EDITOR : It has been a long time since Pleasant Ridge has been represented in THK TRIBUNE , and we wonder if there are not many who read your paper who would like to hear from us through that medium , as we like to hear from other neighborhoods in the same way ; and while to us news or any thing out of the ordinary is scarce , still there may be now and then something that will beef -of interest.

J. W. Speer and family left , last week , to make a visit to Mrs.Speer's parents in Taylor county , Iowa , with the hope of benefitting Mrs. Speer's health , which seems thoroughly undermined ; and all think the trip overland will be better than medicine for her. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a Great Favorite. The soothing and healing properties of this remedy , its pleasant taste and prompt and permanent cures have made it a favorite with people everywhere.

Pointer's Term Will Close With a Deficiency of at Least $100,000. Facts and Figures Taken From the Official Kecorcls Which Will Ad mit of No Dispute , Important Statistics Ileiiring on the Wealth and Itesources of the Farm. Omaha , Auf , ' . 27. It Is a low esti mate to say that at the close of the fiscal year the state of Kebraska will be facing a delicit In the funds for the maintenance of the various state in stitutions of not less than $100,000. If anything , the amount will be larger. Neither is this mere conjecture. Al ready the records in the auditor's of fice at Lincoln reveal a large short age , and , assuming that there will be no increase in the rate of expenditures , the deduction leads up to these figures. At best the shortage cannot fall below the ? 100,000 mark. This is certainly a bad showing for the Poynter administration , consider ing the fact that the last legislature appropriated for general purposes more than $2,000,000. More thiu $500,000 was appropriated for salaries and wages alone and yet , generally speaking , there will be a large shortage In these funds. The records in the auditor's office at this very time , with six months' ex penses unprovided for , show a shortage - ago in the funds appropriated for the Normal School at Peru , the Institute for the Blind at Nebraska City , the Pish Hatchery at South Bend , the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Milford - ford , the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Grand Island , the Institute for Fee ble Minded Youth at Beatrice , the Asylum for the Insane at Norfolk , the Industrial School at Kearney , the Asy lum for the Insane at Lincoln in short , they show a shortage in the funds of every state institution. These facts are taken from the offi cial records and they cannot be suc cessfully refuted. The records also show an utter disregard for law in the matter of diverting funds. While the law contemplates that specific ap propriations shall be used only to meet obligations against such funds , the practice in general is to use many specific funds as general funds. The custom is , where a fund is exhausted , to draw on some other fund specific ally appropriated for other purposes , an act clearly in violation of law. That the present fusion administra tion has been an expensive luxury to the people of Nebraska can no longer be denied. It is a fact , which the of ficial figures will substantiate , that at the end of Governor Poynter's present term the state of Nebraska will have paid out more money and incurred more indebtedness in the way of def icits and unpaid bills for the main tenance of the public institutions than for any other two years since the state was admitted to the Union. Neither is there any excuse for this large deficiency. The last legislature was liberal in its appropriations , and , while it did not appropriate the large amount demanded by the heads of the various state institutions , for the sim ple reason that it would have imposed a hardship on tax payers , it appropri ated an amount which , had the insti tutions been honestly and econom ically managed , would have been abundantly sufficient. Fallacious Prophecy. Back in the olden times , when the people were less tolerant and the lamp of reason and intelligence shone less brightly than today , false prophets were frequently exiled and false prophecies were put under a ban. Not so today. The spectacle of to day is that of a false prophet running for president on the Democratic ticket with his false prophecies recast into a platform of principles. Of all the prophets , Bryan has been the most prolific and at the same time has made more and greater mistakes. In the campaign of 1S9G he said that a Republican victory would bring untold distress and suffering. Is there one man in Nebraska who be lieves it today ? On the contrary , isn't it the universal belief , and is it not an established fact , that the country is more prosperous in general than for many years ? Bryan said Republican victory meant industrial slavery. Where is it ? Bryan said Republican victory meant low prices for farm products. Has that come true is there a farmer In Nebraska today who believes it ? Bryan said a gold standard would Impoverish the masses and decrease the purchasing capacity of labor and farm products. Has. this come true ? Is there a farmer who will say that he fs getting less for his cattle , hogs , corn , wheat , oats , butter , wool , or any other product of the farm , than he re ceived four years ago ? Is there a la borer who will say that he is