RAISES
CAMPAIGN CRY
New York Congressman Tries to
Discredit Administration by
Fishing Inquiry.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington. April 27.-The demo-
Gratis made a desperate effort yester-
day, to start an investigation by con-
gress that would run thru the cam
paign and afford the channel thru
which to keep up a fire on the repub-
lican administrations.
Bourke Cochran offered a resolution
for the investigation of alleged charges
against himself and presented it as a
question of the highest privilege.
The speaker declined to rule on the
resolution until he had examined the
precedents.
The resolution will be ruled out of
order as not privileged because there
has been no criminal charge preferred
against Cockran. Besides the prece-
dents show that the house has time
and again refused to permit investiga-
ton of charges against members Of
acts committed before election.
Speaker Cannon to-day ruled that
the Cochran resolution for an investi-
cation Of the Dazelle charge that
Cochran had campaigned for McKin-
ley for hire" in 1895 was not a priv
LEGGED matter.
Mr.. Williams (Miss.) appealed from
the decision Of the chair and Mr..
Payne moved to lay the appeal on the
table. Upon this the yeas and nays
were ordered.

BISHOP DENIES RACE
WAR WORRIES SOUTH
New York Sun Special Service.

Birmingham, Ala, April 27.-"The
South and the Negro" was the subject
Of an address delivered here by Bishop
Charles B. Galloway, who is one Of the
most distinguished clergymen in the
south. In the course Of his address
the bishop said:
I'm the south there never will be
any social m1ngling of the races. They
will worship in separate churches and
be educated in separate schools. This
is alike desired by both races and is
for the good of each.
THE political power Of this section
will remain in present hands. The
great body Of the negroes are here to
stay. Their coerced colonization
would be crime, and their deporta-
ton a physical impossibility. And the
white people are less anxious for them
to go than they are to leave. They
are natives and not intruders."

w. =. Harris read paper last night
before the Six O'Clock club in which
he made an exhaustive review Of the
present tax system as the foundation
for illustrating the need Of certain re-
forms, particularly as to the powers and
methods of the state board of equaliza-

desirable features connected with the
powers granted to the board:
It can nullify the returns of the local
boards of review, practically making
their work a farce.
Its statutory power, by act of 1897,
to increase any individual return and
inability to reduce it, gives autocratic
power to add to an assessment, but not
to remedy a grievance, even were the
board convinced the assessment was in
equitable. r.. E@<
The board being made up of mem
reference to the amount Of valuation
and resultant tax, violates an Ameri

The board is the ultimate determines
of local taxation, while fourteen
