Ii he was somewhat ridiculous ten years ago, he
has so changed that he is now in every way
worthy of respect lie is no longer to be known
as the boy orator of the Platte but is entitled
to be reckoned, with and classed as a statesman.
While there are millions OF Americans who will
never vote Tor him, not one now has cause to feel
ashamed OF him. In his sojourn in the different
countries OF the world and contact with foreign
potentates and statesmen he has upheld the dig
nifty and fair name OF his country The impress
sion his personality and Americansm made
abroad cannot be otherwise than greatly beneh-
cial to his country We all should therefore feel
both proud Of and grateful to him.

Mr. Bryan is bound to exert good influence over
his party. Under his leadership the Democratic
party will be brought to higher standard, nearer
to that plane to which Theodore Roosevelt has
raised the Republican party. No good citizen
can regret that. The stronger and better the
Democratic party becomes, the stronger and bet
ter will be the Republican. We believe the Re
publican party can be only benefited by the de-
velopment and greater strength of its opponent
For the good of the country let both parties aim
at and attain if possible a high Standardized the
steel OF each be worthy of the other 1t is to such
splendid use as this the talents and craftsmanship
OF high calibre men like Roosevelt and Bryan are
put, and for which their country feels grateful
With such men in the ascendency and leading
their parties the nation is safe from those sinis-
ter and dangerous influences exerted by the Ry-
ans, Belmonts Platts, Quiggs Whitneys, Coxes,
Odells, Taggarts, and men of that ilk Truly it
may be said of Mr.. Bryan "if his country does
not need him, his party does"
Welcome home, Mr. Bryant 1t is pleasure
for us to add our huzzahs to those OF the thous-

RIGHTS on ROAD DRIVERS.

n 7 is to be hoped that the victims of the car
\ riage accident at Dover will take legal means
OF redress. According to the reports traction
engine bore down upon two women who were
driving a horse, the animal scared and a wreck
followed, both the young women being injured.
A snorting traction engine coming down the road
is an object that will strike terror to horses.
The law has thrown safeguards around
people who use the highways. The traction en-
gine men must give ample warning and prevent
accidents if they can do So
In this instance it is declared that the law was
grossly violated, that no notice. whatever, of the
approach of the engine was given and the acci-
dent followed, 1t was by good chance that the
young women escaped death. This incident, it
seems to us, is calling for the attention Of the

MR.. BRYANS WELCOME HOME.

THAT was indeed splendid greeting the
friends of Mr.. Bryan gave him in New
York yesterday on his return to his dear native
land" after an absence of many months and dur
ing which he made complete tour OF the world.
There was in the welcome something deeper and
more sincere than mere politics. Indeed politics
was almost obscured by those feelings existing
between friends, neighbors and fellow country
men. 1t was that feature Of the reception that
made Mr.. Bryan forget for the moment that he
is Democrat, and caused him to be supremely
happy. To be respected and honored as a man
is far more desirable than mere political popular
ity.
While we do not agree with the political prn-
>ipes Of Mr. Bryan, and believe he will not reach
he White House, at least not in 1908, we admit
that he is very much stronger man to-day than
he was in 1896 and 1900. lie has developed and

AIDED ADDICKS
IN GAS SCHEME
Now Lawson Says Nipple Was
Ills Ally in Bay State
Gas

