As both. the democrats and populists will have presidential . lectorial tickets in Nebraska his ear it wIll give a fair test 'of. the strength of 'cach party.

The con- olidation of. the two l > apers. w.hich will contain a soil culture q partU1ent conducte by Mr. C mpbell. will' ' , greatl increase the value of the paper and it should be in every farm home in .the state. , The Real I88UO. - The prominence given to the . tariff in the' democratic platform anQ the open declaration in favor of a tariff for revenue only , and against 'protection , cmphasizes the importance of that issue , and affords ground for the ( lcc1ara- tion by prominent public men that this is the .most important of them all. But the real issue of the cam- .paign isnot.a'uy one Qfjl1escand .the verdict of the people will not be given upon anyone. of hen. though they all may be consider- ed. Thc question , to be judged by the pople : is that of rep.1.tQi- } can performance versus democra- ti promiserepub1i ; an principle versus demoratic inconsiste cy ; republica success versus democratic - tic failure. . Everyone lcnows what .the re. publicans have done in the ad. ministration of the govern.ment. There is no evidence that tht : democrats could o any better. There is abundant evidenct that they could not do nearly se , weIl.-Pueblo 'Chieftain. " The UlI\COU .

N When the RnpUUI.ICAN says that taxes will be .lower under the new revenue law , it belies facts.Ve repeat our prediction : liThe assessmcnt roll of the state will be very nearl.v doubled while , relatively the assessment of railroads will be decrcascd. " It is such wild : md unfounded - founded statements that has got the Beacon in bet water. Rather thatl to pursue the honorable - orable course and frankly ac- Imowledge it was talking under its hat for political bunCOU1e ahout someth ng that did not materialize it now is making a sickly effort to maintain its false position. As a matter of fact the property - erty valuation in the state exclusive - sive of railroad property has only been increased 54 per cent. while railroad property has been increased - creased 70 per cent. In neither case was the assessment doubled. . nor . was the assessment of railroads - roads decreased. Instead of the property of Custer county being raised by the state board of cq4 lization , Custer's assessment was allowed to stand as made by the assessors and county board and the assessment of other counties of the state were raised or lowered as was required to equalize them with Custer coun- ty. While the average increase .of the statc is 54 per cent , Cus- ter's incrcase is less than 25 per cent above last year. It was shown to the state board that Custer had formerly paid more than its porportionate share. hence the difference in the per cent of increase in Custer's favor. , Should there be $1,600 or $2,000 more raised in Custer county than last year , the additional tax will not be borne by the individual - vidual property owner of Custer county. The increased 'valua- tion of railroad and corporation property of the county will produce - duce 'a much larger tax than the additional required. As a matter - ter of fact , as we have before stated. with the state levy twc mills less than last year and tbt : county levy four mills less nc man's taxes will be as high on one-fifth valuation as it was las1 y ar on a one-fourth valuatiOl unless-'fle has more property thaI 4e had last year or it has in creased in value. The Beacon' : attempt to make political capita outof the new revenue law fall very flat in the face of facts , ani no one knows it better than th Beacon. But it is short of a issue nnd feels it must do sOlm thing to keep its readers frol seeing the true situati'oll. "Ililt the Old Il'ulk. . .
