 Other Appropriation Bills.

Washington, Feb. 25.-During the consideration of the sundry civil bill in the house, Mir Bennett's amend ment striking out the provision limit ing the field of operation of the se- cret service was rejected by fl to 15.
 A similar paragraph in the last appropriation bill is what gave rise to the presidents criticism of con- gressmen. Mir. Bennett strongly de- tended the secret service detectives. MT. Smith (republican, Iowa) replied that one of the requisites of the de- tective was that he should be a common liar"
 Respectable men, he said, would take their places as pOstoffice in spectors and as special agents of the interior department, although occa- sionally they might have to do some detective work, but, he asserted, that the idea that some three or four dollar-a-day man who is willing to be detective can familiarize himself with all the laws and, therefore, be- come more useful than a specialist, Is simply absurd"
 'The only president assassinated since the secret service men were de- tailed to watch the president" said Mir. Smith, was President Mckinley, who was shot down at Buffalo with a secret service man by his side, who was unable to observe the approaching murderer, with his bandaged hand The man did not even capture the murderer"
 Ir l.A also discussed the provision and re- ferred to the president as follows: Tt is unfortunate, not only for Presi- dent Roosevelt, but for the country, that he has not a legal mind and no equipoise of reason, riding through and around the arena of political ac- tion on his bronco of arrogant, ego tistical impulse, pretending to throw his lariat of execution at the heels and broad horns of capital for the delectation of voting labor, and end- ing the scene with the cunning catch of prairie wolves and gophers."
 Mir Cook declared that "in all this fuss and feathers, the whole adminis- tration, the president and his pliant attorney general, have not sent a single plutocrat to the penitentiary."
 Such a keen political speculator and political financial strenuosity," he said, has never been seen before in this republic, and let us fervently hope that his like shall never be seen again. Look at the paragraphs of his rattled messages, and you will be startled to see and read the insinua-- tions and abusive phrases against the legislative and judicial departments of the government"
 President Roosevelt" he continued, seems to think he is the govern ment, and that his ipse dixit must rule everybody. He runs the govern ment on the same principle that the beef trust runs a sausage factory. from a personal standpoint, using the executive and judicial pork to ad- vance his frantic administration.
 While initiating Rienzi and Crom- we'll in fooling the people he is prac- ticing the hypocrisy and dictatorship of Cleon and Dionysius, and has built up a Roosevelt army, navy and civil service, all for his personal and po- litical glory; supreme in his impu- dence and vanity, arrogance and im- perial egotism.
 HIS Nelo meSSdBeS are made rom the impulsive and ignorant informa- tion of his cabinet clerks and the vacillating attorney general is a weak legal reed, who even recently gave a false statement to the president upon the joint resolution passed by con- gress determining the question of the boundary line between the states of Colorado and Oklahoma and the ter ritory of New Mexico"
 So denunciatory of the president was MT. Cook that he was denied the privilege of continuing his remarks.
