YOU. VI. NO. 5. » PLAN TO SEND A COLONY TO THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. PURPOSES OF THE ORDER STATED. Will Be Known Under the Name of “Social Democracy of America”—Officers of the Order Elected* At a meeting of the directors of the Social Democracy of America at Chi¬ cago Monday night the following offi¬ cers were elected: Eugene V. Debs,chairman;Sylvester Keliher, secretary; James Hogan, vice president; William E. Burns, general organizer. The directors who chose these officers and were themselves elected at the meeting in the afternoon are: E. V. Debs, Sylvester Keliher, James Hogan, William E. Burns and Leroy Goodwin. placed The salary of the officers was at $100 per month. At the afternoon meetingthe consti¬ tution of the social democracy which has been published was formally rati¬ fied and adopted. Mr. Debs explained the aims and purposes of the co-oper¬ ative commonwealth. A colony should be sent to Washington, from which place, he said, an official invitation has been received. After' establishing the colony he would secure control of the politics of the state and to start the co-operative commonwealth. “The first thing we would do after getting control,” he said, “would be to call a special ses¬ sion of the legislature. Then we would call a convention to revise the legislation and get all tho rot out of it. ‘‘We will have control of the taxing power and can tax syndicates aud landshavks out of tho state. Persons shall be taxed according to their means, and shall have according to their needs. AVe will have trusts, nothing hut trusts, in our state, but we will all be in the trust. “The operatives will not work 12 or Li hours a day, but for four or five. Wo will be in the field in 1900 with a party. These men who represent the new life are going to unite as if by magic for the overthrow of commer¬ cialism aud the establishment of the co-operative commonwealth by which iue brotherhood of man will become a fact. I do not know whether the question will be solved peaceably or otherwise, I hope peaceably. But I am one of those who believe in getting ready for any solution that, may be necessary.” the Mr. Debs raid that in setting up co-operative commonwealth in Wash¬ ington, the colonists might be run¬ ning against the supremo court. He would consult good lawyers and learn just what the lights of the colonists wore. “We want to know our rights, and make them the rebels. If they send the military to invade our rights, then there will be an army of 30,000 pat¬ riots on the state line to meet them on that issue.” USED PROMINENT NAMES. A Fraud Scheme Gives Trouble io Cleve¬ land and Others. Circulars of an organization-styling itself the National Cooperative Society of American Art, naming Commis¬ sioner of Education Harris as presi¬ dent, and Apostolic Delegate Marti nelli, Chief Justice Fuller, General Miles, ex-Presidents Cleveland and Harrison, the present cabinet and well-known financiers as advisory di¬ rectors, has given some annoyance to Commissioner Harris, Mr. Cleveland and others.

THE PETITION WITHDRAWN. Macon’. Case Against the Railroad. Mill Now Go To the Oonrta. The Macon petition against railroad consolidation in Georgia has been withdrawn by the attorneys who filed it with Governor Atkinson. The question involved was such a large one that the governor was look¬ ing into it thoroughly, and he had an¬ nounced that he would give a decision at an early day. In making his investi¬ gation Governor would Atkinson proceeded just as he had he been consider¬ ing a petition of any other character. He looked at both sides. He heard from the attorneys who represented the Macon petitioners, and also heard what the railroads had to say on their side of the case. There was no formal hearing or argument, however, but in¬ formal talks. It is thought around the eapitol that the governor was not disposed to direct the sweeping attorney genefal to institute such a suit against the roads as was contemplated by the petition¬ ers, but was more inclined to let the investigation proceed, This would if at all, have against in¬ only one road, volved less indirect material results, but tbe , pvinciple would have been the saige in the end. That is, if it -were shown, that the Southern held one railroad in violation of the constitu¬ tion, it would probably have followed that it held others, but if it did not control the Central or the Georgia Southern and Florida or some other one road the illegally, it probably held none in it state understood, unconstitutionally. This, is did not meet the wish of the attorneys for the peti¬ tioners, and they withdrew their peti¬ tion,announcing that they had decided to inst itute proceedings in -the courts. This is the right which any party at interest has. There aro two methods of procedure against railroad monopo¬ lies in Georgia. One method is for the governor to direct the attorney general to bring suit against the of¬ fending eomi>any, while the other is is for any party at interest to proceed. This latter recourse was provided for by an act which Senator A. O. Bacon had passed when he was in the house five years ago. The senator is one of the counsel for the petitioners from Macon, and his law firm, Baeou, Miller & Brunson, and the other firm, Dessau, Bartlett & Tillis, decided to let their clients proceed under the Bacon act.

