IN A LATE MESSAGE.
Rourke Cockran Defends tho Domo?
eratic Porty, Praises President
Roosevelt for His Message, Which
Ho Says Outlines the Conditions
Under Which Heyan Decoraos tho
Ordained Champion.
During tho consideration of tho
Indian appropriation hill in tho
House Mr. Townsend, ol' Michigan,
delivered a speech tn which ho re
hearsed thc history of Republican
legislation, which, ho said, ho did for
the purpose of "disputing the unwar
ranted claims of our Democratic
brethren."
Ho was not, ho said, defending
tho prosont Administration. "It needs
no defence with the American peo
ple," he said. "Its record will Ilu
mino tho pagos of United Slab's his
tory and mark an epoch In popular
government." Ile declared that the
student of the future, would point lo
if. as "tho period when the people
carno into tho possession of their own
by establishing by facts tho theories
of a Republic., whereby Federal law
is onaotcd for no class or financial
condition, but for all tho people."
Ho said that Ibo legislation of the
last two Congresses had been charg
ed with producing Ibo Into financial
disturbance, and ho undertook to
refuto tho charge as untrue. He re
ferred especially to tho railroad leg
islation and said that Democratic pol
iticians, tindag that the legslatlon
was good, desired to adopt it to
themselves as n political asset in fu
ture campaigns.
Declaring fault finding to be the
largest part of the capital of the
Democrats, ho declared "the Demo
cratic party has a nose for carrion,
it can scent corruption at very long
range, but it bas no relined distinc
tion as to tho hind.'' Kvcry little
while, bc suki, ho heard or read of
KO mn Democrat saying that, tho rate
bill, the anti trust law and the en
forcement of them were ol Democrat
lc origin! that Republicans bad stol
"n Democratic thunder; I hat I'resi
10
Democratic party may come Lu cou >?
Diem by righi O? posossion under the
Statute of limitation:."
Mr. Townsend denied (hal th?' rate
law and the principles ii represented
W?l'O of Democratic origin Ol' con
ception, and he inquired it Hie Pres
ident had departed from Republican
policies which il had advocated. Ile
Iben discussed aitti-trusl legi:dation,
and compared tho action under the
Cleveland administration and under
the Roosevelt ndinitiist rall?n, As
compared with Cleveland's adminis
tration bc said there had been under
the Roosevelt ad III in ist ral i(Oi lour
times ns many bills in equity bled,
nine linus as many indictments
lound ami seven times ns many con
viciions, with Ii|ll0 ind id meiits cases
.still pending, Aiiti-trusi law, ho
?.'lid, was not of Democratic origin,
and its enforcement was not to Dem
ocratic credit.
Cock mn Answers Townsend.
Upi re.dilative Mo ni Ko Cochran, ol'
New York, Democrat, dented tho ac
curacy of Mr. Townsend's statement,
stud said thai since the beginning pf
the Republic then had hoi I.n a
?ingle polir.)' prominent ly incorporat
ed into law that was liol of Democrat
ic' origin.
Wild Democratic applhtiSo greeted
Mr. Cockran' when bc remarked that
the policies of Jefferson, adopted to
avoid war Wi i h Fraileo, had been ap
plied hy thc Republicans lo "thc con
itiiesls bf tho Philippines abd thc
purchase of men. " He. compared ihr
I'hillipine ncipiisil ion w illi tho Louis
iana purchase, .'one glorious posses
sion of our country," and said thc
Republicans were seasick bf tho Phil
llppiho bargu in they would bo wil
ling to blaine Providence for it.
Ile asked if the M .: loci ri lie
was of Republican origin. lt was
not, and yet, he added, il frequent
ly had been Involved by I bom,
Mr. Cockran spoke of tho civil war
ami said Illili \\ bile il was' i ni? Ito
publicans I'd HM Union forces., Dem
ocratic patriots manned (bo army.
"The message which I be Presiden!
sent here Friday raised a question
(hal goes lo the very existence of
the growth of civil government'," lie
said.
"Afli r wo pass I li? port lon eon
taming complaints we come lo the
part where wo nil applauded, an l that
was the paragraph relating to charges
that business distress wns brough!
on by thc Ooverhment, and tito parn
graph saying that the knife should
bo freely uiiod In cutting out rotten
ness."
"If thore be any forces outside of
our penitentiaries who would pre
vent the enforcement Of such action
Wi ey themselves assert Hud rotten
ness ls tho foundation Of our pros,
portly."
Denounces Dishonest Oflicluls.
Mr. Cockran denounced bunk pres
idents and corporation oillclals who
lind boon guilty of Illegal acts. In
speaking of tho recent Quanda! crisis
ho said lt has boon causod by suc
cessful revelations of depravity i i
high places in Hie financial world
Tho whole thing, he declared, grew
our of a quarrel of tho plunderers ol
lusuarnce companies ovor tho dis
tribution of tho spoils. So doeply
did tho public conscienco beconio ap
palled, ho said, by tho spectacle of un
punished crlmo tnat novor before did
Instead of certain corporation beads
hoing sufforod to do house donning
lu tho corporations they lind pillaged,
they ought to bo sont to do somo
cloaning in tho penitentiary. These
gontlomon," ho said, "when their ra
pacities had exhausted tho supply
and there was nothing left to stoal,
did not even surrender control of the
corporations they had wronged They
do not." he continued, "?leo from Jus
tice, fearing its sword, but they go
into a Court of justice and obey its
protect ion."
Regarding recent bank failures in
New York, Mr. Cockran said that not
ono of thom failed through error of
judgment, but through ?.rime. Ile
charged (hat tho olllcors who wore
hoing pursued before grand juries
and Criminal Courts actually had sol
themselves to work to raise funds to
reopen tho concerns and induce de
positors to sanction delay in tho pay
ment of their money.
"lt had been asked,"' continued
Mr. Cockran, "why dont the
President proscenio the gen
tlemen? Rut," he said, he noticed,
"it was always propounded by those
who. if (hey thought there was any
danger of prosecution, would not 011
gago in public, discussions or IK;
quoted in Hie newspapers, but be
quietly seeking steamship tickets to
foreign lands." He did not believe
thi! President yet. had exhausted all
his powers, but, ho sold, ' J do say
this message shows he appreciates
his duly.
Inspired Proclamai ion.
The message was, Mr. Cockran de
clared, an inspired proclamation lo
the American people.
Mr. Cockran discussed thc judi
ciary and said ho noticed in his own
State Federal and Slate Judges leav
ing Hie Renell to accept professional
iinployinent by corporations. It. was
no wonder, therefore, ho said, that
pit bite conscience should bo alarmed.
Ile spoke of the President's love of
inst ice ?md said it had been charged
(hal. tin; President, was indiscreet.
"Can it be taken as a reproach
Against any public servant ?" he add
>d, "Illili his love of justice is so
Iron.: thal it doc;; not comport willi
lite interests of the people? ' 1 li
lied.
Never 1)0fore in tho history of thc
ounlry, ho said, "had a President
'ill in eriloo, tho subject of tho bit
terest attacks, been able, while stu
in office, lo practically lix tho condi
tions upon which 'h.- parlies will con
i omi."
Referring io .\ir. Itryan Mr. < nek
ran said: "Wo have a Democratic
Crusader as to whom there is some
doubt as lo Whether Ito is not too
strenuous. I Opposed him in Ute
past. I might still oppose him, but

