Niedringhaus to Kansas City
MONDAY the Journal mans edi
torial expresses our own senti-
ments in the following language.
ITO say that Niedringhaus is
entitled to the loyal support and
hearty sympathy of every Re.
publican in his labors is but an,
other way of saying that party
loyalty should outweigh person
al feelings of whatever charac
ter. The man who holds back
and refuses to give his best eff
forts to promote Mr.. Niedring
haUs' laudable mission because
of personal differences or faction
al considerations in the past is
not worthy to be ranked as a Re
publican. And. above all, the
obligation to join in a harmoui-
Gus pull for the party's success
is strongest upon the Republi-
can oficeholders, federal, state.
county and municipal, who are
enjoying hOnors and drawing sal
aries by reason of past sue
cesses, achieved by the unselhsh
support of the thousands Of vo-
ters and party workers who ask
no other reward than the pride
and satisfaction derived from the
triumph of party principles and
the vindication of Republican
policies.
Whatever Mr.. Niedr;ughaus'
merits OF dement's as a candi-
date for United States senator,
or for any other honor in the gift
of the people, the fact can not be
disputed that in the last cam
paign he gave the party in Mis-
souri, the best organization il has
ever had. Whatever other
causes contributed TO the result
the fact remains that Mr.. Med
ringhaus was at the head of the
state organization which led the
Republican hosts 20 victory.
Whatever his personal motives
and future ambitions may be AIR
Niedringhaus is entitled TO the
thanks and gratitude of all Re
publicans for what he has done
TO redeem Missouri from Bour-
bon rule, rs well as to unques-
tioning, unfaltering support in
his efforts to keep the state per-
manently in the Republican col.
umn.

Trade with the merchants OF Can

1t was thought that the opening OF
new stores and the Improvement of
the old would result in the trade be-
ing overdone This view would no
doubt have proven correct were it not
for the increased business from the
territory contiguous to the city. 1t is
estimated that the trade from this
quarter has fully doubled the retail
business of the city and at that the
full development of the resources has
been but scratched. Canton Ior years
failed to secure the trade of the coun-

this it is unnecessary to now go over,
but suffice it to say that there was
mistaken idea prevailing in many
quarters that new business and new
people would disturb the status quo
of the city and that such acquisitions
should be deplored.
The merchants of today are on the
right track, and they are making
strenuous efforts to corral all of the
outside trade that they can secure

PLOT TO KILL
Suspected--in Chicago Leads Chief Of
Department to Begin Searching
Investigation.

Chicago, Dec 6.-Suspecting a plot
to kill those active in pushing the
charges which forced Police Inspec-
tor LAWN to resign recently, Chief of
Police Collins has begun an investi-
cation of the incendiary fire yester-
day morning in the home of DR.. Anna
B. Schultz and her husband The
first broke out in four places, and,
after it had been extingulshed, anoth-
er started in three parts OF the house.
The Schultzs narrowly escaped with
their lives. DR. Schultz and her hus-
band were two of the strongest wit
nesses in the graft accusations
against LAWN A recent attempt was
made to poison the husband. 1t is
not believed that LAWN was impli-
Gated in the murder attempts, but that
some of his partisans are trying to
avenge him. Though he was acquitted
by the merit board the scandal was so
great that he confessed he thought it
unwise for him to remain in Office.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-Arsenic in sur
fic.ent quantities to cause death was
found in the stomach of Martin Vrzal
whose death was followed by that of
his wife and five children. The moth
er is knoVn to have died from pois-
oning, but it is possible that il was

four of the children arsenic has also
been found. They were supposed to
have succumbed to stomach trouble.
An analysis is yet TO be made of the
contents of the fifth childs stomach,

cruelties practiced in the killing.
Many drop by the wayside during the
drive" and are left to die, the skins
of all such having no market value.
The hunting season is very short,
as the animals are prime" for only
twenty-eight or thirty days. Conse-
quently, everything is done in great
haste. The "drive," which exteHss-
over miles of rough, stony country,
from the sea to the vicinity of some
village, is hurried and inhuman. They
are allowed to rest occasionally, and
again at the killing grounds, but for
purely commercial reasons, for II
killed while over heated and in a
state of exhaustion the fur would be
yalueless. The next step is TO mar
shal them in a long column of from
three to five abreast and drive them
between men armed with heavy clubs,
anr as. they pass their skulls are
crushed. The great rapidity with
which this work is conducted pre-
vents the certainty Of instant death,
and as they are cast aside in great,
piles, many lie there suffering.
The poorer class, the SCARED, and
those whose fur is not in good con-
dItion, together with the breeding
seals, are allowed to find their way
back TO the sea.

what is called the fur seal is, prop
probably more nearly related to the
bear than to the true seal. A note
worthy item is that the short, soft,
thick fur, which is SO beautiful, is
generously sprinkled with long,
stiff, white hair, which, in the process,
of dressing. must be removed.
There are two methods emnlayed in
the hunting, one. referred to above,
as pursued by the British government,
being the open sea, or pelagic. seal
ing. The animals are killed-by spear
ing them as they lay peacefully sleep
ing on the water. The raids" are
made in the breeding season, and the
males do net feed during that time,
but when the puppy seals are about a
week old the mother ventures out TO
sea In search of food. After feeding
she lays asleep on the water, and the
sealers steal upon her and end her
life. The pups left on land are too
small and feeble to care for them
selves, and they are simply allowed
to starVe to death on the frozen snow.
During the nineteenth century the
destruction of breeding females, liter
ally by the millions, sadly depleted
the herds and practically exterminat-
ed them in southern waters. whence
came the most valuable skins. They
have. for some time, been protected
by the government, and Delagic seal
| ing In northern waters is limited as
to time, place and manner, while only
licensed sealing vessels are permit
tea to engage in fur sealing.
While the British method elimin-
ates the reproductive class and Is
cruel in its results, the Americans,
who kill on land and select only
bachelor" seals, are far more bar
barous and inhuman In their killing.
The land drive in itself untold suf-
fering for these animals. fitted with
no feet for dry land and compelled
