Bryan's Great Blow.

Lincoln, Nov. 7.-"We have been shot full of holes," is the way Colonel Bryan's closest friends refer to yesterdays cleo tion. The crushing defeat of the Nebraskan has brought deep gloom to the populist national headquarters.
 Bryan's dearest hope was for a plurality of popular votes whether successful or defeated, and the blow staggers him. The great republican gains in Lin coin and the state of Nebraska were least expected by Bryan.
 The fusionists probably con trol the legislature, which will insure Bryan seat in the U. $. senate. As soon as Bryan learned of his defeat for the presidency his first question was concerning the legislature.
 The race between Poynter, fusionists, and Deitrich, repub- lican, for governor, is very close.
 Bryan slept while the returns came in but not until he had been assured of defeat.

The overwhelming republican vic tory, which seems to have swept the country almost from one end to the other, while somewhat of a surprise, still it was not wholly unexpected, as the republicans had been levying trib- ute from every petty office holder for the past two years, while the trusts and the manufacturers were compell- ed to turn loose their stolen wealth by the millions. It was victory for the trusts, bought and paid for with gold, and with promises of federal support of the future.
 Some of the most unpleasant feat ures of the election are as follows:
 McKinley's vote in the electoral col lege will be about 300.
 Texas redeemed herself and will send a solid democratic delegation to congress. Well, that is some consola- tion, but what else should be expected of Texas?
 Outside of the south, which is no longer solid, only two states are surely democratic; Colorado and Montana alone are conceded to Bryan, these being the two chief silver producing states.
 Colorado's majority of 135,OOO four years ago has been cut down to B, 900.
 Montana gives but 10000 against 32,OOO then.
 Idaho and Nevada, two other silver producing states, seem to be probably democratic but are claimed by the republicans.
 Maryland gives 15,OOO for Mckinley and sends a solid republican delega- tion to congress.
 The northwest has reversed it's yer dict of four years ago.
 In Kansas the democratic plurality of 12, 269 has been changed into one for Mckinley of 10000.
 Washington now gives Mckinley 5000 plurality.

The Rats They Eat.

"The current impression that China
men eat rats-I mean ordinary Ameri-
can rats-is all nonsense" said DR..
James j. Mason, a well known Chi
nese missionary, chatting about his ex-
periences in the Flowery Kingdom.
"The truth in regard to it is this:
There is small animal in China
known colloquially as the tsui-chow,
that Is often bred especially for food.
1t infests the ricefelds, and is about
the size Of an ordinary rat but has
longer body and a head shaped some
thing like that Of a ferret. 1t is a very
prolific creature and is sold in enor-
nous numbers in all the markets Of the
great cities-neatly cleaned and skew
cred apart and strung in punches Of
20 or 30 on bamboo reeds.
"The tsui-chow is strictly an edible
animal, and, feeding entirely on rice, it
naturally has very delicate and sayory
flesh. have eaten them, and if I had
been able to get the rat idea out Of my
mind would have relished the dish.
They taste something like young squir-
rels, and alive or dead are certainly
much less repulsive than many things
we commonly esteem as delicacies-
cells and frogs, for example"
