LINCOLN. June X (Special.) Secretary
Bennett of the State Board of Equalisa
tion expect to complete the work of certifying-
out the assessment of railroad prop
erty to the various countlea In the state
by next Baturdi-y. Sine the board made
It report he has been assisted by a half
doten or more accountants, which has
made It possible for the work to be ac
complished In auch a short time.
This work haa demonstrated that a
change In the revenue law so that It would
not be necessary "for the secretary of the
state board to divide and subdivide the re
turns to the different counties would be a
good one. The way ' the law la now the
secretary haa to figure out trie mileage and
the amount of assessment to be accredited
to each county, school district and road
district, when It would be much easier to
have him certify out the total mileage, the
assessment for each mile and the total
valuation, and let the county clerk do the
subdividing as he has done In the past.

In the meantime the County Board of
Equalisation of this county la going to
have a hard time satisfying the merchants
and others In the matter of deducting the
debts from their Credits. Some of the mer
chants are insisting, or will Insist a aoofl
as the board gets through with the farm
lands, that every debt the merchant owes
should be deducted from his credits. . They
have secured a cop; of the schedule of
Douglas county, which haa a column where
one Is supposed to lint all his mortgages,
book accounts and other credit, and In a
.second column he Is supposed to list all
the mortgages he owes and all other debta
outstanding against him. Lancaster county,
some of the merchants are claiming, Is the
only county that U refusing to allow these
deductions.

seeks on behalf of himself and other stock
holders In ssld corporation to cancel a
contract entered Into between the railway

a different conclusion. All work on the

The Western Electrical Supply company

has no Jurisdiction in the matter tof the
reason that the amount In dispute la In

