it does not eeem possible that anything
that can be done now will revive it. The
truth is the free silver business in thia
state has been overdone. It has been
too much talked about, and too much
written about; the people are tired .of it,
tired of the demagogic pleas made in its
behalf, tired of the general free silver
buncombe; and the inevitable reaction
is now on. Th?re will be enough corn
raised in Nebraska this year to keep
down the free silver fad.

No man in President Cleveland's cab- ried a gun in his pocket and a desire for
inet has the marked individuality and gore in his soul, and those who know
intellectual strength possessed by the him can imagine him in his element in
gentleman from Nebraska City who has this latest scheme to hunt geese,
charge of the agricultural and general
letter writing departments of the gov
ernment; and no member of the cabinet
has made such an impiession on the
people of the country. The press every
where acknowledges the strength of Mr.
Morton, and he is frequently mentioned
as a possible nominee of the democratic
party for president. The democratic
party might go farther and fare worse.
It might even stay in New York state
and do worse. It is doubtful; if, on the
whole, a better nomination could be
made. Possibly the only bar to Mr.
Morton's popularity is the idea some
what generally entertained that he is
an aristocrat democrats are not overly
fond of aristocrats. But Mr. Morton
might overcome that.
There is in this city a feeling that the
faithful members of the democratic
party in Lincoln and Nebraska are
not getting their deserts under the ad
ministration of President Cleveland; and
sympathy for these patriots might get
Mr. Morton some republican votes
should he be a candidate for president.
Who would not like to see those dem
ocrats of high conviction, Andrew Jack
son Sawyer and John Ames and Albert
Watkins et. al., appreciated at their true
value, and rewarded according to their
merits? If J. Sterling Morton should
ever be president these faithful demo
crats who know what it is to Bhiver in
the cold would in all probability feel
the warm and grateful touch of presi
dential favor. Here's to Mr. Morton as
a presidential candidate!
The effort to stir up enthusiasm for
the cause of free silver on the part of
the management of the Merchants Day
outing, was intended as a coup; but no
particular importance was given to it.
As a matter of fact free silver has suf
fered greatly in Nebraska in the last
three months, It is on the decline, and
On the fir&t page of The Courier ap
pears the portrait of Willard Kimball,
the director of the university Conser
vatory of Music. Mr. Ki tiball has a
most important work on his hands, and
the success which be has already
achieved gives reason to believe that
the musical department of the uni
versity will develop into a most useful
institution under his management. The
second year of the conservatory
will open in a few weeks, and
the attendance already secured is twice
as large as that of last year. This is
not a paid notice, but a gratuitous com
pliment given to Mr. Kimball because
of the belief that he is doing earnest,
conscientious, able work in the cause of
musical culture in this city and state,
One of the most valued assistants in the
conservatory is Mrs. P. V. M. Raymond,
whose musical standing was long since
established and who enjoys marked
popularity among the musical people
of the city. Mrs. Raymond's thorough
ness in vocal training has been highly
complimented by some of the best
singers in the country who have
visited Lincoln. Mrs. Raymond's por
trait appears on the opposite page.
AN APPLICABLE TERM.
Mrs. Snaggs (newspaper in hand)

propriateness as in the account I have
just read.
Mr. Snaggs What is there particular

Mrs. Snaggs The bride was five feet
