DEATH OK ISIIYANARCIIY.
Brynnarchy is dead died Nov. 0. 1900
Killed hy American votes. Shot to
death hy democrats , rppuhlicans and
others. Like a meteor it flashed across
the political sky ; like a fallen star it
vanished in darkness. Buried in 1800
beneath 271 electoral votes ; resurrected
at Kansas City , nursed to life by Oroker ,
Jones and divers Bryanarchists.
encouraged by Petty-grew , Hitchcock
and the popocrats. Like an ill omened
banshee it swept across the country and
threatened to hypnotize the people to
discontent The peoplu buried it under
an avalanche of ballots so deep that all
time will fail resurrect it. Like an
evil spirit it poured its poisoned venom
to arouse the pa sion of hatred , vilified
the finer , belittled its defenders , arrayed
the poor against the rich , capital against
labor. It besought thei people to follow
false gods to the. dusert of Bryanan hy. It
would make us believe that expansion it-
a crime , that Jefferson. Jackson and the
statesmen of the past erred in territorial
annexation , although the democratic-
party battled for that idea for seventy
yearn and added the trans Mississippi
country to the republic. It assailed
sound currency , and asked us to mire in
the slough of 16 to 1 amidst the quick
sands of the free silver heresy. Like a
mirage it tempted us to wander and
quench our thirst in the alkali waters ot
national dishonesty , while wo are at the
height of financial greatness. A great
personality has fallen , and with its fall
popocracy broke asunder the pillars that
supported that organization and doomed
its existence. Bryanarchy is not democ
racy. People flocked to see and hear
Bryan as they "would to see a freak , a
novelty , an eccentricity. He was elo
qneut , brilliant , but theoretic and
illogical. He was fluent in words and
faulty in reason. His private life was
blameless , his personal character exeni
plary , still he advocated principles that
won applause from the slums and cham
pioned idea that fired imarcihy as u spark
fires a powder magazine , that stirred
the worst elements of society to violence
The American people , awoke to their
interest , saw through the fake of Bryan
archy and crushed it beneath a blow of
disapproval so stunning , so pulverizing
that there is no mistaking their meaning.
Not satisfied four years ago with an
ignominious defeat , Bryanarchy .propped
up by new issues and embracing all the
dangerous isms of 1896 , invited a second
defeat So the people throttled it in
Nebraska where it was cradled in its
infancy in the lap of popocracy and
there they choked it to death in its last
desperate struggle for existence. Bryan
archy is dead. Oroker was its prophet ,
Jones its physician , and Public Con
demnation its gravedigger.

GLOllE SIGHTS.
The republicans are particularly
pleased over the defeat of Senator Petti-
grew ot South Dakota , the republican
who joined the populists , and who has
since been impudent and unscrupulous
in opposing republican methods. A
newspaper wit has written a poem on
rhe subject , and attributed it to Mark
HIUIHU :
Tell HIP , Mark , oh tell mo truf > ,
Hast thou knocked out Pettigrow ?
Yes. Billy , it is true ,
Wo have defeated Pt-ttigrow.
Your joy I share with you ,
Whoop CH do dee dee !
Whoop do dondle dee I
As the figures show , wo throw
A few
Hooks into Pettigrow 1
Wo ripned his Hag in two ,
Wo stopped his hullabaloo
Wo drew
The fangs from Puttigrew.
The old , red white and blue
Flies where it always How
Adieu
To the grewsomo Pettigrew.
The states Bryan curried , outside of
Kentucky and Missouri , are those he
did not visit. Last spring he made a
tour of the Pacific coast , and the repub
lican pluralities there are heavily in
creased. He wont to Maryland repeat
edly. and the democratic majority ot
12.0UO last year is changed to a repub
licau majority of 18.000. Mr. Bryan
gave particular attention to Indiana.
The republican majority there is de
cidedly larger than it was in 1896. Ohio
nearly doubled its republican lead after
Bryan had spoken across the state sev
eral times. The most remarkable
change in Bryan's favor was in Boston ,
where he did not. go during the campaign.
He spoke in Missouri , and his plurality
dropped 85,000. Atchison Globe.
GOOD BUTCH UK SENSE.
A PhiladelphiaPH. , marketman offers
the following sound advice :
"What the newspapers should do is to
devote less space to describing what
people should wear and more to what
they should eat , " remarked thebutchar.
"Fashionably dressed women come in
here every day who don't know lamb
from mutton , nor a hen from a rooster.
No wonder men have dyspepsia 1 I find
that men know more about the quality
of food stuffs than women do Many
of the latter don't even know the few
simple tests that might help them to dis
tinguish an old fowl from a young one ,
and about meat they're greener yet. A
young woman came in here the other
day and asked for two pounds of veal
cutlets. I showed her the loins I pro
posed to chop rhe cutlets from , and she
remarked : 'Yes , that's very nice bub
isn't it rather thick to fry ? ' "
