CONDEMN DEBS' PLANS.
The Socialistic Labor Party Against
His "Sociai democracy of
America

Since Eugene v. Debs of railroad fame
undertook to launch his cooperative
commonwealth plan. under the name OF
The Social Democracy of America" his
proposition has been much discussed by
those interested in matters OF political
economy. The Socialists in particular
have made dtligent inquiry to learn
exactly what Mr.. Debs intends to do and
how be intends to do it. They have
learned enough now to condemn his plan,
and all over the country general condemna-
ton is being uttered. At meeting OF
the central committee OF the Socialistic
Labor party held recently the following
resolution was passed:
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 80, 1897.
WHEREAS Under tbs name of 1.-The SOCIAL
Democracy of Ameii ica'' Eugene V. Debs and
colleagues have plan TO establish within
State OF this Union miniature sociaiisue
commonwealth; and whereas, the success OF
the iuternationa socialist movement depends
upon the economic Intelligence OF the people
and not upon their willingness 10 follow
individual or to industrially cooperate in
competitive system; and whereas, the coloni-
zation of districts results i'll 10 general dis
semination of the principle of solidarity, but
re-establishes capitallstic community inter
ests against those of the world; be IL therefore
Resolred, That no logical conclusion can be
arrived 81 regarding this scheme, which vii
place every engine OF governmental and
private capitalism in immediate and direct
opposition, except that this colony, the weaker
OF antagonistic aud contesting governments,
must yield, and in this case necessarily be
extirpated; and be 1t further
Eesolued. That growing class in numbers.
q growing class in Intelligence, the ruling
political factor OF the near future, the pro-
letariat would be frittering away its time In
vainly endeayoring TO econo nomically reyoiu-
tioniZe geographically small fraction of the
Nation, when it is more practical to revolu-
tionize the whole country by education and
united political effort, guided by the
economic development, and not guided by
time-worn and oft-tried schemes invested with
the glamour OF a leaders name.

drawn in his favor, and he naturally re-
lied in the negative Forthwith l was
believed to be an EN- b zzleT.
'This will be found TO be tha true state
OF affairs. My books are square, and
though l think that ! shall probably lose
my position on account OF the notoriety
connected with the case, am confident
hat shall be exonerated of any crime.
The story that l have been on a pro-
ionged debauch is untrue. | left the City
on Saturday last on private business and
returned on Tuesday to learn that there
was warrant out for my arrest. 1t was
my first intention TO go down 10 Marshal
Baldwin and give myself up. but l could
not consult with my bondsmen or my at
torney at the time"
Welburn hopes to get bonds to-day at
the latest. Assistant United States Dis
trlct Attorney Schlesinger was ready
yesterday to pass upon the responsibility
of all offers of ball. but Commissioner
Heacock could not be found at the time.
The deposed Collector had consultation
in the evening with Attorney Gavin Nc
Nab and Captain Webb and declared
afterward that all arrangements had been
perfected for his release as soon as Com
missioner Heacock was ready to listen.

WIRES GROUNDED.

The Southern olice Station Shut Out
From Telephone Communication.
This is one of the quietest Fourths of
July | have ever seen in San Francisco, -
remarked Lieutenant of Police Dan
Hanna of the Southern police station late
yesterday afternoon.
The old wooden shed called a police
station has been steadily sinking since
the big fire few weeks ago, and as a re-
suit yesterday the wires became grounded
and smut off all outside connection. Sew
eral attemp pts were made at the Central
police station to ring up the Southern
station, but all TO no purpose, as no con-
nection could be had. Things were too
quiet to suit the lively disposition OF
Lieutenant Hanna at last and he tried to
find out If o.her sections of the City were
as peaceable as his own. Then he made
the discovery that he was not in touch
with the olner stations nor with any por-
ton of the outside telephone world for
that matter, and the reasons for the un-
usual peace Of the Fourth of July dawned
upon him. He at once dispatched Ser
ceant Davis to the telephone Office to re-
port the case and repairs were soon after
made.
Another attempt will be mad 9 to have
