Of facts the commission has not
shown clearly that the fault Of the ex-
listing railroad abuses are due to the
defects of the law, and in no sense or
| degree to the fault of that body itself
