AT THE CITY HALL.
Miscellaneous Matters of Interest to
the Taxpayers and the Mu-
nicipnI Officers

City License Inspector Earhart is ex-
periencing considerable trouble in collect
ing license money from the various insur-
ance companies and some of the concerns
go 50 far as to threaten to test the legality
of the license law in the courts. They say
it is not fair to tax the companies $40 a
year. when their agents pay a license of
50 per year, in addition to the per cent
of their gross receipts which is exacted
by statute fer the privilege of doing bust
ness in the state. Among the protestors
are the Bankers Life, of Kansas City; the
Merchants Life Association, and the Sc
curity Mutual Life. Building associations
also object to paying their licenses, alleg-
ing that they should be exempt on the
ground that they loan money to their men,
bers only. City Counselor McDougal has
these matters under consideration
Mayor Jones made tour of inspection
of the city yesterday for the purpose of
ascert aiming the cause of SO much filth in
the streets and alleys. He says it is be
cause merchants and business men neglect
to cooperate with the police and health
departments, and dump refuse and store
sweepings into alleys, whence it is carried
into the streets by the wind. He says no
one has as yet acted upon his recent sug-
gestion to furnish boxes into which TO
dump rubbish.
The Saloonkeepers' Anti-Combine Asso-
citation was the first to contribute to the
mayors charity fund, starting the list with
$3.50 F. NJ Hoover contributed s., which
made the total $3.50 for yesterdays re-
ceipts. Persons wishing to donate money
or goods may notify the mayor by tele-
phone mail or in person. He can be found
on the fourth floor OF the city hall build
ing.

RIGHTS OF M


The republican party is mindful Of
the rights of women. Protection Of
American industries includes equal OPP
portunities, equal pay for equal work,
and protection to the home. We IA
vor the admission Of women to wider
spheres of usefulness and welcome
their cooperation in rescuing the
country from democratic and popuulist
Encouragement and mfsrule.
Such are the principles and policies
OF the republican party. BY these prin-
ciples we will abide, and these policies
we will put into execution. We ask for
them the consfderate judgment Of the
American people. Confident alike in
the history Of our great party and in
THE justice of our cause, we present our
platform and our candidates in the full
assurance that their election will bring
victory to the republican party and
prosperity to the people Of the United

REPUBLICAN, PLATFORMS.
REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.

IL CoLASfhAN Fo1N.l.
The republicans of the State of Wyo-
ming in convention assembled most
heartily approve and endorse the nomi-
nation OF William Mckinley for presi-
dent and Garrett A. Hobart for vice
president.
We reafirm our allegiance to repub-
lican principles and policies and de-
clare, with that able and conspicuous
exponent OF republican principles
William McKinley-that the only safe
policy of the American people is a
speedy return to that system which
will provide a sufficient revenue for the
expense of the government; cherish,
protect and build up it's industrial in
terests, and afford employment with
liberal compensation for every man
and woman desirous Of obtaining it.
We call attention to the fact that
this country has been prosperous un-
der a protective tariff, but never with
out it. The distressing panic and pow
erty which the people of this country
are passing through, caused by the re-
peal OF the Mckinley law and the pas
sage OF the Wilson-Gorman act, en-
phasizes the fact that protection is the
paramount issue of this campaign.
We favor laws in aid of state immi-
grafton. We need settlers to open our
mines, to make homes on the millions
OF acres of irrigable and fertile public
land, to develop and utilize all our i'm
mense and unused
II the rich rivers which now run to
waste were diverted and used, if the
valleys which border them were re-
claimed and occupied, it would add
hundreds of thousands to our popula-
ton and hundreds of millions to our
taxable wealth. 1t would stop the
drain of money sent each year to sur
rounding states to purchase farm pro-
ducts, revive trade in our cities and
towns, tighten the burden of axes and
afford employment to labor. To secure
these results and to aid those who re-
claim and make productive these I'M
occupied wastes, W favor legislation
by the general government in aid of
Irrigation. We believe that every dol
lar paid for desert land should be re-
turned to the state and expended on
bitches and reservoirs to make these
and other lands productive.
We recognize the need Of laws to
protect and preserve our mountain for
ests and favor legislation to that end.
We condemn the present forest reserve
law, which prevents the legitimate and
harmless use Of timber by settlers, pre-
vents the ownership or development
of mines In reserved areas and does
nothing to protect the forests from fire
the chief agent of destruction.
W. favor laws for the preservation
OF the native grasses on the open range
and laws which will give to the citizens
and taxpayers of this state the exclu-
siye right to occupy and use the ranges

BRYAN'S NOMINATION-DU RHAM
PEOPLE ENTHUSIASTIC.

The great mass of Durham citizen
ship went wild when the news came
that BRYAN was the nominee OF the
Chicago convention. 1t was an out
come at which All true and honest
silver men were delighted. What the
result will be cannot now be predicted
The great mass OF honest and con
scientious people in these parts are
for silver, and the question arises,
will a few selfish leaders throttle pub
lie sentiment and prevent the people
from expressing their will at the polls.
There can be no dallying on this
question. It is the moneyed interests
arrayed against the poor people Of this
broad land of ours. What are we go
ing to do about it? Submit as serfs,
or rally around the banner that is
thrown TO the breezs by that most
gifted son Of the West. W. H. Bryan,
and sweep North. South, East and
West, for God and our native land,
or let Mckinley and Wall street bury
us ina the vortex of financial ruin.
Durham people were completely en-
Unused when the news reached here
that Bryan was the nominee. They
had watched the course of the North
Carolina delegation with pleasure, and
when the efforts of these North Caro-
linians were crowned with success
Durham Democrats shouted them
selves hoarse.
The North Carolina delegation could
not have pleased Durham people any
better than by their support of VIM. ].
