The question demoorats ask themeelves is: Who is responsible for the disaster that has befallen their party and retiras forever, from control of na- To our mind the answer y simple. The defeat of demoe- y is chiefly, if not entircly, due to the tussel of the democratic pig at (he political trough.

When Cleveland oame into power he could not erowd out the republicans fast enough ot the mor of the hungry an ty democrats who had been twenty-four years waiting for a chance at Uncle Sams’ crib. By the end of his term, when he had filled nearly every office in his gift with a democrat, there were still thou- sands upon thonsands hungry and un- satistied. In the desperate stru be- tween the Ins and Outs the entire erib was overturned, On the other hand, the republicans, for the first time in sixteen years, mavched upon the battlefield in solid areay. They had no patro to fight over,and were anxious to retrieve the d ter of four years ago. matter of fact, the united re- publican party constitutes an in- disputable mujovity of the American people to-day—north as well as south. This majority has asserted itself at the polls. It was lavge enough not to be counted out or suppressed, and the fight between the democratic factions of w York made this possible. Dana’s talik about Cleveland being beaten by forcing an educational issue on the tavifl is mere gabble. e would have been beaten in a fair contest by a united republican pacty without refe ence to the T. The best proof of this is tho fact that New Jersey and Connecticut, two states full of mills and factories, went democrati now as they did four years ngo. Cali- fornia, which was supposed to be in- tonsely agitated over Cleveland's tarvift messages, came near going democratic, while Kansas, where there ave scareely any factories,rolled up seventy thousand majority for Havrison. The majorities of Harrison in New York and Indiana searecly onc per cent of the vote polled, which shows that the effcet of the tavifl clatter had no marked effect on the working people. In « nutshell, democracy has beaten becuuse it is in he minority in the pivotal states, and lost whatever ad- vantage it gained by prestige and power in the factional contest among spoils- hunters. EXPLAINING DEFEAT. Our democratic contemporary, the derald, has some sensible views regard- ing the causes of democratic defeat. It observes that “when the truth can be fully exposed it will probably be found that there was too much prominence ven to the south in demoeratic poli- 5. The BEE has alveady pointed u\n the significance of the result of the election as a rebuke to the conspicuous part tuken by the southern politicians in shaping democratic policy and con- dueting the democratic campaign, and it is rather gratifying to tind a nov ern democratic journal agreeing with this view and having the candor to state its opinion. There is a lesson in this ex- perience which the democrats of the north ought to seriously - consider, and it is the duty of papers occupying the position of the Herald to itpress it upon them. When hereafter northern dem- oorats permit themselves to be wholly overridden by the southern ers of the party they must expect defeat. Our coutemporary says the Grand Army of the Republic *““has been abused into a mere political m andidates, But what ional demo- orat could have expected the organiz: to vote for the man whose course been persistently hostile to it? The and Army of the Republic owed nothing to Mr. Cleveland, who has shown himself to have not the least sympathy with the soldicr. It ow nothing to the demoeratic party, which approves fully of the attitude of Mr. Clevelund regavding the soldier. [t was most natural that the veterans should support their gallant comrade who headed the republican ticket and the party which had always befriended them. In performing lhl-ul\ll\ to them- selves and to the republican party there could be no greater injustice than to assume that they were nctuated by sen- timents arismg out of the war, or by any other motive than the commenda- ble ono of rebuking the party whic has shown the most unfviendly spivit toward them and of secking to protect themselves against a further exhibition of that hostility, If the G. A, R, was amere political machine in the late election, it was the abuse of the democratic president and party that made it so. THE LESSON T0 HASCALL Less than a year ago Isanc S, Hascall was elected councilman-at-large. He van way ahead of all other candidates on the ticket, and considercd himself one of the most popular men in Omaha, This mavked expression of confidence turned his head completel y, and he on- terved the council in the role of leader and dictator. Before he had f; warmed his seat in the eouncil, he made himself the center of a law-defying clique, and had the whole city in an up roar over the memorable police com mission fight, which he kept up for a whole senson, until the supreme eourt finally put an end to his revolutionary methods. ‘The rule or ruin volicy with ragard to the police was kept up with a ven- geance in dealing with the city hall, When the courts were invoked to en- join the abaudonment of the location, Hascall kept up the howl against the Meyers plan, and absurd pretensions about the dangerous east wall and foundations, until the season passed away, and the thirty thousand dollars expended on the eity hall basement ave visible only in a ruin.

While General Harrison could well have afforded any con- trast of personal character with his rival his supporters avoided any such issue and in sisted to the close that the contest should be one of principles, not men.

