EXEUNT BRYAN.

EXEUNT BRYAN.
If 1t is in the power of any man to
convince w. j. Bryan that the people
are permanently and effectually done
with him, it would be an invaluable ser
vice. He is now, in national politics,
what the lOquacious street orator is in
en- his piece in every state of the Union.
He has peddled out his vagaries from
the rear platform on every line of rail
way in the country. He predicted, in
most emphatic language. the very things
which have not happened. He preached
calamity as the necessary result of Nc
Kinley's election. He arranged the
music and started the tune for every
calamity bowler in this broad land, and
it was a mighty chorus while it lasted
After the election, and prior to the pass
age of the tariff bill, it was regarded
an unanSwerable socdologer to ask
"Where is your Mckinley prosperity ?"
! With Bryan and his dupes this query
was the opening and closing of all ar
gument. Because the government at
Washington did not start all the mills.
and advance the price Of wheat under
the GOrman-Wilson law, it was assum-
ed that the new administration was
fit failure, but the tariff law. and its eff
fects. changes their tune The ink was
hardly dry on the presidents signature
to the bill till the mills were running
and idle men returning to work. To
the man out Of job, this was more
convincing than Pop ora tory, even from
the silver tongue of the late defeated
Bryan. For very shame the rank and
file Of his supporters have ceased to aSi-
tate, and are busily engaged in adjust
ing themselves 10 the new conditions.
Only the leaders and place hunters are
heard to perpetuate the cry of hard
times. 1t is dismal yawp-the last de-
spairing bleat of a few stray wethers
on the deserted hills and waste places of
Popdom. For all the good it will do
them they might as well retire 10 the
coast of Labrador and command the
motion of the waves. William Jennings
