But the principle is different. Vastly different! Anyone that can't see the difference—why, in one case it is the land of the people that was stolen and mortgaged, and the stealer and mortgagor was a railway company, and in the other case it was just an ordinary person that did the deed! That's the dif- ference! Of course, Wickersham will go on with the investigation So the railways that have stolen lands had better issue bonds on them pretty quick, or they may have to give them back They better not let Wickersham the sleuth catch them with any stolen lands that are not mortgayed! Of course, when bonds have been floated on them the case is different. the credit of the railway company if their security for their bonds were impaired by giving back the coal lands to the peo ple. To be sure, the ordinary thief’s credit is not often so tenderly looked after; but no doubt it would be if the attor It would injure neys general and prosecuting attorneys could be selected from) firms in which the real attributes of mercy are studied “Since justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice, none of us Should see salvation.” These are the words that ring constantly through Wick ersham’s finely-attuned ears. These words occurred to him, no doubt, when he found the Chicago packers rebating last spring They were putting in stuffed claims against the railway com panies for “lost freight” and “damaged shipments,”.and the railways were paying them like little men. The little packers that could not get such “claims” allowed were in an awful hole in competition with the rebaters. But Wickersham, after he had them dead to rights and on the way to jail, let the packers go. He said that he didn’t be lieve there was any criminal intent. It was a practice that had grown up, and the absent-minded beggars of packers had for- got to quit it. So he told them that he would let them off, but they had better not let him catch them at it again. They will try not to. Someone has pointed out the fact that the packers had been prosecuted and convicted for the same things years ago; but Wickersham is too merciful to let that make any difference. They meant no harm in the last case, anyhow. With Wick- ersham the quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth like a cloudburst from a summer sky—especially on bondholders.
