The Utah Pioneer Jubilee.
Salt Lake CITY. April 10. 1897

The work OF the Utah Semi Centen-
NAL Commission is preparing for the
great Pl oneer jubilee TO be held in this
July 1925, has assumed such proportions
that in less than a weeks time nearly a
half hundred people will be on ITS pay
roll. Between sixty and seventy floats
are to be built directly by the CON mis-
sion and from present indications as
many more will be constructed under
its supervision. There will be as many
floats in the jubilee parade as there was
in the last Mardi Gras in New Orleans,
more than was to be seen in the Yelled
Prophets CELEBRATION in 81. Louis, twice
as many as were in last years Festival
OF Mountain and Plain in Denver, aud
three times as many as La Fiesta of Los
Angeles, whici. begins ol the 10Th inst,
will have. The jubilee floats will be the
peers, in beauty and grandeur, OF any
similar productions yet exhibited in the
United States and will be OF greater
interest, because the subjects to be de-
picted will come closer to the hearts of
the people. The Commission will ex-
pend not less than $25 900 in the con-
structicn in its own floats aud as much
more will be expended for floats by the
counties OF the State and by merchants
and manufacturers.
SERPENT OF THE GREAT SALT LAKE.
The magnificent dragon, which the
Chinese reverently worship as tho great.
est of all their idols. will be feature of
the jubilee parades, as it was OF the
Midsummer Carnival held here last
year. In one of the night parades the
dragon will represen the serpent of the
Great Salt Lake. It's saudy trappings
will be covered with drapery which will
glisten with salt crystallizations, and
which will, under the glare OF a score or
more Of powerful calcium lights. produce
a spectacular effect more magnificent
than has yet been accomplished by scenic
artist or float designer. Tho Chinese at
tendsnts, $50 in number, will be dressed
in the most elaborate and fanciful cos
tunes of THE country. Every float in
that parade, the subject of which is
"Great Salt Lake--Real and Fanclful,"
will be decorated with materials made
from the products of which the waters
of the lake are famous Saltair, the
largest bathing resort in the world, will
be reproduced in miniature; statues Of
heroic size chiseled from huge blocks Of
salt will grace many OF the floats; the
trappings OF the horses, the costumes Of
the attendants, in fact, everything con-
nected with the parade will be encrusted
with crystals OF salt, brilliant and varl-
colored, the whole producing an ensem-
BILE 30 grand and so beautiful and so
unique as to defy criticism. The esti-
mated cost of the parade is $4,000 but
it will be carried out as planned if the
cost should prove to be double that
amount.

Decatur Ca, July SO.-Court convened
this morning at S O'Clock. Mr.. Glenn con-
cluded his argument for the defense, and
Mr.. Lewis followed with strong conclu-
sion for the state.
Judge Chandler gave a twenty minutes
charge and the case went to the jury at
$3.50 o'clock.
The jury in the case went to bed at mid
night tonight without announcing its YER
dict. 1t could not have done otherwise,
the Judge having gone to his home, on the
conclusion of the argument, several miles
away.
There was more excitement tonight than
heretofore. Atlanta pepople went out by
the carload, but the hoped-for exciting
events failed TO materlalze.
Rumors of violence were plentiful. and
an afternoon paper issued an extra.
The street car and hotel profits were
swollen in consequence and great deal
Of foolish talk was INDUCED in on the
dark street corners of the village, but no
action was taken, nor is it likely that any
will be before tomorrow, if ever.
1t Is thought by those who have made 1t
their special business to find out, that
four of the Jurors or possibly five are
favorably inclined toward the insanity
claim of the prisoners counsel.
An interview had with Flanagan this aft
ernoon developed the fact that he thought
his lawyers and almost everybody else to
be fools; but he denied that he, himself
was crazy. He said his counsel we're
alone responsible for the objection raised
to his being hung He said he didn't
mind 1t a bit, but he did object to being
lynched. Tomorrow will decide his fate.
Flanagan is locked in the jail, guarded
by number of determined deputies who
are heavily armed.
Mob violence might be attempted in case
of a mistrial.

Another non-union man, whose name

He was knocked down and badly beaten

Homer I. Wolfe of McKeesport and

BOGGS RUN BREAK.
The Failure to Bring the Men Out
Bad For the Strikers.