CHICAGO, June 22. After the report of
the committee on rules hsd been received,
at the close of Mr. Cannon' speech, the
committee on platform made lta report,
which was as follows:
Fifty year ago the republican party came
Into existence dedlcatea among other pur
poses to the great task of arresting the
extension of human slavery. In 10 It
elected Its first president. During twenty
four of the forty-four years which havo
elapsed since the election of Lincoln the
republican party has held complete con
trol of the government. For eighteen more
of the forty-four years It has held partial
control through the possession of one or
two branches of the government, while
the democratic party auring the same
period has had complete control for only
two years. This long tenure of power by
the republican party Is not due to chance.
It Is a demonstration that the republican
party has commanded the confidence of the
American people for nearly two genera
tions to a degree never equalled In our his
tory, and has displayed a high capacity
for rule and government which has been
made even more conspicuous by the in
capacity and infirmity of purpose shown
by Its opponenta
The republican party entered upon It
present period of complete supremacy In
la97. We have every right to congratulate
ourselves upon the work since then ac
complished, for it has added luster evea
to the traditions of the party which car
ried the government through the storms of
civil war.
We then found the country after four
years of democratic rule In evil plight, op
pressed with misfortune and doubtful of
the future. Public credit had been low
ered, the revenues were declining, the debt
was growing, the administrations attitude
toward Spain was feeble and mortifying,
the atandard of valuea waa threatened and
uncertain. Labor was unemployed, busi
ness was sutik In the depression which
had succeeded the panic of 1893, hop was
faint and confidence was gone.
ESeet of Dlagley Law.
We met these unhappy conditions vig
orously, effectively and at once. We re
placed a democratic tariff law based on
free trade principles and garnished with
sectional protection by a protective tariff
and industry, freed from oppression and
stimulated by the encouragement of wise
laws, has expanded to a degree never be
fore known, hai conquered new markets
and has created a volume of exports which
has surpassed Imagination. Under the
Dingley tariff labor has been fully em
ployed. Wages have risen and all Indus
tries have revived and prospered. We
firmly established the gold standard, which
was then menaced with destruction. Con
fidence returned to1 business and with con
fidence an unexample prosperity.
For deficient revenues, supplemented by
Improvident issues of bonds, we gave the
country an Income which produced a large
surplus and which enabled us only four
years after the Spanish war had closed to
remove over 3100,000,000 of annual war taxes,
reduce the publlo debt and lower the In
ternal charges of tbe government. The
public credit, which had been so lowered
that In time of peace a democratic admin
istration made large loans at extravagant
rates of Interest in order to pay current
expenditures, rose under republican admin
istration to Its highest point and enabled
us to borrow at i per cent even in time of
war.
Brlags Freedom to Cuba.
We refused to palter longer with the
miseries of Cuba. We fought a quick and
victorious war with Spain. We set Cuba
free, governed the Island for three years
and then gave it to the Cuban people, with
order restored, with ample revenues, with
education and public health established,
free from debt and connected with the
United States by wise provisions for our
mutual Interest.
Work la Coloalea.
We have organised the government of
Porto Rico, and lta people now enjoy
peace, freedom, order and prosperity.
In the Philipplnaa-we have suppressed In
surrection, established order and given to
life and property a1 security never knowa
there before. We have organised civil gov
ernment, made It effective and strong In
administration and have conferred upon
the people of those Islands the largest civil
liberty they have ever enjoyed.
By our possession of the Philippine w
were enabled to take prompt and effective
action In the relief of the legation at
Peking and a decisive part In preventing
the partition and In the preserving of the
Integrity of China.
' Developaneat at Coaatry.
Tha possession of a route for an isthmian
canal, so long the dream of American,
statesmanship, is now an accomplished
fact. The great work of connecting the
Pacific and Atlantic oceans by a canal 1
at laat begun, and It la due to the repub
lican party.
We have paaeed law which will bring
the arid lands of the United States within
the area of cultivation.
We have organised the army and put It
in the highest state of efficiency.
We have passed laws for the Improve
ment and support of the militia.
We have pushed forward the building of
the navy, the defense and the protection
of our honor and our Interests.
Our administration of the great depart
ments of the government has been honest
and efficient and wherever wrongdoing haa
been discovered the republican adminis
tration has not hesitated to probe the evil
and bring offenders to Justice without re
gard to party or political ties.
neseatsggressloa of Capital.
Law enacted by the republican party
which the democratic party failed to en
force and which were intended for the
protection of the public against unfair
discrimination or the illegal encroachment
of vast aggregation of capital have been
fearlessly enforced by a republican presi
dent, and new laws, insuring publicity aa
regard the great corporations and provid
ing additional remedies for the prevention
of discrimination in freight rates, have
been passed by a republican congress.
In this record of achievement during the
last eight years may le read the pledges
which the republican party has fulfilled.
We propose to continue these policies and
we declare our constant adherence to Ut
following principles:
Adkeres to Protect loa.
Protection which guards and develops
our Industries ia a cardinal principle of
the republican party. The measure of pro
tection should always at least equal the
difference in the cost of production at
home and abroad. We insist upon the
maintenance of the principles of protec
tion, and therefore rates of duty should
be readjusted only when conditions have
so changed that the publlo interest de
mands tneir alteration, but the work can
not be safe'y committed to any other
hands than those of the republican party.
To entrus'. It to tne (it.niucraiiu pxrty is
to invite dlseaater. Whether, aa In 18&2, the
democratic party decides the protective
tariff unconstitutional, or whether it de
mands tariff reform or tariff revision, it
principal object Is always the destruction of
the protective system. However specious
the name, the purpose is ever the same. A
democratic tarui has always been followed
oy business . reverses, a republican tariff
by business prosperity. To a republican
congress and a republican president this
great question can be safely entrusted.
When the only free trade country among
the great nations agitates a return to pro
tection the chief protective country should
nut falter In maintaining It.
Forelaja Marketa ISsteaded.
We have extended widely our foreign
marketa and we believe in the adoption
of all practicable methods for their future
extension. Including commercial reciprocity
wherever reciprocal arrangements can be
effocted consistent with the principles of
protection and without Injur to American
agriculture. American labor or any Amer
ican industry.
Ipkolda Gold ttaadard.
We believe it to be the duty of the repub
lican party to uphold the gold atandard and
the integrity and value of our national cur
rency. The maintenance of the gold atand
ard. established by the republican party,
cannot aafely be committed to the demo
cratic party, which resisted its sdoptlon
and has never given any proof since that
time of belief In It or fidelity to It.
Woald Eaeoarage Shlpplaa;.
While every other Induatry ha pros
pered under the fostering aid of ths re-
fiubllcan party, American shipping engaged
n foreign trade in competition with tne
low coat of construction, lov wages and
heavy subsidies of foreign governments
haa not for many years received from the
government of the I'nlted sHatea adequate
encouragement of any kind. We therefore
favor legislation which will encourage and
build up the American merchant marine
and we cordially approve the leglalauon of
the laat congresa which create J the Mer
chant Marine commluton to Investigate
and report upon thla subject.

