The grand jury did wholesome and eneouroging work yssterdar when it returned true bills against Scmerby, Daria, ond other Hupremers of the mined and rascally Iron Hall, No reader of The News who followsd the receirershin proeeedinvs, and wbo read our exposition of ths meaning and force of the extraordinary admissions^ contradictions and misrepresentations mads by Somerby and other supreme scamps on ths witness stand, eon be surprised at what has now happened. The only surprise in the matter is that th# indictments bars been so long delayed; thus enabling Somerby to go “•churmishine” about the country, posing as an injured inooesnt, and actually proceeding to spread his nets in the slight of ail men at “Baltimore City. 1 ' It would bare been better for its moral effect could the former erand jury have meted at once. But the voluminous testimony io ths reoeivyrsbip care could not be copied and laid before it until the last day of its session, vhec tffere was hardly tims to act. State's Attorney Holtziuan, Who has acted vigorously and intelligeutlv in the case and deserves grekferedit, did not 1st the matter drop, but brought it to tbo attention of the present grand jury. That body look the sams riew of the matter and of its duty in the premises that The ^News urged on Wednesday, and the indictments found yesterday are the result. The News may be permitted without boasting to take ereilit unto itself likewiso. 'll was ths first to perceive ths •igaiflcancs of hogksrby’s most extraor* dinory confsssions, and it did not hesitate to speak 1 out in po uncertain way, to call "a spade a spgd*.” and to prove out of the mouths of wielders that it was a spade, and a particularly vile one at that. Wbila other'•papers were excusing the rascals os goof) men who had made mistakes of judgmuat, and whose motives were not to be “impugned’'(Heaven save the mark!), Thu News was exposing the whole Supreme g^ng for the common scoundrels they had shown theinsslves to bs. , * There never was p plainer rase of unmitigated swindling than that coolly described and ooratpended by Somsrby. Hayes had told him of a chance to get •0 slastio bank charter for aim it nothing. Somerby .thought it would be a "good thing." The charter was purchased for a song, and a bank and trust company with a gorgeous title was created. Somsrby mud other Supreraers put in a few thousand dcjllart apiece. But the etook was mostly water, the capital wiffd. None of the “duffers^ knew anything of banking. Then the gang, as supreme otHcere of the Iron Hall, deposited the funds of the order .in the “plav'* bank and the farce of financiering, end the profit never doubt, began. In a shot^r time over $400,000 of the order’s money bad been deposited in the “bank:". 'About $00,000 more had bsen “blown in” by “investing*’ it in worthless stock or bonds of t!)|e bank. It was not made clear who profited by this transaction. The “bank" got mixed up in the Keystone and Spring Garden bank troubles, and the oruel ytate superintendent of banking fell fohl of it. He could not appreciate the beauty of “our system” of finance. He insisted that ths capital of the bank was impaired. (It had never been “paired.”) Then the proudest piece of Supreme finance on reoord was concocted. The Supremers in their capacity of officers of the Iron Hall got hurriedly together, end direeted Davis to turn over to themselves os the “bank” some *>00,000 of the order’s money, of whioh they were simply trustees. That was not a speculation, but plain, everyday peculation. The law ealls it embesclement, which is not a nice word. It is for this scoundrelly performuuoe (“helping the boys out of t he hole,** Supreme Jewyler Davis called it) , tbat the grand jury bos indicted the roseate. May just ordinary justice (not tuprema) be done to the whole precious tug! ' i ■ , *’" " ' T " rr '" ~ ^ Th* Oorryxnandor. We think we have made absolutely clear wbat we think about gerrymanders, s i Dir a. lar and plural, Demoerptic and Republican. We ore analterably opposed to them, not theoretio^ly end at some future period, b«t practically and aoyf. We repeat what we said tome dav* ago; One form of Government depends for its success upon the good faith of all concerned. We have proclaimed to $he world that here every men has a voice—ap equal voice—in the COTsronient. Therwar* %o he no classes—no m«n who count la the ogerdae ot the iraafbtee for more than any other men. The majority shell rale. .Now, tpe object and end of a gerrymander is to deprive some men of thetr equal voice—to give some men more vole# than others la the Choice ot legislative representatives. By it eoiae men are virtually dtsfreaohiaed. others doubly enfranchised. If the gerrymander be of Republican device, its purpose is by vnfotroem opd inequity to give the Republicans rre*t«r power t&an the number of votes they east would entitle them to. If it be of Democratic authorship, it seeks by the same methods to eeoort to the Democratic party greater power than the votes it can poll would juetly eeoura. In either cose the fun* domental right of substantial equality of reprceeelatioa ia violated. We ought to bo manly anough io our political methods to he fair, equitable, just. If a atajerifty of the people of this State ora Republicans, the Republicans ought to be » ooutrol* it the majority are Democrats, then the Democrate should be to authority. AD patriotic eitisens

