PLATFORM 'ADOPTED.
The platform as reportid by the com
mitted and adopted by the convention rends
as follows :
The Republicans of Nnbraska rcalllrm the
principles enunciated by the republican na
tional convention of isafi. and congratulate
the country upon the triumphant popular
endorsement of these prim-fries In the elec-
tlon of Wl'llam MoICInluy nnd Garret A.
Worcommond the tarllt IcKlslutlon onaoted
In a special session of congress nt the In
stance of President McKlnlcy OH the most
effective measure for vitalizing the patriotic
principle of protection to American Indus
tries , through which American manufac
turers arc enabled to compete successfully
with the Imported product of foreign Inbor ,
American woi'lclngmen arc afforded an oppor
tunity to secure employment at remunerative
wages and American farmers secure the
benefit of a market through Increased home
consumption. ,
We hull with joy the return of business
conllenoo - , llnnnclnl health , and better prices
far the product of the farm and factory In
every section of the country , since the elec
tion of a republican president and republican
connrcsp.
We tuko this first occasion to express our
abhorrence of the crimes committed by the
lain defau'.tlng state treasurer nnd tute
auditor , which prove their recreancy to re
publican morals and their departure from re-
iiubllcnn teachings , and \\e urge their speedy
proseoullon nnd trial , and If found guilty ,
their revere punishment. We also demand
that Immediate -Heps be tnki n to recover all
public funds that have been wrongfully dl-
vcrtoi. frnm the treasury. AVe condemn the
governor for railing to oxerol'f his preroga
tive In rciiulrlng the treaMirer to make nn
exhibit of nnd ncrount from time-to time for
the pub'ic funds In ht. custody , and by rea
son of tills palpable dereliction of duty he
cannot escape the reppom'blllty ' for the
treasury defalcations.
Wo deplore the discredit that has been
brought upon the state by the Ill-advlred
attempts of. the present ptate ndmlni'tratton
to array c.l.iss ngalnrt class for partisan
purposes , and to manufacture testimony to
show that our farmers fire paupers and that
the laws are unciiml | and Inadequate for
the protection of the Interests of the labor
ing man.
We rno't oariiert'y denounce the attempt
of. toe state olllclals In conjunction with a
maturity of the leg'slature at Its late srralon
to falsify the returns of the lust 'late elec
tion on the pr.iposoj constitutional amend
ment Increasing I lie number of Justices of
the supreme court. The reekles ? * < "lsrrgard
of law nnd contempt of ipubllc decency that
characterized the action of the governor and
the Joint legislative committee that pre
tended to recount ( lie bn'lots In their efforts1
to cancel nnd overturn 'by legerdemain an
overwhelming majority returned against the
amendment , nn-J 'o carry the same by star
chamber proceedings , are without precedent
in the political annals of the country.
HKGRBT RAILROAD RAPACITY.
We learn with extreme regret of the In
crease by the railroads of freight rates engrain
grain transported between C'hlc'tgo and the
seaports , and we call on the Interstate com
merce commission to Investigate thle ad
vance In rates and take rueh steps as will
jirevent the farmers anJ shippers of the
west ifroni the payment of unreasonable
transportat'on ' charges. ' We also favor snjch
Jimcndmcnts of the Interstate rommerce net
us will Kive the commltslon the power to
enforce Its own orders.
The heroic struggle of the Cubans to
oohiove ihclr Independence and secure the
li'.e.'nlngs of liberty and self-government
commands our warmest sympathy. We ex
press our abhorrence of the cruel warfare of
xtormlnatlon waged by Spain against the
Cuban Insurgents' , and we urge the fiieedy
Intervention of our government , before the
Island of Cubi Is completely devastated ,
.cither by according It belligerent right ? or
recognizing Its Independence as a free and
Independent nation.
We recommend the fidelity and efficiency
of Senator Thuraton , Congressmen Mercer
nnd Strode , In the discharge of their olllclal
duties and their loya'.ty to republican prin
ciples.
