by tho full committee tomorrow night

Chairman Springer said this programme
was nero surmiss. All the committee
had actually done was to aaree to meet.

that final vote on tho bill could then be
taken. Mr.. Walker thereupon moved
that tho committee should not consider
such nm agreement. "Wo have becn turn.

officials. On the other hand Il was claimed
that many so-called workingmen's houses
needed protection ~ much as the shops
and factories. After q lively discussion
the plank - originally drawn was adopted.
Plank 8 was adopted without discussion as
were also plAnks 9 and Z. Plank 8 WAS
amended to include water works aud
adopted. Plank 0 was adopted without
discussion though several delegates asked
to be recorded as voting In the negative.
When tho famous plank 10 came up o
few minutes before o'clock tho tug Of
war was reached. Straser, Of New Jersey,
stated that he proposed to mako tho
author OF that plank declare himself. He
offered ~ an amsudmsnt tho addition Of
words "hy means Of cvnflscation without
compensation" -. Morgan, the author
OF tho plank. seconded tho amendment.
A. McGrath, of Boston, offered o substi-
tule as follows: "rhe abolition of the
monopoly sys,em OF land holding and tho
substituting therefore Of o title Of occu.
pancy and use only"
Barues,of the Cigarmakor's union, raised
point OF order that q similar resolution
had been already adopted by tho fedora.
tion and therci ore could not be considered.
President Gompers ruled against the
point and Barnes appealed from the do.
cision 0f tho chair. Half dosen men
wanted to discuss the appeal but the
president ruled that only tho appellant
and appellee could speak. Barnes dc.
mandcd that tho president vacate the
chair during the discussion, but tho latter
declined. The chair was sustained by o
vote Of 81 to 15. Most Of the delegates
came TO the hall this afternoon with
speeches on plank 10 prepared, and this
fact no doubt did much 70 keep down In.
fiammatory expressions.
Morgan OF Chicago presented chart to
show tho relative number and wealth OF
workingmen, business men. capitalists
and millionaircs. His speech was vigor.

limit had been made, but whom his time

OPINIONS OF LABOR LEADERS

Gompsrs. Mcbride and Others Express
Opinions Of tho ID -cisiou.
DENVER. Dec. 1A.-President Gompers
said regarding the decision OF Judge
Woods in tho Debs case: II think Il Is
contsmptible for any Judge to take from
citizens Of the United States the right of
trial by jury. II Debs 10 guilty OF any
criminal act, jury OF his peers should be
allowed to say %. denounce the action
OF any judge who shows himself 20 eager
to do the bidding of corporations"
Regarding the decision Of Judge Woods,
Patrick Mcbride, secretary Of the United
Mime workers, said: II think the de.
cision 10 an outrage. do not bslisve the
intention Of the law under which the In.
junction was issued was to include labor
organizations. There has been no de-
cision by tho supreme court on the mat
ter. 1t seems to me the court should have
RENTED the penalty. Instead OF that he
has strained the law to reach o decision
and infllcts severe punishment upon the
first man tried for It's violation"
John ]. O'Sullivan Of Boston said: ~
have expected this decision. II now only
remains for us to 500 that Il goes to the
highest tribunal"
A. B. McGrath, Of tho Typographical
union, Boston, said: II think the
methods of the people In power are tend.
ing toward revolution"
Thomas J. Morgan, Of Chicago, said
"The decision, Aside from ito immediate
effect on Debs, il good thing for the
labor movement. 1t shows what may be
expected from Legislatures and courts that
are controlled by capitalists"
William B. Prescott, president of tho
typographical union. said; ~ am very
much opposed to the punishment Of one
man for the acts Of another. believe
the injunction Debs violated was against

Mr.. JnO. II. Poe wishes Us to state in
his behalf that under no consideration
will he, or can he be \ candidate for
mayor, bis businss being such as to pre-
clpde any such idea.
In justice to Mr.. Poe, It may be stated
that in the past he has always responded
when called upon by the public, aud fre-
quentIy to the detrimept Of his own
business. His clear and ripe Judgment
ment and business qualifications have
made him one Of the m9st valued mem
bers Of the school board, as well also Qt
the city council, bat it il not to be OK
pected that be should devote bis eptire
tune to the service of the public, Mr.
Crowley is tho choice Of Mr. Poe for
mayor, as ho seems to be of Large major
ity Of citizens, and he will probably be
elected with little Qr no opposition.
The Lake Charles echo., 1894-06-01

Our attention was called to this sub
jeet a few days since, by seeing where,
in the southern portion of Onr city, an
apparently newcomer to this country
had transplanted some fine young orange
trees, which lad not been in the ground,
we should judge, more than ten days or
probably two weeks. These trees are
now stone dead, and the mans money as
well as his work, was thrown away. 1t
is the sheerest folly for any one to trans
plant trees of any kind, during such
drOuth as we are now having, especially
at this season Of the year. If orange
trees are to be planted in the spring, let
it be before the first of April. The best
time to transplant trees is IN the latter
part of December, to insure their taking
root and making n fine spring growth.
Bat if it does not suit you TO plant then,
put it off until the July rains set inf
they cOme-which they generally do. Do
not plaut unless the ground is well satu-
rated with water, then, any time from
July LIST, to the last of August. 1t is much
better to transplant oranges then than
in the spring in this country. We do not
recommend spring transplanting for them
at all.
Amy kind of evergreen can be trans
planted during the last weeks of sum
mer provided the ground 10 still wet.
HardwoOds Of every kind must be trans
planted during the winter, any time
from the LIST of December to the lst Of
March.
While speaking OfhardwoOds, especial
ly where intended for shade, we would
like to say good word for our noble,
native, live oak trees. Why do not our
citizens whom we see setting ont shade
trees, especially where they use the oak,
use the live oak We see them trans
planting water oak, pin oak, even the
common red oak, where, at but slight
advance in cost, they might have had the
nOblest trees that grow in their stead,
and shade that many generations might
enjoy during our hot summers, for live
oak seldom dies, but usually blows down
from the superabundance Of its foliage
and wide-spreading branches A live oak
is not only Il magnificent summer shade,
but is a grand winter protection, for its
foliage is as thick during winter as in
summer; and it is one of the finest nut
bearing trees, the crop being always
very heavy one, and the nuts are eaten
greedily by both pig and poultry.
Young trees suitable for trausplanting,
we feel sure cun be procured at small
expense from the neighboring woods
where they grow naturally, either east
Of us from the MeTmentoau, west, from
schoapique, or south from the Grand
Cheniere and the c0ast.
