NEBRASKA As AN OBJECT LESSON.
Things the Peerless One FIOuted Have
Come to Pass.

ANN inv AOuNGo
Come to Pass.
Cleveland Leader.
One OF the most remarkable advances in
the general level OF land values which
has been recorded in recent years has
taken place in central Nebraska, which is
Bryan's country. The average rise In the
market price in the last seven or eight
years is stated at about 100 per cent. In
many instances 1t has been 200 per cent or
more. Farms not we'll located, and hence
at the bottom OF the market, sell for $40
to so an acre, instead of 81 to IS an acre
ten years ago. The best farm land has
brought 500 IN acre, in exceptional in
stances.
The noteworthy feature of this situation
is the utter defiance of economic laws, as
laid down by Bryan. The things which
have happened are precisely those which
he said could never take place without
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio Of sixteen to one. without
waiting for the aid or consent of any other
nation" etc. Mr., Bryan has been Knocked
by events and flouted by the development
of his own state. Everything has gone
wrong with him, as a prophet. He has
been stranded on the shore of a Dead Sea
of withered predictions and blighted
theories.
Such conditions are enough to put any
campaign In mourning at the outset. They
make the Bryan fight a dismal affair be-
fore 1t begins.

THE MORNING AFTER.

TITS the last red firecracker
Left lying alone;
All It's former companions
Are bursted and gone.
Not one of its kindred
Nor loved one is nigh
To observe its last sputter
Or hear its last sigh.
It lies on the sidewalk
But none takes Il up-
Little Willie has wandered
Downtown with the pup
To inquire Of the doctor
If dogs grow new tails,
For a bunch OF firecrackers
Filled puppy with walls.
Uncle Thomas is resting
Upstairs on a cot
He must lay on his stomach,
His back is so hot;
PoCs old grandpa is moaning
In grizzled despair,
For a hayward skyrocket
Took his beard and hair.
Papa has his head b%andaged
In coverings neat,
And a surgeon Is fixing
The burns on his feet:
Mamma thinks she'l recover
The use of her arms,
Though the redfire that burned them
Caused eight fire alarms.
IT'S the last red firecracker
Where Il was flung down
Ere the mantle OF silence
Fell over the town;
There's no one to explode Il;
II lies where 1t fell
And must wait for ignition
TIL someone gets well.

The justice, writing the majority opinion