Wo heartily commend the attitude of our
representative * In congress toward com
binations of capital In restraint of trade ,
that stock In this or uny other way to con
trol thn price of the necessaries of Dfe ,
and that the attention of the voters * of
; Nchrasku lip called to the fact that the
only federal statute that seeks * to protect
ooiutnmein from the ravages of trusts was
indited by the Hon. John Sherman , our
present secretary of Plate , passed l y re
publican votes nnd signed by a republican
president , and has been miMtalnod by the
supreme court of the United State * .
We commend the steps taken by the ln t
congress to improve the effectiveness of
the Sherman anti-trust law , believing In
due time the executive department of the
present administration will lie able thereby
to successfully cope with all combinations ,
, thnt are in spirit or execution antagonistic
to these well detlned nnd cherished princi
ples lying nt the foundation of the republic ,

LINCOLN. Neb. , Aug. 20. ( Special. ) The
State Association of Republican Kdltora and
Publishers met this morning at the Llndell
hotel. The business transacted was mostly
of a routine nature , consisting of reports
from the oHlct-ra , election of new ones , and
general diecu&slcri of membership and rules ,
President F. 0. Simmons of the Seward
Reporter called the meeting to order'and
made a brief address , reviewing the work
of the past year. The advisory committee ,
lie said , had deemed It wtao. for the associa
tion to come Into clotc touch with the
republican state central committee , and had
selected Secretary M. A. Drown of thu Kear
ney Hub to work with and under the cen
tral committee. Mr. Ilrown came to Lincoln
during the last campaign that ho might
prosecute this work to advantage- and had ,
In reality , accomplished much more than ap
peared on the surface. He had forced from
them a recognition of the power of the press ,
though IhlH had not come until almost the
end of the campaign. The central commit
tee and other leaders had always depended
upon the country press for support , but had
never accorded It the position It deserved.
Mr. Drown and others , who had worked at
his direction , had won from them an ac-
{ nowlcdgment of Its Important position. One
feature of the conimlttcc'6 work was the
recommendation of Mr. J. W. Johnson to the
central committee as a competent writer for
the republican prees and hn ! letters have
since become an Important division of the
work of republican newspapers In the state.
All these details , not of great Importance
In. tliFtnsolvcft , hod , In the opinion of the-
president , paved the way for1 future success
ful campaigning. The speaker called the at
tention of the areoclatlon to the emblem of
rcpubllccti Journalism which had been
adopted at the winter meeting In Grand
Island last February. lie recommended that
It bo run In the columns of all the papers
of the association to advertise their mem
bership to their exchanges. In closing , the
president expressed a hope that In the dawn
of better times at hand , the republican ed
itors could do much to lift their party from
defeat and could mot help but share In the
general benefit.
The secretary , 51. A. Brown , then read
Ills annual report. It deals with the minutes
of the Grand Island meeting at which the
organization was effected , and with associa
tion affairs since then. The articles of fed
eration had at first been signed by thlrty-
ono members , which number had at the
present time been Increased to eighty-nine.
Tlio report was adopted as read.
The question of what constituted a mem
ber of the association was brought up and
caused some discussion. Some of those
present had retired from active newspaper
management , but wished to retain their
membership. It was in the end arranged
that a member should retain active member
ship until the meeting next after his retire
ment from the profession and for the ensu
ing year should hold honorary membership ,
at the end of which ho should no longer be
connected with the organization.
The association then proceeded to elect
ofllcers.V. . K. Dayton of the York Repub
lican and S. H. Hazee of the Curtis Courier
were nominated for president. Mr. Day
ton was elected. M. A. Ilrown was re-
electeJ secretary by acclamation.
The advisory committee , which consists of
the president , secretary and one from each
of the other congressional districts , was
elected as follows : First district , W. H.
