to emphasize the fusion victory in Ne

no effort to explain the causes, though
a number of leaders in this city differ
it IS a rebuke to the national admins
tratiOn. They maintain that the gains
are only over last year when the fu-
siOnists fell far short of their normal
strength. They point out the fact that
former Governor HOlcOmb when he ran
for governor the last time, carried the
state by 2LOOO.
Not enough figures have yet been re-
ceiVed to base even a moderately safe
estimate on the congressional election
in the Sixth district to fill a vacancy,
but with the balance Of the state going
as it did. it is altogether improbable
that the Republicans have overcome a
fusion majority of over 5000 in that
district.
Omaha, Nov. S.-Complete returns by
counties are coming in very slowly. but

a Danish Campaign Against Rats.

We hear that in Denmark a cam
paign against rats is being prosecuted
with vigOr. It was originally started
in Copenhagen, about a month ago,
where the alarming multiplication of
the rats induced the municipal authori-
ties to resort to a medieval method
(perhaps we should even say a prehis-
toric method) of freeing the community
from beasts of prey. As a price was
once offered for every head of a wolf,
so the conscript fathers of the Danish
capital engaged to pay a certain sum
(we do not know the exact amount Of
their ''ducat') for each dead rat. An
official report CT the statistics of rat
slaughter has been issued every week
since the opening of the campaign. In
the first week the rat catchers, pro-
fessionals and amateurs, gave in the
heads of 5000 rats, in the second week
6,616, in the third week $3.50. We are
told that the average weekly bill of
mortality among the rat population of
Copenhagen has now risen to about ten
thousand Other towns and communes
followed the example of the capital
and the Danes are making a patriotic
attempt to exterminate the petty
wolf as Hendrix not inaptly named
the rat.-London News.
