IN A LATE MESSAGE.
Rourke Cockran Dotando tho Domo
eratic Party, Praises President
Roosevelt for lils Message, Which
Ho Says Oui lines the Conditions
Under Which I try an Recomes tho
Ordained Champion.
During tiie consideration of tho
Indian appropriation bill in the
House Mr. Townsend, or Michigan,
delivered a speech in which be re
('"- ?- hearsed the history of Republican
(> legislation, Which, be said, ho did for
tho purpose of "disputing tho unwar
ranted claims of our Democratic
brothron."
Ho was not, he said, defending
tho present Administration. "It. needs
no dofenco with tho American peo
ple," he said. "Its record will Ilu
mino tho pagos of United States his
tory and mark an epoch in popular
govorninont." Ho declared that the
student of the future would point to
it. as "tho period when the people
(ramo into tho possession of their own
by establishing liv facts the theories
of a Republic, whereby Federal law
is enacted for no class or financial
condition, but. for all the people."
Ho said that tho legislation of the
last two Congresses had been charg
ed with producing the late financial
fj disturbance, and ho undertook to
rofute tho charge as untrue. He re
ferred especially to the railroad leg
islation and said that Democratic pol
iticians, flndng that, tho legslntlon
waa good, desired to adopt it to
thomaelvos as a political asset in fu
ture .ampnigna.
Declaring faull, li liding to bc Hie
largest part of the capital of the
Democrats, he declared "Itu? Demo
cratic party has i: nose for carrion,
it can acent corruption at very long
range, but it lias no relined distinc
tion aB to ibo kind." Every little
while, he said, ho heard or read of
soiiio Democrat saying that, the rate
bill, the anti trust law and the en
forcement of thom were of Democrat
ic origin; that Republicans bad stol
on Democratic thunder: that. Prcsl
Democratic party may come io v
them by right of posossion under the
Statute of limitations."
0*1 Mr. Townsend denied (hui the rate
law and (be principles it represented
were of Democratic origin or con
ception, ami he inquired if the Pres
ident had departed from Republican
policios win di ii had advocated. Ile
Iben discussed uni i -1 ru st legislation,
and compared the action under the
Cleveland administration and under
the Roosevelt administration, As
compared with ('loveland's adminis
tration be said (here had been under
Hui Roosevelt ad tn i n isl ral ion four
limes as, many hills in equity bled,
niuo time:; as many indictments
lound and seven times as many con
viciions, with nine indictments cases
Mill pending. A nt i I ru.-.! law, he
s'vid, was not of Democratic origin,
ami its enforcement was md to Dem
ocratic credit.
Cockran Answers Townsend.
Representativo Rou tit ? Cockran, of
Now Voil;, Democrat, denied the ac
curacy of Mr. Townsend's, statement,
and said that since (lie beginning of
the Republic theri had not been a
singlo policy prominently incorpor?t -
WY <*d into law that was not of Democrat
' ic origin.
Wild Democratic applause greeted
Mr. Cockran when he remarked that
Hie policies of Jefferson, adopted lo
avoid war willi Fiance, had boen ap
plied by the Republicans to "ibo con
quests ol' the Philippines and the
purchase ol' men.'" Ile compared the
Philllpinc acquisition willi the Louis
iana purchase, "one glorious posses
sion of Our country," and sahl the
A . Republicans Were seasick ol' Hie Phil
fl } lippine bargain ile;.' would be WU
ling to binnie Providence for il.
Ile asked if the M ll li loctrine
was of Republican origin,. U was.
not, and yet, lie added, it frequent
ly had been Involved hy I hem.
Mr. Cockran spoke ol' Ibo civil war
and said ?hal while ?I was true Re
publicans led Hu i nion force.-.. Dem
ocratic patriots manned the army.
"The message which Ibo President
sent here I'Thlny raised a question
(hal gO?S <o the very existence of
(he growth (d' civil government," lie
said.
.'After we pass the portion con
faining complaints we come lo the
part where we all applauded, an 1 that