Under date line of Boston, August 20,
Thomas w. Lawson states that Frank
X. Nipple, late president of the defunct
Real Estate Trust Company, Of Phila-
delphia, was an ally of j. Edward Ad-
dicks in his Bay State gas scheme.
Upon this subject Lawson talks as
follows:
Il deem it necessary to call attention
to some facts in regard to the failure
yesterday OF the Real Estate Trust
Company, of Philadelphia.
"Hipple, president of the Real Estate
Trust Company was an ally of Addioks.
Through the company Addicks put the
gigantic Bay State Gas jugglery.
"'rhe Real Estate Trust Company
was the institution whence came the
S1,OOO,OOO 900 issue of Bay State stock.
When this deal began there were but
100000 shares outstanding. Presently
it began to pour forth in such quanti-
ties that Wall street proceeded to in
vestigate.
"At every stage the inquiry ran into
the Real Estate Trust Company and
the say so that the transaction was
right. Finally New York house laid
before the exchange over 100000 shares
of the stock, and Bay State shares were
thrown out of the New York and Bos-
ton Exchanges. Even then there was
no whisper against the integrity of the
Real Estate Trust Company. So power
ful, in fact, was this company that It
brazenly continued to issue and guar
antee the honesty Of the product Of
Addicks' printing press until no man
knew or could ascertain the amount Of
Bay State stock outstanding.
To Addioks Personally
When the receiver came into Bay
State affairs 1t was discovered that
there had been issued to Addicks per-
sonally, in a single day, 100 full books
Of certificates, amounting to $4,000, 600.
Yet there was no mention of the Real
Estate Trust Company.
'In 1886 it became necessary to turn
over the Bay State Company to other
people. and it was decided to elect Ma
than Matthews, of Boston, its presi-
dent, to save the whole structure OF
Addicks from a sudden blow. II was
necessary that the Real Estate Trust
Company certify to all the different
documents.
$50 all hands went to Philadelphia
Addicks called up Nipple. Very sick
in bed came back the answer. 'Bosh,
said the only American who has been
able to make gold eagles from passing
windstormS
'He marched the entire party up to
Nipples house, and he, with one of the
lawyers and the sick man in bed, were
for all of Addieks' purposes, the entire
Real Estate Trust Company. All the
papers were properly certified and
guarantees given"

We cannot understand why any Delawareans
should go to New York to hear the noise of the
welcome to Bryan. Just let them listen to the
noise-producing street cars that operate in this
city. One of the Darby line moved slowly up
Market street the other night 1t was heavy,
grinding car and had a different and peculiar
noise for about every ten yards that it travelled.
Other cars coming on behind it had varied noises.
Indeed the travel was like moving menagerie.

a trust in noise. They would have a monopoly

Editor The Evening Journal.
Another reader Of your paper has called
the attention Of the city officials to the
dangerous practice Of driving herds of
Wild cattle through the city streets IN
day time when hundreds of men. women
and children are about. I want to add my
word Of protest for / think this is most
dangerous The men to whom the cattle
are consigned could just as well unload
the cattle at night when driving them to
the slaughter house This could be done
when the streets are deserted. If the ami
mails Should stampede at night there Is
hardly any possibility that any one would
be injured. That more people have not
been hurt In the numerous wild rushes
that haye taken place recently is due
more TO good luck than good manage
ment. The city officials should take some
action In the matter and prevent the
butchers from Jeopardizing the lives OF
the residents.

at Belmont Park on Saturday. The Westches-

straightaway course at Monmouth Park on
July s, 1890 AS straight course is avail
able, Roseben will have to around the turn.
but "Davy" Johnson. his owner. is confident
that the big OF Ben Strome will be equal
to the task.
Salvators record was made with a flying start
and the aid Of pacenlaker. and to Roseben will
be accorded the same privileges. A pacemaker
will accompany Roseben Saturday If Frank
Wier. his trainer, thinks it advisable. Shaw will
have the mount. John W. Rogers. who trains
for Harry Payne Whitney. will be of the
timers. He held the watch when Salvador made
his great flight and established a record that has
stood for sixteen years and which up to this
time has been looked unbeatable W. H.
Baretto, the official timer, and third person,
who will be decided upon to-day, will also be in
the timing stand
Horsemen differed yesterday as to the proba-
bility of Roseben being equal to the task i'm
that a new mark was at the mercy of the great
sprinter, while others expressed the opinion that
his remarkable speed trial on Tuesday might
count against his coming back soon to try
for further honors. Racing folk deeply in
terested in the subject, and under favorable con-
ditionS of weather and track a record breaking
crowd is likely TO be in attendance
