MI. Debs and Social Democracy DOM
mated the convention and the famous
labor leader carried the gathering OF its
feet in one Of his characteristic
speeches.
A resolution introduced by Mr..
Mahon of Detroit calling upon all min.
ers now at work to desert their posts,
terming then enemies of human liberty
90 long as they remained on duty, was
adopted. Mr.. Mahon had another reso-
luton prepared asking the convention
to call for 100 volunteers to go into the
town of Pocahontas, Va. on Sept. Is
aud there hold public meeting .'in de-
fiance of the mayor Of that city, who
had set himself up in opposition to the

but at the last moment concluded not
to present it. The resolution will prob
ably come to the front at the Chicago
convention. Mr.. Ratchford, who was
especially pleased with the conventions g
instructions rega riding the request for
the converting Of congress, hurried
away to Columbus, where he will at
tend q conference Of mine workers and
operators. Mr.. Debs and, in fact, all
the leaders are gratified at the result of
the conference.
The speech of Mr.. Debs just previous
to the adjournment Of the convention
was enthusiastically received, especially
his denunciatjon Of plutocracy. 1.-THE
time has not quite come to incite the
populace, said Mr.. Debs, shaking his
fist vehemently. II serve notice on the
plutocratic element of this country that
we are on the eve of another meeting
in Chicago which will be attended BY
all branches of labor. That convention
will take up these same questions and
will institute agitation and keep it 70.
ing until the public conscience and pub
lie heart are aroused. Then will come
such an uprising as the world has never
seen."

Tho Resolutions Adoptel.

The report of the resolutions com.
mittee, as finally adopted by the con.
vention, were quite lengthy and devoted
largely to the denunciation of ''govern.
ment by injunction" and to q statement
regarding the present miners strike.
They conclude ~ follows:
Resolved, That we consider the use
Of the ballot as the best and safest means
for the amelioration Of the hardships un.
der which the laboring classes suffer.
Resolved, That the public ownership
Of mines and railroads. Is one of the
most necessary reforms for our body pol
itic.
Resolved, That we most emphatic
ally protest against government by in
junction, which plays havoc with even
such political liberty as workingmen have
saved from the steady encroachment Of
capitalism, and be 1t finally
Resolved, That no nation in which
the people are totally disarmed can long
remain free nation, and therefore, we
urge upon all liberty flowing citizens to
re1nember and obey article two of the
Constitution Of the United States. which
reads as follows:
The right of the people to keep and
bear arms shall not be infringed."

A Bank Panic.

The closing of Chestnut Street
National Bank and the Trust Com
pany of Philadelphia, both of
which Mr.. VIM. NJ. Singerly was
president, caused a slight p mic
among depositors of the Second
National Bank of Elkton, in which
Mr.. Singerly is largely interested,
being vice-president of the insti-
tuition. The Democrat describes
the panic which was created by the
Philadelphia failures:
"The result was that quite a run
was mode upon it during the hour
preceding closing, but all demands
were promptly met and patrons of
the bank were assured that the
institution would not be seriously
affected by Mr.. Singerly's mis-
fortune.
"The depositors however were
rapidly getting into a panic, and
when the closing hour arrived the
bank had exhausted its cash.
During the evening the excitement
increased and it was rumored that
the bank would not open in the
morning. The officials met and
made the necessary arrangements
and promptly at 8 O'Clock the bank
opened. At once there was rush
and the corridor of the bank was
quickly filled with persons eager to
withdraw their money. They were
promptly served and gradually
confidence was restored"
$4,000 it is stated was drawn
out of the bank.
This kind of incident shows the
radical error of a financial system
employing any kind of private
bank. There is no absolute secu.
rity of the peoples money when
placed in the custody of an asso-
citation of individuals composing a
banking corporation. There is no
difference between a so-called
national bank and an old fashioned

state bank, except that the notes
are furnished and secured by the
government. That makes the
banks notes or currency safe in
the hands of the people, but the
depositors have no better security
than they had in the state banks,
unless the state permitted wildcat
banks to be organized.
The fact is that every cent of
money handled by the bank belongs
to the public. The bank trades on
their money, and furnishes but
weak security for its safe keeping,
hence panic among depositors is
so easily started. They know their
money is not safe, and are liable to
lose it in case Of emergencies that
they cannot foresee.
The government has been com
PEELED to issue the currency to the
banks and secure the people from
loss, if the bank fails, who hold the
banks bills. If the government is
compelled to issue all the currency
to the banks, then it should estab-
lish banks to take care of it. There
would never a panic start among
depositors if their money was in
Uncle Sans bank. The financial
tempest might howl among the
"financiers" but the plain people
would lose no sleep over the safety
of their deposits. Let us have
government banks.

BY REBELS
The Reported Death of
Blanco's Military
Commander.
HAVANA SPANIARDS
STARTLED.
Officials at the Palace Cannot
Believe the Report Is
True.
STORY COMES WITH VERY
FEW DETAILS.
He Was Leading an Army Through
the Country Held by
. s Gomez.
Copyright, 1897, by JAIME. eordon n Bennett

HAVANA, Dec. Ia report that GEN
ersl Pando, who was placed in charge of
the military operations in Cuba by GEN
eral Blanco, has been killed in an engage
ment with the insurgents in Santa Clara
province has just reached Havana.
This report has caused the most intense
excitement in palace and official circles
and every effort is being made by them to
get news from General Pando's force and
to find out the truth or falsity of the
startling news.
No details OF the killing OF the Spanish
commander have been received, nothing
beyo yond the statement that he was shot in
battle with q force of insurgents while on
the m arch from Sagua la Grande, on the
northern coast of Santa Clara, to Trini-
dao, on the southern coast of the same
province, where he was to take ship and
go to Manzanillo. in the eastern province
of Santiago lie Cuba. The officials at the
palace declare the story must be thor
oughly confirmed before they believe it.
They say the last reports from General
Pando were that he would be in or on his
way to Manzanillo by this time.
General Pando's plan was to marc b
right through the heart of the territory
which General Gomez's force is declared
to have controlled. Reports of his move.
ments received here up to to-day ind dicate
that while the Spanish general was find
ing so little oppo sition he bad to do prac-
tically no fighting at all on his march.
Communication with the forces in the
field has not been regular, and until fur.
ther news direct from General Pando's
army is received Havana authorities Will
be in a state of the greatest anxiety.
Simu ultaneouslv with the report of Gen.
eral. Paldo's death we have news of
battle with the insurgents near Matanzas,
in which the Spanish forces were routed
and driven from the field. This engage
ment was bitterly fought. and it is as
serted the losses of the Spaniards were
very heavy.

thrown into jail. And this, too, after
they have suffered shipwreck and en-

gales set in, and the Nautilus had to
stand out 10 sea. She brayed the storm
for several days, and then put back
toward the lagoon.
In the meantime a heavy fog settled
over the coast and the two boys on board
without compass found themselves in an

They found themselves near the old
