Tampa Herald: Before the brethren
condemn Senator Taliaferro too severely
for his vote to seat Quay, they should re-
member that in the half dozen similar
cases which have previously come before
the Senate there have been distinguished
Democratic leaders of that body who have
uniformly voted TO admit. While We do
not agree with the theory that the Gov
ernor may appoint a senator in case the
Legislature fails to do its duty and elect
one, 1t must be admitted that there is
plenty of ground for a contrary opinion.
Senator Taliaferro's vote gives insufficient
ground for captious and personal criti-

Owing to symptoms of hydrophobia APP
pearlug among certain dogs here, an or
dinance was recently passed ordering all
dogs running al large to be muzzled. Mr.
Duren has two pet cats around his butcher
shop, whose life has been made miserable
by the badgering of a vagrant yellow dog
The day after the ordinance wentsinto eff
feet the dog happened around the shop
and was spied by the cats, who noticed the
stout leather strap around the mongrels
Jaws that served as muzzle This was
their golden opportunity, and with one ac-
cord they leaped upon the back of the
helpless canine and proceeded to wreak
their pent-up vengeance upon his hide.
That particular dog will give Duren's cor
