Cochran Runs DalzelI TO Cover.
From the st, Louis Republic,

From the St, Louis Republic
Washington, April 23.-Repre-
sentative Bourke Cochran of New
York today addressed the House
on the general political situation,
referring especially to the trusts,
the tariff and the department
corruption. His address from the
first was fervid, and he had the
close attention of the many mem
bers on the floor, and of the
galleries, which were packed.
Finally, at a climax, Dalzell Of
Pennsylvania, by his sensational
interruption, contributed to a scene
which, for exciting interest, has
not been exceeded for years in
the House.

Hearst and Parker.

Cpl. Mooney, formerly manag.
ing editor of the Commercially
peal, but for the past eighteen
months one of the managing edi.
tors of the New York American,
one of the most progressive and
widest circulated newspapers pub
lished, was in Memphis recently,
after spending two weeks in the
South on vacation.
Concerning the situation in New
York aud the candidacy of Judge
Parker, Mr.. Mooney said:
"Judge Parker's strength de-
ponds on what New York will do.
# New York fails to instruct for
Parker, his campsign dies for the
want of a beginning. If New York
instructs for Parker, the fight will
narrow to contest between him
and Hearst. Hearst has friends
throughout the South, but they
have not the advantage ofth0rough
organization. In my opinion, senti.
ment is growing for Hearst in
Kentucky, because the Goebel
men as a rule have taken up his
cause. There is also % tremendous
Hearst sentiment in Florida"
Mr.. Mooney said that the "main
objection to Mr.. Hearst in the
South grew from certain unsigned
circulars sent out of New York
containing insinuations, misinfor-
nation and calumny.
"Hearst is, to my mind, q re-
markable man. OF course, his
success in the newspaper business
is a matter of common knowledge,
but the secret of his success AZ a
newspaper man is courage in the
expression of his convictions. He
puts into action az far as possible
any oppinion he may have. For in.
stance, he opposed the policy of
the president in the matter of the
Panama canal, but he did not want
the Democracy to have the onus OF
refeating the construction of n
trans,islhmian canal. One night
in the office he came to this con.
clusion aud at once wrote an edi.
torial urging Democrats not to
stand IN the way Of digging can.

is a very rapid thinker. He is the
only man who has made an effective
fight against trusts, His last vic.

"rho railroads entering New
York raised the price of coal 100
per cent. II was during the winter
and great suffering resulted to the
poor. Other newspapers protested

accused the railroads of conspiracy
and cited them before the inter.
state commerce commission. The
presidents of the roads were there,
but they refused To produce certain
evidence IN their books. He up
pealed to the Federal courts, the
interstate commerce commission
being helpless. The lower Federal
court denied Hcarsts petition,

REALTY VALUES STILL HIGHER.
Property In Americus is Ra pidIy En-.
HANGING.

HS@b@h&s
At no period in Americas history
has real estate values beWn upon q
irmer basis or enhanced more rapidly
than within the past year or two. This
fact is fully demonstrated by recent
sales, and the large increase in city tax
returns.
Values are greater by several hun
dred thousand dollars, as shown by the
tax returns.
While the value of farm lands has
advanced very largely, city real estate
has kept the pace, and property vners
in Americus are worth 5000, 900 more
than last year,
Tue sale of the Hudson property
here recently at ST., 900, and that of the

the value of property here. These are
only few of many recent deals.
Residence property throughout the
city is appreciating as we'll, and people
are rapidly buying homes and improv-
ing their property.
