Whatever may bo said to the contrary wo believe very few , if any of the stales west of the Mississippi will send Htato troops to the New York centennial , it- is , of course , to bo expected that the Atlantic seaboard states , and especially the thirteen original states , will make a grand martial display. The fact will hardly justify an appropriation for a junket for Nebraska at the state's ex- pense. ¬ . Nebraska can gain little glory and no advantage by pa- rading ¬ a few companies of militia aide by side with the crack rugi- monts - of Now York National guards and the thousands of well drilled and mag- nificently ¬ equipped soldiers from New England and Pennsylvania. At the very best the Nebraska contingent would scarcely receive passing notice. That would be more mortifying to .out- state pride than being loft out of the parade altogether. It is not expected that our btate should make a display of her military strength in tlio great me- tropolis. ¬ . There are other ways by which Nebraska can loyally show her regard to the memory of Washington without making a useless outlay of sev- eral ¬ thousand dollars for an unsatisfac- tory ¬ showing of our militia. The legis- lature ¬ will display its true patriotism liy rejecting any resolution to squander tlie money of an already overtaxed peo- ple ¬ for the purpose. VAX DODQIXO. Tax dodging is a legal and moral wrong , yet it is of universal practice , and almost wholly by people who have the least excuse for it. A striking ad- dress ¬ was made at the recent banquet of the Merchant's association Of Uostoti- by the president of that organisationin which he showed from statistics the alarming extent to which tax dodging is practiced in Massachusetts. The value of the taxable property of the state , ho said , was three thousand million dollars , while the assessed valuation was but live hundred millions. Tn Boston alone the value of taxable property is twelve hun- dred ¬ million dollars. yet the assessors report only two hundred millions for taxation. The stupendous dishonesty which these figures show ro- llocts - almost wholly upon the great cor- porations ¬ and tlio wealthy individuals of Massachusetts , for there , as else- where - , the people of moderate posses- sions ¬ cannot escape the scrutiny of the assessors nor afford to purchase their acquiescence in obviously false returns. What is true of Massachusetts is rela- tively ¬ true of perhaps every other state in the country. Everywhere wealth escapes by falsehood , or concealment , or corruption , its just share of re- sponsibility ¬ in maintaining govern ¬ ment. Great corporations fostered and protected by law do not hesitate to evade the law when called upon for their fair share of the revenue necus- wiry to carry on the machinery of- government. . Men who profess to abhor dishonesty and would exact for others guilty of it the severest punishment , will smile out of their presence the de- ceived ¬ assessor and congratulate thorn- selves upon their shrewdness , as if robbery of the whole pcoplo were any loss a wrong than robbery of the indi- vidual. ¬ . Undoubtedly in no other country comparable with the United States is shirking so generally and boldly prac- ticed ¬ as it is hero , and with us it is a growing ovil. This is shown by the very general attention that is being di- rected ¬ to the question of tax reform in the states. In most of the legislatures in session bills have been Introduced relating to tills subject , the in-imc pur- pose ¬ of all of them being to remedy the inequalities of taxation and relieve the great body of the pcoplo from the undue and unjiiBt bunion they arc compelled to bear by reason of false returns and undervaluations. Nowhere is there moro urgent demand for such legisla- tion ¬ than in Nebraska.- NEVADA'S . WJBSTEItff Senator Stewart , of Nevada , has como out frankly tig an advocate of the pro- posed ¬ rendjustmontof Nevada's western boundary , which was fixed by congress arbitrarily and without any regard to the future needs of the state. At present the meridians of 120" and 115P make fine , straight lines upon the map , but it in- terfere ¬ very materially with the efforts of the people of Nevada to de- velop ¬ agriculture , Nevada became a slate under thu fever of the discove- ories - in the Comslock lode , but the mines that poured forth rivers of silver are now famous for their asbossinoiitH--not for their divi- dends. ¬ . Under those circumstance's thu only hope of the sturdy little state is in agriculture , which promises well wherever Irrigation is possible. Hut a glance at the map of California will show that tlio headwaters of all the streams running to the eastward of the Sierra. Nevada mountains are in Cali- fornia ¬ , The natural boundary line between California and Nevada would be the crest of the range. M > that all stream * going eastward would belong to- Nevada. . Hut congrc-ss chose the 120th meridian as the boundary and thereby gave to'ali'ornia. ( according to tlio ox- siting - Cnllfornitin laws , every right and title for irrigating purpose * to the streams that How from Iho Sierra range into western Nevada. - It is clear that much inny bo said against the equity of the present system in California , by which the owner of the head water of a stream owns the water and can make nil those who use it. piy : him egregious tribute. The irrigation laws in rolonuloaro infinitely more just , and indeed it may be doubted whether it would bo DiMsible to IInil bolter. Ne- vada ¬ has therefore In the present condi- tion ¬ of the state's affairs no hotter policy than to lake those- laws for a model and to adapt them for herself. When this shall have boon done the ques- tion ¬ would come up squarely as- to the boundary line between the two stale- , for there would be a di- rect ¬ conllict of authority between the California owners of Hie head waters and the Novadlun farmers who would use the Htronms for irrigation. This would necessitate a readjustment , which mu:4 : bo entirely to the advantage of Nevada , for the present boundary line is preposterous. Hut the pcoplo of Nevada mint sou that nothing can bo done until the question is opened , and this will not bo until there are adequate reasons for it. The adoption in princi- ple ¬ of the laws of Colorado upon irriga- tion ¬ would give this.- l'or . in that state it is hold that all waters .vltich exist naturally , and can be applied to irrigation , tire owned by the state , to be held forever for the common benefit of all agriculturists.- No . man is permitted to pre-empt the mountain torrent at Us source , or the laivo at its niche among the eternal hills ami peddle it out to the farmers of his section. But this is precisely what is done in Cali- fornia ¬ , ami the people of Nevada recog- nize ¬ very clearly that in attempting' to develop tlio agricultural resources of their state they would simply be toiling for Iho benefit of some Californians who would take measures to become owners of every stream likely t'o bo of service to the farmars of Nevada. This is why Senator Stewart is urgent fora readjustment of the boundary line , but it is difficult to sou why California should meet her daughter , Nevada , half way in the negotiation , for her own interests tire not involved. When- ever - a legal case presents itself that hinges upon the boundary question , it- is not to be doubled that California will be both just and generous.J- J11A . UT1VULLY COVS57RiVT. The question of the location of the city hall is a live issue. The ItcvuMlcan 1msnot- as yet taken liny position in the matter be- yond ¬ insisting upon the right of the people to decide for themselves. That having boon conceded , it is content to stand neutral , pro- viding the advocates of neither side resort to unfair methods or misrepresentation. Re- pulilican. - . Nobody expects the HepulUcan to grapple with a live issue , and very few people care what position it will take with regard to the proposed relocation of the city hall. But what consistency is there in prating'about unfair methods and misrepresentation on "neither- side" and commanding to the taxpayers Jim Croighton's tissue of falsehoods ? Could there bo anything moro un- fair ¬ than Jim Creighton's assertion that the Farnatn street site is not accessible to the general public ? Could misrepresentation further go than Jim Croighton's assertion that the Farnam street site is not on the line of travel nor in the direction of extend- ing ¬ commerce ? Could any demagogue surpass Jim Creighton's assertion that the Farnam street location is sought for selfish purposes , while the Jefferson square location is urged only for the public good ? Could misrepresentation further go than Jim Croighton's declara- tion ¬ that Farnam and Eighteenth is not central , while Jefferson square is central as to commerce and population , and will so remain by reason of the prospective growth of this city north , south , east and west. Will the Kuiiub- llcun - kindly toll us how far east of Jef- ferson ¬ square the present population extends and how much farther east it is expected to expand in the next hund- red ¬ years unless the Missouri river changes its course and transfers several miles of Iowa into Nebraska. Fair play is a rare jewel but the Ittpublican was never known to possess it.- of . Now York's thirty-six electors signed a petition favoring the appointment , of Tom Platt as secretary of the treasury.

