SPEECH OP SENATOR WALL
His Address to the Republican
Club at Lincoln.
The following is an extract from
a speech I)} Judge Wall, delivered
Friday at tlie Republican Club ban
quet. and which appeared in Satur
day's State Journal. His address
was greatly applauded.
Mr. Wall said in part: All ns
tions are subjected to two different
contending forces On the one
baud, are those of the builders;
on the other hand, are those of
the destroyer. Along the highway
of empire, these forces combat for
the mastery. The history of our
country furnishes no exception to
this rule. Aud while the patriot,
with his face set towards the stars,
has built upwards towards the level
of his opportunities, the unpatriotic,
baa been filling faithfully the roll of
the destroyer. Their handiwork is
plainly visible in thetrainsof waste,
ruin and mouldering decay. For
saken temples bear witness, and the
whited sepulchers of the virtues and
ambitions of the people'show how
deadly the struggle, and how thor
ough the paralysis of the arms which
should have sustained the state.
“It is not my purpose to narrate.
History keeps the records of both,
and neither years nor books, nor the
waste of famine avail to extirpate
the distemper which has rioted in
the veins of the destroyers of em
pires
“And while the world saw that the
heritage ot trial of this fair young
nation was no stinted allotment, the
obstructionist pointed to these as
the unanswerable symbols of nation
al decay. The true statesman saw
it to be his duty to bieak the way
for the generations to follow, and
light the beacon tires which should
illume the pathway of country-loving
men and women.
“They saw that the hope of life of
our brave young nation was in the
pure sentiments lying at the hearts
of its men and women. And seek
ing to excite the world-life in their
veins to run at fever heat, as the
blood sap courses the arteries of the
athlete, they taught lessons of pa
triotism, of love of country, to the
sons and daughters of the republic.
The golden pages of this country’s
history have been written by the re
publican party. It has ushered a
strange new life force into the forest
of men and women that has stimulat
ed them to have a share in the work
of the great, seething world; a life
force unseen and unheard of before,
which saturated the world’s thought
with the color of their own.
“The republican parly, while up
holding the flag, has also sustained
the arms which have been working
out the purposes of life, until the
golden glow of promise not only
kisses the mountain top, but ilium
ines the valleys below.
“It lias been riilligent in wearing
away tbe world’s restraints aid in
lifting thousands of its burdens. It
has the good sense to know that a
nation can no more jive upon its
past than can political parlies In
season and out of season, it bus
stood for the upbuilding of the glory
of our beautiful country, aDd the
supremacy of ite blue tbig. It has
coined the key words of that grand
combination which have opened the
magaziues of American possibilities,
magnificence and glory; tbe key
words which have been made for tbe
perpetuity of our glorious country
aud tbe sacred liberties of mankind.
“Its history is more absorbing
than lomance; more enspiring than
poem or song. It has protectej the
rights of minorities, settled the most
perplexing questions of state craft,
civil and municipal procedure, and
been engrossed in commercial activ
ity, manufacture, transportation, en
larging tbe possibilities of the soil
by scientific agriculture, and among
all, it has held the inheirtance of tbe
poor and lowly as precious and sa
cred as are those of the crimson
clad scions of wealth.
“Never in tbe history of nations
has tbe birth of a country been
watched with such interest and con
cern as that of our own.
“But to-dav, she is the acknowl
edged queen of the western world,
the warder of the western hemis
phere.
“He who dreamed a dream
of self-forgetful,” saw not the length
of day, nor the golden sunshine in
store for this beautiful country.
Under the principles of republican
ism. the glory of our country has
shown as it illuminated by the red
blaze of a new planet, lit by the
gods to reflect its splendor. Yet
through ail how olten has it become
the lot of republicans to roll away
the some from the sepulchre of
American liberties as laid to rest
by the delicate touch of diplnmicy.
“It has been the faith which men
have bad in their great just govern
meet which has stimulated them to
build an empire. A country where
every man is a prince, and every
woman is a princess. A country
where every man is a citizen, a sold
der, a statesman. The possibilities
of such a country can never be fore
told. A land where its loving peo
pie stand in the pure sunlight of
American possibilities, where the
spirit of freedom rides on ttie wings
of every wind. We have caught
the sunshine in the brick and mor
tar of this splendid fabric. We
have twined it with garlands of free
dom aroumi the noblest men and
women ever kissed by the sun. We
have bound state unto state in the
grandest federation of freedom ever
erected for the shelter of man. And
while each state stands distinct like
the mighty billows, yet they are one
like the fathomless sea.
••You will pardon my referance
to the prince of men and rulers,
Theodore Roosevelt, The adopted of
the West. You will tell your sons
in the glorming, the story of his
pearless leadership, the storming of
the heights of San Juau. How b\
the splendor of his deeds he leaped
at a single bound, to be caught in
the fond embrace of a loving na
tion. The patriotic voters of our
country will again show their appre
ciation of his lofty citizenship. They
will, in the near future, wherever
may be found, call together their
country’s cohorts, the toilers from
the work shop and fields, the delver,
the soldier, the scholar, the farmer,
the painter and the cowboy, and
lined up in solid phalanx of battle
with their helmet* and spears to the
front, booted and spurred, they will
ride with him again into power
in 1904.”
