In anticipation of Mr. Cockran’s, mpeach almost every seat on the floor was occupied and the galleries were filled to overflowing. Cockran held hls eudlience throughout, erd his remerks frequently were punctuated with lou applause from both sides of the cham- ber. He characterized the Presid nterpretation of the law as mockery and a play of ¥ ollow | ,” and | y the man who wrate it, as shown by the order| itself. Fe declared that Coengress, on account of its pusillanimous failure to | do its duty to itself, had lost caste—/| 80 much =0 that the newspapers of the | country outside of Washington now print only a paragraph o two of iis vroceedings. The zction of the Pres dent, he sald, had been justified by the | Secretary of the Interior by the pre- cedent of CGrover Cleveland. But if that be so, then in God's name let us condemn that act of Cleveland’s vehemently as the act of any Repu can President.” The disposition justify evc to thing “because Cleveland did it.” he seid, was the highest com- | | pliment that could be pald to a man| : but the confidence which enjoys, he asserted, only | danger of the act, and does by Congre: Cleveland adds to the not lessen it PRESIDENT. SUPPORT THE The President and Secratary of the Interior found warm supporters in; Dalzell, Grosvenor, Gibson, Calderhead, Lacey and Hepburn. The first named maintained that it made no difference how many millions of dollars were in- volved in the President’s order, because the Secretary of the Interior d rib- uted the ne oted by Congr pur- suant to the ru'les of evidence estab- lished by the Pension Bureau. Grosvenor believed that the country and th= old soldiers would approve the and, that the money necessary for putting it into effect would be in- cluded in the forthcoming deficiency bill. The debate occurred on a resolution introduced by Cockran directing the Committee on the Judiciary to investi- gate the recent pension order. It had been reported from the Committee on Rules with a recommendation that it lie on the table, and this was adopted by the narrow ity of three votes— the Speaker having vote recorded in the mative. Three Republicans— Messre. Cushman of Washington, Lit- tlefield of Maine and McCall of Massa- with th Democrats against tabling the resolution. COCKRAN IS APPLAUDED. When Cockran began speaking he was warmly applauded and he at once ommanded the closest attention members of both sides of the House He said the resolution was offered sole- ly to vindicate the dignity of the House He did not, he said, question the proprie aving liberal pen but he d »f these payments should be the laws of Congress and * t any elf-conrstituted authority.” If, he said the President’s order is recognized by the House, “what fragment of power is | left to tne Hous: By one stroke of the pen, he declared, | the President had appropriated $6,00 €00, and he said it w matter with | which Congress must deal if it has any regard for its own pow if it animated by a shadow of loyalty for | that the basis s or be the constitution which created it. He v ously asserted that we are here | at the parting of thé ways,” and in- | quired that if this order be tol ated without protest by the House, “what | power is there that the executive order { cannot usurp? What fragment of con- | trol over the country’s purse?” i Continuirg, he said that this pretense of interpretation of the law is but hollaw mockery and play of words, and | added “it is known by the man who | wrote it, as is shown by the order it- | After attacking what he declared m} be the President’s usurpation of power | of interpretation, in which he said that | the order should not be Cockran appealed to members on both | sides to “consider the enormity of this proposal,” which he said affected the | liberty and safety of the Government. | In his opinion the steady decline in the dignity of the House had attracted | much attention. DIGNITY OF THE HOUSE. In sarcastic vein he declared that thvl President allowed Congress the pri lege of declaring war, and he was loudly applauded by the Democrats | when he added, “but the President makes war when he chooses.” If this condition was hopeless, he said, amid more Democratic applause, “if we cannot rescue ourselves from the degradation and decrepitude into which we seem to be hurrying, then we better leave the condition to be la- | no: al retroactive, | ; to Submitto Exacutive Orderl mented rather than to be discussed.” Tears, he said, belonged to women | for conditions which were helpless,.| while discussion belonged to men. The | dignity and power of the House, he| maintained, were within the control of | its own members, “and,” he said, “it] needs buf loyalty on our part to restore | us not merely to an impertant, but to | a dominant position.” ‘ The Congress, he declared, had 80, lost caste that to-day there was not a | ! paper outside of Washington that gave | more than one or two paragraphs about its proceedings. In stentorian! tones he demanded to know “why has this decline come upon us? Why has this de¢ tude overtaken us?" ' Continuing, he inquired if it were| possible that the House must confess now that its last intrenchment has been made “by a subordinate execu- tive officer,” and said that the con- tempt which had been extended to the House and the violation of its rights constituted the measure of respect, at- tention and submission which it de- served. an outburst of Demo- cratic e ., he declared that when Amid |can army and navy.

He dwelt at length on the inalienable right of the House to or ite revenue bills, and urged the bers to assert that right. He attacked the rules of the House and said that if the members were not to be trusted “we ought to be abol- ished.” ATTACKS RULEF OF HOUSE. He further attacked the rules of the House, which, he said, forced members | to rise and disctiss questions having no reference to the bill under considera- tion, “thus reducing the whole proceed- | inz to the level of opera b®uffe.” teverting to the President's order, Cockran contended that the Secretary of the Interior justified the action upon of President Cleveland. he said, pacing up and down the center aisle, “if that be so, then in God's name let us condemn that act of Mr. Cleveland’s as vehe- | mently as the act of any Republican dent. The disposition to justify st everything by pleading that ‘Mr. Cleveland did it’ is the highest of compliments that can be paid to a man by any Congress in our political his- tory. Continuing, he said: Mr. Cleveland did it, must be regular. If this act was com- mitted by Mr. Cleveland the confi- which he enjoys adds to its dan- ger and does not lessen it.” He closed, amid a storm of applause, by appealing to both sides of the House to unite on a declaration of rights “beyend which the aggression of the Senate or of the executive shall | not go.” | Cockran took his seat he was unded by members of both par- ties, who warmly congratulated him, | and it was some time before order was restored.

It had, | said, taken Cockran eleven years to | discover that there was an invasion | of the archives of the House. Con-! cerning the pension order, Dalzeil maintained that it did not make any | difference how many millions were in-| volved by the order. Congress, he| said, turned over to the Secretary of the Interior a lump sum for pensions | based upon the Secretary's estimates, to be distributed under the law and pursuant to the rules of evidence of | the board by the Pension Bureau,i Therefore, he argued, the amount of | money involved cut no figure in the| resolution under discussion.