Next came the consideration of applioants against whom objections had been made. The llrst was a protest by Hfty prominent of the First ward against granting n license to Alex Miller of No. 1334 South Fifth street , near Williams. The communication stated that the saloon was near a school , and was not wanted in the neighborhood , The ob- jection ¬ was sustained , and Miller refused n- license. .

Unless the bondsmen of thcso applicants qualify before Wednesday next , their licenses will bo refused and their saloons closed. William Sehepporeit , 112 South Tenth street , was refused a license.

Mr. Ford in his pro- test ¬ described the place us being a hellhole.- Tlie . police wore questioned as to the charac- ter ¬ of the place , nnd asserted that it was a place which thu vagrants and desperate characters of the city frequented. Tlio board immediately ordered the place closed. The application for a license of C. Obor- ton , who runs an unction slnp tit -I111 South Tenth street , was referred to the next meet ¬ ing. The police were questioned on this subject and described the place as one in which persons from the country were steered and fleeced of all they possess by sharks in the employ of Oborton. The chief said it was almost impossible for him to get a conviction against the iiluce , for when he brought it before the police court and secured a conviction an tipnoii ! to the district court was taxon , and that was Iho last he over hoard of the mutter. The best thing to do with these places was to close them all up by refusing them licenses. Those shops were nothing but robbers' roosts , and not n day passed but ho had complaints from some 0110 who had been steered into these holes ami robbed. The board will consider the mutter of granting a license at the next meeting.

