In aubmlttlnB the foregoing , probably my
last annual statement as county clerk , I fee"
at liberty to call attention to the favorabla
showing made In many respects , inasmuch
as these facts are of Interest lo the ta.\ '
payers as well as a matter of pride to these
who have been charged with the manage
ment of the affairs of the county during
the past four years.
\Vhllo n much more satisfactory showing
could bo made If the laws governing the
transactions of the county were so const !
tuted that the business of the county mlgh
bo conducted upon the same business basis
as that of any other large corporation In
stead of being compelled to Issue warrants
against an expected fund before It Is col
lected , yet a careful comparison between
the condition of the county today and Itf
condition January 1 , 1892 , when the preson
methods of transacting business were Intro
dticed , develops the fact that no Incon
slderablo advance has been made towan
conducting the affairs o the county In tin
Interest of the taxpayers.
It must bo berne In mind that prior tc
January 1 , 1892 , It was the custom to draw
warrants for the full face of the levy ,
withstanding that It was contrary to law
consequently the unexpended balances
against which warrants could be drawn on
I January 1 , 1832 , In all the funds amountei
to but $48,438.55.
Upon the other hand unpaid warrants t
the amount of$140.036' / ' w ro reslstoro' '
and drawing Interest at the rate of 7 pc
cent , two Judgments were running agalns
the county , ono for J41,73S.G8 and one fo
$31,499.03 and drawing interest nt the sam
rate , unsettled claims to the amount o
$36,741.91 were filed with the old board o
commissioners and were turned over t
their successors to care for. Since tha
tlmo an unexpected outlay of funds ha
been required upon the county hospital t
repair the damage occurring through fault ;
construction , so that briefly the actual con
dltlon of the county may be summed up
have been as follows :
Outstanding warrants January 1 , 1S92..J140.091S Of
Hospital judgment 41.73S 5
Inline judgment 31.4DJ 0
Unpaid bills January 1 , 1S92 56.741 9

Interest on judgments btnca paid li.971 i
Total J349.802 9
Levies available 4S.4 : i.
Amount to tx > provided for above current -
rent expenses JMlt6l 37
I need not tnko. up time or apace to stat
that these amounts have all been paid , a
outstanding warrants redeemed and the cur
rent expenses of the county slnco that tlm
fully paid. A brief statement of the condl
tlon of the county at thin date will n
doubt go further toward Indicating how th
business of the county has been transacts
during the past three years than any othei
argument that might be presented.

Even admitting that some of these Item
are speculative In value , although th
shrinkage for twenty years averages le >
than 10 per cent. It can not ba honestly
shown that the financial affairs of the
county have been mismanaged during- the
patt three yean , for no such result could
have been attained except through careful
and businesslike management , especially xo
when It U observed that the levy has been
reduced S.114.S06.C1 slnco 1893.
In proof ot the fact that economy has
been practiced In every branch of the
county government where possible , I wlsn
to make a few comparisons from the lact
three years alone.

Comparison has been made bore only on
those Items where there should bo no great
variation In the amount used or the price
paid , except that In the showing on those
article's need at the poor farm and In these
this statement docs not Indicate all the
saving , because of the fact that the number
of Inmates Is much greater now than In
1892 and 189.1.
Attention Is called to the comparative
est of caring for the outdoor poor In
nether part of this statement.
With these suggestions I submit this
tatoment to the most careful Investigation
every taxpayer , fully convinced that It
ot only reflects credit upon the admlnlstra-
on , but that It shows the true condition ot
10 nuances ot the county to be In the best
ondltlon that they have ever been.