Wheeling, w. Va.,, July SO.-The strlk-
ing miners organizers in the Wheeling dis
trict are making a desperate effort to
counteract the refusal of the men in two
mines of the Boggs Run Coal Company to
come out, but it is likely that the Boggs
Run break will precipitate others. In
fact, the mines at Moundsville were work
ing to-day with a small force, and thirty
three of the seventy men at Elm Grove
were at work
The Glendale operators assert that their

a full force. All these desertions are the
direct cause of the failure to bring out the
Boggs Run men.

Organizers Anderson and Seelsburg Of the
Wheeling district, addressed meeting in

The Founder Explains That Coloni-

hution ~ ~ sue ISSUE
Chicago. July SO.-The New Time OF
Monday will contain an article by Eugene
v. Debs in which he says:
THE social democracy is a general So
cial, economic and political organization.
1t Is at once national and international.
Politically speaking, 1t Is a party within
and for itself and within twelve months
It's national representatives will have for
mulated a national political platform,
similarly the various state representa-
tives Will have adopted state platforms
and the municipal representatives local
platforms. BY far the greater part of the
criticism has been directed against the
'colonlzatlon scheme and there are those
who still insist that this is all there Is to
the movement. or. at least that this Is It's
chief purpose
ITO all OF these be II said that the pro-
posed colonization scheme Is simply one OF
the features Of the government and has
been assigned a special department known
as the colonization department.
There has never been any intention 20
organize isolated colonies, and they who
have worked themselves up In describing
the fate Of other colonies and predicting
calamity have been wasting their time"

NO REMOVALS EXCEPT ron CAUSE.
The New Rule IA Severe Blow For the
Foes of Civil Service Reform.


Washington, July SO-President McKin-
ley fooled Senator Prtchard, Representa-
tive Grosveuor, and the other pronounced
enemies OF civil service reform, by his re-
cent order protecting efficient pubic Off
GERS from dismissal. and refusing to let
down the bars to the spoilsmen. Senator
Pritchard and Representative Grosveuor
have been predicting that the President
would Issue an order that would send a
thrill of Joy to the hearts of the spoilsmen
and make places at the pie counter for the
hungry and yet unfed members OF the G.
O. II.
1t was said that a thorough reorganlza-
ton OF the civil service commission was TO
take place, and the regulations were to be
changed SO as to make dismissals of com
petent democrats easy, and the way open
ed for the reinstatement or appointment Of
republicans who could muster sufficient
influence with the present administration.
Just before starting on his summer vaca-
tlon, the President issued an order de-
clarng that no dismissals in the govern
ment service should be made except for
cause, and in every instance the accused
should have an opportunity to defend him
self against the charges laid at his door.
It has been a favorite practice in the de-
partments of the government, for remov-
ais to be made summarily. without giving
the victims any reason for dismissal or
affording them an opportunity to refute the
charges made against them. The Presi-
dents order, II carried out in good faith,
Will protect many worthy men and women
who entered the public service during the
last administration.
The Presidents order comes too late to
save q number OF competent clerks who
annDipfa1 tho civil carxra from
North Carolina, South Carolina and Geor-
gia. who have been dismissed or reduced
to lower grades under the present admin
istration. The congressional delegations
from these states have made many visits
to the department In the vain effort 10
save the official scalp of some Of their
constituents. who were removed witho1t
a word of warning or the slightest inti-
nation that they were marked for decap-
itation
In a number Of instances removals nave
been made on the simest kind OF preteXt,
and the victims were not notified until II
was too late for them to muster their in
fiuence ana demand an investigation. Ex-
peronce in the departments at Washing

for clerks marked for slaughter, to save
themselves II they are warned M time
and summon the right kind of influence
II is difficult. on the other hand to secure
a reinstatement after one IS once dropped
from the pay roll.
The old republican clerks, who were re-
duced under a democratic administration,
and all OF those who were dismissed and
expected TO get back under republican
rule, are highly indignant at the Presi-
dents ruling Their complaining will avail
nothing, as the President has public senti-
ment behind his latest act, and even con-
gress has not the courage to override the
civil service law.

and make a careful examination OF the
whole subject. Those who are interested
IN the project are highly pleased with the
selection Of Rear Admiral Walker and
Capt. Carter, and they are satisfied that
the interests OF all parties will be consid-
cred in an able and thoroughly practical
manner. Capt Carter's friends In Savan-
nah will watch his career with the Keen
est interest for his admirable work in