should be at eat eu tout Nl device by which toe fan dame Dial principle of equality of voice is infringed should be tolerated, whatever party to the aggressor. Sash infringement tends to undermine the eery foundation of civil liberty and constitutional government. If one party does the evil thing, the other, when it aeearee power, is almost sore by way of reprisal, to eommit the same offense in mare aggravated form. And so a condition of permanent inequality and injustice to brought about. Worst of all, s spirit of disrespect of eonstitational safeguards, of law, of the rights of others is engendered. When legislatures defy the constitution in letter or spirit, and disobey its clear and direct mandate, wbat wonder that others than law makers manifest weakened respect for the law? , Neither is it to the point to urge that toe abase of gerrymander is of longstanding. that it nos been practiced for generations and by legislatures of all shades of political opinion. Suppose al this is true. It has never been recognized as anything else than a partisan abuse of power, as a violation of the principle of fairuees and equity. Abuses, wrongs, do not become rights and pro prieties because, forsooth! they have long been perpetrated and long been patiently borne. No; the longer thev continue to exist the graver the abuse, the greater

the wrong.

Suppose all the apportionment laws we j hare ever had io this State have been | unfair and inequitable. Is that any reason why w# should not now strive to make them fair and equitable? Old wrongs are no more venerabie than new. Bin that is hoary with age is all the more strenuously to be fought against, for it is harder to overcome. No people are more patient of wrong legislation, for a time, than Americans. They keep hoping with sublime optimism that the abuse will some bow correct itself. Their nature ie —slow an' apt to doubt. But when It doon git stirred ther' ’• no gin-obt! If we read the signs of the times arijht. their nature is now getting stirred on the question of apportionment, and the day of retribution and reform is at hand. The litigation in Wisconsin. Michigan, New York and Indiana is significant of the arousing of public sentiment. That the Court of Appeals in New York lias sustained the "New York law is immaterial. The law there is not an outrageous one; while the discussion of the question before the courta and in the public print* has served to quicken the public conscience on the subject. Here the question must not be allowed to drop. The gerrymander muet go. Tile N«>w York Celebration. The Columbus celebration in New York this week ehows again that when the metropolis undertakes a civic demonstration, success is sure to crown the work. The rest of the country looks on with admiration and pride. New York belongs to the whole country not to any State or section. It attracU men of brains, energy, and wealth from all parts as no other city does, or for a long time to come can hope to do. It is not the same to the United States that London is to Kngland, or Paris to France, because our country is so much vaster in territory and population, and because also of the fact that New York is only the commercial and social, and not the political capital of the country. If Washington were a part of New York the pre-eminence aid dominance of New York would be quite as great as that of London or Paris. New York has a genius for processions and parados. The very nature of the city haa tended to develop this. Id what other city of the world can you find such a magnificent thoroughfare as Broadway to Madieon Square, and Fifth avenue to the Park? A procession can march in a straight course northward for five miles between lines of the finest commercial buildings, clubs and hotels, and private residences the world can show. At Union .Square and Madi&on Square the open spaces afford room for reviewing stands, where hundreds of thousands can find comfortable seats. There is no great qitv in the world again where a great naval display and parade can be so effectively made. The majestic Hudson flows proudly on its western marge, with the Palisades and wooded bights beyond; the Last river winds among its islands and under the wonderful bridge on the east; and the bay sweeps away southward by Governor’s aud Liberty island to the picturesque shores of Staten island aud on betweep the fort-crowned hills of the Narrows to the sea. Moreover, New Yorkers know how to decorate their beaut ful city and to put it in gala attire. Thev all of one accord make holiday on a great occasion and enter with test and enthusiasm into its spirit At the centennial celebration in 1S89, as again this week, go where you might through the city, among the crowded warehouses by the waterside, in the manufacturing quarter, the busy wholesale districts or busier shopping streets, everywhere you should find flags, streamers, bunting, decorating the fronts. Then if you visited the residence portions of the city to its remotest bounds, the tenementhouse distriots where only foreigners swarm, even the pitiably squalid slums, there, too, you should find the national colors in profusion, and the people in their Sunday best But on the line of march decorations surpass everything attempted elsewhere, in profusion, in luxurious quality, io artistic splendor. Again, New York knows how to take care of great concourses of people, ensilv, comfortably, without that sense of overcrowding which is usually experienced when groat throngs assemble. People pour into New York from all directions by the hundreds of thousands and melt away as evening approaches so easily, so quietly, that one U amazed. Then, too, nothing could be more admirable than the manner with which the New \**>rk police manage a crowd. It is done so unostentatiously, but withal so effectively, that you hardly appreciate that any authority is exercised. But New Y'ork crowds, American crowds generally, are orderly, well-behaved, tractable, thoroughly goodnatured. People are tolerant of others’ rights aad too self-respecting to create

distarboace.