That the credit of Douglas county still
maintains that high standing which It has
always had In the financial world la evi
denced by the fact that even in a time of
the greatest financial distress the last issue
of funding bonds at1V4 per cenl
found eager purchasers and wore easily sold
at a premium of $000 or a shade
more than % per cent premium. Such a
showing when the financial tide is at Its low
est ebb , and when only those investments are
sought for which are known lo be gilt edgei
ought to be a pride alike to every citizen of
the county , as well as to those who adminis
ter Its public affairs.
In closing this department of my last an
nual report I feel Justified In adding a few
suggestions , the result of my observation
and experience obtained tn four years service
In this position. That some change must
bo made In the law relative to assessments
and taxation ao far as It relates to this
county Is patent to every citizen who has
taken the trouble to Investigate our present
conditions. A law which permits such glar
ing Inequalities in the assessment of prop
erty as are each year presented In the re
turns made to this office ought to be wlpec
from the statute books of every civilized
community at the first opportunity , but It Is
a fact , however painful to admit , that our
legislatures are not always permeated will
that true democratic spirit that seeks to do
the most good to the greatest number , and
therefore It Is often the case that measures
of the greatest public Importance fall. Eacl
session of the legislature adds new expense
which the authorities are expected to pro
vide for and assume , but It has not occurred
to this body that It was necessary to make
so mo provision for means to meet all these
Increasing obligations. Three items ot ex
pense alone In this county absorb one-half o
the general fund , to-wltr The district court
the county hospital and the care of outdooi
poor. Two of these departments are es
pecially provided for by law , and the third
In addition to law. Is sustained by an In
creasing popular demand that every corn
inunlty should care for Its poor. An exam !
nation of the records In this olllce will show
that the management of these departments
has been upon an economical basis during
the last four years and vet the natural In
crease In the volume of-business has been
sufficient to absorb nearly If not quite one
halt of the entire levy , thus leaving for al
the other requirements of this fund a sum
Insufficient to meet the demands made upon
It , thereby producing the very unsatisfactory
result of carrying over at tha end of tin
year a large amount of unpaid bills to bi
cared for by the next levy.
Such a system of financiering- not onlj
unsatisfactory , but tends to produce the wors
pf results In this , that while the official terms
are short , as they are under our law , th
opportunity Is open to contract debts for th' '
next administration to settle.
It must therefore be apparent that radlca
changes are needed In our revenue laws.
My experience has convinced mo that wi
need other modlficatfonsf and revisions In oui
statutes and I have endeavored to use in )
Influence to bring about come of the mos
needed changes , but through lack of encour
agement and misconception of the motive tha
Inspired the effort little has been accom
pllshed.
CHARITY.
Notwithstanding1 that the applications fo
relief In this department during the past yea
reached the hlghe.it point known , yet th
county is able to make a very aatU'factor ;
showing as compared with former years.
Without doubt this department has re
celved Its severest demands during the pas
two years , and the officials In charge lee !
forward with the hope that improved condl
tlons in the field of labor will material !
lerf&e ? . the strain upon the county.
The eame system of distributing relief ha
been In vogue that was adopted some tw
years since , and it has demonstrated it
merits over any other method In the resul
shown.
Every effort has been put forth to the en
that no worthy applicant be denied , but :
would ba Impossible to investigate carefull
Into the merits of every application with th
limited force on hand.
With a view to reducing the number o
able-bodied applicants to the lowest posslbl
number the commlsslonera determined t
adopt a labor test , and In February openo
their books for the application of those wh
were willing to work , and thereafter refuse
assistance to any able-bodied man who falle
or reftued to report when offered employ
ment. The extent to which those among u
seeking employment were reduced during : lb
past year In evidenced by the fact that I
about four weeks more than 1,200 applied
tlons were received from married men vh
were willing to work one week at a tlmo a
15 cents per hour , often in the went kind * o
weather , and receive their pay In the itip
piles disbursed by the county. In this wa
the county expended eome 13,000 , anJ wbll
It fell far short of receiving full value ( o
the money expended , owing to the unf&vor
able conditions under which this labor w
performed , yet It served to determine th
character of these applicant * end th * ox
tremlty to which they were reduced.

It should be borne In mind that In arriving

atlon , drugs , etc.- are Included , not because
hese Items are nit chargeable to the appli

ml because the same rule la applied In ar
riving ut the cost In those years prior to

FUHL-i
The method of dispensing fuel the last year
deserves special mcjjtton.at this time. Inas
much ns It has proved a means of great sav-
ng to 'the county. ' '
During the winter -months the demand for
coal Is very heavy a.nd has heretofore boon
lurnlshed upon orders dtjawn on the dealer
with whom the county h'eld a contract , the
jrlces for which ranged us follows :
JS92. 1S93.

