The Sun says that it is authoized to
state that the Hendricks and Prick in
vestigations of the Equitable will be
pastoral poems compared with the in
vestigation which Mr.. Morton's ac-
countants are now making of every de-
partment of the society. Other resig-
nations are to be accepted. The Sun
also says that Mr., Morton will
prosecute all the directors, big and lit
tie, who have abused their trusts by
sing the funds of the society for their
own personal ventures and profit.
Many suits are already in contcmpla-
ton and will be brought as fast as the
Developments warrant the preparation
of the papers against these men to
compel restitution of the profits lille
gally acquired by the use of the funds
of the society. The World says there
will be no Legislative investigation Of
the Equitable.

Tarbell and DOdd.

Ida M. Tarbell has scored "a good
point against S. G. 7. Dodd, the able
solicitor of the Standard Oil Co. A
short time ago in defending Mr.. Rookie
Teller, Mr.. Dodd said that prior to en-
actment of tho interstate commerce
law the rebate system was universal.
The Standard Oil Co. did not invent
this system, it found it existing, and
fuding thut it could not do business
without submitting to it, made the
best terms that it could with the rail
roads. The idea that Mr. Dodd wish
ed to convey was that Mr.. Rockefeller
was not morally to blame for accepting
rebates, because at the time that he
was building his business on rebates
there was no public sentiment against
them and the practice was universal.
In reply to this Miss Tarbell quotes
from speech delivered by Mr.. Dodd
when he was not solicitor for the
Standard Oil, but was delegate at
large to the state constitutional con-
yention Of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Dodd's
speech was pretty good anti-railroad
argument. He declared railroad to
be public highway for public bene-
fit and that no special privilege should
be granted by it to one man, or set OF
men, and denied to others. He held
that competition is the best protection
of the public and that it is against the
law to destroy it by creating mono p
oily in any branch of business de
showed how discrimination in favor OF
one individual would build up that
man and destroy others, advance one
kind of business and break down an
other. He told the constitutional con-
vention that unless the people are Civ
en- a remedy for this evil of discrimina'
ton, they would sooner or later take
the remedy into their own hands.
Mr.. Dodd's words show very clearly
that the moral, legal and the economic
character of the rebate system was
well understood at the very time thai
Mr.. Rockefeller was creating the vast
power of the Standard Oil Co. on it,
1t may be said that Mr.. Rockefeller
submitted to this system because hi
could not help it, but while this may
be a sufficient defense for Mr.. Rookie
Teller from the standpoint of 'tpractic
al" business, it is surely no defense
from the standpoint of sound ethics
It is not justification for man to say
that he does a wrong thing because i
he did not do it, others would do i
and gel the advantage of him in bust
ness. If Mr.. Rockefeller accepted re
bates in building up the business O
the STANDARD Oil Co. then his fortune
is founded upon system o. gross in
justice and wrong, and the distinguish
ed lawyer who became his solicito
might easily have put him right, ever
if he himself had no convictions on thu
subject. Wall Street Journal.

Old GrOYer In Harness.

A distinct sense of security and en-
enlargement comes to the country
over the fact that Ex-President Cleve-
land has buckled on the harness and
taken cherge of the tangled affairs of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
which has been so conspicuously be-
fore the public for some time
The six hundred thousand policy
holders who have been so seriously
alarmed can now tVke heart and feel
that their interests will not be sacrificed
They may rest assured that, as Mr..
Cleveland says, there will be no repe-
tition of the scandalous and tragic
chapter in the history of the society
that came 80 near doing it to death.
Cleveiand's promise will be accepted
and, if he can prevent it, those who
are more interested in lining their own
pockets than they are in protecting
the interests of over q half million
members, will not be put in control or
in a position to do harm, ard, if he can
not prevent this, we may be sure that
the ex-president will resign from the
position and SO advise the country.
It is perhaps the first time in the
worlds history that the personality of
one man, coming at an opportune time
saved from imminent and inevitable
wreck financial institution so power
fnl and comprehensive. Men in the
past have warded off disaster from
great financial institutions by coming
to their aid with money to help them
over temporary difficulties; but Cleve-
land brought no money. He brought
himself and that alone was sufficient to
inspire confidence.
No greater illustration Of the value
of character could be shown. The peo-
pie know Cleveland and know that he
will do as he says. They knew him in
his younger days although the circle
was much smaller and they elected
him sheriff. When more people come
to know him they elected him mayor.
Coming more into public view in this
capacity more people recognized and
knew him, and they elected him gov
ernor of New York. From this alti-
tude he was seen of all men, and every
one recognized in him man of force
and character. No one believed him
infallible, but everyone knew that he
would do what he thought was right,
regardless of consequences to himself
or Others.
Men of the Cleveland stripe will con-
ciliate the public aud permit the vast
aggregation of wealth to be managed
by private individuals, while the
Hydes and Alexanders destroy public
confidence and create a demand that
such vast amounts of the public's mon
ey shall be taken out of the hands Of
those who misuse the trust and sub
ject X to their individual interests.
Grover Cleveland at the head of this
great association may be considered
an important event in the history Of
American finances. ae has crlled up
on the policy holders to Join him and
assist him and no doubt the response
will be generous Memphis News

JoLTs FROM THE JAPANESE
Tendency to Rate Big Men Above
Small Ones Has Been Knocked
Out by Islanders.

In no respect has the white man
been surer of his superiority over
men of darker skins than in regard
to his fighting powers. He has be-
lieyed himself easily the best sol
der and the finest organizer of war
in the world, says the Cleveland
Leader. What white nation is con
fdent now of the accuracy of
that estimate? Who is certain
that there are white men any
where who can Outright the little
brown islanders of Japan?
1t has been the belief of the oc-
cident, if not Of orientals, that the
typical warrior should be gruif
and blunt, more given to talks Of
feats of arms than to anything del.
icate, %fanciful or aesthetic. What
swashbucklers, what swearing
troopers, what dangerous rufians
of the western world can claim su.
%periOrity in all or anything that
makes a soldier over the Japan
ese, who speak softly and are nat.
urally smiling, courteous and def
erential, who love beauty so much
that they make festivals of the
blossoming of fruit trees in spring,
and are so dainty that they care
more for fans than strong drink
and value tooth brushes above
hearty food?
In Europe and America the gen.
eral tendency has been to rate big
men above small men for army
service. Yet the eVer-victorious
and altogether wonderful armies
of Japan have no drunken rowdies,
They are not attended by a licen-
tious horde of camp-fOllowers.
The unmatched soldiers of the mi.
kado are small, dapper, neat. They
would be called effeminate if they
had not proved themselves almost
superhumanly virile.
The belief has been very general
among English-speaking people
that meat-eaters have better nat.
ural equipment for fighting than
v~egetarians or those who use little
flesh. The japanese live almost
wholly on vegetable food. What
b%eef-eaters have better fighting
blood? Was there ever a race OF
more perfect warriors?

Of destruction of so noble a struc,
