Texan Makes His Last Speech and
Several People Came All the
Way From Southern State
to Hear Him.
BITTER DENUNc1ATIoN
Was Brilliantly Enthusiastic on Hla
Favorlte Theme Of the constitu-
tion and Spoke to tho
Country at Large.

[United Press Leased Wire Service.f
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Senator
Joseph w. Bailey, of Texas sang his
swan song" in the senate today
bitter denunciation Of the initiative
and referendum as 'repungant to the
principles upon which the American
republic is founded"
The Texas senator, long famed as
one OF the greatest orators in public
life, planned to make this the last set
speech Of his acnatorial career. His
formal resignation will probably short
ly be submitted to Governor Colquitt
before the expiration Of his term ON
March 4.
Crowded galleries heard Joe" Ball
ey. A little group in the reserved gal
lery came all the way from the Lone
Star state to hear their favorite--
headed by Uncle John" Stevens, Bail
/, ey's staunchest supporter In his state
political battles.
The Texas senator was brilliantly
enthusiastic on his favorite theme
| the constitution. He prefaced his
speech by saying that this was the
first time in his Fl years Of service In
| two houses Of congress that he had
addressed himself rather to the coun-
1 ltry-at-large than to the senate itself
4 Direct government, Bailey declared
/ was never contemplated by the faith
ers of the nation and the government
i outlined by the convention Of 1857,
i he declared, was better than any
j which could be established with the
4 initiative and referendum.
"In the convention which framed
our constitution he said, some dele
gates believed that a limited mon
archy was the best government which
4 the wisdom of men could devise and
j the greatest intellect in that memoir
able body was one of their number;
other delegates believed in an aristoc
racy and among them were men Of ex-
alted character and unselfish patriot
ism; still other delegates-and re-
joice to say they composed an over
4 whelming majority-belieyed in repre-
sentative democracy; but among all
of those illustrious patriots and states
men there was not one who contended
4 for direct democracy. Hamilton was
we'll within the truth when he declar-
h ed that the members most tenacious
Of republicanism were as loud as any
4 in declaring against the vices OF
democracy.
ApoIogizing to the senate for his
reading of lengthy quotations from
the letters and speeches of the faith
ers" of the constitution, Senator Bail
ey explained: 81 am striving to reach
those outside the senate chamber, and
as many Of them have been trained
4 by the yellow journals to doubt what
ever may,vsay. feel constrained to
read into tk ord the conclusive
evidence that with full knowledge
of the different kinds of government
given them, our fathers rejected a
monarchy; rejected an aristocracy:
rejected direct democracy and wise
ly chose a representative democracy,
which they called a republic"
Madison" he said. was not only
wise enough to understand that this
conflict would come, but he was also
wise enough to know that no free gov
ernment could ever eradicate its
causes."

END LIFE OF
PIGGIE AFTER
LIVELY CHASE

There was a pig chase in the vi

today that put into the shade any
regularly scheduled CREASED pig
chase ever held in Wilmington.
Although the porker weighed only
about twenty pounds il could run
some 1t was brought all the way
from the extreme southwestern por-
ton of the city by Thomas Ellwood,
better known as "Wnitey," to VIII
liam J. Hollands saloon at Fourth
and Monroe streets, Mr.. Holland hav-
ing decided to have roast pig lunch
at his place of business tomorrow
night The pig was in a bag and
EllwOod put it down on the barroom
floor going down into the cellar to
get a box to put the animal in.
The pig managed to work its way
out of the bag and just as George
Boys, the iceman, opened the saloon
door to bring in bucket of cracked
ice, the porker sailed between Boys
legs and disappeared through the
doorway Ellwood was summoned and
with several others started in pur-
suit of the pig. The animal ran along
Monroe street to Sixth, down Sixth
to Madison, and thence to Fourth
street Two or three times Ellwood
fell on the little porker and thought
he had it safe, but each time the pig
would wiggle out from under him and
indulge i'm another burst of speed
Finally Ellwood grabbed the ami
NAL and held it safe Mr Holland
concluded to take no more chances
and sent the porker to John .ierman,
butcher in Fifth street, and its end
soon followed.