Inlf-ton lots . , . 225 210
QU.xrtcr-ton lots . . ' . . . . . . 12. ) 1 2i
Inasmuch as the orders usually called for
half or ( iuarter-tol""ldt3 "the average pries
paid was $1.50 per ton-'in' 1892 and $4.20 per
tonIn 1S93. . i ' > . . . '
Uellevlng that It was possible to redr.ce the
cost materially the committee on charity re
solved to try the experiment of operating this
department , and to that end arrangements
were made to purchasa coal at wholesale and
distribute It under their direct supervision
Under this arrangement 2,924 tons of coal
were purchased and dispensed during the
year ending June 30 , 1S95 , at the following
cost :

It appears therefore that this system has
effected a saving of more than $3,000 upon
the amount of coal delivered In addition to
the cost of establishing the yard and not
counting 206 tons of screenings worth $2.10
per ton , which were taken out of tha ecu'
purchased , and used at the county hospital.
Deducting this and the cost of establishing
the yard and the net savins ; for thin year
over the 1893 contract Is $4.273.30.

About the first action of the South Side
Republican club at Its meeting last night
was to declare that the citizens' movement
was a dead duck , and that It would bo a
waste of time and words to talk about It.
The. club then proceeded to waste about three
hours' time In discussing the movement.
Atter the preliminary business had been
disposed of President Redflcld announced
that the hall was choked up with Rood
rpcakcrs , and he was certain the club would
like to hear a little of the eloquence. Israel
Frank was the first speaker , and ho simply
rose to remark that ho hoped none of the
speakers would tackle the money question
and get corked. There was an abundance
ot material In the local Hold , and ho wanted
the attention directed that way. Ho had
no Interest In national affairs , but wanted
It understood that ho was In the local fight
tip to the neck , and that nothing but straight
goods went with him.
At th ? conclusion of Israel's little speech
Colonel II. C. Akin was Introduced as a ciu-
illdato for the republican nomination tor
clerk of the courts. Colonel Akin made a
neat speech. In which he spoke words of
encouragement to the members of the club.
He felt sure that the republicans would
unite for the coming campaign and would
be able to win a victory In face of any com
bination of democrats , citizens' movement
or any othsr combination opposed to true
republicanism. If m'en of good character
were nominated by the republicans there
would be no question but that the ticket
would be elected from top to bottom.
WILLING TO SUCCEED IREV.
Charley Unlit , candidate for county treas
urer , came into the hall about that time , ac
companied by 1C. E. Zimmerman , a fellow
employe of the county treasurer's office , and
also a candidate for Irey's shoes. Unltt
was called for , and at the first attack
knocked Israel Frank's Injunction Into sev
eral kinds of a cocked hat. Charley had
fixed up his speech on national Issues and
had given his thinker n temporary vacation ,
and no man with less consideration than
Frank would expect or ask him to get up
a siu.ch on purely local Issues on such
short notice. So the speech on national
Issues was uncorked. It was a gem of Its
kind. Unltt was pleased , for ho said so , to
see the republicans of the First and Second
wards getting together , "h'cager for the
fray" and laying the foundation for battle
this fall that would be only a skirmish
preparatory to the great republican victory
that would redeem the country in 189G.
Then he went on to tell about the years of
democratic misrule. That party when It
came Into power had found a land flowing
with milk and 'oney , filled with 'appy 'omes ;
where the 'appy laughter of tha children
of laborers and mechanics was 'eard In the
land. That party had filled those 'appy
'omes with woe and the land with "desolu-
tlon , " where once thera had been 'appiness
and prosperity on h'every 'and. He was
glad to see the republicans preparing for
the h'avalanche that was coming one year
'ones. He got Into line under the Frank
resolution by declaring against cedar block
pavements and predicting n republican vic
tory In the local fight. Then Charley wiped
the perspiration from his think tank , filled
his plpo and settled down to enjoy the meet
ing.A
A new recruit to the club , a recent convert
from the populist ranks , Jedge I. S. Hascall ,
was Introduced for a few words. It was un
kind for an unknown to toke advantage of an
opportunity at his first appearance before a
republican club to consume so much time ,
but .ledge Hascall's few words lasted for
something like an hour. He professed some
knowledge of city affairs , and gave It out
cold that the citizens' movement would not
poll 200 votes. He said that there were but
two classes of people In the movement , kick-
era and fools , and designated President AVel-
ler as the chief of the latter class. Ho was
sure that the republicans would not want any
softer snap than to beat the combined forces
of the democrats , populists and republicans
who were In favor of the citizens' movement.
Then lie talked and talked , dealing out per
sonal nbuso of the men who have espoused
the citizens' movement , took them up In
dividually , called them thieves , boodlers ,
blackmailers and blatherskite politicians ,
and wound up with some smutty stories that
did not go down well , even with the claquers
who had cheered his abuse of better men.
WENT OFF HALF COCKED.
Then Mr. Zimmerman was called out. Ho
was primed for the occasion , but got a bad
start. He ran In a little pleasantry about
wishing that he had brought a fatted calf
with him to welcome Hascall back Into the
republican fold. His Joke did not get a
smile. Then ho tried an easier one. Ho
said he was In favor of a movement of citi
zens , but was not In favor of a citizens'
movement. This was too deep , too , and
Zlmniy tried to swim out. He wanted to ex
plain that it was the movement of citizens
in getting out of the citizens' movement that
he was In favor of. Ilascall has a good deal
of the milk of human kindness In him and
when ho gave the orator the glad hand the
crowd took it to be all right and Joined In
the applause , and Zimmerman was himself
once more. He said the republican party had
an arch traitor In its ranks and he wanted to
go out and meet him at once and settle him
for all time. Ho was simply death on arch
traitors. He was a republican himself , and
had a letter from his old father telling him
that he would disown and disinherit him If
he ever deserted the republican party. II
was opposed to being disowned and more
strongly opposed to being disinherited , nnc
therefore there was no danger In the repub
lican party losing his services until after It
was too late for the will to be changed. Ho
got really enthusiastic toward the close ani
said he hoped that ho might not be able to
lower his right arm.
Just then It. W. Gibson arrived and the
applause that was given him left Zimmerman
speechless with his right arm still above his
head. He left It there. After the meeting
a reporter learned that ho was going to ex.-
preis the hope that he might never ba able
to lower hts right arm If ho ever deserted
the republican party. Ho was then allowed to
temporarily lower his right arm.
Same misguided Individual then dlscov
cred Major Miller In the audience and callci
upon him for a speech. The major frankly
admitted that he had neb coma to the meet
Ing to make- speech , but had come for thi
purpose of securing material for a speech tha
ho proposed to make before a club In anotlie
part of the city. Dut since the club In