Judge Sullivau is dubbed a coward
and a traitor to his party, by the
Times-lndependent, because he re
signed in favor of his former law
partner, a republican, and presum
ably because the judge, by this act,
has placed a few district court legal
publication fees in the reach of the
republican newspapers of the dis
trict. Still, this ought not to worry
Brown, because we have just such
men in all parties and he is getting
his full share of the rake-off. No
need to get excited about it. Every
publisher has nis day, and we ex
pect to have ours in the “Sweet
By and By”.
The Times-lndependent jumped
onto J. S. Pedler last week and said
that already he has got his hands in
the county’s pocket, referring to the
fact that be had been allowed $100
for otDee rent, fuel, stationery,
stamps, etc. While we do not ap
prove of this method of fixing these
amounts before it is known just what
they will foot up to, and think that
it would have been better and more
satisfactory to have tiled itemized
claims as they accrue, vet we must
condemn 10 tue most emphatic terms
the manner in which Mr. Brown
seeks to mislead his readers. As
yet, Mr. Pedler has not received one
penny from the county, and very
likely will not ask for it until it is
due, while he advances the money
out of his own pocket to defray the
expenses of his office. The super
visors, on request, simply agreed to
pay this amouut. The supervisors
have had to buy a new statute book
for the county attorney every two
years, at a cost to the county of
15.00, on account of changes in the
laws, but in this agreement Mr. Ped
lar is to furnish his own statute
book, which actually reduces the ex
penses, office rent, fuel, etc, to $'.'5,
which is doubtless as cheap, or
cheaper than that office has ever
been run. Last year, the county at
torney’s salary was $050.oO. This
year, it nas been cut down by law to
$600.00. In both cases this addi
tional expense account of running
the office has been added, and the
usual cost, salary arid all, has been
from $750.00 to $800.00 per year.
This year Mr. Pedler wiil receive the
stated sum of $700, all told, for his
salary and expense sheet, save other
moneys laid out for telephone, tele
grains, or traveling expenses which
may be necessary at times, and
winch items are always added, even
under reform rule. If Mr. Brown
j Would do tbe fair tiling, he would
| nay to the readers of the Times that
| he told an untruth when he said that
Mr. Peltier had already gotten hands
into the county’s pocket.
LINCOLN LKTTKK
Koitok Northwestern:
Two weeks of hard work of six
teen hours to the duv has not quite
completed the bill but before this
reaches the eyes of your numerous
readers it will have become tbe prop
erty of the legislature. On railroad
property it leaves the law very much
as it is at present except it provides
for taxing the franchises of all cor
porations in cities and towns where
they use its streets and alleys; it
also provides for a county assessor,
with authority to examine books, in
voices and property where be deems
it advisable, also that he may ap
point deputy assesors with the ad
vice of the bnanf of county com
missioners or supervisors and makes
the assesor a member of the b >ard
of equalization. It givt-s thecounty
treasurer n seal so that he can give
a tax deed on property when sold
instead of going through the pro
cess of foreclosure. It further
makes the county treasurer and his
bondsmen responsible for delin
quent taxes unless he can show he
issued a distress warrant and no
property could be found. The lull
value of all property is to be ascer
tained by the assessor and the assess
ment of the property is to be one
fourth value. The main features
of the law, as near as it can be
learned row, will be to secure ’be
assessment of all property in the
slate and enforce the collection of
taxes, so that within five years the
nearly two million dollars indebted
of the state will be wiped out and
the state may have a small surpluss
in the general fund. It is hoped
the hill will be in the hands of the
printer on Friday of this week.
House rod relatiug to pharm
acy, is creating considerable interest.
It provides that a druggist’s certifi
cate shall he good for three years
and is to cost but one dollar.
Senate file 13, which passed the
senate Friday, relates to bridge
building and if it passes the houae,
will give our conuties better bridge*
for less money than we have been
getting.
This week w ill be a busy one frr
Senator Wall as the bills to make
the railroads grant the privilege to
grain and stock buyers to erect ele
vators on their right of wav are to be
heard. The railroads opposing and
the state association formed by the
farmers last week favoring the bill.
There is not much question but
what the hill will miss.
An effort is being made by east
ern members of the legislature to re
peal the bounty law giving a bounty
on the scalps of the gray wolf and
coyote.
The fusion members are quite
anxious that the majority should
make some big mistake or fail to
pass a revenue measure, and the re
publicans, from principal, are de
termined to make not manv laws,
but good ones. As yet the fusion
ists have not had an opportunity to
get together on any question to pre
vent 01 pass legislation. £Joryii.
