Lots of Helm Wanted.

The Omaha World-Herald was Mr..
Bryan's personal organ in 1896, and
during that campaign it made the
prophecy daily that in the event of Nc
Kinley's election the depression and
distress among the working classes
would be widespread. The best proof
of the faisity of this prophecy is found
ON the want pages Of the World Her
aid. The last issue at hand contains
the advertisements of two females and
seven males who want situations,
while on the same page the ''help want
ed" advertisements ask for LOT females
and 115 males This is in addition to
the agents wanted" and does not in
clude the advertisement for 1000 men
for railroad work. The calamity
prophecy was a failure in Mr.. Bryan's
own State, as it was elsewhere.
