MANIFESTO OF DEBS.

It

Is Issued From the Jail at Woodstock, Ills.

HAS NO APOLOGIES TO MAKE.

Says lit Won III a Thousand Times Kather

lie Kespousible for the Strike than the Decision Which .TiKlge Woods Gave.

He and His Companions Not 1'osing as

Martyrs—Says All Will Eud Well. WOODSTOCK, Ills., Jan. 9.—Eugene V.

Debs, George W. Howard, Sylvester Keliher, Louis W. Rogers, William E. Burns, James Hogan and Leroy Goodwin are confined in the McHenry county jail, where they were sent at the request of one of their attorneys, oil account of the crowded condition of the Cook county jail. Unless the supreme court of the United States grants a writ of habeas corpus, which the defendants will ask for next week, Mr. Debs will continue here for six and the others for three months. Last evening Debs issued this manifesto to the American people:

In going to jail for participation iu the late strike we have

110

apoligoes to make

nor regrets to express. No ignominy attaches to us on account of this sentence. Candor compels me to characterize the whole proceedings as infamous. It is not calculated to revive the rapidly failing confidence of the American people in the federal judiciary. There is not a scrap of testimony to show that one of us violated any law whatsoever. And if we are guilty of conspiracy, why are we punished for contempt!'' This question will continue to be asked with ever increasing emphasis.

I would a thousand times rather be accountable for the strike than for the decision.

The ridicule of the press that we are posing as martyrs will not deceive the people. We all have homes and loved ones, and none of us are here by choice. We simply abide by tne arbitrary action of the courts. There is a higher power yet to be heard from. No corporation will influence its decision. Our cause is that of conscientious liberty, and we have an abiding faith in the American people. We accept our lot with becoming patience and composure. We can afford to wait.

So far as I am concerned, I feel that when all the circumstances are considered it would only have been disgraceful if we had so acquitted ourselves as to have kept out of jail. Our enemie3 are entitled to all the comfort they can extract from our imprisonment, and our friends have no concern.

Questions of great and grave import are up for decision. Great principles involving the liberty of the citizen are at stake. Out of all his, good will come.

There is one fundamental, bed-rock principle that the'American people will never suffer to be sacrificed. It may be menaced, as it now is, but when the high court, "We, the people," have passed final judgments, its enthronement will be fixed and secure for all time.

We are by the mere instrt.mentalities in the evolutionary processes iu operation through which industrial slavery is to be abolished and economic freedom established. Then the star spangled banner will symbolize, as it was designed to symbolize, social, political, religious and economic emancipation from the thraldom of tyranny, oppression and degredation.

CARLISLE'S MEASURE.

The Mouse JLtamorrnts Dooido to Vote on Jt NVxt Friday, WASHINGTON, .Ian. 9. While no for­

mal meeting of the committee on rules has been held regarding the Carlisle banking bill, the Democratic members of the committee have tacitly agreed that a vote shall be taken on Friday of this week, and that a rule will be reported today regulating the debate during the interim.

Kich Gold Strike.

Die AD WOOD, S. D., Jan. 9.—Mining circles are in a flutter of excitement over the announcement of a rich strike made in the Lackawanna mine, situated on Green mountain, a few miles south of Deadwood. A 12-foot vein has been uncovered, the ore from which after many assays, gives returns averaging from $1,500 to $3,700 per ton. The vein is well defined. The mine is owned by James Colins and Curley O'Leary, two poor miners, whom a chance "spot" in one moment has placed in affluence.

Drummers Score a I'oint.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The senate committee on interstate commerce Tuesday authorized a favorable report on the bill amending the interstate commerce act so as to permit the issuance of joint interchangeable 5,000 mile tickets with special privileges as to the amount of free baggage that may be carried under mileage tickets of 1,000 miles or more. This is a bill in which the commercial travelers are especially interested and for which they have worked hard. It has passed the house.

Shot the Hi-spoiler of His Name.