Stowcll of the Auburn. Post ; Second district ,
L. . A. Williams of the 'Dlalr Pilot ; Third
district , A. N. Ladd Albion News ; Fourth
district , President Dayton ; Fifth district , J.
L. Stone , Mlnden ; Sixth district , Secretary
Urown.
The committee was authorized to submit
a draft of a constitution and bylaws'with
any other suggestions It saw fit. The asso
ciation then adjourned. About forty mem
bers were present.
ADLER MAY GO FREE.
Sam Acller. who shot Detective James
. ( lalone , according to common report , Is likely
to bo a free man within' a ehort time. It la
believed the case will be prosecuted In the
police court and that Adler will be bound
over. After he has been bound over , how-
over. It la expected that the case will be dis
missed by the county attorney. The reason
for thinking this action probable Is founded
jn the county attorney's Investigation of the
shooting and his conferences with the wlt-
ncosea of the affair. According to Mr. Mun-
ger , these witnesses practically agree that
the shooting was done while 'Malone ' waa
trying to get into the store on P street ,
although some of the witnesses are said to
bo willing to testify that Malone ceased try
ing to force open the- door and was walking
away when the bullet came after him.
In an interview on the subject , County
Attorney Munger said he did not want to
dismiss the case , but did not believe that
Idler could bo convicted by any impar
tial Jury , and that the trial would only coot
the county a lot of money for nothing. Mr.
Munger went on to review the evldcnco as
ho had heard It ; that Malone had taken hold
of both Mrs. Adler and Sam ami forced them
to got out of the other store ; that then Sam
went away to the other store , to which Ma
lone followed him and tried to break In the
door , and that then the shooting commenced.
Some of the witnesses are said to have told
Mr. Munger that they would have used a
revolver also had they been similarly placed.
Of couse , the technical defense , In case the
trial reaches the district court , will bo that
Adler was In fear of personal violence and
ehot at the detective to protect himself from
any possible assault.
The case was set for a preliminary hear
ing before Judge Waters this morning , but It
went over until tomorrow morning by agree
ment of the parties. Malone did not appear
nt the station. His condition Is improving
dally , but ho not very strong as yet.
SMALL BOY HORSE THIEF.
Little Willie Careen Is again In trouble , ow
ing to his confused ideas as to property
rights. Wlllla U only 7 years of ago , has a
little smudge of a nose and a very dirty face
as a general rule. His father Is an honest ,
hard-working man. and It la rather hard tu
determine ) where Willie gets his propensity
for stealing. A couple of weeks ago , AVllllo
got Into trouble for taking two horses and
buggies and for the eecond theft ho was
yanked Into the police station , He proceeded
to call the ofllcers all sorts of choice names
and threaten them with all varieties of evil
If they dldn'1 turn him out. The Judge talked
to him a while atid he promised to go home
and be a good boy , and leave other people's
horses alone. Yesterday he found John
Hunt's horeo and buggy standing on the
street , and he promptly untied the rig and got
In , Ho drove about all the afternoon , visit
ing the ehow grounds and other places. He
finally wound up at the watering fountain at
the northwest corner of the market square ,
Ho waa allowing tug here to drink ivben a
mn came along who knew the boy and also
recognized the rig. He asked Willie whose
rig It waa and received a short reply that It
was Ills father's , The man seized hold of the
brldlo to prevent Wllllo going on. Quick
as a wink the urchin jumped out the back
of the buggy and torp down tha street , paua-
Ing only long enough to place his right thumb
to his nose agitate ua ! fingers several times j
and yell derisively :
"Goodby , you old bloke ; goodby. " When
Willie was arredted before , he was told by
the court that ho would have to face a reform
schcol complaint If ho was brought in again
for stealing horses. His rather e ld that be
would consent to this arrangement , but
wanted the boy given ono moro chance. He '
will doubtless bo taken before Judge Cochran
as EOOII aa be Is arrested.

'roccvilliiK" of tin * Day
In Detail.