II. W. Gibson handed his hat to IIasc.il ! nt
the first call of his n.imn. and thrn had to bo
coaxed a little bcforu ho would talk. Ileforc
ho got through tome of the foreign-torn mem
bers of the club were sorry that ho had boon
coaxed nt nil. He was certain tb.it Itva * it
waste of words and time' to discuss the citizens'
movement , but hi > would waste- llttlo time
just for luck. He wanted the republicans of
Nebraska , Iowa , Colorado , Missouri and n
few other states and territories to rise ju ono
man and rcfuso to any longer patronize the
editor who had built up a great property
and n great building through the patronage of
republicans. Ilo silil he wan In earnest , and
said his patronngo had been withdrawn , and
ho wanted hla example to bo followcJ. Then
he got Into deep water on the 'arlff question
nil swam out to get Into the mire on the labor
uostton. Ilo wanted the national l.iws so
mended that no foreigner could land In thlt
ountry without ho had $500 In cold rash In
ila pocket and a HI < o > amount for c.ich inpin-
er of his family. Ilo went on In that strain
ntll ho got a hunch from Hasc.il ! to swim
ut , and concluded by urging thp members of
10 club tn support a straight republican paper
lat ho named. It was straight goods , for
Ibson would vouch for It. As If further on-
orsemcnt were needed. Charley Unltt came
ut and added his voice as a canvasser for
ho sheet of Gibson's choice , and then thorn
as nothing more to bo said on the question.
John Duller closed the spocchnuklng by
illlng attention to the need of reform In the
xpenses of the flro and poReo departments ,
lo claimed that the expenses of those dcpart-
icnts were beyond all reason and demanded
n Investigation of the facts.

djourned for two weeks.