the Monroe doctrine and watch over our
commerce I essential to the safety and
the welfare of the American people. To
maintain ' such a navy la the fixed policy
of the republican party.
We cordially approve the attitude of
President Roosevelt and congress In regard
to the exclusion of Chinese labor and prom
ise a continuance of the republican policy
In that direction.
Civil Service aad Veterans.
The civil service law waa placed on the
statute books by the republican party,
which haa always sustained it, and we
renew our former declarations that it shall
be thoroughly and honestly enforced.
We are always mindful of the country's
debt to the soldiers and sailors of tho
United States and we believe In making
ample provision for them and In the lib
eral administration of the pension laws.
Plea for Arbitration.
We favor the peaceful settlement of in
ternational differences by arbitration.
We commeud the vlgoroua . efforts made
by the administration to protect American
citlxens In foreign lands and pledge our
selves to insist upon the Just anu egual
protection of all our cltlsens abroad. It is
the unquestioned duty of the government
to procure tor all our citlxens, without dis
tinction, the rights of travel and sojourn
In friendly countries and we declare our
selves In favor of ail proper efforts tending
to that end.
Our great Interests and our growing com
merce In the Orient render the condition of
China of high importance to the United
State. We cordially commend the policy
fursued In thst direction by the adminls
ration of President McKlnley and Resi
dent Roosevelt.
Free Ballot aad Pair Coaat.
We favor auch congressional action a
shall determine whether by special dis
criminations the elective franchise In any
state haa been unconstitutionally limited
and. If such Is the case, we demand that
representation In congress and in the elec
toral colleges shall be proportionately re
duced aa directed by the constitution of
the United States.
Capital aad Labor.
Combinations of capital and labor are the
results of the economic movement of the
age, but neither must be permitted to in
fringe upon the rights and Interest of the
people. Such combination, when lawfully
formed tor lawful purposes, are alike en
titled to the protection of the laws, but
both are subject to the laws and neither
can be permitted to break them.
v Ieatk of McKlaley.
The great statesman and patriotic Amer
ican, William McKlnley who was re-elected
by the republican party to the preaueucy
four years ago, was assassinated Just at
the threshold of his second term, 'the en
tire nation mourned his untimely ueath,
and did that Justice to hi great qualities
of mind and character whicn history will
confirm and repeal.
The American people were fortunate In
hla aucceeeor, to whom they turned with a
trust and confidence which have been tuily
Jusulied. President Roosevelt brought to
the great respoiuibllillee torced upon him
a clear head, a brave heart, an earnest
patriotism and high Ideals of public duty
and publlo service. True to the principle
of the republican party and to the pollcioa
which that party had declared, he haa also
shown himself ready for every emergency
and has met new and vital questions with
anility and with aucces.
The people have confidence In his Justice
and In hia publlo career, which enabled hint
to render personally an Inestimable service
to the country by Winging about a settle
ment of tbe coal atrlke, which threatened
disastrous resuita at the opening of the
winter of IWi. Our foreign policy under his
administration has not only been vigorous,
but in the highest degree aucceeaful. The

Foreign Affairs.
Ilia prompt and vlgoroua action In Pan
ama, which we commend In the highest
terms, not only secured to us the canal
route, but avoided foreign complications
which might have been of a very serious
character.
He haa continued the policy of President
McKlnley In the Orient and our position
in China, signalised by our recent com
mercial treaty with that empire, has never
been so high, lie secured the tribunal by
which the vexed and perilous question of
the Alaska boundary was finally settled.
Whenever crimes against humanity have
been perpetrated which have shocked our
people, his protest hxs born made and nor
good offices have been tendered, but always
with due regard to International obligations.
We And ourselves at peace with the
whole world and never more resprned or
our wishes more regarded by foreign na
tions. Pre-eminently successful In regurd
to our foreign relations, he has been
equally fortunate In dealing with the do
mestic questions. The country hss known
that the public credit and the national
currency wt-re abMilutely safe In the handx
of his administration In the enforcement
of the laas he lias shown not only coursge,
but the wisdom which understands that
to permit laws to be violated or dlere
gxrded open the dior to anarchy, while
the Just enforcement of the law la the
soundest conservatism. He haa held firmly
to the fundamental American doclrlne that
ail men must obey the law no distinction
between rich and poor, and weak and
strong.
His administration hss been throughout
vigorous and honorable. We commend It
without reservation to the considerate
Judgmeut of the American people.
