The Common Sense View.

When the Republicans of the Fifth
Thursday to elect national delegates,
n sensation was created by the unex
peCted appearance on the stage Of cX
Mayor r. +. Havens. of Terre Haute
"a lifelong and exceedingly prominent
Democrat. who in u speeCh of candor,
force and rare cOmmon-sense, an
nounced his intention Of joining the
Republican party and gave his reasons
for the step. The incident is notable
because Of the high standing and wide
spread influence of the man. and also
because Of the unanswerabie strength
of his argument. which will carry great
weight among his former political as
sociates. We intend at some future
time to reproduce his arraisnment of
Democracy's tariff blunders: at pres

POLITICAL POINTS.

The story of a disagreement between
Senator Quay and Walter Lyon over the
giving out by the latter OF the Quay-f'iinn

beginning to be seen that the disclosure
of such highly practical politics so soon
after the reform campaign of last year
was a questionable bit OF manocuver!ng.

wanna county. Writes MIR. Hausc to the
Hawley Times: He is not without ex-
perience in that capacity. is well and IA
vorably known all over the state. and Is
very acceptable to both factions of The
party. In the opinion of soma level-head-
ed Republicans, Mr.. Watrea will in the not
far distant future, be able to write his
name as Governor Watres. Not only is
it possibility, but IL is Il probl bility."
Once In a while ,imid Republican sis
ter raises the fearsome cry that the
bosses at ST. Louis may try to revive the
unit rule. The Rochester Post Express
therefore pertinentiy remarks: '1herc is
and there will be no unit rule in Rpubli-
can national conventions. That issue was
fought out years ago. and IL Is the settled
policy of the Republican party that the
will OF congressional districts shall he reg
istered in its supreme councils The ma
tonal convention Is composed of delegates
accredited from districts, not from states,
save as the delegates-at-large are thus
accredited. 1t is an assembly of the peo-
pie, not of states. 1t would be impertnent
for a state convention to instruct dele
gates. 1t Is incompetent for a state dele

Bishop O'Hara. The circumstances OF
his installation We're certainly aus
picious. They have marked an epoch

and earnestness. the reception accord
ed to the apostolic delegate. Cardinal
Satolii, will become memorable In local
annals. 1t was fitting tribute to an
eminent representative Of the Oldest
and largest religious denomination In
ChristendOm.
The new bishop is u man of fine
character and ripe scholarship. He
has not only ability and zeal. but also
the elastic vigor of youth. with the
venerable ecclesiastic who has so long
and so ably administered the duties of
this bishopric to guide and counsel
him. along lines that have the stamp
Of established success, his future can
not fail to be full of honor and useful
ness. That he may be inspired to full
I'll with distinguished credit the exact
ing requirements of his new trust will
be the hope Of all who have at heart
the best interests of society.
The larger measure of rest which
Bishop OHara may now with no i'm
propriety enjoy has been well earned
by life time of devoted and unselfish
labor. He will command in the even
ing of his days the respect and the
Veneration. not only of Catholics, but
also of men and women of all beliefs
who esteem purity of character, piety,
charity and magnanimity.

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


A Remarkable Instance of Affection Be
tween Animals.
A remarkable instance of affection
between dog and a cow is related by a
by a well-known suburbanite. His lit
tie black Scotch terrier became infatu-
ated with a small Jersey cow in his
neighborhood, and every morning he
would run off 10 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, be patiently sat
on his launches until she moved along.
Sometimes he was confined at home to
break up tie habit, but as soon as be was
released, off lie 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 be
came to her. While the cow on her part
did not appear to appreciate his atten-
tions, she did not hook him away. Final
~, the family grew tired of keeping q
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.