A thrilling account of tho Ship
wreck of tho Woormunn llnor Asco in

and became n total wreck, is related
by tho sailors of the steamer, who
havo arrived at Hamburg, Germany,
Tho night tho steamer Btruck was
a dark one and oho semod to bo go
ing to pieces rapidly. Tho crew took
to tho boats and immediately thou
sands of piratical negroes in canoes,
who had not ropliod to tho signals of
distress from the stranded vessel,
surrounded tho steamer, swarmed
aboard and plundored her.
When the seamen attempted to re
turn in order to obtain provisions and
arms the attitude of the negroes be
came so threatening Huit it was Im
possible for I hem to do so.
Tiley feared to land on Hie hostile
coast in the darkness and were com
pelled lo stay in the small boats

ing caine Hie crew landed and camp
ed in Hie brush for several days, al
ways fearful of an attack,
Meanwhile they waddled (he ne
groes going to tho ship and return

Finally the vessel disappeared. Af
ter ibis the negroes departed and
the crew, taking to their boats, again,
rowed for I 7 hours and were picked

WHY COOKS AUK SHA HC H.
They Can Make More Money Selling
Whiskey iban Working.
A prominent citi/.eii ol' 1,ancestor
says his cook, a colored woman told
him that the reason why servants are
so difficult to gel is because negroes
aro making moro money selling
liquor than they can possibly earn
by workng for the while people. The
Lancaster News says "if lhere is any
ruth in the report, it is an unpleasant
commentary on the manner in which
our prohibition laws aro being en
forced. Ni> liquor can be legally
sold in this community or county un
der existing laws, and if there ar?'
persons, whether wide or black, en
gaged in the nefarious business of
running blind tigers they should bo

Ono of Them Soys Some Very Hard
Things About the South Carolina
I toss.
In tho Columbia Stato H. few duys
ago thero appeared an interview by
that paper's very able Washington
correspondent with Capt. John o.
Capors relating to the recent Repub
lican meeting at Mishaw Kille Hall
In Charleston. In that interview the
captain reforrod to Aaron Prioleau,
Who spends one-half of lils lime try
ing to get a seat in Congress and thc
other half in trying to keep out or
tho penitentiary, as a "heinous bab
oon.' This has stired Ihe ire of tho
colored bro til ron and some of them
are talking right out in meeting.
in talking to a Reporter of Tho
News and Courier S. H. Huller, of
Colinton County, who is chairman of
tho First. Congressional District, said:
"I Was in tim Postolllco, in this city,
and resigned because I was not go
ing to be bossed by tho Cost master.
That's tho wny Capors is going to
find it. He is going lo lind a big lot
of niggers kicking over thc traces
before lie gets a chance to sell us
out. A nigger ain't got no sense no
how. Look at. the. white men holding
good Government jobs and tho nig
gers ain't geftin' a thing. ('rum's
got un o(ilco willi but little money to
it. Deas, lie had a job, but they put
Ililli out. He makes money in other
ways, however, lou Capers is going
to got rich off us niggers. W hen dis
trict attorney lie made money out of
the liquor mon, and now he's going
to mako money out of Hie niggers,
and some of us who profess to be
so smart ain't gol sense enough lo
soo it."
It. C. Drown, who was one of the
speakers at Mishaw Hall, in talking
with a D?porter of The Nows and
Courier, speaks of thc Capers Inter
view as follows:
"Before referring lo certain parts
of the interview, I want to say some
