curry into the recent '.leak" in his Department.
Whereby Washington spectators made a raid

most the proportions of a panic.
When the acr1on Of the government in seeking
lhJunctlonS against proposed freight increases
III the West was announced, Mr.. Wickcrsham
congratulated himself upon the secrecy which had
been preserved. But developments show that not
only was his action we'll known in speculative cir

the fall of prices i'll New York. In pursuance
OF tins plan, the New York market was carefully
filled with Washington selling orders for several
days. So many stocks were offered that a dull
market was as saturate with them as a sponge
tull OF water. Of course this created uneasiness
and vague alarm at some impending trouble. So
that, when the news at length came out, the mar
ket broke into Generalization. What Mr.. Wick
ersham had persuaded himself was a State secret

used to further a gambling coup, which those to
whom the suppressed information had been CON

one which ought TO do much toward removing
heretofore existing causes of criticism against
the inferior Federal Courts. Under its pro-
visions the repetition of the sense of outrage
felt by several Southern and Western States,
when inferior Federal Court Judges undertook
to stay the application of State laws by restrain
ing the officers from enforcing them, will be
impossible. For the amendment provides that
no such interlocutory decree shall issue except up
on application TO a Judge of the Supreme Court
or the Circuit bench. and then only after a hear
ing before three judges. Had such a Limitation
upon the Federal Court power of I'M junction eX-
lsted in 1907. there would have been saved to the
South the i'll effects Of the resentment, the excite
ment and the false accusations of hostility to
property rights to which the litigation over
freight and passenger rate legislation subjected
IL.
The power of injunction, generally, We con-
ceive to be a s%aIutarv and proper exercise of the
judicial function. 1t aims at the preservation
of property and the maintenance of private
rights. But The basis of the power Is that it
should be excrted only when it is necessary to
prevent an irreparablc injury, and when the fact
that such an injury will result is prima facie cs-
tabllshcd by evidence. The vice in the inlunc-
lions issued in restraint of the enforcement of
State laws as 10 passenger and freight rates was
that they were uniformly issued without this
sort of satisfactory evidence. Inferior judges,
some OF whom were ex-attorneys of the railroads
and some OF whom owed their appointments
to their former employers, undertook to negative
state laws on OK parte statements concerning a
subject on which they were not and could not
have been informed. The fact that in several
instances the taking of evidence on the merits on
an INDUCTION issued over night continued through
many months, and the fact that in other in
stances experience showed that rates alleged to
be contlscatorv returned increased profits c-
tablish this. fact beyond a doubt.
1t came as a shock to the South to learn from
the Supreme Court that the 18th Amendment
had been, to all practical purposes, repealed by
the 14th. That, however. is an established re-
suit. But if the lawmaking power of a State
Is To be subject to review BY the Federal Courts,
1t is of the highest Importance that the power
should he safeguarded !; that it should be exercised
only by Judges Of character, and after a hearing
on the merits. In securing the acceptance of

the South as a thoughtful aud practical states

THE WORK NOT PREJUDICED.

The Associated Charities, by ordering Il
prompt, open. and thorough investigation, meets
tie charges brought against DIR. Buchanan, It's
superintendent, in the right spirit. The work IN
Richmond is we'll organized and has done IN
calculable good. 1t has become a necessary part
III the city. and it. will continue. no matter what
the result Of investigation shall he. But an at
tack of this sort, if unsubstsntiatcd, should he
clearly dissolved if in any way justified, 1t should
BE- clearly declared. Only by the most searching
enquiry and the fullest possible publicity can the
institution, in the face of the charge, retain
the confidence of the public, which it has gained.
If, as DR.. Buchanan seems confident and the
many who know him and his WORK believe, 1t
shall appear that the accusations brought against
him and the work cannot be sustained, IT viii
have been again evidenced that those VIII" would
attempt to minister to the wounded and the out
east NAV count on being now and again wound
ed aud reviled for their pains. That Is one OF
the penalties which all must pay who attempt
to aid those who are passed beyond the point OF
beipinc themselves. But that this is true, Is
simply added evidence of the need and useful
mess of the work. The outcast and the vicious
are not expected to have the virtue Of gratitude.
That they are lost to it. is the more reason why
they should he given sympathy and succor.
On the other hand, if the unexpected should
show a basis Of truth in the charges, the public
should know it and the institution will Inc pre-
pared 10 meet the situation without the loss OF
public confidence The one thing that ought to
lie remembered in this distressing situation is,
that it is the man and not the work that is UNI
der attack. The work itself, based on a noble
impulse, is bigger than any man. 1t ought not
10 be prejudiced by the act of any of its officers,
except as it forgets its mission in the improper
shielding of wrong or misconduct. So far from
doing that. ii has acted in the present instance
with commendable promptness and energy. Ir.
Buchanan himself approves and requests this
course. An accusation Of an astounding charac-
ter has been faced by all parties involved in the
only brave and proper way.

Murder Up-t0-DatH.

Fifty-nlne and a quarter hours the Kansas City jury
deliberated over the guilt OF DIR. b. c. Hyde before
a verdict was reached. Without the firm resolution
up the struggle and the case would have resulted in a
mistrial. as 50 many murder cases result under our
system Of criminal procedure. The Latshaw prece-
dent. IL closely followed. might lead to more expe-
dition in all such trials. and give a degree Of certainty
TO our Jurisprudence that Is now sadly lacking.
Whether exact justice would be reached by that
means Is another matter. The implement of death
in this instance is rather too Intangible an affair TO
appeal to the Imagination, which euuips murderers
with biudgeons and loud firearms and finds II hard
to endow such eluaive things as germs with the quail
ties that measure up to the standard OF granddaughter.
On this point however. the world win have to
change its ideas. The suggestion that typhoid germs
were employed may or may not be in accordance with
the real facts this time, but sooner or later such
elusive agencies VIII be used for purposes of murder.
The discoveries OF science are open to all and evil
doors win apply them to improper ends quite as read
fly as benevolent beings will use them for good.
The Hyde charge N"ppens to be the first OF these
indictments on scientific grounds. and 1t seems in.
credible for that re"son alone. Certainly killing by
means OF germs IL feasible. and 1t involves no lesser
degree Of malignitv than murder by any other means
The evidence gatisfed the Jury that Hyde had taken
lives by this. process, and the jury knew more OF the
testimony than we outsiders have at our command. II
Hyde Is guilty. as the jury declares he Is a far more
dangerous and wicked scoundrel than the thug who
kills with enusion OF blood.-Detrot Free Press.

which his great heart was capable, his figure still
stands out III sharp definition against the fiery

opportunity and temptation, hesitate to play the
traitor to his country.
Merely by chance the Wall Street furry on this
occasion cost no failures, nor resulted IN any
deaths or suicides. That, however, was excep-
tional and its probability entered not at all into
the calculations of those who sat in the game.
They bartered honor for gold and were at once
content with themselves and careless as to others.
Their operations cansed a r@1er loss of over
S125, 100000, in which were doubtless included
many real losses throughout the country among
those who could not afford to lose. They caused
the sacrifice Of much valuable stock at far less
than its real value by people whose fears were I'M
duly excited. They sent a shiver of apprehension
throughout the business and industrial world.
And all this because, in Washington, some
Benedict Arnold recognized in the thing that
served him as conscience a commodity that had a
price!
