MAYOR SCHMITZ.

The tribute paid by e. H. Hartman
in his statement given out at Omaha
to Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco is
couched in the strongest terms and
bears special significance, not only
from the character and relations of
Mr. Hartman, but also from the fact
that he was early on the scene of the
disaster and speaks from thorough
personal observation. Mr.. Harriman's
Endorsement crowns the general ver-
dict of approval of Mayor Schmitz
bearing and efficience throughout as
trying circumstances as could befall
any man in his position.
Mayor Schmitz' candidacy and cleo
ton to his Office as a representative
of the labor elements was regarded in
many quarters with apprehension and
treated with derision at the time. The
impression thus spread abroad quite
extensively was that San Francisco in
some sort of preposterous frenzy had
chosen a dangerous socialist or ram
umph that in so fearful an emergency
he has borne himself with such calm.

to win the plaudits of all citizens Of
every grade and political faith and the
public acknowledgment of the admira-
ton of a man like Mr.. Hartman.
standing at the very opposite pole Of
class interest and doubtless unfavor-
ably prejudiced at the start.
1t only once more illustrates how
great emergency, whether of war or
the fury OF natural forces, cancels all
ordinary superficial distinctions in the
stricken community and demonstrates
that no class has a monopoly Of the
manly qualities which are required to
meet the crisis and which it always
calls into play. 1t would be fortunate
If this fact we're better remembered
than it is in the ordinary course of
things.

Praise from Edgar Howard.
r~o,,,-N IJnroId (nopa


On many occasions heretofore the Herald
has expressed belief that Edward Rosewater
s the strongest man in Nebraska in point
OF popularity with republican votes. We are
stlll OF that opinion. For thirty years he
has been the real leader of every republican
revolt against the railroad rulings of the
republican party. Every time the choice OF
the railroads has been defeated in a repub-
lican convention Rosewater was responsible
for that defeat Every time the anti-mon-
opoly element in the republican ranks re-
volted the foisting of railroad candidates
upon the party ticket IL was Edward Rose
water who led the revolt and marshalled the
anti-monops for the polls. He is peculiarly
fitted to become the leader OF Nebraska
republicans at this time. Just now, no mat
ter how insincere the leaders may be, the
republican party in Nebraska is boldly pro-
claiming for those anti-monoply principles
so long advocated by Mr.. Rosewater. The
Herald is able to detect upon the political
body of the Omaha editor many hideous
spavins and ring-bones, but at the same
time and through the same eyes we read
record OF splendid effort on his part to ac-
complish something for his state in the mat
ter of driving the railroads and corporations
out OF the governing business. II the fair
sentiment Of Nebraska republicans might
be spoken IL would lead to the certain NOM
ination OF Mr.. Rosewater for the senate.

JUDICIAL REVIEW AvEYpwryTs.

The so-called Allison amendment,
declarstory of what the president de-
clares to have already been in the rate
bill, proves to be the means of agree
ment for more specifically declaring
it's effect in other important points.
The amendment accomplished this by
recognizing Jurisdiction Of the federal
circuit court in equity to determine
suits brought against the Interstate
Commerce commission, thus being a
starting point from which the senate
could proceed TO dispose of other
propositions bearing on judicial re-
view.
The result already is substantial
agreement, which goes a long dis
lance in minimizing the interference
OF the courts with the action of the
commission and obviating the delays
Of litigation which have justly been
a main ground of complaint. Accord
ingly, one of the most important fea-
lures to be incorporated in the bill
will do away with the ex parte pro-
cedure, which had in practice de-
generated into little more than the
filing OF a formal affldavlt whereby
an introductory order or decree would
issue suspending or setting aside a
commission order under the amended
bill. Such suspensory decree can
be made only upon circuit court
hearing, and then only by concurrence
of two judges thereof On top of that
It is provided that appeal from the
circuit court as TO any interlocutory
decree lies only to the supreme court
of the United States and must be taken
within thirty days.
Thus all judicial proceedings are
vigorously limited to a short cut from
any appeal whatsoever from the com
missions orders to final decision
thereon. The scope Of review, too, is
in fact left, as the friends of rate con-
troll believe, at the constitutional mini
mum, precisely where it was originally
intended in the bill to leave IT,
When It is remembered that the bill
confers upon the commission the am
plest rate power which it was posi-
BILE to formulate, authorizing 1t not
only to annul as unreasonable a rail-
road-made rate, but also to substitute
for It a reasonable rate, as we'll as to
regulate transportation service of
every kind, and that the agreement
among senators prevents any change
in the bill regarding this power, It can
be seen how far-reaching is the prog
ress for which the Allison amendment
as working basis paved the way.

There is no concealing the fact that

between them and the coal mining

the ground that there was nothing TO

THE GRAND IURr INSTRUCTIONS.

THE GRAND LCR1. INSTRUCTIONS.
Judge Sutton's instructions to the
grand jury are comprehensive and ex-
plicit. They enumerate the particular
classes of offenses which the grand
jury should investigate. These Of
lenses are those which ordinarily
would remain hidden unless the evil
dence of their commission were drawn
out by compulsory process, which the
grand jury can exercise as distin-
guished from the power of the county
attorney in filing informations based
on evidence voluntarily furnished to
him.
Roughly speaking these offenses re-
late to the integrity of our govern
ment, frauds against the ballot, which
would impair the right of self-govern-
ment, corruption in the administration
of public affairs, bribery of public off,
Gals and the misuse of official power.
The policy of converting a grand jury
once every two years, which has been
adopted by the judges of the district
court, should give an outlet for COM
/ plants of all kinds against public Off
GERS and at the same time safeguard
/ public officers against unfounded
charges.
II there has been any crooked work
done hereabouts in the city hall or
/ court house, or in the conduct of our
elections, that can be traced down def
/ nitely TO the perpetrators, the people
/ of Omaha would like to have them in
dicted and will uphold the grand
| jury in bringing true bills against
them At the same time the grand
/ jury should not allow itself to be used
for personal spite work or petty ven
geance. or to blacken the name of any
one on mere suspicion.
/ II must be confessed that most of
our grand juries in the past, with few
/ exceptions, have proved disappointing
either for OveTshooting the mark or for
doing nothing at all. 1t is sincerely
hoped the present grand jury will do
its duty conscientiously and fearlessly
so that when its report comes TO be
made it will satisfy every one that its
inquisition has been on the square.