getting less pay for his work than he received four years ago ? Bryan's philosophy was fallacious then and it is just as fallacious now. There is no more logic or truth in his philosophy of today than there was four years ago. It was without foundation - " dation in fact then and it is without foundation In fact now. It was in tended to frighten the people then and It is Intended to frighten the people now. Everybody admits that he was wrong In 1890 , not in one prophecy , not in one Instance , but in all. What right , what excuse has any one to of fer for pretending to believe In his vagaries today ? Bryan has himself deserted his philosophy of 1S9U. He has taken another tack , not o/ifiils own volition , but his philosophy of 1890 has been shattered by the logic of events and there is nothing left of them but the reverberating echoes of the calamity forebodings of the "boy orator , " so he has been forced to seek shelter behind a new orthodoxHe has taken cover behind "militarism" and "imperialism , " something new to the voters and something therefore with which they may be more easily duped. If elected , his peculiar brand of "militarism" when analyzed would bo found to be that hydra-headed monster , free trade ; and his "impe rialism , " free silver. Bryan and his party may rant about "militarism" and "imperialism , " but behind it all and the hidden motive , is to get into position to promote the cause of free trade and free silver. No one knows better than Bryan that his free trade and free silver sophistry has lost caste with the people. No one knows better than he that it would be politi cal suicide to attempt to conduct a campaign in defense of these princi ples. Free silver and free trade are dead. Republican prosperity has dis credited thorn in the minds of the people ple and has stamped them out forever. Mr. Bryan still adheres to them , but , with all his boasted fortitude , he dare not attempt openly to impress them upon the minds of the electors. The Farmers Prosper. The American Agriculturist will hardly be accused of being a partisan publication. It is one of the oldest , as well as most substantial of the period icals devoted to the interests of the farmers , and whatever appears in its columns is worthy of credence and consideration. In the Issue of this magazine for March 17 , 1900 , an arti cle appeared which gives very clearly the condition of the farmer today as compared with his condition during the years of Democratic suprem acy in the ' 90s. These figures were in most part derived from sources which the Agriculturist vouches for as accu rate. The editor indulged in a little in dependent investigation along these lines and from answers from a list of many hundred correspondents , in whom he placed great faith , he de rived the figures which he gives in the article from which we condense the folloAving : The advance in farm values in the United States in the year 1900 as com pared with the years of Democratic depression , 1894-90 , is shown by the following figures : Gain in value live stock. . . $098,000,000 Gain in value staple crops. 401,000,000 Gain in value live stock products 70,000,000 Gain in value other prod ucts . . . . ' . 200,000,000 Total gain $1,009,000,000 Gain in real estate $2,530,000,000 Total advance. $4,219,000,000 The above figures show that the pro duce of farms of the United States in the year 1899 realized to the farmers $1,000,000,000 more than in any of the years 1894-90. The farm values for 1899 are given as follows : Land , buildings , etc $14,500.000,000 Live stock 2,538,000,000 Improvements and ma chinery 500,000,000 Total $17,538,000,000 The total of these items in the Dem- cratic year 1893 was $14,200,000,000 and the highest previous figure reached was in 1889 , when the total was $13,984,000,000. The prices received by the farmers per head for live stock in 1900 com pared with the lowest point since 1892 , which was during the years of Democratic depression , is shown in the following table : Low Point 1900 Horses $33.03 $43.00 Mules 39.CO 48.07 Cows . 21.40 31.12 " Cattle 14,15 24.83 Sheep 1.00 2.97 Hogs 4.13 4.99 The editor of the Agriculturist turns from these figures , showing the pros perous condition of the farmers , to an other line of argument , which is also a very telling one. He takes up the question of farm mortgages and he finds that ten years ago the farms of the United States - were encumbered to the amount of $1,080,000,000. This rear fins large amount has been re duced to $800,000,000. In 1890 the av erage size of each mortgage was $1,224. In 1900 the average size was $1,000. In 1890 , 74 per cent of these mortgages were for purchase price and improvements , the rate of interest was' 0.3 per cent and the percentage of value of the farms mortgaged was SSG. This year 78 per cent of the mort gages are for purchase price and im provements , the rate has declined to ( I flat , and only 27 per cent of the value of the farms of the United States fire covered by mortgage. These figures are undoubtedly as nearly correct as it is possible to obtain. They were gathered , as stated above , by a period ical which is non-partisan and the re sults given were not shaded in favor of either party. That they indicate , however , a large gain in all that goes to make .for the prosperity of the farmer is a fact , and one which should call the attention of the people bene fited to their duty to vote the Repub lican ticket.
