AGAIN AT WORK.
Daring ana Successful Robbery "
BurtOn's Gun establishments.

That an organized band of thieves
have been and are operating in our
city, there can DO no question.
Scarcely night passes but some
petty robbery Is committed, varied oc-
cas,onally by one Of more daring and
extensveness In THE HERALD yes
terday was mentioned the fact of the
carpenter chest of Mr.. Davis being
broken open the night previous and
robbed of large number of tools.
Following Immediately on the heels
of this is recorded in another column
this morning the robbery of sum of
money from the house of negro
man, on Thursday night, In addition
to the robbery of Burton's gun estab-
lishment, which occurred yesterday
morning about o'clock.
A reporter visited the scene of the
robbery, and was shown through the
premises by Mr., Burton. An lnvesti-
CATION showed that the thieves had
procured an entrance to the back yard
by ascending the steps at the rear end
of Messrs. Bartlett, Parker Il Co.'s
building, and then using ladder
which was on the platform TO descend
into the yard. An entrance was eff
fected through the back door of Bur-
toms building by boring number Of
holes with large auger and removing
the lock. Another door, leading from
an unoccppied room to the store was
opened in the same manner, and
then the thieves had clear sailing.
The money drawer, which opened with
spring, was served In the same man
ner az the doors, but fortunately there
was nothing in it to reward the scoan-
drels for their labor. Turning their
attention to the stock of guns and pis-
tolls, they selepted two fine Winchester
rifles, q Smith u Wesson revolver, four
Colts deringers and five revolvers, be-
sides two pistol scabbards and an In
Vulnerable quantity of cartridges, the
whole amounting in value to about
one hundred and fifty dollars.
The auger to bore the holes was
found near the door, and proved to be
one of the articles stolen from Mr.
Davis tool chest the night previous
No clew has been obtained to the per-
petrators though the officers of The
law are diligently at work trying to
ferret them out.

our ELECTION TABLE.

The table we publish to-day OF the
late election IL official, obtained by n
friend for THE HERALD directly fro N
fine Slate Department, and has been
carefully compared with the original,
We therefore advise all who feel an
interest in the political complexion
and rapid growth Of Texas, to cut the
mble out and preserve II for future ref
erence, II reveals the most cheering
facts in regard to our vast frontier. II
demonstrates that We have already
one hundred and forty-nine organize Il
courtIes and twenty-four yet to be or
aanlzed, IN which there are more or
less settlers. II especially shows
A splendid immigration to such
counties as Hood, Somervel,
Erath Comanche, Brown, San Saba,
shackeIford, lGasland, Young, Wise,
Montague, Clay, Preside, Pecos, Tom
Green aud all along our vast frontier.
II Is cheering to all who watch, with a
friendly eye, the expansion of our in
dustrlous, brave and intelligent people
over the wilderness Of our al most lin.
tlesa frontier territory.
In this connection, modestly and
without boosting, we would remind
our brethren OF the press that
after the election of 1873, THE DALLAS
HERALD was the first and the only pa
per TO procure and publish the full Off
clal vote of all the counties between
Coke and Davis. Our table was extern
slvely copied all over the State, but in
numerous eases without any credit.
We do not complain, but our friends Of
ihe press very well understand the
esprit de corps that should prevail
among the profession everywhere.

The Blaine investigation a
new phase every day. At least the
telegraph gives us every day a picture
differing from the day before, but all
alike labeled Blaine investigation"
1t is a perfect mental kaleidoscope and
the mind grows weary in seeking TO
attach to it either form or color. Blaine
is guilty. Blaine clears himself. Blaine
stole M%ulligan's letters and Mulligan
gave them to him. Blaine refuses to
make the letters public. Blame has
made the letters public. The Demo
Gratis are prosecuting Blaine. The Dem-
ocrats are inclined to exonerate Blaine.
COnkling and Morton are seeking to
destroy Blaine before the convention.
Blaine put up the whole job to gain
sympathy at Cincinnati. We give IL
up. We can only understand it on the
hypothesis that the Press agent is
q thimble-rigger seeking to play of
Blaine az a congressional "little joker"
against Sunset Cox. We hope it will
stop soon. Beecher. and Bowen. and

and another capital b threatens to

NEW YORK, June 5.
The World says the anti Chinese az
itation on the Pacific coast has in all
likelihood been given more prom
inence than it deserves. Those who
participated in it are generally OF the
brawling class Of small politicians
anxious to curry favor with laborers
aud artisans, who, appreLensive es
pecially in times of commercial de-
preston, are always easily aroused;
and sensation mongers who are eager
to accept the offered opportunity to
write up Chinatown and invent a few
tales t. suit The occasion: and behind
them Is the hoodlum element alert for
anything which promises riot and an
occasion for pillage. In the midst Of
the turmoil raised by these agitators ii
il not easy for the voice OF common
sense to be heard, aud principle is
very apt to lie swayed or silencsd by
prejudice. Nevertheless, we venture
the prediction that II the respectable
citizens of California could be polled
they would by an overwhelming ma
jority declare that the present anti
Mongolian crusade is as undesirable
as 1t is unjust.

The flow of water from the Sutro
tunnel, says the Enterprise, continues
to be about 100 inches. The tunnel Is
now near the line of the Occidental
mine and the water in said mine Is re-
ported to lie sinking. As the Occi.
dental paid well on the surface, the
tapping Of the vein by the Sutro tun-
mel Is looked for with great interest.
The lead will be cut in the st. Johns
ground.
Says the Carson Appeal: 1t is due to
the Ophir Company to state that they
have paid in full their city, county and
State taxes ON their net bullion pro-
duct. This mine is supposed to be
controlled by Senator Sharon.
Concerning the same question, the
Enterprise says: Col. James G. Fair
and the County Commissioners had a
consultation last evening and a basis Of
settlement of the taxation on the net
proceeds Of the mines was agreed
upon. 1t is such as will have the effect
of reducing the tax now levied or
county purposes from 81 so to forty
cents on the 500; school tax of tifty
cents on the 500 to fifteen cents, and
the State tax from ninety to forty cents.
The arrangement will no doubt be
made and will he a great relief to all
citizens who have taxes to pay.
