I December 14, 1899. THE NEBRASKA. INDEPENDENT. I t School Apportionment On the 5th instant the state treasurer certified to State Superintendent Jack son tnat tbe gum of f292,883.5 was in the temporary school fund available for distribution to the several counties. By reason of the neglect of one county su perintendent, however, the, apportion ment will be delayed several day-. au '. perintendent Jackson usually makes the apportionment within a few hours after he receives the treasurer's -certificate, and he feels greatly disappointed that . through no fault of his the apportion ment must be delayed. V The certificate shows that the total sum was derived as follows: ' State school tnx $77,333 72 law et on rales of Kliool land NMiW m t Rentals on leased Kchool land 53,354 31 .1 Interest on sules of saliue lands l.5 (K) Rentals on leased saline land l.B'-fl (Kt Interest on V.

It was abnormally largo be cause of the very large amount of money received from interest on sales of school lands (8200,903.39) which was nearly 150,000 greater than ever before, and over $132,000 greater than in December, 1899. ' It may be stated that this item will prow less year by year, inasmuch as holders of sale contracts pay off their in debtedness to the state and receive tit to the land contracted for, thus stopping further interest. . There are four items which make up the bulk of every school apportionment: state school tax, interest on the invested permanent school fund, interest on school lands sold, and rentals on leased school lands. . The following tables show that the receipts of state school tax are about the same each year; that interest on investment varies but little, because the rate is being decreased nearly as fast as the investment grows; that inter est on lands sold decreases every year; and that rentals on leased lands are in creasing slowly, the year 1897 being ab normal, becauhe a republican commis sioner of public lands had allowed the rentals to go uncollected for several years. It mny he taterl t hat a normal scnool apportionment will, in the future, be about 8275.000 to 1300,000 for December, and 8300,000 to $330,000 for May. STATE SCHOOL TAX. May, 197 Dec, 1MI7 May, tm....' Ic, 1XH May, lNisi Drc, law turned into the state treasury then. Such a course meant less work for the state treasurer and bis office force, but it also meant greater hazard, for county treasurers are human and liable to err; and the records show that the state failed to receive a large amount ot money by reason of the defalcations of county treasurers. Then, too, under republican rule, state officers collected fees from time to time, but turned them over to the state treas urer about once a year; sometimes not so often; and sometimes not at all. But since the supreme court's decision in the Moore case, all fees must be paid in ad vance to the state treasurer. Under Treasurer Meserve's adminis istration of the state treasury he requires the treasurers of fifty-two counties to remit all state funds in their hands every thirty days; treasurers of thirty counties to remit every sixty flays; seven every ninety days; ana tiooKer county s treas urer is given six months. The effect of, this wise policy is to lessen the risk of defalcations by county treasurers, and it results it a large sav ing in interest on outstanding genetal tuna warrants, by reason or the more frequent turning over of state money But it makes nearly five times as much work to be performed in the stale treas urer's office, compared to republican methods. From the year 1875 to January, 1897, republican treasurers issued 0,25i re ceipts, or about 298 per year for twenty one years. From January 7, 1897, to November 30, 1899, a little less than thirty live months, Treasurer Meserve has is-ued 7,740 receipts, or about 2.G52 per year, nearly nine times per year as many as under the old regime. The clerical work required in handling and accounting for state warrants is not materially different from former times except ihat under Treasurer Meserve's manuyement the calls are more frequent, but not so large. Each warrant must be paid, handled, posted, cancelled, and filed away in any event. if 11 fusionists and 110 republicans did not vote for supreme judge. Another example: Nemaha county casta total vote of 3,389. ilolcomb re ceived 1,(552; Keese, 1,316; and 421 did not vote for supreme judge. The aver age vote on eight fusion cnndi fates for county offices is 1 595; hence, Ilolcomb runs 57 votes ahead of his ticket The average vote on eight republican cnndi dates is 1,610; hence Reese runs 2M bf hind his ticket. Now, assume that 57 republicans voted for Ilolcomb; that lenves 237 of Reese's deficit as republi cans who failed to vote the head of the ticket; but there are still 184 "silent" voters to account for. StiDDOse we sav half fusionists and half republicans. Then the total of 412 would be divided into 92 fusionists and 329 republicans. $500 Reward.