N ASI vi I.I.K,Jan. 8.—William Pascliall, paiuter, of Rutherford, Tenn., returned home at night and found Dr. W. E. Trahirn, a prominent local physician, in his wile's bedroom undressed. He opened lire on Trahirn, and by blood marks on the floor, it is certain that his bullets took effect, but Trahirn lied, and has not since been heard from.

Local and Personal.

"Pocahontro." Miss Fanny Gnpen. of Indianapolis was a guest of old friends here to-day. "Pocahontas, the Indian Princess." Burlesque operetta. Home Comedy Co. "Pocahontas the Indian Princes," two act burlesque operetta by Willard Hendricks.

Martin Gerality, of Rushville, a former employee of the Rushville Republican, was here to-day looking after a job in the printing business.

A. O. Jones, of the firm of Jones & McClure, undertakers, who was called down to Franklin county to take charge of a funeral, returned home last evening.

Dr. Larimore was not present and did not assist in the postmortem examination of Mrs. Nigh's child, nor did he see it during its last sickness. The REPUBLICAN had been misinformed yesterday when we stated he was present.

Charles Downing has been at Indianapolis this week attending the meeting of the State Board of Agriculture. Mr. Downing was to day re-elected a member of the State Board for two years without opposition. He is a very efficient and popular director.

The Editor of the REPUBLICAN acknowledges an invitation from President Swain of the State University, to attend the dedication of Kirkwood Hall at Bloomington Jan. 25. Addresses will be made by Governor Claud Matthews and President Angell of Michigan University. The venerable Dr. Kirkwood for whom the Hall Is named, is expected to be present.

James Veatch, of Blueriver Tp. was in the REPUBLICAN office Tuesday with a splendid photograph of his old regiment, the 124th Indiana Infantry, and the 15th battery which they supported. We noticed the familiar face of J. A. Lynum. Enos Geary and James T. Bodkins were members of the above regiment, but as they did not attend the last reunion, their beaming faces do not illumine the pictures.

Greenfield was well represented by twenty delegates at the three-dollar-a-plate funeral feast at Indianapolis last night in honor of A. Jackson. Greenfield had more delegates than any city outside of Indianapolis. The fact that so many of the mourners smiled and looked happy was accounted for by one speaker, who thought it was all caused because about two-thirds of them had voted the Republican ticket last fall and were happy because they had done the right thing.

FltAXCES MARIA GOODING.

Frances Maria Gooding, wife of David S. Gooding, and daughter of William and Elizabeth Sebastian, was fatally attacked by paralysis on Friday night, December 14, A. D. 1894 at her own home, and after enduring much pain and suffering died Jan. 6, A. D., 1895, at about 9:30 o'clock a. m. Daring her entire affliction though her suffering was great, she bore it with great patience and Christian fortitude. (The affliction defied medical skill and good nursing, apparently rendering her death inevitable.) Her naturally good constitution resisted until overcome by death. She was born June 9, A. D. 1820, Scott county, Kentucky, near Georgetown, and came with her parents to Greenfield, Indiana in the fall of 1830, iu which she has continuously resided up to her death, being at the time of her death, the oldest continuous female inhabitant of the city of Greenfield, as her husband is the oldest continuous male inhabitant of this city, not the oldest persons: but only the oldest continuing inhabitants. She was intermarried with David S. Gooding at the old Sebastian homestead in this city, March 12, 1844. On the 12th day of last March she and her husband celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage at their own residence which was attended by many of the frieuds of their earlier and later years. As fruits of their marriage she became the mother of three children, Eugene Sebastian Gooding, an un-named infant girl, both of whom died in infancy, and Marshall B. GoodiDg. She had five sisters, Eliza A. Offutt, wife of Humphrey Offutt, Gabrella Hart, wife of Andrew T. Hart, Amanda M. Branham, wife of Alexander K. Branham, Asberene Morris, wife of Hiram Morris, Harriet Pierson, wife of Orson Piersou and John T. Sebastian, formerly clerk of the Hancock Circuit Court, as was also his father before him. All of wh mi were at one time residents of this city, and all of whom are now deceased, excepting one sister, Mrs. Morris and one brother-in-law, Alexander K. Branham. All this large family, composed of father, mother, daughters, son and sons-in-law have crossed over the great river, leaving on this side only one sister and two brothers-in-law, Branham and Gooding. Of Mrs. "Frank Gooding," as she was familiarly called, it can truly be said she was a true and faithful wife and mother, and a sincere friend and noble woman. None knew her well but to admire and love her for her many good traits. She united with the Methodist Episcopal church many years ago and was baptized by Rev. Reuben I). Robinson, in the presence of her husband son and daughter-in-law, all upon their knees, iu her own parlor. For more than a year past, she was kept from the church services often because of her failing eyesight and inability to kneel in prayer and rheumatic pains. That she died in the Christian faith there is no question.