A mixture of rain ami slcej began to full at an early hour Monday evening , the walks us fust us it landed nnd making walking extremely hazardous. People un their way homo from business were greatly annoyed , and it was no bettor yesterday The slush of the streets was considerably safer to travel through than the treacherous sidewalks , and but very few ventured on the latter. Throughout the forenoon a drizzling and penetrating rain kept fulling , ami there wore but little hopes' for a change before niglit. The wind was in a southwesterly direction , nnd was distressing to the barometer , whirb was low ami sluggish. Until the wind shifts it will remain in this state , but hopes were entertained that it would change its course by nightfall , and with it bring Borne of the cold weather which is prevailing in Iho- northwest. .

Could the legislature get rid of thesurplus in the vaults of the state treas-urer

¬

in a more glorious and patrioticcause1-

Wo;

candidly confess that patri-otism

¬

Is one of the most tender chordsIn the average politician's make up ,

especially wlioru he can u.xhibit IUH pat-

riotic¬

feelings at the public expense.-On

.

sober second thought , however , .itwill opcur to nino-tonths of tlio mem-bers

¬

of our legislature that the peopleof Nebraska are not just now in condi-tion

¬

to indulge in luxurious patriotism.Whatever may bo said to the contrarywo believe very few , if any of the staleswest of the Mississippi will send Htatotroops to the New York centennial , it-

is , of course , to bo expected that theAtlantic seaboard states , and especiallythe thirteen original states , will makea grand martial display. The fact willhardly justify an appropriation for ajunket for Nebraska at the state's ex-

pense.¬

. Nebraska can gain littleglory and no advantage by pa-

rading¬

a few companies ofmilitia aide by side with the crack rugi-monts

-

of Now York National guards andthe thousands of well drilled and mag-nificently

¬

equipped soldiers from NewEngland and Pennsylvania. At thevery best the Nebraska contingentwould scarcely receive passing notice.That would be more mortifying to .out-state pride than being loft out of theparade altogether. It is not expectedthat our btate should make a display ofher military strength in tlio great me-tropolis.

¬

. There are other ways bywhich Nebraska can loyally show herregard to the memory of Washingtonwithout making a useless outlay of sev-

eral¬

thousand dollars for an unsatisfac-tory

¬

showing of our militia. The legis-lature

¬

will display its true patriotismliy rejecting any resolution to squandertlie money of an already overtaxed peo-

ple¬

for the purpose.

and almost wholly by people who havethe least excuse for it. A striking ad-

dress¬

was made at the recent banquetof the Merchant's association Of Uostoti-by the president of that organisationinwhich he showed from statistics thealarming extent to which tax dodgingis practiced in Massachusetts. Thevalue of the taxable property of thestate , ho said , was three thousandmillion dollars , while the assessedvaluation was but live hundredmillions. Tn Boston alone the valueof taxable property is twelve hun-dred

¬

million dollars. yet theassessors report only two hundredmillions for taxation. The stupendousdishonesty which these figures show ro-

llocts-

almost wholly upon the great cor-

porations¬

and tlio wealthy individualsof Massachusetts , for there , as else-where

-

, the people of moderate posses-sions

¬

cannot escape the scrutiny of theassessors nor afford to purchase theiracquiescence in obviously false returns.

What is true of Massachusetts is rela-tively

¬

true of perhaps every other statein the country. Everywhere wealthescapes by falsehood , or concealment ,

or corruption , its just share of re-

sponsibility¬

in maintaining govern ¬

ment. Great corporations fosteredand protected by law do not hesitate toevade the law when called upon fortheir fair share of the revenue necus-wiry to carry on the machinery of-

government. . Men who profess to abhordishonesty and would exact for othersguilty of it the severest punishment ,

will smile out of their presence the de-

ceived¬

assessor and congratulate thorn-selves upon their shrewdness , as ifrobbery of the whole pcoplo were anyloss a wrong than robbery of the indi-vidual.

¬

.

Undoubtedly in no other countrycomparable with the United States isshirking so generally and boldly prac-ticed

¬

as it is hero , and with us it is agrowing ovil. This is shown by thevery general attention that is being di-

rected¬

to the question of tax reform inthe states. In most of the legislaturesin session bills have been Introducedrelating to tills subject , the in-imc pur-pose

¬

of all of them being to remedy theinequalities of taxation and relieve thegreat body of the pcoplo from the undueand unjiiBt bunion they arc compelledto bear by reason of false returns andundervaluations. Nowhere is theremoro urgent demand for such legisla-tion

¬

than in Nebraska.-

NEVADA'S

.