Fre quently county treasurers made no re mittance until annual settlement time, and the whole year's collections were Failed to Vote A careful analysis of the vote in 48 counties seems to show that in those counties 4,771 fusionists and 7,3445 : publicans tailed to vote lor supreme judge. ' The total ballots cast in these counties are 12,117 greater than the com bined vote of Ilolcomb and Reese, but in the analysis no account was made of the prohibition vote. Having no candi date for supreme judge, it is likely that a large portion of the prohibition vote was "silent" on the head of the ticket, but as this party had no county ticket except in Lancaster and Holt counties it is difficult to make even a fair guess as to what proportion of the prohibition voters expressed no choice for supreme judge. Based on the figures above, the 1G.721 men who did not vote for supreme judjre might be divided as follows: Fu.-'ion, ;,G74: republican, 10,017. This, of course, is not taking into account the 5,f!!)5 cnen who voted for Smith, the prohibition candidate for regent. About 7 per cent of nil the voters failed to vote for su preme judge; hence perhaps 15 per cent of the prohibitionists voted for neither Reese nor Holcomb or. say, about 855 in all. Then the "silent"' vote might be divided thus: Fusion, (1,217; republican, f),;il); prohibition, 855: total, 10.721. In arriving at the figures tirst given, the following examples will explain the method: Fillmore county cast a total vote of 3.IV58. Holbomb received 1,900; Reese, 1,578: and 151 did not vote the head of the ticket. What proportion of that 151 is fusion? Let us see. The average vote on eight fusion candidates for county offices is 1.U14; hence Ilol comb runs 5 behind his ticket. The av erage vote of eight republican candi dates for county offices is 1,044; hence, Reese runs 03 behind his ticket. Now. divide 151 pro rata and it would seem as Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is a great medicine of intrinsic worth. It removes a cough or cold quickly and cures severe throat and lung affections in an aston ishingly short time. Sold by all drug gists for only 25 cts. .. A Constitutional Convention One of the things to be done by the legislature of 1901, and somethingof vital importance, should be provision for hold ing a constitutional convent ion. Nebraska has outgrown the constitution of 1875. just as hhe had in 1875 outgrown the constitution of 1806. One matter of par amount importance will be to amend that section of the constitution relating to the investment of the peimanent edu cational funds. By next year every stale bond will have been paid off, thus cut ting off one avenue of investment. United States bonds command too high a premium to be available. New county bonds are seldom issued now a days, and where a county re-funds, it most always happens that the permanent school fund owns the original issue. General fund state warrants have proven a good tem porary investment, but at no distant day the general fund will be on a cash basis - at least, it ought to be and then the last prop is gone. But for invest ment in general fund warrants thore would now Leo 'er 8800,000of idle money in the permanent school fund alone, and by January, 1901, Treasurer Meserve'will turn over more than a million dollars of general fund warrants hold as an invest ment. There is no good reason why these funds should not be invested in munici pal bonds and school district bonds of Nebraska. It is useless to submit a con stitutional amendment on the qestion or any other, for that matter aud a constitutional convention seems to be an absolute necessity. Let us agitate the matter.

LAKE STREET, CHICAGO. rvery session or tne legislature some enterprising member introduces a reve nue bill which passes alone by eas stages to final defeat in one house or the other. A commission should 1)6' ap pointed by the next legislature with full powers to investigate the subject of tax aion in every portion of the state, and with instructions to prepare a bill not later than January preceding the elec tion of a new legislature, and with au thority to cause its publication in at least one newspaper in each county, in order that the widest publicity mitrht. be given to the mil in all its details. Then each candidate for the legi.-lature would understand exactly how his constituents stand on the proposed measure and no difficulty would be experienced in ar riving at some definite, conclusion whon the bill came up for passage. Until a complete revenue bill is finally passed and becomes a law, some tempor ary measures should be taken to reduce the floating indebtedness of the state which is now in round numbers 1,700, 000. Every session of the legislature appropriations are made in excess of the possible amount of revenue to be raised in the two years, even if every cent of the current levies should be paid. The auditor's biennial report for 181(8 shows that there were SL',4:K),(Ki9.12 of uncoll ected general fund taxes due the state (mostly delinquent taxes, and a great portion delinquent many years). At the same time there were warrants outstand ing against the general fund in the sum of $l71.