A IOCAL BRANCH ORGANIZED. Appliéation Has Been Made to Secretary Keliher for a Charter. PROMINENT REFCRMFRS INTERESTED. James Taylor Rogers Elected Presi- dent of the San Francisco Branch, Social Democracy, Debs’ new reform movement, has taken a firm hold on San Franeisco. A local branch has been or- ganized here with the following officers: 1 J. Taylor Rogers, president; J. M. Rey- nolds, vice-president; J. D. Spencer, sec- retary; R. L. Ryfkogel, treasurer; J. K. Phbillips, organizer. Temporary organization was effected some weeks ago, and a charter was ap- plied for. An answer came back from National Secretary Sylvester Keliher, who has his headquarters at Chicago, thav it would be necessary for a permanent or- ganization to be formed before a charter could be granted. Permanent organiza- tion was effected last Thursday and a new application for a charter at once for- warded. Meanwhile, executive meetings ot the local body will be heid weekly and plans discussed for extending the membership. Among other things it is proposed to send the organizer to the meetings of the various labor and fraternal organizations to expound the principles and the benefits to be derived from Social Democracy. 1t has been the popular impression that the primary object of the Sccial Democ- racy is the colonization of the unem- ployed. The idea is dissipated by Presi- dent Debs, who in a recent interview out- lined the policy of the new movement and claimed that it was in reality a new polit- ical party. “Tne colonization scheme,’” he said, “is very much misunderstood, even by my best friends, As a matter of fact, tnis is but one feature of the Social Democracy. But it can be made an imporiant one in vitalizing and developing the general movement. “The Social Democracy is not a coloni- zation scheme. It is a political moye- ment, Were the colonization to prove a faulure it would not stop the Sccial De- mocracy movement. “As I conceive 1t the colonization scheme is an incidental plan to relieve the present distress all about us as much as possible.

CUSTOMS CHANGES, Retrenchment and Reform Inaugurated in the Internal Revenue Collector's Officer The appointment of E. A, Holmes as Deputy Surveyor of the Port to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Samuel J. Ruddell was confirmed by the Treasary Department at Washington yes- terday, and Mr. Holmes will enter upon the discharge of his duties to-day, the Federal Government not recognizing Sun- day as a day of rest for customs officers, E. A. Beauce, clerk in the assistant storekeeper’s department, was dismissed from the service yesterday morning on recommendation of Collector of the Port Jackson. It is said that Beauce gave “*back talk’ to Frank Cushing. The Col- lector gave it out that the dismissal was “for the good of the service,” a charge which was held by the Treasury Depart- ment to benot good in the case of Mes- senger Sankey. George . Kenny, typewriter in the Col- lector's office, was promoted to Beauce's piace and salary, Stephen T. Gage is his friend, W. E. Rowlands, extra assistant store- keeper, was .pw‘nud in Kenny's place, and Jacob Livingston has been chosen from the eligible list in Rowland’s place. Livingston will be placed on six months’ probation. Frank P. Flesh bas been appointed in Holmes’ place. The Internal Revenue Collector’s office was lightened by the displacement of Bookkeeper Chinn, Deputy Colflector Aiken and Miss Kirby, a clerk. Acting Collector Thomas says the vacancies were created in the interest of retrenchment m(}vement, though it may prove a great help. “The Social Democracy is a party, & political party as muc. as the Republican and Populist parties, It isa reform party and has a mostradical reform programme. It aims to do away with the present economic system and substitute collective ownership an¢ co-operative operation of all means of production -and distribution. As the Republican party was organized to abolish ~chattel slavery, so the Social Democratic party is organized to do away with industrial slavery.. One is no more revolutionary than the other. Tie only way to abolish industrial slavery is to abolish the competitive system. **A strike setiles nothing permanently. It does not go to the root of theevil. It ages not remove the cause of the trouble. The two parties to the dispute are certain to renew it sooner or later, and if labor wins one time capital will win another time. “The strike of the miners now on 1s somewhat different. In tuis case the miners are not getting work- because they cannot live on the wages now paid. They are striking against starvation. Nor are the operators better off. They are making nothing. Profits have ceased. *In the district where I live thereis.an operator who formerly was a miner him- seif. He hasstrugglea for years against the reduction of wages, but: the pitiless law of competlition has forced him to cut his. own men down to starvation rates in order. to operate his property at all For some time he has operated at 5o profit-and has given the men the'benefit in wages. A few days ago ‘his. men de- cided to goout with the others; and this employer said to them: “‘Boys, I don't blame you. -Iadvise you to quit.. Iwould pay you more if I could; but I cant. 1 have sympathy for you, but I.can’t help you. Iam powerless.” “In‘the coal-mining business rock bot- tom bas been reached, and thereis, in my opinion, but _one escape from ‘the heari- rending conditions which now prevail'in the business. Thatis collective ownership of tne coal mines and: co-operative opera- tion. As to the Bocial Deamocracy I. have boundless faith in the future. 