WJBSTEItffSenator Stewart , of Nevada , has como

out frankly tig an advocate of the pro-posed

¬

rendjustmontof Nevada's westernboundary , which was fixed by congressarbitrarily and without any regard tothe future needs of the state. At presentthe meridians of 120" and 115P make fine ,

straight lines upon the map , but it in-

terfere¬

very materially with theefforts of the people of Nevada to de-

velop¬

agriculture , Nevada became aslate under thu fever of the discove-ories

-

in the Comslock lode , but themines that poured forth rivers ofsilver are now famous for theirasbossinoiitH--not for their divi-dends.

¬

. Under those circumstance's thuonly hope of the sturdy little state is inagriculture , which promises wellwherever Irrigation is possible. Huta glance at the map of California willshow that tlio headwaters of all thestreams running to the eastward of the

Sierra. Nevada mountains are in Cali-fornia

¬

, The natural boundary linebetween California and Nevada wouldbe the crest of the range. M> that allstream * going eastward would belong to-

Nevada. . Hut congrc-ss chose the 120th

meridian as the boundary and therebygave to'ali'ornia.( according to tlio ox-

siting-

Cnllfornitin laws , every right andtitle for irrigating purpose * to thestreams that How from Iho Sierra rangeinto western Nevada. -

It is clear that much inny bo saidagainst the equity of the present systemin California , by which the owner of thehead water of a stream owns the waterand can make nil those who use it. piy:

him egregious tribute. The irrigationlaws in rolonuloaro infinitely more just ,

and indeed it may be doubted whetherit would bo DiMsible to IInil bolter. Ne-

vada¬

has therefore In the present condi-tion

¬

of the state's affairs no hotter policythan to lake those- laws for a model andto adapt them for herself. When thisshall have boon done the ques-tion

¬

would come up squarely as-

to the boundary line betweenthe two stale- , for there would be a di-

rect¬

conllict of authority between theCalifornia owners of Hie head watersand the Novadlun farmers who woulduse the Htronms for irrigation. Thiswould necessitate a readjustment , whichmu:4: bo entirely to the advantage ofNevada , for the present boundary lineis preposterous. Hut the pcoplo ofNevada mint sou that nothing can bodone until the question is opened , andthis will not bo until there are adequatereasons for it. The adoption in princi-ple

¬

of the laws of Colorado upon irriga-tion

¬

would give this.-

l'or.

in that state it is hold that allwaters .vltich exist naturally , and canbe applied to irrigation , tire owned bythe state , to be held forever for thecommon benefit of all agriculturists.-No

.

man is permitted to pre-empt themountain torrent at Us source ,

or the laivo at its nicheamong the eternal hills ami peddle itout to the farmers of his section. Butthis is precisely what is done in Cali-fornia

¬

, ami the people of Nevada recog-nize

¬

very clearly that in attempting' todevelop tlio agricultural resources oftheir state they would simply be toilingfor Iho benefit of some Californianswho would take measures to becomeowners of every stream likely t'o bo ofservice to the farmars of Nevada. Thisis why Senator Stewart is urgent forareadjustment of the boundary line , butit is difficult to sou why Californiashould meet her daughter , Nevada ,

half way in the negotiation , for herown interests tire not involved. When-ever

-

a legal case presents itself thathinges upon the boundary question , it-

is not to be doubled that California willbe both just and generous.J-

UT1VULLY COVS57RiVT.The question of the location of the city

hall is a live issue. The ItcvuMlcan 1msnot-as yet taken liny position in the matter be-

insisting upon the right of the people todecide for themselves. That having boonconceded , it is content to stand neutral , pro-

viding the advocates of neither side resort tounfair methods or misrepresentation. Re-

Nobody expects the HepulUcan tograpple with a live issue , and very fewpeople care what position it will takewith regard to the proposed relocationof the city hall. But what consistencyis there in prating'about unfair methodsand misrepresentation on "neither-side" and commanding to the taxpayersJim Croighton's tissue of falsehoods ?

Could there bo anything moro un-

fair¬

than Jim Creighton's assertionthat the Farnatn street site is notaccessible to the general public ?

Could misrepresentation further gothan Jim Croighton's assertion that theFarnam street site is not on the line oftravel nor in the direction of extend-ing

¬

commerce ? Could any demagoguesurpass Jim Creighton's assertion thatthe Farnam street location is soughtfor selfish purposes , while the Jeffersonsquare location is urged only for thepublic good ? Could misrepresentationfurther go than Jim Croighton's declara-tion

¬

that Farnam and Eighteenth isnot central , while Jefferson square iscentral as to commerce and population ,

and will so remain by reason of theprospective growth of this city north ,

south , east and west. Will the Kuiiub-llcun

-kindly toll us how far east of Jef-

ferson¬

square the present populationextends and how much farther east it isexpected to expand in the next hund-red
