The indications are that Representative Taylor , of Merna , is going to persue the policy that he did when he was in the Legislature before and try to cut down the ap propriation of the State Uni versity. There is no insti tution in the state in which the people have more interest or in which they have more pride than the State Univers ity. Jt is the highest institut ion of learning in the state and the people have an inter est in seeing that it is sup plied with sullicient finances to keep it on a par with the other state institutions of the Country. The University has during during the last few years lost a number of its best instruct ors , because its financial re sources were not sullicient to enable it to pay as good a sal ary as some of its professors could get elsewhere. There is no factor in the educational system of the state which has more influence or which is more necessary than first class instructors. These instruct ors cannot be secured or can not be held , unless that the University is able to pay them as good wages as they can se cure elsewhere. When Representative Tay lor strikes at the State Uni versity , he is combating one of the most necessaiy insti tutions in the state and one which should receive ample funds at the hands of the State Legislature. TIIOWATIiR MbTI-R QUliSTION A communication from Fred Ream , the city water commis sioner , in reply to the com munication published last week from S. M. Derris , is published this week. The Republican believes that the discussion of municipal alVairs is a very good thing and it would be glad to publish any additional communications that the citizens of Broken Bow may desire to submit. It agrees with Mr. Ream , as to the policy to persue in the meter question , and docs not believe that the city should own and maintain the meters. If the city was to purchase the meters , it would mean , as Mr. Ream says , that people in the outskirts of the city , who enjoy none of the advan tages of the water system , would be compelled to help pay for the meters of the people ple who do have its advan tages. Moreover , the heavy tax payers of the city would be compelled to not only pay the greater portion of the cost of their own meters , but would 3iave to help buy meters for Ihe man who pays only a small amount of tax. The Ouster County Beacon pays : "The County Board paved the County $1,000 by refusing to allow County Clerk Pigman a raise of $1,000 in palary on account of the in crease in population of the County. " The Beacon , how ever , makes no mention of the fact that the Board took this action on the recommendation of a Republican County At torney.

County As sessor Kosher states that to the bfst of his knowledge , the residents of hut one man can he in doubt and that it is his impression that this one man whose residc-nts is in doubt was a resident of the precinct that he assessed. The Cluster County Beacon has failed to deny the charge- that a special session of the Count } ' Board was lu-ld last , year to iv-equali/.e the taxes and it cannot dispute the re cords , which show that the special session cost the Coun ty S-WlvlO.

Independence and Nebraska G. A. U f , . The incoming new day of Cuban liber ty was signalled by a display of fireworks , rockets and bombs with their showers of jjold and v.'iri , colored lights. The streets were illuminated and garlanded with cluins of electric bulbs and thronged with people until early morning. Everywhere the carnival spirit prevailed. The city from end to end was clad in gala attire , and their party viewed it by boat , by carriage , by Auto , and on foot. Glowing tribute is paid to the sights they saw , to the city and the people. They agree en tirely with Owen Meredith when he says , we may live without poetry , mus'ic and art ; without conscience or heart , without friends or books , but civilized man cannot live without cooks. That is why after living four days , on their poor fare , they said on a postal to Mrs. , they would give § 5.00 for cue of her good dinners. T'was cvtr thus the bitter with the sweet , pain with pleasure , sorrow with mirth and hunger with our Cuban sightseer's. On Sunday they attended ser vices at the Episcopal Church , where the music was exception ally fine. They returned to Florida , the way they left it , by boat and the new railroad that runs for miles , irom key to key into the ocean , from the Florida shore.
