Rourke Cockran Defends tho Demo cratic Party, Praises President K<><>s<>veli tor Hts Message, Which lio Says Outlines tho Conditions Under Which Rrynn Recomes tho Ordained Champion, During tho consideration of tho Indian appropriation hill In tho House Mr. Townsend, of Michigan, ?louvered a speech in which he re hearsed the history of Republican legislation, which, ho said, he did for tho purpose of "disputing tho unwar ranted claims ol' our Democratic bro! bron." Ho was not, he sahl, defending tho prosent Administration. "It. needs no defence with tho American peo ple," ho said. "Its record will ilu mino tho pagos of Pulled States his tory and mark an epoch In popular government." Ho declared that the student of the future would point to it as "tho period when the people came into tho possession of their own by establishing by facts tho theories of a Republic, whereby Federal law is onaeted for no class or financial condition, but for all tho people." Ho said that the legislation of the last two Congresses had been charg ed with producing the Into financial disturbance, and ho undertook to rofute tho charge NS untrue. Ho re ferred especially to the railroad leg islation and said that Democratic pol iticians, liming that tho legslatlon waa good, desired to adopt it to themselves as a political asset in fu turo campaigns. Declaring fault Unding to be the largest part of the capital of the Democrats, he declared "the Demo cratic party has a nose for carrion, it can scent corruption at very long rango, but it. bas no relined distinc tion as to tho hind." Every little while, be said, be heard or read ol nome Democrat saying that tho rate hill, the anti trust law and tho en forcement of them were pf Democrat ic origin; that Republicans bad stol en Democratic thunder; that Presi Domocrnllc parly may come m mai i them by richi of pososslon under the statute of limitations." (V? Mr. Townsend denied thal the rate law and the principles ii represented word of Democratic olivia or con ception, ami he in (pd red If thc Pres ident had departed from Republican policies NV h icti it bad advocated. He Iben discussed ant i-t rust, legislation, ami compared tho action under tho Cleveland administration and under the Roosevelt administration. Au compared with ('loveland's adminis tration ho said Ibero had been under tho Roosevelt ad minist rat ion four limos ns many bills in equity bled, niuo times, as many indictments found and seven times as many con victions, with nine Indictments cases vlill pending. Anti-trust law, he s.,id, was no I ot Democratic origin, ami its enforcement was not to Dem ocratic credit. Cockran Answers Townsend. Representativo I to uric o Cochran, pf Now York, Democrat, denied thc itel curacy of Mr. Townsend's statement, and said thal sim o the beginning of tho Republic then had not I.n a single policy prominently incorporut . ed into law that was not bf Democrat ie origin. Wild Democratic applause greeted Mr. ('od;ran when ho remarked that the poliah s ol' jefferson; adopted to avoid var willi Franco, had been .ap plied by Hie Republicans to "the con quests of the Philippines and the purchase of men. " ile compared (he Philllpine acquisition wilh Hie Louis iana purchase, "one glorious posses sion of our country," and said lin Republicans were seasick bf tho Phil lippi'10 bargain Hov would he wil ling to blame Providence foi it. Ile asked if (he M :: loci ti was of Republican origin. lt w not, ami yet, he added, il frequent ly had been involved liy them. Mr. Cockran spoke ol' the civil war and said ililli while il wa S true Ro publicans led Hu I nion force.-., Dem ocratic patriots manned the army. "The message which the President sent bore Friday raised a (pioslloii thal goes to the very existence ol tho growth ol' civil government," be said. "After we pass Ibo portion eon faining complaints, we come to the liait where we all applauded, rind thal was the paragraph relating to charges thai business distress was brough I on by tho Oovornmeni, and Ibo para graph raying thal (be knife should ho freely used in culling oui l'OttOU noss." (J$ "If (here bc any forces outside of our penitentiaries who would pro rent tho enforcement of such action ?icy themselves assert that, rotten noss is the foundation of our pros portly." Denounces Dishonest (inici?is. Mr. Cockran denounced bunk pres identa und corporation officials who hud boon guilty of Illegal acts. In speaking of the recent Quanda! crisis ho said lt has been caused by suc cessful revelations of depravity i , high places in Hie financial world Tho whole Hiing, he declared, grev. our of a (linn i el of th? plunderers ol insuarneo companies over tho dis tribution of tho spoils. So doeply did tho pu lille conscience becomo ap palled, ho said, by tho spectacle of un punished crime that never before did Instead of curtain corporation hoads being sulTorod to do houuo donning in tho corporations they had pillaged, they ought to bo sont to do some cleaning in tho penitentiary. Those gentlonion," ho said, "when their ra pacities had exhausted tho supply and thero was nothing left to steal, did not oven surrender control of tho corporations they had wronged. Tiley do not." lie continued, "dee from jus tice, fearing Hs sword, but they go into a Court of justice and obey its pro! eel lon." Regarding recent bank failures In Now York, Mr, Cockran said that not one of thom fulled through error of judgment, but through ?aime. Ho charged that tho officers who wem? being pursued before grand juries and Criminal Courts actually had sot themselves to work to raise funds to reopen tho concerns and induce, de positors lo sanction delay in the pay ment of their money. "It had boon asked," continued Mr. Cockran, "why dont tho President proscenio the gen tlemen? Hut." lie said, ho noticed, "it. was always propounded by Hmso Who, if they thought thero was any danger of prosecution, would not en gage In public discussions or be quoted in tho newspapers, but be quietly seeking steamship tickets to foreign lands." Ile did nut believe the President yid had exhausted all his powers, but, ho sold, 'i do say this message shows he appreciates bis duly. Inspired Proclam?t inn. The message was, ?Mr. Cockran de clared, an inspired proclamation to tho American people. Mr. Cockran discussed thc judi ciary and said ho noticed In his own State Redorai and Stale Judges leav ing tho Rcnch to accept, professional employment by corporations. It was no wonder, therefore, ho said, that public conscience should bo alarmed. Ho spoke of tho President's love of justice and said lt bad been charged that the President was indiscreet. "Can it ho taken as a reproach against any public servant .' " he add ed, "that his love of justice ls so strong Hull it does not com perl with the Interests of tho people?'1 Ho . ,? 1 .... !."..,,. t-iyn (.Mill ?lied.

WHY COOKS AUK SOAKCF. They Cnn Make Alore Money Selling Whiskey Than Working. A prominent (dil zen ol' I at nessi er says his cook, a colored woman told him that the reason why servants are so difficult to get is because* negroes aro making more money selling liquor than they can possibly earn by workng for the white people.
