DOG AND COW.
A Remarkable Instance of Affection Be
tween Animals.

A Remarkable Instance of Affection Be-
tween Animals.
A remarkable instance of affection
between a dog and cow is related by a
by well-known suburbanite. His lit
tie black Scotch terrier became infatu-
ated with small Jersey COW in his
neighborhood, and every morning he
would run off to the pasture where his
bovine sweetheart was kept. He would
slip out the side way and walk along
with the COW. He often missed his
breakfast and often did not taste a
mouthful all day. When she munched
grass by the roadside, he patiently sat
on his launches until she moved along.
Sometimes he was confined at home to
break up the habit, but as soon as he was
released, off he would go at full run
for the pasture, singing out his love
from the herd of cattle and following
close at her heels. He would jump up
and kiss her in the mouth, lick her feet,
and show signs of greatest joy when he
came to her. While the cow on her part
did not appear to appreciate his atten-
tions, she did not hook him away. Final
ly, the family grew tired of keeping a
dog that remained away during the day
and only came home for his supper and
to spend the night, and gave him to per-
sons living some distance in the coun-
try. The COW, who had never seemed
to notice any of his demonstrations of
affection, missed his companionship
when he was gone. For she would come
to his former home at evening, put her
head over the palings and low. She did
this at intervals for several months.

MATRIMONIAL AGENCIES.
Some Advantageous Alliances Effected by
Their Assistance In France.

Some Advantageous Alliances Effected by
Their Assistance In France.
A very profitable form of swindling
is that of the matrimonial agencies
which are now worked in France in a
manner entirely unknown, says the Lon
don Spectator, to NJ. De Foy, who was
the real originator of marriage by in
termediary. There are, of course,
offices where preliminary fees are asked
and where wife seekers and ladies
yearning for lords are quietly swindled
after having been told to go to the
opera, the salon or the fashionable
church of Sainte-Clotilde. The strange
part of the matrimonial agency scheme
is that you never know, when in society
whether some banker, priest or old lady
CT fierce virtue and mystical tendencies
may not be a husband or wife broker.
There are young ladies not too thin
skinned, head walters in certain restau-
rants, livery stable keepers, clustered
nuns, notaries and lady doctors of the
obstetric school. These are only por-
ton of the army of workers in the inter
ests of Cupid. There are at present in
Paris two wealthy American girls who
have married titles, upon the wedding
day of each of whom very handsome
commission was paid to one Of these
Intermediates, of course without the
knowledge of the wife.

DOGS AS ChURCH-GoERS.
They Were Regular Attendants In Old
Colonial Days.

Colonial Days.
The principal disturbers of worship
In the colonial Westinghouse were
dogs, says William Root Bliss, in "Side
Glimpses from the Colonial Meeting
House." They seem to have been regu-
lar attendants at the Sunday services,
and Of necessity were placed under dis
cipline.
At New London (1662) one of the
duties of the sexton was ito order
youth In the Westinghouse and beat
out dogs" At Charlestown (1666) a
man was hired at four pounds a year
ito ring the bell to meetings. and to
keep out dogs in meeting time" At
Dedham (1674) a man was paid eight
shillings a year "for keeping dogs out
in meeting time and shutting the door. ;"
Andover did not object to dogs, but
made them pay for the privilege of COM
ing to meeting. The law of this town
(1672) said: Whatsoever dogs shall
be in the Westinghouse on the Sabbath
day the owner thereof shall pay six
pence for every time"
The dog law of Redding (1662) was
peculiar. 1t runs thus: Every dog
that comes to the meeting, either OF
Lords day or lecture day, except it be
their dogs that pays for a dog,
whipper, the owner of those dogs shall
pay sixpence for every time they come
to the meeting that doth not pay the
dog-whipper."
Twenty-six men wrote their names,
or made their marks, in the Redding
records, agreeing to pay the dog
whipper" to whip other peoples dogs
out of meeting, while their dogs re-
manned and were recognized as mem
bers of the congregation in regular
standing.

DEMooRATlo CANDIDATES.

As was indicated last week, THE
TRIBUNE thinks that the Democratic
party did wisely to place w. j. Bryan
at the head of its national ticket. He,
probably, is the strongest man that
could be put up; he will come nearer to
uniting the silver forces than any other
man could. But that which causes
qualification above other considerations
is the fact that he will be strong enough
to bring the silver question to the front
and make it a prominent issue of the
campaign. Every sincere person. what
ever his views, having at heart the we'll
being of the country, must rejoice at
the sure prospect of speedy settle
ment of this important question. We
are not as sanRuine as some are that
the judgment of the majority will accord
with our western views; but, unless the
silver leaders are much deceived them
selves, or have purposely misrepresented
the trend of popular sentiment, the
counting Of the ballots will give gold
men an ague which will set them to
trembling for many months. OF course
we could wish that Mr.. Bryan was not
as pronounced for free trade as he is
for free silver; we could wish that he
combined with his American financial
ideas equally acceptable American pro-
lection ideas; but therein he is weak,
his platform is weak, and therein will
be the browning danger to his success.
AS for Mr., Arthur Sewall, the Maine
gentleman who was nominated for
Vice President, we do not think great
deal of him. II looks very much as
though he was named for the substan-
tial assistance he can render during
the campaign. He is a wealthy ship
builder and owner, a monopolist, bank
er and railroad magnate. He is silver
man, primarily, because he had a falling
out with President Cleveland and hates
him cordially. There are too many men
in the Democratic party like MIR. SewalI
in that particular respect. In 1885, Mr.,
Sewalls son, Arthur, was appointed
Consul General to Samoa, by Cleveland,
but the conduct of the young man was
not agreeable to the administration at
Washington, and he was recalled. The
result was marked GOODNESS between
the President and the SeWalls. The
young man turned Republican, the old
man free silver. They couldn't think
of anything that would hurt Cleve.
lands feelings worse. Altogether, Mr..
Sewall is not the right kind of stuff to
mate with w. Jennings Bryan. The
will be hot and interesting,
and in the end right will prevail,

DON'T HURRY.

