A GREAT BEAR SKIM
~ was Btaet Grizzly hide and clad
stone Has DIned on N.


From ne FoHs7s oia rims.
Kansas City has the distinction of
possessing, through one Of her citizens.
the largest bear skin in The country, and,
presumably, the largest In the world.
Although not yet two years old as de.
tsched skin, u has an interesting his
tory. The immense rug is owned hv
Mr. s. NJ Jarvis, Of this city. and occu
pies a place of honor in the centre OF
his drawing room u Is twelve feet
long by ten feet wide, not counting the
head, tail OF legs, all Of which are at.
tatchcd and appear as natural almost,
IS life
The bear q black grizzly, was
killed some time during the winter Of
1883 and 1859 on Bear Lake, I'm Utah
His mate and two cubs were Killed 40
the same time The bear when killed
WEIGHED $50 pounds The skin was
bought by Mr.. Jarvis, who was about
thattime 10 the neighborhood of Bear
Lake looking up some property inter
ests. While IL was being prepared for
use as a rug the fame Of the big bear skin
got abroad through the local newspap-
ers, and among others who tried to buy it
was representative Of the University OF
Pennsylvania. This gentleman offered
a 100 for it, but although the original
purchaser had secured IL for much
smaller sum, he refused to sell it at any
price The rug was shipped to Mr..
Jarvis last Christmas.
Now comes the part in the history u
the big bear. skin Of which the old rriZ.
zly's posterity in the mountains Of Utah
may well be proud. just before the
famous Stanley dinner, given In London
In honor Of the great explorer May 30,
$780, Mr.. Henry s. Welcome, chair.
man Of the committee on the big en-.
tertainment who had been In Kansas
City and had been particularly struck
with the handsome trophy Of the forest,
asked FOR it to use on the occasion.
A rare collection of such things deco.
rated the banquet hall and the bear
skin occupied prominent place on the
wall.
Some time after the big dinner Miss
Dorothy Tennant, then SANKEY'S iiancee
and the present Mrs Stanley, wrote to
Mr.. Welcome asking for the use OF
the rug for a short time. Her wish
was gratliied, and when a few days ago
Mr.. Jarvis received the rug from Lon.
den II was accompanied by a letter from
Miss Tenant thanking MIR. Welcome
FOR II, and describing luncheon which
she had served on il TO the Right Hon.
William Gladstone and Mr.. Stanley.

THE M'KINLEY PRICES.

There is disposition among Repub-
lican pr0tectiOniStS to feel aggrieved
that tariff refOrmerS do not give as much
attention to prices of articles as related
to the MCKINLEY bill as few months
ago. The immediate occasion was re-
lieyed by general experimental &C
Quaintance. Circumstances and the
financial situation have in some rela-
tons delayed or instigated the advance.
but 1t is the fact. as asserted, that i'm
ported goods, and those that have come
in competition with such, have adj
vanced in price. The large stocks inn
ported before the tariff came into opera
ton are in some. perhaps most cases,
sold without the tariff advance on ac-
count of the pressure of an over
supply and insufficient demand as
we'll as the necessity to realize
on the goods. In the West the I'M
expected mildness of the winter has
restricted the buyer to such an extent
that prices are cut below the margins
of ordinary business in order to avoid
carrying the goods over. This is not
the Legitimate operation of the Nc
KINIEY bin. The object of that is to
Increase prices. Did it fail to do so ad-
ditional duties would nave been de-
manded if its friends had not been
given knock-down by the people. The
operation of the measure has indicated
the estimate taken of it in the Novem-
Der ballot. and it will be severely
pruned when the opportunity is af-
forded,

THE HORTON CASE.

The famous HORTON murder trial
reached conclusion, last evening, and
whatever may have been the public
sentiment touching the guilt or innO-
cence of the accused, there will be no
surprise at the verdict of acquittal. 1t
was the general belief from the begin
ming that it would be impossible, with
the purely circumStantiai evidence at
hand. to secure a conviction. 1t may
seem little difficult to explain why a
jury should deliberate for twenty hours
and then reach verdict. Horton was
guilty or not guilty. There was no
middle ground. If guilty, he was guilty
of a willful, deliberate murder and no
lesser degree of guilt could possibly be
arrived at. And this fact may explain
the final conversion of the jury to the
theory of innocence, by means of the
safeguard provided by the law that
guilt must be established beyond a
doubt. 1t was plainly not so established
in this case.
The trial was q notable one, in its
way, but will add nothing to the juris-
prudence of the state> while it takes
much from the public treasury. 1t Is a
relief that it is over. The morbid hun
gerlng of the public for the salacious
and the sensational must find relief in
other directions.

editorial writer, novelist and historian.
He is profoundly courteous, and his
parliamentary colleagues are said to
lament his distressing want of native
ferocity." He is an abnormally early

writer is coincident with the production
OF stream of pleasant fiction, which
appears at regular intervals. He is also

BIGOTS In POLITICS.

All Yankees are not narrow and
mean. or bigoted and illiberal, This
country is indebted to the sons of New
England for much of the nobleSt blood
and grandest endeavor that have blessed
the nation and the world, but it has
been stated that when a Yankee is
mean he can concentrate more of the
ignoble into small compass than any
other human being. Here is Senator
FRYE, of Maine. who, if not much of
statesman. has passed for an average
Republican politician of his state. He
says in recent speech in the senate:
THE moment man becc mes Democrat
he becomes ut once capable of attempting
any fraud in the matter of voting
There is room for charity for this
Maine man. BLAINE has at times ut
tered charges that he knew had no large
fraction of truth in them. A clearer
headed and brainier Republican than
he, who was much wiser in his later
day, once allowed his partisan tide to so
far get the better OF his judgment as to
say that all the Untitled possessors of
horses were Democrats. Such things
induce laughter for their absurdity
rather than anger at theil malevolent
mendaclty. The retort upon FRYE is
easy and may present All array that even
fair Republicans do not ser ously ques-
ton. Who ROW heSltateS to believe that
President HAYES was the product of
chicanery in the voting act, and HAIR
RISON was facilitated to the White house
10y blocks of five in his own state and
corruption in other quarters not needful
to recall. There are blots all along the
steppings of the Republican party. 1t
is not insisted. on the other hand, that
salntliness has invariably walked at
the head of the Democratic procession.
Not all Republicans would consent to
practice frauds in elections to promote
party success. Many usually consci-
entiouS ones have at times been per-
suadcd that the attainment of party
ends was a patriotic necessity. and have
winked at what was facetiously termed
Fighting the devil with fire. But the
masses i'll all parties are honest and de-
sire the use Of only lawful and decent
methods in politics. 1t would be a
dangerous outlook for the country if it
were not so. 1t may be conceded, per-
hapS, that there are as many honest Re-
publicans as there are Democrats, but
comparisons are odorous." Sancti-
mOniouS SniffierS like FRYE are the
relics of an earlier time in politics and
can be laughed at now
