State Board of Equalization
The State Board of Equalization com
pleted its labors yesterday, having fixed
the rate of taxation for state purposes
upon the various counties. The grand
assessment roll for 1900 shows an in
crease in assessed valuation of all prop
erty as follows:
Total valcation. 1
Total valuation. 1"S,
..$171,747,592.75
.. 16SUO5,SW5.10

Inasmuch as the roll for 1900 has not
been completed, the exact amount of
fctate taies charged against the counties
cannot be ascertained; but it will be
considerably less than last year, because
the levy for sinking fund wa not made

se to
in the levy this year: General, school
and university. The general fund levy
was made the full limit of five mills on
every county, inasmuch as that will pro
duce (if all paid) only SS5S,737.96 taxes
or considerably less than half of the
amount appropriated from the general
fund by the legislature of 1899. The
university levy is by law fixed at one
million in every county. Hence, the only
possible attempt at equalization was
through shifting the school fund levy,
which cannot be less than half a mill or
more than one and one-half mills. That
this sliding scale of one mill is insuffi
cient to permit the board to do justice
in equalization, must be apparent to
those who have studied the question.
At the time the question of railroad
assessment was being discussed, those
who upheld the board in its action in
sisted that assessment of land values in
1900 would be lower than in 1899, and
this is proven now by an inspection of
of the. grand assessment rolls for the
years mentioned.

A decline of 2.8 per cent in improved
lands and 8$ per cent in unimproved
lands; yet it is doubtful if farm lands in
Nebraska have fallen in actual value.
However, the increase in total valuation
comes from an increased assessed valua
tion placed on personal property, which
in the past has never borne its share of
the burdens of taxation. And it is prob
able that personal property and lands,
with reference to each other, are more

Nance County Frauds
Editor Independent: If the delegates
to the middle of the road convention at
Grand Island from the different coun
ties of the state are composed of the
same timber as the one from Nance
county it will be the greatest aggregation
of soreheads and political renegades ever
congregated together.
The leaders of the gang here are fel
lows who have been chronic office seek
ers, one of them having failed in secur
ing a nomination for the office of county
treasurer, one having failed in securing
the nomination for county clerk, before
populist conventions here, and another
one of the gang having been discharged
from a state institution by ex-Governor
Holcomb.
They have knifed the ticket every fall
for two or three years and now with two
or three others who for the pleasure of a
free rfde on the railroad they have in
duced to accompany them, go to Grand
Island for the purpose of putting up a
state ticket in hopes of deceiving a few
.honest populists and thereby electing
the state, ticket.
The populists of Nance county will
not be deceived by such fellows as will
go to this convention, riding on trans
portation furnished by the treasurer, of
the republican campaign fund, but will
roll up the usual fusion majority this
fall. Popclist.
Fullerton, Neb.
Popular at Home
After an energetic and well conducted
campaign - by his friends, Theodore
Griess, county treasurer of Clay countyt
was triumphantly nominated by accla
mation by the fusion conventions in Lin
coin last week, for the responsible posi
tion of state auditor of public accounts,
one of the most important offices in the
state house. This recognition of Mr.
Greiss' excellent qualities as a public of
ficial is not only very gratifying to him
self and to his -f rtends, but is also a mat
ter of congratulation to the fusion forces
and to the people of the state of Ne
braska as well, ' because his fitness for
the position for which he has been nomi
nated is most marked, and is admitted
by all who are acquainted with him and
with his work as county treasurer of
Clay county. I .
As was stated in this paper .several
weeks ago, when Mr.. Griess candidacy
was announced, his private character is
without spot or blemish, and his honesty
and integrity unquestioned, by even his
most bitter political opponents. His
steadfastness -to populist principles is
unshakable, and in his duties as auditor
he will always be found first upholding
the dignity and honor of the great state
of Nebraska, and, second, so conducting
himself that the party to which he owes
his election will never have cause to re
gret its choice.
His nomination strengthens the state
ticket; and his election will be a credit
to the party. Clay county is proud of
Mr. Griess and his character.. Let us
show our pride by giving him a rousing
majority, and also by seeing to it that
the rest of the fusion state "ticket and
the congressional, senatorial and county
tickets receive a big majority in Clay
county. Clay County Patriot.