And one thing more. New York holidav weather has a way on great occasion* of being absolutely perfect after its kind. And New Y'ork weather, at its beet, to beyond compare. Ia 1889, on tha days of the celebration, the sky hod the olean, clear, brilliant blue of perfect April and May weather. Th* air waa

\

warm, hot endowed with sneh freeb, exhilarating life that it was a joy simply to breathe. And this weea the celebration has had mellow October weather whose quality has been without blemish or defect. It bos been altogether a* noteworthy week. New Y'ork has celebrated a great event worthily. By its celebration the city has done honor not only to tha memorr of Colombo* but to itself and to the whole country.

Notr* Dam*** H»lf OnturyThe celebration of the fiftieth birthday

of Notre Dame yesterday was an erenyjf general State interest. This universitv is one of the largest Catholic educational institutions in America. Centrally situated, so as to be easily accessible from ail parts of the country, its students represent every section. People of all creeds and beliefs will rejoice that the founder of this distinguished university, the Rev. F.dward Serin, is sail living. Although in his eightieth year tbit venerable priest and teacher w&s able to participate in the ceremonies of the anniversary. The French * Catholics who carried the cross and the lilied banner into this Western country where the Indian was still monarch of all he surveyed, have left a noble monument to their endeavors and achievements in this university. La Salle and, Marquette— how far in the distance their names carry the thought! What a leap from the oldtime of the portage and the slow overland routes from ea<t to west! The courier du hois used to roam the country, plyi&g his paddle up and down Jhe Wabash, but now hardly a French name remains to indicate that we were once under the sway of France. The Catholics are to be congratulated that their efforts to bring the West under civilized influences resulted so honorably. The great l niversitv of Notre Dame is an honor to Indiana. Everywhere there will be good wishes for it and its beloved founder on

tbe occasion of this anniversary.

, A i.at:ge and important part of the people of Indianapolis were formerly residents of smaller Indiana cities or villages, or of | rural bommunities. To these and to the ! people all over the State The News is a daily i record of a 1 that happens witnin the borders of Hoosierdom. The News prints more genuine State nests than any other paper. Not only does it have a regular correspondent tt every town of importance, but from i the local newspapers it winnowa many curious aud interesting items. Thus the State i department communicates to thousands of i people iftformation which would never be conveyed but through this medium. The ! object is to reflect the life of the State, not only as to its material prosperity, but in respect to those endeavors, educational or oth- ! erwise expressed, which testify to high aims and aspirations. There is hardly a corner of Indiana to which The News doea not go, and I the promptness and accuracy of its State { service have contributed to the upbuilding | ot this valued constituency. The News is for Indiana all the time. It believes in the people and in the success of their undertakings. Whether they cultivate celery along the St. Joseph or raise peaches beside the Ohio; whether they harvest their wheat in July or pluck the ripened ears in the golden autumn, The News^s for them. It is for the school-teacher, too; and ior the merchants along its streams and railroads. It has consideration for the poeta and the orators— may their tribe increase! The Nejvs is of and for Indiana, first, last and all the time. ~~

It appears that both Republican members of the New York Court of Appeals dissented from the majority and held that the law was unconstitutional, because un airand inequitable. Judge Andrews, who wrote the opinion, said: 1 recognize the gravity of the question now presented, nor do I fail to appreciate that holding the apportionment void will produce temporary inconvenience, but the evils which may follow irora this are not to be compared, I think, with the public injury which will result from sanctioning a disregard of one of the vital principles of representative government. Judge Peckham, who wrote the opinion of the court, clearly recognized tbat gross inequality of apportionment might vitiate a law. He said: This question of inequality contains, in my judgment, tbe only debatable proposition arising in these cases. We think that the courts have no power in such case to review the exercise of a discretion intrusted to the Legislature by the constitution, unless it is plainly and grossly abused. The expression, “as nearly as may be,” when used in the constitution with reference to this subject, does not mean as nearly as a mathematical process can be followed. It is a direction addressed to the Legislature in the way of a general statement upon « hioh tbe apportionment shall be made. W r e are of the opinion tbat tbe Legislature 0 0 has not violated the legitimate and necessary discretion intrusted to it by the constitution.

The highly-esteemed and always interesting Sentinel has a characteristically silly article this morning apropos of the gerrymander decision in New York. It it will examine tbe Wisconsin and Michigan cases it will see clearly what gross gerrymanders are; or if it will impartially study the present Indiana law. If the Sentinel will consult any dictionary it can add to its working vocabulary by learning the difference between ‘Unequity” and ‘ inequality.” In the passage it quotes from The News the Sentinel had before it the worde of a learned jurist of the New Y'ork Supreme Court, who spoke of one law as “much more unequal and inequitable” than another. This ought to have saved the Sentinel from exposing its ignorance in a captious footnote.