(?) 'If th oro be any forces outside of
our penitentiaries who would pre
vent the enforcement of such action
Wioy themselves assert that rotten
?ess ls tho foundation of our pros
ptftity."
Denounces Dishonest Officials.
Mr, Cockran denounced bank pres
idents and corporation ollloiuls who
had boon guilty of Illegal acts. In
speaking of the recent Quanda! crisis
bo said lt bas been caused by suc
cessful revelations of depravity i ;
high places in the financial world
Tho whole thing, he declared, groi
our ol' a quarrel of the plunderers ol
lusuurnce companies over the dis
tribution Of tho Spoils. So dee],ly
did tho publie conscience become ap

pacities had exhausted tho supply
and thero was nothing left lo steal,
did not even surrender control of tho
corporal ions they had wronged. Thoy
do not." lie continued, "flee from Jus
lice, fearing its sword, but they go
Into a Court of justice, and ohoy its
prot od ion."
Regarding recent bank failures in
New Yoik, Mr, Cockran said that, not
one of them failed through error of
judgment, but through crime. Ho
charged that the ohieoi'S who were
being pursued before grand julies
and Criminal Courts actually had sot
themselves to work to raise funds to
reopen tho concerns and induce de
positors to sanction delay in the pay
ment of their money.
"It had boon asked," continued
Mr. Cockran, "why don't tho
President prosecute the gen
tlemen? Rut," he said, bo noticed,
"it was always propounded by those
who, if they thought there was any
danger of prosecution, would not en
gage in public, discussions or be
quoted In the newspapers, hut bo
quietly seeking steamship tickets to
foreign lands." He did not. believe
tho Pr?sident yet had exhausted all
ids powers, but, ho soid, ' i do say
this message shows he appreciates
his duty.
Inspired Proclamai lon.
Tile message was, Mr. Cockran de
clared, an Inspired proclamation to
tho American people.
Mr. Cockran discussed tho judi
ciary and sahl ho noticed in his own
State Federal and State .Judges leav
ing tho Roach to accept professional
employment hy corporations. It was
no wonder, therefore, he said, thal
public conscience should be alarmed,
ile spoke of tho President's love of
just ice and said it had boon charged
that tho President, was indiscreet,
"Can it bo taken as a reproach
against any public servant?" he add
ed, ''thal his love of justice is so
strong that, il does not comport With
the interests of the pooplo?" lie
Hied.
Novel' before in Ibo history of the
country, lie bald, "bad a President
Killi in olhee, ii,,, subject of Hie bit
terest attacks, been aide, while si ii
in o ill co, to practically lix the condi
tions upon Which Hie patties will coil

Referring to Mr. lit yan Mr. Cock
ran said: "Wo have a Democratic
Crusader as to whom there is some
doubt as lo wholhor he is not too
strenuous. I opposed him in the
past. 1 might still oppose bini, but
I believe ibis message has outlined
lin! conditions under which lie be
comes the fore-ordalnod champion
of law and order.''
Mr. Cockran said that if ll ryan de
cl a red himself the champion of tho
principles which were directly and
indirectly embodied in tho Presi
dent's bibssago, "if I"' represents j.he
deferinination to proscenio malefac
tors for their climes, and il a vig

result in congesting ibo Criminal

A thrilling account of tho ship

Woormann, winch recently wont on

and became n total wreck, is related
by tho sailors of the steamer, who
have arrived at Hamburg, Germany,
Tho night tho steamer struck was
a dark one and she seined to bo go

to tho boats and immediately thou
sands of piratical negroes in canoes,
who had not replied to tho signals of
distress from the stranded vessel,
surrounded tho steamer, swarmed
aboard and plundered her.
When the Boamen attempted to re
turn in order to obtain provisions and
arms the attitude ol the negroes be
came so threatening that it was Im
possible for them to do so.
They feared to land on (he hostile
?toast in tho darkness and were com
pelled to stay In tho small boats
throughout the night. W hen morn
ing came the crew landed and camp
ed in tho brush for several days, al
ways fearful of an attack.
Meanwhile they watched the ne
groes going to the ship and return

Finally tho vessel disappeared. Af

WHY COOKS .MIK SOAKCK.
They t an .Make Moro Money Selling

A prominent ciliy.cn of Lancaster
says his cook, a colored woman told

so difficult to Kel is because negroes
aro making more money sidling
liquor than they can possibly earn
by workng for the white people. The
Lancaster News Bays "if there is any