The Bureau of Education Sending
, Out British Documents to In
... fluence the Election v
Cauglit in the Act English" Anti-Bor
Tracts Mailed by the Dfparmrnt
Clerks at Washington
Washington, D. C. July 24. Editor
Independent: All . Washington demo
crats are startled. There was wrath in
the eyes of men about democratic head
quarters at the Metropolitan hotel yes
terday and today but one subject is dis
cussed in the hotel lobbies. Represen
tative Richardson, the chairman of the
democratic congressional committee, had
sent his clerk to the Bureau of Educa
tion, requesting certain documents all
decrying the cause of the Boers in South
Africa, which were furnished him,
Chairman Richardson read the docu
ments through and carefully stowed
them away in his roomy desk, and pre
pared a statement for the press in which
he said that the committee had dis
covered a smooth lit!le trick that was
being perpetrated by the republican
campaign managers. The charges are
of a very serious nature, . politically
speaking, and involves the employment
of clerks in the Bureau of Educatin for
the disbursement of Anti-Boer, or Pro
English literature, to the school teach
ers and. others in the middle west, where
there are many doubtful states in this
campaign. The following statement
was issued by Chairman Richardson:
"By secretly circulating English liter
ature stating England's case against the
Boer republics in South Africa, the ad
ministration has become the partisan of
England and the enemy of the Boers,
and is guilty of a most serious offense.
For quite a number of days the employes
of the folding-room of the Bureau of
Education, which is a part of the Inter
ior department, have been busily engaged
in sending out a large mass of pamphlets
and leaflets, issued by the Imperial
South African Association, 66 Victoria
street, Westminster, S. W. (London.)
There was the strictest secrecy main
tained by the bureau handling this lit
erature, which is quite natural, as it is a
crime against all law as well as decency.
The strictest secrecy was also enjoined
on all employes of the bureau, who, it is
needless to say are republicans, and
when the commissioner, Prof. W. T.
Harris, who himself inaugurated the
work, left for Europe several days ago,
he ordered his private messenger to nail
up the box each night and keep out all
intruders after the work had been
finished for the day. One former em
ploye who was in the habit of visiting
his old place, called in the office, and,
picking up some of the literature, asked
what it was. He was quite roughly
handled by the foreman of the . folding
room, who told him, "It's none of your
business what these pamphlets are, and
furthermore, it is the orders of the com
missioner that no one be allowed to
handle them." Just to think. The em
ployees of a government, whose admin
istrating powers has been denying, that
even an "understanding" existed be
tween England and herself, sending out
literature against a struggling republic
The pamphlets are seven in numqer and
are as follows, (copied from Post:)
"First The British case against the
Boer republics.
"Second 'Letter to Senator Hoar on
the Transvaal war, by John Bellows.
"Third 'Boer and blacks.'
"Fourth 'The treatment of the Cape
Boers by the English government, and
the treatment of the English by the Boer
government.
"Fifth 'The witness of the churches.'
"Sixth 'The future of South Africa.'
"Seventh 'Essentials of sentiment.'
"All thsse are published by said Im
perial South African Association. Every
package contained each of these publi
cations." The administration, by thus prostitut
ing the Bureau of Education, which,
more than all others should be free from
political intrigue and partisan service,
has committed a serious violation of the
law.
Government employees have been em
ployed to perform this work at the ex
pense of the government, though it is
stated that some one else has furnished
the stamps to carry these pamphlets
through the mails.
But this is not all. The administra
tion by defending England's action and
condemning that of the Boers, show that
its pretensions of neutrality in this de
plorable war were utterly false; and that
it has really sympathized with Eng
land from the beginning. This also
explains why the administration has
permitted England to do man things
that should have been resented,
being violations of international law and
injurious to the cause of Boers, as for
instance the seizure of American arti
cles, not contraband of war, the pur
chase of war materials here by Great
Britain, etc
It also confirms the charge that the
administration has a secret understand
ing with England. These English argu
ments used by the administration, have
btfen controverted by . the Boers, and
others and they are all based upon the
assumption that the English queen is
not only the suzerain, but actually the
sovereign of the two republics, which as
is well known she is not.
Chairman Richardson was asked if
these statements were true.
"Yes, absolutely true," he replied.
"Not one word of the statement will be
denied by any one. I have the positive
proof of every fact stated, and they will
not be controverted."
Such has been made of this question
here in the national 'capital that Mr.
Lovick Pierce, who is chief clerk of the
bureau of education, since the discovery
has been'made, fearing that there should
be something politically - made of the
facts gave out this interview:
"I regret," added Mr. Pierce, "that so
much is being made out of what " was
supposed to be an entirely harmless pro
ceeding. If Commissioner Harris had
ever seen the documents and knew what
they were I am certain that he would
never have allowed them to be mailed
from the building occupied by the bu
reau nor have allowed himself to be a
party to their distribution in any sense."
Should he have allowed anything to
be distributed of ii he knew noth
ing? . . V

