street near their home and, from his ac

wait for her and she telephoned her par

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oot. 18. (Special.) Because
a statement had been published showing
the amount of money expended In perma
nent improvements and the history of the
state debt during the last two republican
administrations, a request has- been' made
that a statement be published showing the
amount of money expended on permanent
Improvements from 1895 to 1900 and the
amount of tha state's Indebtedness paid
off by the fusionlsts since 1895.
The floating debt of the state on No
vember 30, 1896, was 11,936,273.47, less Cash
In the treasury (after deducting expense
account) of S188.370.4S, leaving the actual
floating debt tl.747.9d8.02. The floating debt
of 1900 was $1,748,898.70 less cash In the
treasury of $105 769, leaving the actual
floating debt $1,621,688.08. To this must
be added, however, deficiencies to the
amount of 1182,736.97, making the actual
floating debt In 1900. $1,804,424. The fusion
lets therefore Increased the state debt
$56,520.98 from 1896 to 1900. The floating
debt June L 1904. was $1,982,457.45, the re
republlcans apparently increasing tha
floating debt during those four years
$178,033. But during the fusion years there
was spent 4n permanent Improvements
only $363,750, while during the last four
years of republican rule there has been
expended In permanent improvements
$606,063, taken solely from . the - general
fund.
The bonded debt of the state, which the
fusionlsts claimed to have wiped out, was
on November, 1896. $467,238.04. In 1900 there
was no bonded debt- But this, however,
was no fault of a fusion legislature, for
the reason that for years a separate and
distinct levy had been made by the State
Board of Equalisation to pay on this
bonded debt. Treasurer Bartley turned
Into this cash sinking fund $324,062.45. Of
this amount, $180,171.76 was tied up In the
Capital National bank,' where so fat as
any on knows, it still remafns. The bal
ance of $143,960.70 left by the republicans
was then applied on this bonded debt. The
fusionlsts also had the 189b levy, amount
ing to $103,640, to apply on the debt y
The levy of 1897 netted $107,000; the levy
of 1899 amounted to $98,0Ou. making a total
of $453,960.90, without the 1896 levy that the
fusionlsts used In wiping out the bonded
debt, for which they should receive' no
credit.
Incorrect Statements.
'An Investigation of the amount of money
spent in permanent improvements dur
ing these years, from 1895 to 1900, shows
that it is the republican party that has
given the people something for their
money. And In this connection it may-be
Interesting to know that the primers be
ing printed In the World-Herald in all
Instances are not to be depended upon.
According to the books In tho auditor's
office the appropriations made by the
legislature of 1897 was $2,512,881.81, which
Is just $177,000 more than the figures be
ing printed by the fusion papers. An in
vestigation of every item in the appropria
tion books shows this discrepancy. The
fusion legislature of 1897, at which time
there was a. fusion governor, appropriated
from the general fund $2,078,343.40. Of this
amount they' spent In permanent Improve
ments $131,060." The republican 'legislature
of 1899' appropriated from the general fund
$2,089,940.26 and of this sum $232,709 was
expended for-' permanent Improvements.
In other words, the republican legislature
made an appropriation from the general
fund only $10,000 more In round numbers
than the fusionlsts, yet at the same time
they spent $101,650 more in permanent Ira
provements. The legislature of 1895, which
waa renuhlican. anoronriated from the sen
ral fund $2,458,539.60, of which sum there
was spent for permanent Improvements
$141,055.
' Burkett la a Qnandary.
Congressman Burkett Is In a quandary
He doesn't want his name to -go on the of
ficial ballot as a candidate for the senate
and he doesn't know how to keep It off,
According to law there la only one way
his name can be kept off the ballot and
that way Is for him to file with the secre
tary of state his resignation as the duly
authorized nominee of the republican elate
convention. Mr. Burkett has not-signified
any intention of doing . that, though he
has notified the secretary of state that he
doesn't want his name on the ticket. Mr.
Burkett'a name was duly certified to the
secretary of state by the officers of tha
state convention.
The affair has -considerably embarasaed
Mr. Burkett's friends, who fear that
should he, without opposition, fall to se--
cure nearly unanimously the popular vote.
his prestige as a senatorial candidate would
be considerably weakened, while if he re
signs as a candidate those legislative can
didates who have been Instructed to vote
for him would be no longer bound by their
Instructions. They also feel that to have
his name on the ticket in4hls district as
candidate for both the senate and the
house may lose him votes for both place.
