LINCOLN , Sept. 10. ( Special. ) The pro
pic of York county , who nrc Informed by
the popocratlc campaigners that thu school ,
apportionment fur tliclr county lias been
larger In ISfiT-S then it was in lSHo-6 , If
they look nt the figures shown by the books
In the rounty treasurer's olllco nu York ,
v.111 not bu long nt a loss to account for
the Increase In the funil. Anil the1 } ' Mill
readily realize that the Increase In the
ntfttc funds Is not duo to the "nupcrlor
management of rhc state olllclals , " but It
Is due to the fuel that the people of the
siato nro paying their taxes faster than
ovnr before. To show thut the taxpayers
of York county iuc enrltfcd to no small
share of the credit In the Increase of the
funds , the following figures arc copied from
lht > treasurer's boolis , being the amount of
taxes paid In during the Itrst seven months
of each of the years 180.1 , 15 % , 1S97 and
ISflfi. The amount of money derived from
the Interest , lease and sale of siMtu school
lands Is also given :

II will lie noticed that In the item of
taxes collected , the amount for the first
seven months of 1898 Is $2fiSH In excess
of what It was during the same period of
ISO. , , and J 13,338 more than In ISM ; while
thf > Increase over 1SH7 Is a little more
than $10,000. In the first half of ISO. , the
people of York county were paying their
taxes at the rate of jn.338 per mnnth. while
this year they arc paying at the rate of
J9.1B8 per month.
The Item of moneys received from school
lands of the county shows that there was
hut a small amount derived from that
source In 1SI. ! > , on account of the bad con
dition of the crops and the hard times
that had prevailed in York anil other coun
ties. There WIIB a good Increase In ISDfi ,
hut In 1M7 , the year that Undo Jake
Wolfe got so excited and advertised hlm-
rclf as the savior of the country In the
matter of getting revenue out of the school
lands , there was nn actual decrease for
nosne reason. Up to August 1 , 18 ! 8 , there
wan another Inrroase , and it la certain that
n continuation of the good times will make
It possible for these figures to bo doubled
next year , without the aid or "good man
agement" of any state official. In fact , the
people of York are laying claim to some good
management within the bounds of their
own county , and feel that they arc keeping
pare with the general prosperity of the
whole country.
ropocralN I'NlnK Their I'nNNes.
State Secretary Porter , Auditor Cornell
nnd Clerk Fr-d Jewell have just returned
from Clcarwnter , up In the north part of
Antelope county , where they went to at
tend n small popocratic meeting. The dis-
tnnco being 240 miles for the round trip ,
the mileage would ho 720 miles for the three
of them. If they had not all rode on passes
the railroad fare would have been $21.CO , or
about do cents per head for every popocrat
who attended the meeting. Commissioner
Wolfe and Hone ! Clerk Price have also been

ing considerable ) wear und tear to their