a shame that the American people, nine
tenths of whom, favor the Boers in their
just fight for liberty, should pay for the
employment of persons to send out such
vile stuff as this. A government depart
ment sending out literature furnished
by English societies, to influence the
coming election afid place "England's
friend" again in the presidential chair.
It has proven again that the republican
party is a party, of hypscricy. Telling
the world in its platform that "it hoped
for a conclusion that would be honor
able to both sides" and sending out anti
Boer literature to the school-mams to
influence their neighbor and the young
minds of their pupils to denouncing
highway robbery and inviting Dick Tur

NATIONAL COMMITTEE
National Headquarters Opened at the Lin
coln Hotel Secretary Edgerton
Arrives.
The populists are now lined up for
battle. Headquarters of the national
committee have been opened at the Lin
coln Hotel of this city, and Vice-Chairman
Edmisten and Secretary Edgerton
are ready to push forward the campaign
work. ,
Mr.' Edgerton arrived in the city last
Tuesday from Denver, Colorado, and
will remain here until the votes are
counted in November.
Senator Butler may open an office also
in Washington, but nothing has been
heard from him for some time. The pop
ulist forces lie in these western states
and the main part of the work will be
transacted in the Lincoln offices.
Mr.' Edgerton has kept in touch with
populism all over the country ever since
the nominations were made at Sioux,
Falls and brings cheering news of the'
progress of reform from the various
states.
In regard to the vice-presidency, Mr.
Edgerton, who has the official copy of
the proceedings at Sioux Falls, says that
there is a general misunderstanding as
to the action of the Sioux Falls4 conven
tion. That convention, as the records
show, nominated Mr. Bryan for presi
dent and Mr. Towne for vice-President,
and then passed the usual resolution giv
ing the national committee plenary
power to fill vacancies. Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Towne are therefore the candidates
of the party for president and vice-president
and the committee has no author
ity to take any further action at the
present time. Mr. Towne was notified
by the committee at its session in Kan
sas City of his nomination and he with
held his reply. He has sent no reply
since and undoubtedly has the matter
under advisement. The populist na
tional committee can do nothing further
until Mr. Towne signifies his intention
to them. If he declines, then the com
mittee will have plenary power to name
another candidate. That seems to be
the situation in regard to the vice-presidential
candidate of the populist party.
Mr. Edgerton is looking well. His
residence in the mountain country has
been beneficial to his health. He is as
thorough a populist as ever and will de
vote all his time from now on to the
work of the campaign.
