has brought upon the people of this stat
incalculable evils, and has tended to prt
duce-has produced as its legitimate +,
snIfs periury and bribery, has corrupte
the very foundations of justice by a systeI
of hired spies and informers, and made a
times our courts disgrace in the admin

Thirteenth-We declare emphatically il
favor of high license and local option: ant
recommend a law providing that for eacl
license issued for the sale of liquor $50
shall be paid to the county treasurer 70
the purpose of making and improvin:
county roads, and that the city munich
palities shall in addition fix such sums a
the mayor and councils may determine.
Fourteenth-We are emphAtically II
favor of the exercise by the legislature o.
its undoubted powers TO regulate the
oneration of railroads in this state, to the
end that passenger and freight rates shall
be equal reasonable and fair. There Is nc
legal right in railroads TO charge small
shipper higher rate than large one; noI
is it Just for common carriers TO charge a
higher sum for the transportation of agri-
cultural products than of other merchan-
disc.
1t is the Judgment of this convention
that the railroads of this state should be
required to pay taxes upon the full amount
of their capital
We favor liberal appropriation by con-
cress for the purpose Of thoroughly testing
the practicability of irrigation in the west
ern portion of this state, and we are, also,
in favor of liberal appropriation, by con-
gress. for a deep water harbor on the gulf
of Mexico. THOS j. FENLON.

wanted to amend the resolutions. He in
timated he was in favor of a prOhibitory
amendment This was simply awful.

h" with a big III" Wild confusion
prevailed and the chair pounded the desk.
Finally, above the Democratic din and
confusion, the chair ruled all amendments
out of order as the report was unanimous
bv the committee. 1t was conceded an
erroneous ruling as the committee had
not been delegated the exclusive control of
Che resolution matter, but there was little
sentiment for MIR. Bier and the chair put
the motion amid genuine Democratic
times.
The chair called for little music to re-
store peace and quiet and he would decide
on conference committee After the
music the chair announced as committee

the moonlight motion and deaf man
could have told that the negative was in
the majority but the chair sustaining him
self did not so decide Division" was
called for and the chair took sip Of water
and announced the motion carried and