'Kvery day hundreds of letters from. the very best people of the country come to ns. The organization will expand wiih magical spontaneity. It will be_a revelation even 10 the most sanguine. Mark it. Itis not an experiment, but an actuality. My whole soul throbs and surges with it, and I feel that I cannot be mistaken. “In twelve months it will be the most important factor in our social and econ- omic affairs, and in two years it will lead the world. To those who lack faith in the intelligence of the peopie to carry out the plans of the Social Demccracy, I would earnestly point out the fact thatthe people are being educated on these ques- iions more rapidiv than ever before. They have learned more in the past year along these lines than they learned in ten years previous. 5 *‘Sweat are the uses of adversity,” and the hard times have brought along with suffering and misery, thonght of knowl- edve. The people are waking up. “Why, 1f you give workmen $1 25 a day, to-morrow they would as a whole settle down, under the present conditions, sat- isfied. At least, they would have done so a year ago, But there 1sa constantly in- creasing number now who see that the present eystem is wrong and who wouid never be satisfied under it again under any circumstances. 2 4] have a firm, unwavering faith that right is eternal, that truth must triumph, and I believe tbat no man who has seif- respect should ever despair. He is bound by every atom of nobility in his nature to and reform. Partition of the Dore Estate, Eilen Dore and others have sued Mortimer K. Truett and others for the purpose of secur- ing a partition of the estate of the late Maurice ore, fight to the death for the truth and to never, never surrender, ““Men may betray. I have been be- trayed by my supposed friends, perse- cuted, b'acklisted, maligned, misrepre- sented and abandoned. But the knowl- edge ot my own uprightness of purpose and the serene faith in the power of truth has so far: upheld me, and, I believe, aiways will. I have fuith in the right. 1 have faitn that the principles of social denrocracy are right. I have faith that the peopie are awakening to the truth. Victory will come,"” PHELAN TAKES A HAND. Writes to the Superintendent of Streets Regarding Stockton Street. The agitation of the property-ownersand storekeepers on Stockion street, between Geary:an t O'Farrell, against the condition tn._which the coniractors have left the thoroughfare has led Mayor Phelan to take a hand in_the matter, and’ he ad- dressed the following letter to the Buper- intendent of Streets on thesubject yester- dayafterncon: SAN FRANCISC i Cal., Jnly 29, 1897. Wiltiam (peintendent of Streets; City Hall, 0—DEAR SIk: The dis- eriienit condition of Stocktonstreer, between O'Farrell and Geary streets, is & matter of pub- He comment and u refleclion upon our City government. The Troperty-owne-s and store- kecpers bave protested against the injustice that is being done them. I therefore request you to révoke any permit that may bave been given to the contractor for plastering the building, or any other per- 5008 -who- hAve unreasonably excecded the time required for doing the work. The public interest mu<tnot be made subor- diuate to the convenience of private individ- uals. When this is done, have theconiractor {£:r the vaving of the strect begin work atonce, 10-the end that the public street way be made passavle and the property righis of ‘the store. ecpers may not be further jeopardizea. 