During her last affliction she frequently expressed herself clearly and unmistakeably. When taken by the hand by her husband in the last hour of her life, when immediate death was imminent, she feebly uttered these words, "Papa I am almost dead," and then raising her right hand and pointing toward Heaven, her last words were, "blessed Jesus."

—•A scr.ous riot oc-

currcd here yesterday w.'ien tho croud of unemployed workinginen resumed their demons) ratiou. The crowd, largely increased in numbers, met before the legislative building and hooted the expremier, Sir William Whiteway, who was formerly their idol. They inarched again to the dock, where the Tourma--. line is lying, ro receive the captain'sanswer to their petition of yesterday. Captain Sir Richard Poore, the commander of the warship, received a deputation, and told them that the matter was in the hands of the governor. The crowd became deeply exasperated aud the leaders suggested that the ministers be seen, and the suggestion was quickly acted upon.

Proceeding to the chamber, the crowd found that their coming had been anticipated, for they found the doors barred against them. Undaunted in their determination, tho crowd set to work to force an entrance, and door." and windows were soon battered down and ingress gained. The police attempted to cheek the crowd iu their work of destruction, but the- officers fared badly in the scuffle that followed, and the rioters were, for the time being, masters of tho situation. Their victory, however, was barren of result, for, after gaining the chamber, they fouud'' that the members of the executive wero conveniently-absent.

Iu tiie. meantime the police force brought reinforcements, but before they arrived the rioters withdrew. Later the crowd again visited the governor and made another appeal to him, but this was also ineffectual. Then they returned to the legislative building, but this time they were unable to force an entrance. They, however, remained on the grounds demanding relief and bitterly cursing the government. Hoping to pacify them, Prime Minister Greeno appeared and addressed them. He promised that in two or three days exteusive public works would be commenced, sufficient to give all remunerative employment through the winter.

His listeners refused to be satisfied with his promises and demanded that immediate relief be furnished them. When they wore told that it was impossible to accede to this demand, tne leaders of the crowd held a short conference and it was decided to attack the stores on Water street, where large quantities of provisions were supposed to be kept. The first place attacked wras Douer's. The place was soon broken open, but the mob was disappointed iu finding no provisions there. Then attention was turned to Steer'sstores, which were quickly looted of' their provisions. At this point armed police intervened and the mob was driven back at the point of the bayonet. Four men, Buz/.ey, Brown, Coady and King, the promoters of the rioters, were arrested.

The crowd displayed an inclination to attack the police for the purpose of rescuing the prisoners, but the officers prevented this by driving the mob back and then sudd .dy closing the gates. The police remained inside with their prisoners while the rioters surrounded the premises, hooting and stoning the officers. The Tourmaline marines were held under orders to land should there be further outbreak. The city police, foot and mounted, wero soon at the scone. Special police were sworn in and guarded the other parrs of the city.

The government has offered to resign, feeling unable to lace the needs of the situation.