(i84.01, leaving $807,185.11 which our legislators and many others are pleased to call "net assets.' And with these "assets" in view, the legislature in 1899 appropriated money considerably in excess of what could poscibly be raised through a 5 mill levy for the gen eral fund in the years 1899 and 1900. Experience has bhown that delinquent taxes are not a very reliable as set. To be sure considerable is realized through their collection, but year after year the total amount of such taxes grows slowly but surely, showing that a large portion uncollected will never be collected. The state board of equalization should be authorized to levy not to exceed seven mills on the dollar valuation, and suflicient revenue would be derived to meet reasonable and proper appropria tions and gradually reduce the floating indebtedness. This would lie sufficient relief until a new revenue bill could be passed. Feel Jubilant The reform forces have a number of good reasons for feeling jubilant over the results of the recent election. Not only has the supreme court and the state university been wrested from republican control, and freed from ail the evils at tendant upon such control, but also the fnsionir-ts have a big majority of the county o Ulcers. In 04 of the larger and more populous counties, including Doug las and Ijancnster, the fusionists elected .'K7 county officers and the republicans got 1!C These figures do iot include county boards. In three of these coun ties the fusionists failed to elect a coun ty oflieer and the republicans got 'gfxise egged" in thirteen counties. THE NEW CONGRESS 8core of New Men Appear In Roth lioime and Senate Alruont a Revolution In Memhcrahip. Washington, D. C. December 8. (Special Cor respondance). The mem bership of the new congress in cludes more than a hundred brand new recruits in the house alone, who have never seen service in the national legis lature. California sends four new re publicans in a delegation of seven, which includes only one democrat The San Francisco member, Mr, Julius Kahn, is of Hebrew antecedents, of course backed by the De Youngs, of the Chronicle. He is a "substantial" lawyer in every sense or tne term ;m fortune, in bu-mess, and in person (weighing perhaps 20), smooth in ceo, uaru compiexionea, ana wmi a nasal appendage that can never be hid under a bushel. He succeeds Hon uames u. Mciiuire, democrat, who was defeated last year for the governorship of the Golden state. Hon. Russell J. Water, of Los Angeles, Hon. Victor II. Metcalf. of the Third district, and Hon, James C Beecham.of Modesto, complete tne list and give to California a stronger representation than she has had for many years. Pennsylvania sends a grandson of President Polk to the 5Gth congress Mr. Rufus K, Tolk, of Danville, in the Seventeenth district. Like his illus trious ancestor, he is a democrat of the first water, and succeeds Farmer" Kulp of Shamokin. Another new Pennsyl- vanian is Mr. James K. Polk Hull of Ridgeway, a lawyer of prominence at homo, who is expected to make his mark in Washington. Cant. Henry D, Green, of Reading, a democrat and a lawyer. was elected only lust month to succeed the lute woll known and much lamentod Daniel Ermantrout, who died suddenly in September. Captrin Green is on tho shady ride of forty, and a bacholor. Ho is also a rule graduate, has served in both houses of the state legislature, and during tho Spanish war org mined a vol unteer company, attached to the Ninth Pennsylvania regiment and was commis sioned its captain. A new republican member from the same state is Mr. Jo seph E. Thropp of lied ford, a rich busi ness man of fashionable tastes, who suc ceeds Mr. Josiah Hicks of Altoona. New York has made the greatest change of any state in its congressional delegation, which in the last congress em niaced six democrats and twenty- eight republicans. Now thore are eight een democrats and sixteen republicans. Out of the nineteen new men thirteen are democrats, chiefly from Manhattan and Brooklyn. Mo-tof them aro very wealthy -notably Col. Win. Astor Chan- ler, Mr. Jefferson M. Levy, Mr. Jacob Ruppert, and Mr. Daniel Riordoo. Col. Chanter is a particularly noticeable fig ure being one of tho youngest' and handsomest, as well as the wealthiest, of the "raw recruits," and a lively inter est is manifested in all his movements. His admirers tell a story, newly printed, I believe, of how tho honor- of states mnnshipcamo to him unsought. His district, the Fourteenth, though an old- time lanimany strong-hold, had been represented three terms by Lorauel Ely Qui.g, a republican, and Tammany was anxious to pick out a man who could de feat him. Mr. Amos J. Cummings, the newspaper writer and genial representa tive of the , Tenth District went to Chanler one day and suggested that he neconie a candidate for Congress. "ISot if I know myself," said Chanler, "the idea is absurd." Though a ral hero of tho recent war, he is a modest young follow. Mr. Cnmnnngs reasoned with him a good while liefore he could bo in duced to go in for his blushing honors. Mr. Cummings' clenching argument was this: " 011 are a 'military hero, Chan ler, and military heroes are trump this year. Yon can get the nomination hands down, if you will but signify a willing ness to accept. Take it, rush it. and sweep the field." Iteamelike a bugle call to the young'soldier., and ho did it. Kansas .