TILLMAN ON ROOSEVELT. President's Encroachment Upon Le islative Power Them of South Carolina Senator. <? With a caution unusual for hij Senator lillman 011 Wednesday rci a part oi. his speech in the senate, which lie denounced executive e croachmcnt on legislative power. Wi this apparent caution he proceeded deliver one of the most direct and d nuneiatory addresses ever heard tnat body, lie was g'lven a caret hoaring. Il'ii> speech was based on li resolution instructing the committ on finance to inquire whether nation banks of New^York are in the h?h of furnishing permanent capital f< speculative enterprises, etc. The res lution was adopted. Mr. J ill man traced what he ternu a "sAvinging of (lie pendulum" fro the regime of Andrew Johnson, win congress assumed control almost the exclu ion of t!i(. proident fro legislative influence, (d (ho admini I rations which followed, which, 1 declared witnessed a growth of pre? dential po.wers. The dominating* ii fluencc and control of the excoutr branch ever the legislative and in less degree over the. judicial branch* of the government were the mo marked features of Hie American p litics at this time. "It has taken, said Mr. Tillman "just forty-oi yea.rs for the pendulum to swir from one extreme to the other.'' "Now," he said, "the house < representatives has degenerate ini lit tile more than a recording nvachii to do the will of the speaker and h lieutenants." Freedom of debate : the old and true sense has disa] peared from the other end of the ca itol. he added. Tn the senate "so vilitv and cowardice are the order ( the day," the declared, "and 11 shadow- of the executive hangs ov< all and the president's wishes are ?i most the only law. "There is," he added, "some sho of resistance on matters affecting tl mull i-imillionarics and the great co porations. The president, writ scolding messages and makes inflai tmatory speeches a pealing to the u thinking and ignorant masses, lie hi the potent influence of the press , his command; he has used the new papers and magazines in exploitii what he calls 'my polities' with skill and daring that compel admir tion. With bated breath senators d n on nee his radical, ideas in priva< and oppose in every possible way tl measures which he clamors for bv tl resistance of nonaction. No one i the dominant p'arty (Tares lift li voice in opposition or denunciatio but lire executive influence is II only influence in evidence, while li senalo cowers in silent resistance. "The cause of this condition." d dared Mr. Tillman, "is -federal pn ron age.'' Sena.te Afraid of President. "The theory that the senate 11111 'advise and consent' before appoin men Is are made," he said, "is of ii tie or 110 moment when senators sho such want of courage and self-respe and bow submissively to the ord'e from the White House. The me-mbo of the minority party, of course, Ave largely ignored. Appointments the southv where jthe democracy r fains control, are in the hands of 'r ferees' aa'*ho fill the ofTices for the so purpose for maintaining machine The senators of the dominant par: are afraid to resist the cxecutiA'e Avilest they themselves should fail j obtain tire patronage of thcii Stales." They have also, declared, 'dread lest they should be forced inl retirement. When clashes have con between the president and senators c representatives the people haA-e i almost every instance, sided with 11 president, he said. "The people, poor, simple soul reading the special pleas and sophi tical excuses of republican editor are led to think the president aloi is honest and patriotic," said M Tillman. "They believe religiousl that the senate is corrupt and tl M hite TTouse debaucTied and that tl polices?'my. ]io]icies which are f exploited in lire press'?must, prcA'a and.become law before anv relief ca he obtained. Sen a, tors who do n< agree with the executive and who ri fuse to obey his Avill must be retire* Congressmen Avho resist executive di< talion must be replaced by those avIi Avill obey.

"Mr. Koosevell is always loudmouthed and even vehement in tihc proclamation of his own purity of n, purpose and patriotism. He has abul solute faith in his t?wn 'infallibility in and is apparently so (trunk with pow11 er that he unconsciously lapses into th the imperial 'we' and sends cableto grams about 'me and my people.' e- Hut these thing's are of small niomin "ent?'vagaries of a noble and impetuul ous spirit,' and we could pass them is by were it not for the existence ol cc cold-blooded facts to slioiw executive al responsibility for many cf the evils lit which .exist without dispute." Di' Paul Morton, as vice-president ol' o- tdie Santa Fe Hail road, said Mr. Tillman, "in the rebate eases laid 3d himself open to indictment and 1 iam bility lo personal punishment, but tiro ui president peremptorily refused to to permit Messrs. .Judson and Harmon in lo prosecute him." s- Senator Tillman denounced I'resiie dent Roosevelt fur not prosecuting ;i- land grafters, and Senator Beveridge ii- interrupted to say that the only difi'o ferencc between the president and a Senator Tillman wits dial the former 2S prosecutes upon evidence and the latst ter without. Mr. Beveridgvi wanted t<i <>- know why Senator Tillman in his " flood of messages has not covered the ie subject. Mr. Til'lman replied that if tg Mr. Boveridge "wants me to make more criticisms than I have the sena>f tor (from Indiana is a great big glutto ton." lo Discusses Currency "Crisis. ,13 MY. Tillman reviewed the events of 111 the recent cu: . ?nc> crisis and charge.! l)_ Wall street with many misdemeanors. I "The ]>rofits of this nefarious stock r~ ni'onger.ing have," he said, "found ^ their way into the pockets of the very men who with evil results of P1 their fraud manifest pose as 'saviors' and 'and uncrowned kings' and are lauded to the skies -when they were w really trying to save themselves from 13 the disasters which threatened to r~ v.verwhelm them along with their decs luded victims. One of these 'saviors' n~ had done more than any other of the n" money kings to deluge the stock marlls ket with Watered stocks." Referring to recent Conferences in the White House lo consider legisla^ (ion Mr. Tillman asked if the efforts a of the republican party in the sena" .ale had been ignored. |.c " Who is'going to be the spaniel i messenger to bring I ficso bills here?" p demanded the senator. .Mr. Beveridge asked the speaker il j lie would name the radical legislation n he had said the president is sending e to the senaite. lie replied hat he disl)e agreed iwitb the doctrine to permit railroads to pool. Mr. Beveridge asked whether Mr. Tillman favored the ^ labor legislation proposed by the president. "[ shall never yield that one man sj. shall say to anotther that lie shall not I work." declared Mr. Tillman. f_ Mr. Tillman spoke of the acts of ,w John K. Walsh, of Chicago, in conel ncelion with the banks of that city, i*s and c.hided the committee on financc rs because il had not acted favorably on his resolution for an investigation in of the acts oil* Walsh, e- Mr. Aldrich replied that when that e- resolution was considered all transacle lions concerning Walsh were before s. the grand jury in Chicago and since ty that time he liad been indicted and 11, convicted, and he added that the acto tion of the clearing house in Chicago r in respect to Walsh 'banks was, in his opinion, not only justified, but ena tirely legal. lo His Resolution Passed. le -Senator Hopkins declared filial the >r act of the clearing house was partn riotic and just. ic Mr. Aldrich stated that lie would not. oppose the resolution to require s, an itK,u!ry whether the national banks s- of New York are in the habit of furs, nishing permanent capital for spccure lative purposes, and the senate then r. passed the resolution. y 'Senator Beveridge then look the 10 floor and made a spirited defence of ic the president and 'the republican par;o tv, declaring tihai what had been lerm11 ed the subserviency of republican n senators was merely an evidence of )t. harmony between 'he preside.*and b- his parly in congress. 1. Johnson, ho said, had been treated ?- as lie was because he had not the con. o fldence of the people, while 1'resident Roosevelt possessed their entire confidence. ie M r.
