tion In this State We therefore favor liberal 6p-
propriatstions by Congress for surveys, both hy-
biographical and typographical to ascertain how
the waters of this state. which now run to waste
in food time, may be stored and utilized for the
purpose of agriculture, to the end that when all
the facts are known suitable aid may be obtained

Resolyed. That two years experience has DEM
onstrated that the present jury law which CON-
pels citizens at their own expense, without regard
to their pecuniary ability or The losses they may
suffer, sunmarily t. suspend their usual occupa-
tions, break their business engagements, travel
long distances, and remain from their homes for
uncertain period, and attend upon District
Courts as jurynen, is a measure of unwise econo-
my, ten productive of great hardship ana an un-
just imposition OF public burdens upon private
individuals. We therefore demand of the next
Legislature such legislation shall secure to all
citizens fair compensation for all the time which
they spend, and full reimbursement Tor all ex-
penses which they incur in performing the duties
Of jurymen in the Distric Courts.

on all occasions, as are fully shown by his unan.
swerable speeches in Congress against the reduc-
tion of duties upon foreign manufactures and
productions, which expose in a masterly style
and in a clear and foreible manner the free trade
doctrines of modern Democracy. His able and
exhaustive speeches upon the reconciliation of
silver, particularly the last speech iu Congress
uopn that subject, in which he has displayed
more strongly his ability to render that abstruse
subject Intelligent to the most common mind
thereby replacing and upholding the old time hon
ored American dollar of our fathers in its rghtful
position as part of our circulating medium and
purchasing power, and his logical and 0yerwhelm-
ing arguments in favor of the passage of the
Chinese Restriction and Exclusion Bill, and
amendments thereto during the last Congress.
Resolved, That our able representative in Con-
gress, the Hon, William Woodburn, deserves the
united thanks of the people of the State for his
constant zeal and watchful care over the true in

coguize in him an able statesman, a faithful Repre-
sentative, aud an honest man well DONE thou
ood and faithful servant; renewed honors await
thee"

laure shall pass laws in accordance with the plan
known as the Nebraska plan kOwn as the Nebraska