CIJEVEI..AND , Aug. 26. There was a largo
attendance of women and members of the
local bar at the National liar association
convention tills morning In expectation of a
dlnciuslon on the arbitration treaty which
had been promised. It did nut materialize.
Aa soon rs the meeting was called to order
President Woolworth introduced lion. John
W. Orlggs , governor of New Jersey , who
spokn .as follows :
An extended experience by personal par
ticipation In legislation according to the
American system , has led me to believe that
there Is no one thing In all the various de
partments c.f government or business that Is
carried on with less scientific or orderly
method than the making of law ? .
Whewvor legislative bodies assemble , are
found exceeding activity and willingness
to exercise the. fascinating power of law-
making. The proeesM of turning a mental
conception Into n law Is so simple and easy
In the ordinary state legtlaturo that law. *
are losing the sanction of solemnity ami
moral authority that they once posfessed.
Hesldcs the spirit of obedience n a patri
otic duty , there was In former days , a feelIng -
Ing of reverence and awe toward the body
of the law aa being the embodiment of the
wisdom of government Inspired by a very
high regard for the welfare of society and
protnulgntned only upon most careful and
mature consideration.
Nevertheless , It IH true that we have no
class of skilled legislators men trained to
coii'truet the laws as men are trained In nil
the arts and professions of too world. Kvery
other department of business , of trade , of
art , of commerce , has Its skilled and ex-
peilelued men , ItH engineers. Its electrlclaiiM ,
ltn statisticians , Us architects , Its dclgucrs.
Men of business enterprise have come uni
versally to recognize that every scheme of
construction and development hould be tin.
dertat < cii only under the guidance and ad
vice of those whose business It Is to furnish
expert and professional assistance. In the
construction of laws only Is this skilled as
sistance considered utineeesjnry.
If representative bodies like our state leg
islatures are unable to deal with entire suc
cess with all the complicated and subtle
UUPHllons that are presented for their con
sideration , how inueii lepst can It bo expected
that the masjie.1 of thn o ple would bo able
to do so ? Yet , wo limi HUIIC who seriously
propose to relegate legislation to the body
of the people , nnd by means of the sy. tcm
known as the referendum take the | Mpular
voice not through the people's chosen repre
sentatives , but from the direct votes of the
people themselves. This In to abamion the
system of representative government.
We do not want the system changed ; It Is
only neceKjiiry fiat our legislative bodies
should be controlled , restrained and reau-
lated by a proper sens ? of the solemnity
and responsibility that pertain to the power
they extiv'se ; that they fha'l learn to re-
ppect the wisdom of conservatism , to value
stability more than experiment.
Let us continue our labor * for uniformity
of law upon proper tcplcs , for simplicity of
procedure , for better legal education , for
International arbitration ; and nt the same
tlmo let us strive to Increase the spirit of
careful conservatism which In the hest
preservative of good , to cry a continual
alarm against trilling with the def-p laid
foundations of our Jurisprudence , and to
prwerve for our laws that sentiment of
reverence and respect which hltlierto have
so distinguished the Anglo-Saxon race.
Prolonged applausa expressed the interest
of the delegates In the paper , when Gov
ernor Grlgps concluded. H was auch an ex
pression of approval as has not been ac
corded to any paper.
AS TO AIIIIITHATION.
Contrary to expectation there was no dis
cussion on the arbitration question which
came next in order. The committee had
drafted a resolution which satisfied all dele
gates , they having slept on the question and
cooled off. Pohn Prentlss Poe read the re
port aa follows :
To the American Bar Association : The
cpeclal committee to which was referred the
report of the committee on international
' .aw , and especially the resolutions appended
to that ivport and the several amendments
proposed thereto , with Instructions to sub
mit to the association a resolution embody
ing their views as to the aetiou proper
to be taken by the association at this time ,
have considered the subject with so much
care as the limited time at their disposal
has allowed and respectfully presents a a
substitute for the resolutions of the com
mittee and for all the amendments thereto
the following resolution * :
Hesolved , That the American TJar associa
tion , renewing with emphasis the strong
declaration made by It at Its last annual
meeting In favor of the adjustment of con
troversies between nations by the medium
of enlightened International arbitration , ex
presses Its earnest hope that the efforts to
establish so beneficent a principle may not
in their general spirit and purpose be re
laxed and that the administration of Presi
dent McKinley will take such steps as may
be appropriate to negotiate Just anil liberal
treaties with foreign powers tor the accom
pllsbment of this Important result ,
Resolved , further. That a copy of these
resolutions , signed by the president and sec
retary of the association , be sent to the
president of the I'nlted States.
