an exchange, in reviewing the careers Of
John Nipple the late Senator John
Nipple Mitchell of Oregon and Frank
III. Nipple, the Philadelphia fnancier
who committed suicide two weeks ago,
says:
John Nipple left Pennsylvania in 1850 for the
Pacific coast for domestic reasons He added
the name Of Mitchell in Oregon. There he
practiced law, entered politics and was elected
to the United States senate for number Of
terms No suspicion lay against him But at
the age of seventy he was convicted last sum
mer in connection with western land frauds
against the government of which he was an
officer and sentenced to serve six months in
jail. Death Unexpectedly saved him from that
last shame
Frank H. Nipple had risen TO the front rank
Of Philadelphia financiers He was pillar Of
the church, trustee and treasurer OF its funds
man Of unquestioned prubity. His secret
transactions were not even suspected by his
closest associates. Last week, without APPARENT
couse, he killed himself. When well past sixty
he had not only wrecked the trust company Of
which no was president but cmhca1led its
funds
Between these two cousins both Of whom
ended badly in spite Of splendid approximation
FOR worthy success it is not even known that
there existed casual acquaintance Their
lines were cast In different places and separ ne
pursuits But the same failure and the same
moral appear at the end Of both misdirectcd
lives
Now, mark the reading of the above
quotation, and see whether or not the
conclusions arrived at by the writer
quoted are logical and inevitable. mo
suspicion lay against him But at the
age Of seventy he was convicted, last
summer, in connection with western
land frauds against the government.
Well, from this it appears that, if he
had died several years ago, blood would
not have told" His name would have
been inscribed on the page of honor. See
the element Of chance here2 Again,
the wrong that Senator Mitchell com
mitted has been, and is being, committed
by hundreds who have acquired or are in
the process of acquiring, large fortunes.
In thousands of cases such wrongs or
similar wrongs, or crimes, have been
committed with impunity in the United
States. Many millions of dollars have
been stolen by financial sharks with i'm
punity; tens of thousands Of acres of
public lands have been wrongfully an.

BRYAN'S RETURN.

The reception that Mr. Bryan has
met with at the hands of his country
men on his return home from tour of
the world is without parallel in Ameri.
can history.
Never before has private citizen met
with such demonstration Dewey re-
turning from the Philippines was an
admiral Of the American Maya popu-
lar hero whose name and achievements
were on every tongue. A great naval
parade was given in his honor and u
grand arch was erected to commemorate
his victory at Manila Gen. Grant,
twice president, returning from his trip
around the world, was given a great
ovation. Neither the Grant nor the
Dewey demonstrations is TO be compared
with the Bryan reception. Bryan comes
rs a private citizen. Grant and Dewey
came as returning heroes whose military
exploits appealed to the popular imagi,
nation, and whose homecoming was
given the brilliance and splendor of a
military fete.
The Bryan homecoming is marked by
the simplicity of the proceedings There
has been no blare of brass bands, no
parade of gold lace, no clank of arms
There has been an outpouring of his
fellow citizens to welcome the man and
the citizen, without spectacular allure.

people in the past few years There has
been n revolution a peaceful revolution,
but revolution that has shattered idols
and shaken the pillars of society.
Mr.. Bryan has contributed more than
any other man to the awakening of the
American conscience and the revolt
against commercialized politics. Rather
than to compromise with the forces Of
organized greed he has perferred de-

mines have been stolen by members OF
the privileged classes, with sort Oh
quasi .connivance of the government
and arch offenders have been white
washed.
As far as the pratice of the unlted
States government is concerned, the
principle that all men are created equal
is dead. In the administration OF the
government injustice, to considerable
extent, predominates over justice. Inc
big wrong doors are not, as a RUE
brought to justice. They are usually
not tackled" at all; but, when they are
indicted, they are practically sure OF
their acquittal, for they have the stun
that will Virtually purchase their ac
quittal. Justice is not, in numerous
cases, free in the United States. In
many important cases it has its price.
Occasionally, however a big wrong doer
is singled ont and made an example Of
In some cases where an unimportan'
law has been violated unintentionally
bv righteous men, the punishment Is
very swift and terribly severe.
Now, we are not defending and dc
not purpose to defend, the character OF
the late Senator Mitchell of Oregon. He
bappened to be one of the few big
fellows" who could not do wrong with
IMMUNITY. But mark you, most big
fellows" can do considerable wrong with
impunity.
1t, therefore, appears that, in Mr..
Mitchells case, it was not blood that
told"; it was rather commerciallsm,
imitation, partial justice and Chance
that told.
Nor did blood tell" in the case OF
Frank H Nipple. (Of course blood will
always tell iu the case of the truly
honest, wise and Just; b1t this compare
lively small class is not here under con
sideration). He had simply become
gradually infected with the bacilli of
high finance and commercialism He
had observed for years that in many high
places vice dishonesty and injustice
were stalking triumphant. He saw that
in many high places, the rule was, Honor
where honor is Not due He first pi.ied,
then endured, and finally embraced He
was not strong enough to resist his temp
tations, because he had seen hypocrisy
crowned with laurel, had seen dishonesty
battered and honored, and had witnessed
Injustice exalted. 1t was not blood that
told: it was commercialism and ln-
Justice and widespread dishonesty and
fearful hypocrisy that told. OF course,
triumphant vice would not have infected
him had he been truly honest man.
But it should he remembered that many
of those who are called honest are not
so in reality. An honest man is morally
honest, even in those cases in which the
law permits him to overreach others, to
put 1t mildly.
Hence il is obvious that, from the
standpoint of absolute honesty, b'ood T'd
teH But, as comparatively few have
any adequate conception of absolute
honesty, it is safe to say that, from the
standpoint of the low standards of
honesty eugendered by commercialism,
blood did not tel" in the cases here I'M
der discussion.