The nomination of Mr.. Bryan com.
pliCateS matters. Many silver repub-
Iicans ara In doubt, and all are restless.
We urge upon our readers not to be
hRsty Ia coming to a conclusion. Two
great conventions are yet to meet, and
they may present candidate around
whom the great interests of the west
may rally, almost without division.
At" any rate, there is no necessity for
haste. Let US be conservative, patient
and cautious. The Chicago convention
was q stormy affair. A majority of
the delegates were bitterly hostile to
the administration, the mention of
Cleveland being equivalent to the red
flag Haunted at the bull. 1t was a con.
VentiOn Of ferVid Oratory, wild Vituper-
alton, and personal bitterness. In an
uncomfortable OutburSt Of enthusiasm
and passion, it made the nomination.
Wait until we see what the national
silver organization does, and whether
Senator Teller is not presented to the
voters of the United States as a.
candidate. As the situation appears
now, 1t Is the only hope for silver.
The foregoing appears as the leading
editorial in last weeks Moscow Double

with being close to Judge Sweet and
accepted as an authorized exponent of
his views. "The nomination of Bryan"

AT RANDOM.

as we are gratiied, it has been an ex,
ceptionally happy stroke. Perhaps we
ought to say no more on the subject.
but the temptation to iot down a few
random thoughts is irresistible. Of
course, we are charged with being a
gold-bug. and all because we candidly
confess our inability to satisfactorily

from Washington to Sweet, should fail
to note the fact, and that economists
and finanCiers should have vexed them
selves through the ages trying to solve
so simple a problem. The Nampa gen.
tleman says 1t is only question of
volume of money, and that to increase
prosperity all that is necessary is to
increase circulation. That seems clear
but w. j. Bryan, who is accounted
something of an authority on the sub
tect, not long ago published his views
In the New York World, and therein
said 1t wasn't a question of volume at
all. and that the greatest pros

latiOn. We leave the settlement of
that contention to the Democratic
Presidential candidate and the Mamma
gentleman. Judge Sweet says: "The
question is more difficult to understand |
than the slavery question when pre-.
'ented forty years ago" We don't
know about that, but confess that we
have found it pretty tough ciphering
And more than that, we will tell the

coed a step further. The writer has
talked with many of the ablest men in
this state, the mention of whose names
would surprise some people, and almost
invariably they wound up with the
same comment: It's a ID hard
question to understand. Not long ago
we met a gentleman who is now chair
man of the Democratic committee IN
one of the most populous counties in
this state. We believe he is also a mem
Der of the state committee. He is con-
sidered fairly intelligent man and
conducts large mercantile establish
ment with marked success. He said If
the Democratic party declared for free
coinage he would have to leave it. Pos
sibly he has been schooling with the
"old rail" man since the nomination OF
Bryan. We hope so, at any rate. The
Nampa gentleman warns to his subject
and exclaims; "Thank God the people
of our state land want it understood
Republicans are included) are capable
of weighing this money question in
their own intellectual balance" Well,
we are right glad to hear it. But their
efforts in public give very different re-
suits from their private performances.
He says ne doesn't want THE TRI-
BUNE's scales. That is because he
doesn't care To weigh both sides of the
argument. The gentleman is highly
wrought up at the prospect of COM
binatiOn between THE TRIBUNE and
the Statesman, seeking to rob him of
his political existence. That is an odd
fancy, to be sure. A political corpse at
NampR, who ever heard of such
thing? He intimates that if Mckinley
is going to root up and carry away the
fixed principles of Republicanism, he
will bid the whole business a long fare
well. We hope he will not act hastily.
We don't like to see the party emasCu-
lated in that way. We have been called
goldbug before, but some of our ira,
duCers have fallen by the way, while
we continue right along doing what
little we can to help the cause of BIZ
metallism according to the light God
hath given us. We believe it is right,
but unlike great many insufferable
cyclists, we do not know it, and don't
propose to pretend publicly what our
conscience will not justify privately.
There are too many men in Idaho cap
able of weighing anything they are a
mind to in their intellectual balances.

Elsewhere will be found account of a
most disgraceful and cowardly affair
which recently happened at the West
Point Military Academy. Reference
is made to the beating of Edwin G,
Davis by a West Point bully amidst
the applause of West Point blackguards
and tacit encouragement of the refined
and educated rultians who have charge
of the government school. 1t has often
been said that a course in the military
schools of the United States ruins
four out of every six young men that
take it. We believe it. A gang of
blacklegs in the slums of New York
could afford no better opportunities
for decentralization than does the
Government of the United States at
West Point. We are told that the

officer. 1T the law of hereditary has