JOHN PHKNTISS POU , Maryland.
JUDGE E. H. SHURMAN , Chicago.
J AMISS H. HOYT , Cleveland.
A motion to send the resolutions to the
house and senate waa defeated.
At a meeting of the legal education sec
tion Henry B. Davis of Washington read a
paper on "Prlnfltlve Conceptions In Uelatlan
'to MoJern Law. " Ho said :
Assuming what I know to be the fact
that the members of the association are
fully enlisted in the effort to raise the
standard of legal education and to be alive
to the ordinary needs In that behalf , I may
yet fairly say that too much stress can
not be laid , and that enough stress is not
laid upon the science of the law us tin
outgrowth of man's social needs and quite
the most Important part of man's social de
velopments. How few there nro as yet who
do not feel that legal origins and principles
fully achieved their object and exhausted
their function In producing the great system
of Kngllsh law and Its equally great fellow
the Iloman law ; HO that today the student
of even more than ordinary attainment in
the Held of legal research ! quite prone
to think that the rene pilons on whl''b ' those
orlclns and primitive Institutions rest nro
to be considered as scarcely more than EO
many specimens gathered Into a sort of
herbarium of jurisprudence , to bo examined
from time to time only as fancy may rail
for some more or less Interesting and much
less tbiin scientific excursions to the Uu.il >
of legal nntlquarlanlHin.
Apart from their more nntlqunrlnnlsm ,
and literary value , there is for the student
a. rleep slgnlllcanco and practical bearing
in these primitive conceptions , and that
legal education- it la to justify its * name
and its avowed object , must do with those
conceptions certainly not lem than what
the average man of our law schools Is
thought to be doing In the way of equip
ment of the student for everyday purposes ,
not to Hay tlio superficial needs of these
who , for the much greater part , seem con
tent to acquire only so muoh as will enable
them , with the aid of easy-going examining
committees , to wrlto after their names the
well Bounding title , "Attorney nt I uw. "
John Finch of Indiana read a paper on
"Tho Law of Insurance In the Law School. "
He said :
The law of Insurance should be so taughi
In the law school that the graduates should
know the fundamental principles of the In
surance business In all ItH varying branches.
They phould know that the Interest of the
policy holders and the Interest of the com
panies are , In all respects , llcntlcal ; that
am- tax Ipvled nnd every unwarranted de-
clfMon draws upon the remaining policy
ho'.dors ; that the honest policy holder In the
end Is the sufferer , for like the farmer , he
"supports all. " The graduate of every law
school should be PO well Informed of the
purpose of the Insurance contract and should
so well comprehend Its present faulty con-
strudtlon , a so frequently announced , 'that
ho wll ! underrttand the contract and know
'iliow to write It so plainly that no cowl
can construe away Its Intended meaning.
That there la urgent neol for Insurance
lawyers In the Insurance otllccn * , especially
in the mu'rter ' of policy-writing , Is conclu-
nlvely proven by the- fact thut moro than
one-third of the caaey decided by the coutts
turn upon the construction of the contract ,
and In nearly all of these the construction
is against the companies. The courts way
that the policy did not mean what the
company Intended It to mean. It Heemn extremely -
tromely dlltlcu'.t. If not all but Impossible ,
for a policy-writer to express himself with
such clcarnem and dMInc" ) ? * * as will re
move all doubt as to the meaning Intended.