1 would suggest in the internn’that you have the street watered with hose irom the neigh- boring hydrant, in order to keep the shifting sands from inconveniencing stores and prop- erty and neighboring thoroughfares. Yours respectfully, JAMES D. PHELAN, Mayor. Daputy’ Superintendent Donovan said yesterday tnai the work of clearing the Street and paving the same had already begun, and that it woald soon be in acon- dition to pear trafhic, OPPOSED T0 Mass-Meeting at Twentieth and Guerrero Streets. The Project Characterized Plainly as a Real Estate Job. Land Sought to Be Foisted on the Taxpayers at Three Times Its Value. In response to a call from the Mission { Improvement Union, the ball at Twentieth |and Guerrero streets was packed last night with residents of the Mission dis- | trict. The ohject of this mass-meeting was stated by Judge F. W. Van Reynegom in his opening address. - He' spoke in sub- stance as follows: We are here to-night {o raise our voices in opposition to whAt we consider one of the greatest acts of injustice about to be perpe- frateG on 1he people here by a few real-estate desters, who, observing the necessity for hav- | ing a park in the Mission proper, have banded themselves together for the purpose of foisting upon us & piece of barren land having only one n‘)jern about ir, and (bis is that it stands on its edge. The 144 acres abont to be sold to the inno- cent taxpayers for §£337,500° have been asse- sed at $2,200. -On tnis tractof barren land the scnemers propose 1o locate & park and zoologleal gardens for the Mission people, wheres, it 18 not in the Mission districtat all, but out beyond the Fairmount tract. Itis more inaccessible for the people of this section than is the Golden Gate Park atthe present time. - The men—the few real estate dealers who want to dispose of this waste land are in hopes that their scheme will run smoothly through chambers and -that the tax- ¥ 1oy the pill without as much as even a protest. The necessity of havinga park became so popular some time #go thatit was conceded onal hands thata viece of laud should-be purchased inside of the Mission proper, which lies between Sixteenth and Thirtiein streeis. Then the schemers seized upon the name of the “Mission Park Association,” and selected a tract of land more than two miles from the original location selected by the movers of the park in the first nstance. The speaker believed that some news- papers had Lteen misied in this deal, as from his own experience the press of San Francisco was opposed to all atiempts by which the peonle were 10 be impo:ed upon. It mattered not who was to be beneiited by the deal. A. R. Gunnison spoke in a similar strain and introduced the tollowing reso- lution, whicn was adopted: WHEREAS, An effort is now being made to sell certnin lands, remote 1rom- the cenor of the popitious Mistion district, 0. the iy for the ostensib.e purpose of supplying the Mis- sion with a zoological park; and whereas, the neatest of such outside trects is further from the oid Mission Church, situate in the heart of the Mission, than Golden Gate Park, aud as the proposed outside lands canonly verenched by traveling out of the warm, sunny district of the Mission .into- the fog-clad and wind- swept hills beyond the distriet it is vretended will be benefited by the purchase of such out- lying tracts; and as no essurance is given that_the great.expense of creating and main- taining a- large zovlogieal garden will be met when the lan. is:secured, therefore, Resolved, Tnat this. meeting, representing the peop.e of the Mission district and the many- petitioners for a ‘‘Mission. Park,’” pro- test against the Jocation of the park oulside of the Mission; that we want a small park within easy access of our homes and respect- fully recommend to the Houorable Boerd of Supervisors that- they securs, by purchase or condemuation, the iwo blocks of land be- tween Dolores and Church, Eighteenth aid Twentieth streets as the most suitable ana available for such purpose, the same being within two blocks of the old Mission Chureh, the actual and historical center of ' the Mis- sion. John A. Miller, A. P.% Van Duzer, Joseph Scheerer and others gave their views upon what they all termed a gross act of injustice on the Mission people. This is not the only voice from the Mis. sion district that has been raised in ob- jecting tothe Gum Tree site. At a meet- ing of the West of Castro Improvement Ciub held on last Saturday night opposi- tion was made to the action of those said to be interested in the purchase of that site for a park. At the meeting held on Saturday night Captain R. 1. Anderson presided. The question whether the club shouid recom- mend any particular site to the Super- visors was considered at length. Amon, those who spoke on the subject were w‘ J. Nixon, W, B. Curtis, F. E. Hackney, ¥. B. Judson and Captain R. W. Ander- son. Mr. Nixon thought it wouid be un- wise to indorse any particular site. His views met with favor, and the resolution indorsing the Gum Tree ranch was voted down. A resolution favoring a park and z00 in thie Mission was adopted. But no particular section was recom- mended. This action, it was claimed, was in keeping with a pronounced prom- ise by all the members at the original meetings of the Mission Park and Zoolo- gical Gardens when that pody organized in Mr. Center's office, on Montgomery street, some few months ago. Then it was agreed that no_particular site should be recommended in preference to any other, but that the Supervisors should in their own judgment select the . best of- fered and at the most reasonable price. ..
