sely settled sections of the State is necessarily
more expensive per capita than where large

Expenditures beyond the means of private in
dividuals are required for surveys, engineering,
and the construction OF reservoirs, canals and
other hydraulic works, for the purpose of irriga-
tidn In this State We therefore favor liberal ap-
propriRtetonB by Congress for surveys, both hy-
biographical and Typographical to ascertain how
the waters of this state which now run to waste
in flood 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
from Congress to enable the Government Of the
United States to dispose Of its lands, and to
enable the people TO settle upon and occupy
the same.

ResOtued. 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, summsrily t suspend their usual occupa-
tions, break their business engagements, travel
long distances, and remain from their homes for
an uncertain period, and attend upon District
Courts jur men, is 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 neIt
Legislature such Legislation shall secure to all
citizens fair compensation for all the time which
they spend, and full reimbursement for all ex.
penses which they incur in performing the duties
of jurymen in the Distric Courts.

Resoleed. That point with pride and pleas
ure to the able aud brilliant record made by our
Senator in Congress, the Hon. John p. Jones, IN
his watchful aud yigant care OF our interests up
on all occasions, are fully shown by his unan-
swerable speeches in Congress against the reduc-
tion of duties upon foreign manufactures and
| productions, which expose in q mastery style
and in clear and forcibe manner the free trade
doctrines of modern Democracy. His able and
exhaustive speeches upon the r0monetiZation of
silver, particularly the last speech in 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 fathers in its rightful
position as part of our circulating medium and
purchasing power, and his logical and Sverwhelm-
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 over the true in
tersrts Of the people of this Stste, and that
cognize in him an able statesman, faithful Repre-
sentative, and au honest man We'll done, thou
loOd and faithful servant; renewed honors await
thee"
ResolUed, That we are unslterably in favor of
home rule" in NevGds and believe that the men
who pay their taxes and whose homes and interests
are identified with this State should control its
| politics.
Res0loed, That we demand that the next Legis-
| lature shall pass laws in accordance with the plan
| known as the Nebraska plan kown as the Nebraska
| plan for the election Of United States senator's.
