JUDGE JOHN PAUL.

The death of the Hon. John Paul,
Judge OF the United States District
Court for the Western District of Vir-
ginia, Which occurred of Friday last
at his residence in Harrisonburg,
though expected was nevertheless a
shock to his many friends, and deeply
regretted by all who knew him.
Judge Paul was native of Rock
lngham county, where be had wide
circle Of relatives and a wider circle
OF friends. He was a Confederate
soldier of valor, and his army life en-.
deared him to many of the old soldiers,
especially of the Valley. He was a
man of many lovable traits of charac
ter, OF culture and profound legal
learning, incompatible as a judge
faithful as a friend, kind and indul.
gent as husband and father, and
courteous as gentleman. 1t is with
profound sorrow we announce his
death. 1t was our privilege to know
him Intimately in his earlier life and
to have preserved the friendliest rela
lions with him to his death. and we
add this our humble tribute to his
memory, wishing that there were
more as true and good men in Virgin
ia as be.

Inc greatest surprise of the campaign
comes from the Ninth District Wher,

as safe in nearly all the counties. A
great change came throughout the
Southwest within the past ten DAYS fol

the campaign of Congressman Rhea

and Judge James W. Marshall last
week in the district did much to chi
down Republican votes.

Dogs and wild animals of the
same family are remarkable for their
quickness and staging powers in
running, as every one knows. A fox
terrier, for example, will follow his
masters carriage for hours with no
signs of fatigue. Wolves will travel
sixty miles in a night. hansen saw
Arctic foxes on the ice nearly five
hundred miles from land, and found
their tracks in the snow on the par
allel Of IS degrees north. Eskimo
dogs can travel forty-fve miles in
five hours, according to Hayes, who
recites that he once drove his dog
team seven miles In half an hour. A
Siberian dog, on good ice, will draw
about eighty pounds; our ordinary
dogs, at full speed, run at the rate
of thirty-three to f%orty-nine feet per
second; settlers and pointers about
eighteen and one-half to tWenty-one
and seven-tenths miles per hour, and
they can maintain this speed for two

A Latin-American Union.

The recent revival of Catholic senti-

advantage of by pontifcal statesmen
to form a union OF the Catholic coun-
tries of the new world based on COM

to have political significance also. A

Mexican pilgrimage, but to contain al

BUREAU FRICTION.

General Miles is not the first occu-
pant of his position to be at odds with
the head of the war department. In
deed it is a tradition that there should
be irreconcilable differences of opinion
between the secretary Of war and the
general commanding the army. When
Sherman a in charge of army head
quarters, the conflict of authority be-
came so acute hat the doughty hero
of the march to the sea, driven to des-
peration by the Sights he felt were
put upon him, packed up his belong
ings and moved the army headquar-
tiers bodily from Washington to st.
Louis, where he remained in solitary
splendor during all the later years of
his incumbency. Sheridan was as un-
fortunate as his predecessor in his re
Iations with the secretary Of war. He
was not quite testy enough to allow
himself to be driven from Washington,
but there were continual clashes be-
tween him and Secretaries Lincoln and
Endicott down almost to the day of
his death. Schofield was able to get
along with his civilian superiors with
out friction. He had tact in abun-
ud0CO dAo WAS d OOlA O1p1ODldI 4NOlA-
ing else could have saved him. He
alone Of all the officers recently in COM
mand of the army had understood the
true relations of the general command
ing with the secretary of war. He APP
preciated the fact that the command
ing general was, after all, subject to
the orders Of the secretary Of war and
was to all intents a chief of staff,
whose duty it was to see that those or
ders were carried into effect. Sherman
and Sheridan were lever able to adjust
themselves to this relationship. They
were soldiers and nothing else. Accus-
toned to command and to hare their
orders obeyed without question, it irri-
tated them and angered them that a
mere civilian unframed in the practice
of war should be In a position to over
rule their judgment in matters relating
to a profession to which they had de-
voted their liyes.-L. A. Coolidge In