BEARS AND MOUNTAIN LIONS, How Brain Kills the Oattle and Then Preys Upon Them. Denver Tribune. There has been much complaint feom stockmen of bears killing both horses and cattle. Mount- ain lions have also been feeding on stock. During the past 18 months John Morris, vesiding about 20 miles from Morrison, on Elk ereek, Colorado, has had 55 Hereford cattle killed and wounded hy bears. Some of the larger cattle show evidence of having made a desperate fight before they were killod. The cattle that roam the plains and mountain parks are shy, but when at bay will fight. A bear can make good speed running in a streaight line, and hence, a man familine with this charac- tervistic of old Brum will take a zigzag cou 1T the bear once hugs th s of o horse or a cow. the animal soon be- comes a victim in the almost ivon clasp. In lowering their heads to hook, the boar sometimes scizes the cattle by the nose or head, John Morris had lost so many fine eattle that he resolved to put a stop to it. DPur- chasing two large traps he set them whe the bears had been accustomed to raid his stock. A few days ago he found a 800-pound bear snugly caught adesperate effort 1o break the chain, Mr. Morris shot the bear and brought the carenss asa trophy to Morvison, and then eame 1o Denver, when the story of the eapture was told.

A large lion attacked two horses and a colt of this ranch—Kkilling the colt and badly wounding the mother and a two-y old. The mare and the lion wa tervible fight. for the mother made a hard struggle to save hereolt, The mare bore evidences of this almost uncqual contest with the lion, for she was badly seratched and her cars were slit. In pawing at the lion the lattar had leaped upon her back. and only by a_tervible elort did she save herself. She was bleeding from various wounds when found in the morning. The colt was dead and the mare wis n ¢ exhausted from the re- sult of her struggle with the lion. The two-year-old colt was also budly scratched., but aped.

Bill 1s a typical frontiersman, and many a night in the mining camps I have seen him the center of an interested group, tell- ing of his many adventures with c mon and grizzlies.

Renowned as Moceasin Bill may be, the champion bear hunterof Colorado wis ,]n--wl' 1 and now very old. ides r Canon City, in Fre nmnv.wumy. His grandfather accom- panied Daniel Boone on his trip to Missouri, and *“‘Uncle Jesse,” as he is sommonly called, still has his grand- father’s old ritle that has killed many an Indian. Uncle Jesse located eight miles below Canon City, near the Royal Gorge, twenty-cight vears ago, where he plowed the first furrow in that sec- tion, using the fork of a cottonwood tree, one prong being the beam and th other the plowshare, That was the day of primitive farming in Colorado. Unele Jesse was greatly annoyed by bears that were then very numerou: as i the Wet mountain five miles distant, and many a thritling experience he has had witn the bears of the Rockies. He cin tell more - stories in the R mountains than anyone else. 1In N.n he shot at a cinnamon bear within a few rods of his house and drew it to his cabin with a yoke of oxen. That night his little mountain abode was sur- rounded by angry and growling boars that made the night hideous with their wailing. On one oceasion he had a terrvible en- counter with an old grizzly. Uncle v flne shot, though, and when y started for him ou its hind unded bruin in the neck with a rifle ball, here was danger of the rifle bull glancing off had he fired at the bear head. Uncle Jesse then climbed a_pine tree, and tho wounded rizaly being too wenk to follow, crawled ofl into the mountain. In 1865 U Jesse purchased of Colonel Ebenezer Johnson his beur trap. One morning he and a man named John I Smith went to the trap, Smith riding o mule named **Dick that was blind in one eye. A huge bear had beon ught in the tap, but had broken the chain: and Uncle Jesse laughs to this day at the thought of how that bear nsed Smith and blind **Dick” until hisold vifle stopped Bruin in its pur- suit. A yeur later, in company with Messrs. Lester and MeCandless, the ter now a member of the Colorado state senate, Uncle Jesse went on a bear hunt., They were all crack shots, and Lester soon wounded a fine, fat buek that Hm( to the brush near by. Befo reached the buck a monster bl had attacked the wounded de en out one of its hams, Lester soon put an end tothe misery of the deer, and then killed the bear, which was fleeing up the mountain side, This w one of the hugest heurs on record. and venisonsteak were plentiful in that hunters’ camp. The head of this buck was then placed nenr one of Uncle Jesse’s bear traps The next morning the trap and de heud were both gon v & milo away they found a large cinnzmon oy with the teap in the brush, William Voris, whowm I first met in th Wet Mountain valley about mine year 0go, happened Lo come up with a part: of hunters at the time Uncle Jesse was muking a fight on the bear. DOGS FIGHTING A BEAL Some of Mr. Noris' dogs attacked the cinnamon, which was a H0-pounder. The bear would pick up those huoting dogs and hurl them ten or fiftecn feet with a8 much eusc as a rat terrier handles its enemy, After the dogs | made their attack and the hunters had had all the fun they wanted, they shot the bear, which bad in Lhe meantine hurled one of the dogs with such 0+ lence that it was killed. A man named Henderson once had a terrible hand-to-hand encounter with a bear on Beaver ereek. Wounding the animal, he followed it into the thick underbrush.

