Expenditures beyond the
means of private individuals are
REG uired for surveys, engineer
ing, and the construction of res
er.oirs, canals, and other by
d"4'iiic works, for the purpose
of irrigation in this State. We
therefore favorliberal appropria-

waters of this State, which now
run to waste in food time, may
be stored and utilized for the

known suitable aid may be OBJ
tanned from Congress to en- bic

Resolved, That two years
experience has demonstrated
that the present jury law which
cOlnpels citizens, at their own
expense, without regard to their
pecuniary ability or the losses
they may suffer, sunmarily to
suspend their usual occupations,
break their business engage
ments, travel long distances and
remain from their homes for an
uncertain period, and attend up
on District Courts as jurymen, is
a measure of unWiSe economy,
often productive Of great hard
ship and all unjust imposition
of public burdens upon private
individuals. We therefore de
mand Of the next Legislature
such legislation as shall secure
to all citizens fair compensation
for all the time which they spend
and full reimbursement for all
expenses which they incur in
performing the duties of jury
men ia the District Courts.

upon ali occasions, as are fully
shown by his unansWerable
speeches in Congress against the
of duties upon foreign
manufacturers and foreign pro-
which exposes in a
style and in a clear
and fOrcible manner the free
trade doctrines Of modern De
Hisable and exhaust
i've speeches upon the remone-
tization Of silver, particularly in
the last speech in Congress upon
that subject, in which he has
more strongly his abil-
ity render the abstruse subjects