At a meeting of the patent law section an
address was delivered by Kdmnnd Wetmoro
of New York on patent law.
Prank F. Heed of Chicago read a paper on
"Trade- Censorship by Kimlty , " and he was
followed by J. II. IMymond of Chicago , who
advocated the eMabllfhtnent of a patent Uir
by act of congress. He proposed a board of
five members to examine all applicants for
admission to practice In the patent olllce.
Francis Forbes of Xinv York read a paper
in which h recited ! ? ) < > history of the move
ment for the protection of Industrial prop

and Forhe.1 were reform ! to the committee

UNIFORM STATH LAWS.
Thn standing committee- grievances and
law reporting and digesting and the special
committee on expression and classification of
the law and legislation had no report to
make. Thecommittee on uniform state law
submitted the following :
Thirty states and one territory have now
appointed commissioners on uniform state
laws , California nnd Arizona having joined
the conference during the past year. The
negotiable lustrumer' * a ! , copied subst.in-
llally from the Kngllsh not nn bills , and
notes , revised nnd recommended fur adap
tion by the conference of
last year , has become n law In the states
of Now York , Connecticut , Colorado and
Morlda. It has seen one branch of the
legl'lnture In several other states" , but f.illed
In the other brunch chlelly , as ban been
reported , that HUflle.leut lime had not been
given for the consideration of so Important
a measure. Its pasaso by the loading com
mercial states of the union will probably
load to Its general adoption.
The committee on federal code of criminal
procedure reported as follows :
Soon after their .appointment at th hist
meeting of the American Hnr association ,
an Interchange of vld.vs of the members of
the committee was sought aa to tOie best
methods of reaching the object * In view-
action by congress , dlroctly , or Indirectly ,
Initiating the forms In'urlmlna ! procedure
In the federal courts. Suggestions had born
received from quite n number of the United
States district attorney ! ' , but no report was
made In view of the fact that the president
hnl : recently appointed n commissioner to
revise and codify the criminal and penal
laws of the United Static , undir an net of
congress. The .same committee to which
was referred the question , reported that they
were of tihe. opinion that It was not ex
pedient to provide by law for the compensa
tion for counsel for nccii'cd persona on trial
In the United States courts in all caees , lull
that In Tnse. of persons IndVtod for crimes
punishable 3 > y Heath or Imprisonment for
life some provision of law shou'd be made
for the employment and compensation of
counsel for the defense , such as Is found Jn
siine of the state statutes. The rovisvd
statutes of the Unltc'i States provide for
the assignment of counsel In capital eases ,
not exceeding 'two , as the accused may de-
ylre , lint no prox'iplon Is made for the com
pensation of such counsvl.

of Gt to DC the delegate's to the republican

man of the state central committee , called
the convention to order , and after eulogiz
ing the policy of the national congnr.-i and
extolling President McKlnley's administra
tion , ho said :
1 have been severely crltlplred for what
some pronounce to be an unwarranted inter
ference In the preliminary contest In Haiti-
more city nnd other sections of the state ,
f claim It Is not only my rip ) V. but i
duty , occupying the i > osltlon 1 do , to exert
what InllueiK-e I have toward the end that
lit nominations be made und suitable prin
ciples enunciated for the guidance of the
feidibllcan party. It has been snld that I
wanted political places to p < iy political
debts. Jf by that it is understood that , nil
cither things being- equal , I would have ap
pointed a political friend In preference to
an enemy. I say yes , now and forever more.
In my Judgment when one gets the service
of his political friends anil falls to give
them recognition , he Is unworthy of trust ,
respect or confidence of any man , bo he
friend or foe. i '
The elements opposed to Wellington gained
control of the convention and Attorney Gen
eral Harry M. Clabaugh , chairman of the
committee on credentials , presemted a re'ao-
lutlon declaring the republican primaries