-ends woven representatives, all republicans but one a populist Jere Simpson's successor, from the Medicine Lodge district, is Chester L. Long, Mr. Simpson's predecessor in tho last con gress, so that the two ha,ve come to be called "alternate" and the public are confidently expecting "Uncle Jere" back again, two years hence. Mr. Long is a prosperous lawyer, and a very lino look ing man. tall, dark and dignilied. Gov. Joseph J). Buyers of the Ninth Texas district, is succeeded by Mr. Al bert S. Ibuleson of Austin, the new man from the Lone Star state. He is one of the youngest members of the house, till, good looking, breezy in methods and manners. He comes of good old stock, from a long list of historic Uurlesons, identified with the progress of Texas from away back. He. too. is a lawyer and served his state several vears as prosecuting attorney. HiSpecial attention centers around the successors fit ex-aneaker Thomas B Reed, the venerable Nelson Dinglev of Ma ine, and tho late lamented "Silver Dick Bland of Missouri. Mr. Amos G. Allen of Alford, Maine, who succeeds Mr. Iwied, is a life long friend of the !at ler, since their school days together at Bowdoin college. For several yoars past Mr. Allen has been private secretary to Mr. Reed, and has become thoroughly well versed in the wants of bis district, He is of Scotch-Irish stock, soraowhat past middle age, with iron-gray hair, blue eyes, ruddy complexion and decid edly milder manner than had his friend "the czar." The late Mr. Dingley's suc cessor, from the Second Maine district, is Mr. Charles E. Lirtlefieid of Rockland, proprietor and editor of a newspaper in that town. Another new editorial con gressman is Mr. John Ii. Thayer, a dem ocrat, from Worcester, Mass., who suc ceeds Mr. Joseph M. Walker. 1 he Smith family is well represented in this congress, as everywhere else. There aro live of them in the house, three from the state of Michigan. From the Third Michigan district comes a new and picturesque Smith, Mr. Henry C, who is heralded as it great story teller and a jolly good fellow. Another new IVlichigander is a Methodist divine, Rev. Washington Gardiner. From the Fourth Tennessee district comes M r. C. A. Snod grass, a bright young lawyer, who suc ceeds, Gov. Benton McMillin. Iowa, lie sides having the new speaker, presents five nw republican members, among them tho powerful orators, Mr. Smith Mcl'herson, and Mr. Lot Thomas of Storm Lake. The late Richard P. Bland's sueeewsor is Mr. Dorsey W. Shackleford, of Jelfernon City, Mo., a wealthy owner of lead and zinc mines in Camden county. Only one colored man will oc cupy a seat in either branch of congress this year, and he repre-enls the Second, or "black district," of North Carolina. Oddly enough his name is White (George II.), and his home is in Tarboro. Fajinib Bruiham. War Expenses The cost of war docs not end with fighting by any means. It goes on and on for a hundred years after. Over 25, 000 applications have been received at the pension office as a result of the war with Spain and tho insurrection in the Philippines, G95 coming from tho nary. They are being received on an average of fifty a week, and the commissioner be lieves that when peace baa been restored the number will largely increase. Beginning to Kick The trusts have come down so hard upon the newspapers that even some of the mullet head editors are beginning to kick. Some of them have, as the boys say, got a move on themselves, down in Kansas and Missouri, and say they are going to "do something" about it They propose to call a great big convention and "resolute." The Kansas City Jour nal (red hot gold bug) prints interviews with George W. Martin, president of the Kansas press association, and W, Ii Painter, president of the Missouri press association, in which both announce the intention of urging extra sessions of their associations to take Hp the ques tions of the greatly increased cost of print paper and the steady decline of "foreign" advertising, such as baking powders and proprietary articles which nave pas-ed under the control of the trusts. Tho executive committee of the Kansas association will meet in Kansas City on Monday and the executive com mittee of the Missouri association will meet in St Louis, and both meetings are expecied to result in calls for conven tions.
