LAUDS TEDDY For the Brave Stand He Has Tak en For the People. 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 vas the paragraph roi uti tig to chai'g?fi ihat business distress was bro II gb I on by the Government, and Ibo liara graph saying that the knife should be freely used in cut tin;; ont rotten ness." (?) '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 palled, ho said, by tho spectacle of un punished crlmo that never before did Instead of certain corporation heads being sufforod to do house deaning In tho corporations they had pillaged, thoy ought to bo sont to do some cleaning In tho penitentiary. These gontlomon," bo said, "when their ra 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 .??nd." 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 orous enforcement Of the law should result in congesting ibo Criminal Courts, then the plunderers of mi! Hons will lu- given precedence in Hie pnthw?y to prison over the pi If oren of pennies." SUNT TO PRISON. Rc Trust Men Failed io I lave Ver dict Set Aside.

A thrilling account of tho ship wreck of tho Woormann liner A sea m I Woormann, winch recently wont on ila: rocks of Grand Kassa, labona, 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 ing to pieces rapidly. The crew took 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.

Meanwhile they watched the ne groes going to the ship and return ing from her laden with booty. Finally tho vessel disappeared. Af ter this the negroes departed and tho crow, taking lu their boats, again, rowed for 1 7 hours and were picked ii)), completely exhausted, by a pass ing steamer off Moori via. WHY COOKS .MIK SOAKCK. They t an .Make Moro Money Selling Whiskey Than Working. A prominent ciliy.cn of Lancaster says his cook, a colored woman told bim that the reason why servants are 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 ruth In the report, ii is an unpleasant commentary on the manner in which our prohibition laws aro being en forced.