Thonaand* Wltnesn the execution and View tlie Corpse Afterward—Tom Trays For His Old Father. Tom Delk was banged at Zebulon, Ga., Friday for the murder of Sheriff Gwynn. Governor Atkinson bad refused a further respite and the law was allowed to take its course. The execution was orderly and no disturbance of any sort occurred. The drop fell at 2:06 o’clock. Delk faced death »r brave as a lion, and his wonderful nerve excited the admiration of even his enemies, Delk died of strangulation and was pronounced dead at 2:22 p.m. The execution was not private, as it was easy for the several thousand of those who surrounded the enclosure to look through the clumsily strung rolls of bagging which shut in the gal¬ lows. Shortly before he died, Tom said: anything “Pa will never hang. Nobody cares for me, but when I’m dead they wili look out for the old man.” He said he wanted to see all the witnesses against his father and make them promise to tell the truth in ease his father was given another trial. On the Scaffold. When ail preparations had been made tho little party on the scaffold knelt, as well as those on the outside, while prayer was offered for the con¬ demned young man and for comfort for the bereaved family. When the prayer was concluded Tom began to pray in a low voice at first, but gradually speaking louder and louder, until those outside the en¬ closure could hear distinctly all that he said. Ho prayed for himself and his family and for his enemies and for all those about him. Then, knowing full well that they were the last words he would ever utter on this earth, he said with a passion of entreaty in his voice: “And, oh God, do Thou take care of my poor, old, innocent father. He has never done no wrong. Help him. Soften the hearts of those against him. He is innocent,as Thou knowest. Make his enemies know it, too. Help him, O God, for Jesus sake. Amen.” Everybody arose, and Tom stepped firmly into the exact center of the square trap-door beneath his feet. Several of the deputy sheriffs produced ropes and began to bind his hands, arms, legs and ankles. They spent fully five minutes in tying him tip, very much the way a grocer would wrap a codfish. They tied ropes around him in all conceivable ways and places, and seemed to enjoy wind¬ ing it around his muscular limbs. When all was in readiness Tom called out: “Goodby, people.” “Goodby, Tom,” answered hun¬ dreds of voices. The drop fell at exactly 2:06, and at 2:22 o’clock Tom was pronounced en¬ tirely dead. A shout had gone up from the crowd when the trap was sprung, and after that there was a great deal of con¬ fusion on the outside of the tall jute fence, but there was no serious dis¬ turbance. The sheriff sent out word that everybody would be given an opportunity later to inspect the corpse, aod this seemed to satisfy the excited mob. The cutting down of the body occu¬ pied considerable time, owing to the quantity of cutting that was neces¬ sary, but it was finally placed in a cof¬ fin, the coffin was placed in a big wooden box, tho big wooden box was placed in a wagon and the wagon was driven rapidly back to the village. Over exactly tho same road that he had passed a few minutes before in the zenith of heatth and strength, Tom wns carried limp, lifeless and dis¬ torted. The body was taken into the court¬ house and there placed on exhibition for the afternoon. Everybody saw it, the crowd coming in at one door in a steady stream and passing out at another.

The silver republicans of the west went to the aid of the democrats in the senate Saturday, and the combina¬ tion was sufficient to make an import¬ ant change in the tariff bill on some features of general interest to the south. The schedules covering jute bagging were strinken from the bill. The effect of this, unless it is reversed later, will he to give the farmers of the south cotton bagging free of duty. The fight, for this wns based on the democratic claim that, the bill should give to the farmers of the south equal consideration with those of the west. If the western farmer was given free biuding twine for his wheat, the south¬ erner should be allowed to buy his cotton bagging in a market not handi¬ capped by a tariff tax. Tlie democrats nil voted for free bagging and the silver republicans voted with them. When the free list is reached these items will, therefore, be placed upon it by the senate. Of course the repub¬ licans may he able to reverse this ac¬ tion when it, comes to the conference between the two house, hut the indi¬ cations now are favorable for bagging on the free list. Another victory over the republicans was secured in the item of mattings of straw or similar material. The repub¬ licans, in response to the demands of the cat-pot makers of Pennsylvania and the linoleum trust, put a tariff on these mattings. The object wns to keep the Japanese mattings out of the American market, or at least to keep them from underselling American car¬ pets and linoleum. There are no American mattings to protect. By practically the same vote as on the bagging paragraph the tariff on mat¬ tings was stricken from the bill. KICK AGAINST TARIFF BILL. Jnpan Remonstrates Now and May event¬ ually Retaliate. The protest made by the Japanese government against the peuding tariff hill is formally embodied in a note re¬ ceived from Minister Torn Hoshi. The note is couched in the most courteous language, hut there is a firmness of tone observable that indi¬ cates the remonstrance may be fol¬ lowed by acts of retaliation if disre¬ garded. apology Tho note begins with an for expressing an opinion that, under ordi¬ nary circumstances might be vegardajl ns trenching upon domestic affairs, but »s justification that important Japanese interests are involved and in the opinion of tho Japanese minister the proposed increased duties will injure the United States no less than Japan 1>y retarding the growth of commercial relations.