Quite a number of bachelor nint- ances gloated over the descriptions given i the newspapers of her valua- ble properties and the estimated extent of her fortune. What a prize she would have been in the matrimonial lottery? But she was never in the lottery, so the bachelors in Baltimore society looked and longed in vain, Miss Garrett isnot a marrying woman. When she was 20 years of age she had no more iden of failing in love than she has now at—well, nearly twice that age. Though not a literary woman, she 1s x highly educated one, a little on the or- der of the Rose Cleveland class. She is not strong minded, but able w man- age her great weaith and steer her way in husine nd society without having aman asa magnet.

He had a dozen private secr . but_she was is only confidential aid. After im- portant railroad confereuces the pro- ceedings 1n detail were written out by his stenogravher and ho then took them hoeme for her to read. Together they counsidered what more it was best to do. Her busi- ness taet and judgment frequently saved her father from d battle with old Vanderbilt. In his private office at his country home and his city mansion she had her little ro Ve k beside her fathe , and here they often worked and consulted late into the night. She looked after all his other interests outside of the railvoad, and it is said he never bought a piece of prop- erty or made any important inyestment without first consulting her. It wasthis confidence between hushand, wife and danghter that made John W. Gurrett's domestic life so happy. Mary Garvett scldom appears n so- ciety.

Tho objects of the cons P stuted in the invitation, are to consider measures Lo preserve the peace and promote the prosperity of the na- tions in question, to establish an Ameri- can customs union, to s s more {r guent communication agree upon uniform custows, ppraisement and quarantine regulatious, to provide for uniform weights and Ineasures, copy right, trade mark and extradition laws, to adopt another legal tender sil ver coin, to devise u - plan of perpetual and compulsory arbitration, and to act upon such other subjects as may be laid before it by any of the stutés repres sented, Phe s*heme s o large and at- tractive oue, but it will not he a suc céss. In view of the sellsh and intol ant spirit so frequently exhibited at Washington in matt affecting fors cign conntries, it will be impossible for any country to accept the terms which are likely to ¢ dvanced. And in view of the narrow and veckloss policy ros itly shown by tho United States sen- ate in the rejection of an cauitavle treaty with Great Britain for thesettles ment of the Canadian fishoricsquestion, few self respecting nations will care to enter 1nto the negotiations proposed. The truth is that success has thrown the average American off his balance, while constant bitter partisan rivalrvies have rendered him reckless of conses juences in all Tas politieal dealings, with foreignors as w with lis party opponents. Ho ought to kuow that” the foreigner has just the samo rights, dignities and privileges to main- tain which he claims for himeelf, and he also ought to know that all men do not look every question in just tho me way, and that allowances must werefore” bo for differences of opinion, Itis not an agreeable thought that the people elaiming to represent the wost advanced liberal ideas of the day should he the most liberal in te The poor laborers of these American countries cannot understand why o na- tion so vich and prosperous should wish to foree its products upon them and tako nothing whatever in return except tho slave products of monavehinl Brazil. And it the Americans comtd only w00 how little has really been done to culti- vate liberal commercial relations with South American countries, and how in- signiticant a place, outside of Brazil, he actually occupies in their life and trade he would cortainly begin to see h great a fareo his “Monvoe doetr must appear to him. The slave labor of Brazil and the coolic labor of China have east no unpleasant shadows ove theie boasted “free breakfast tabl but when the free herders of Urugua and the Arvgentine Republie, or the free miners of Chili, or the free mill hands of Kngland, are mentioned, they tind nothing good and worthy in them all. ldeas like these can never rule this continent. “O1d Faithful The soldier who does patrol duty about the *Old thful™ goyser, at the upper geyser basin of the Yellowstone park. asserts, s the Youths Com- panion. that duving oue fortnight in August of the present year he prekod up pocket-handkerchicfs enough about the bowl of the geyser to last hima lifotime and supply all his near rela- tives besides, More singular stillall these handker chiefs came out of the geyser; half dozen are sometimes thrown outata single eruption of the hot water, They qush up with the rouring fountain to the height of 150 feet in the o and fall on the steaming vocks outside the bowl. It might be surmised off hand that the gevser was the outlet of some grand Chinese laundry establishment on the other side of the world, but the me reasonable explanation rests on the ob- served fact that those handkerchiefs are purposely dropped into the gey by tourists—mostly lady tourists in violation of the law, which forbidy utting any foreign substance in tho hot fountains. It is quite the custom to put handker- chiefs into Old Faithful, for its waters contain some substance which acts like soup and cleans the worst soiled hand- kerchief. Then there is the fun of seeing it spouted out! Itis usual to tie tho handkerchiefs into kuots, the better to insure their being thrown out, but even the goyser takes large tolls, Sometimes it keeps an cutive batch, and it usually retains two out of every hali dozen, The tolls are quite apt to be east up later on, and here is where the solaior, who makes the rvounds early every morning, reaps his havvest,” for Old Faithful spouts regularly every sixty- five minutes, and during the night has had time to disgovge what it has re- tained.
