his interview in the Post, Tor the first time
came publicly out as an adverse critic OF
ARrHUE's and FRELNGHuHsEN's poll

ing wider between these two
factions, and cannot but play a most promi-
nent part ia future political conventions
and calculations. When great leader,
such as Mr.. BLAINE, openly pronounces
against an important policy of his own par
tvs administration, something interesting
in the way of domestic in felicity may be
anticipated, and from this fact chiefly arises
the real significance of the recent interview.
In the meantime the democracy will proba-

and may possibly ride into power on the
South American imbroglio.

state and County Taxes.

The amount Of state and county taxes
delinquent for the past year aggregated a
little over $4,000. A number Of deputy
collectors are now out in different portions
Of the county, collecting the taxes on zeal

Divorces Granted.

There were four divorce suits granted in
the district conrt yesterday by Judge AL
dredge. The first one was that of Mrs.
Brilla Whteman. who prayed for di-
vorce from her husband, Morgan Whiteman,
on the grounds of abandonment. She
states in her petition that they were duly
married on the 9th day Of April, 1875 in
the state of Missouri, and lived with him
until the list day of April, 1877, when he
abandoned her. During the time she lived
with him he refused and failed to care for
her as husband should for his wife. The
year following their marriage they moved
to this state and county and the succeeding
wear he abandoned her, without any cause
on her part. She says that his whereabouts
is unknown to her, and prays that she be re-
stored to the sacred rights and blessed
privileges" and that she recover all cost III
the case expended.
The petition of John J.. McCollock pray
ing tor divorce from his wife, Mary Il.
McCollock. was granted according to his
PRAYER. He welded his wife in Upton
county, Tennessee, on the 4th day OF Janu,,
airy 1870, andthey lived together as husband
ana wife until the Sth day of September
1873, when she packed up her buds and left
him and never returned. He charges upon
her, that on divers occasions she committed
adultery with Matt Hodges, OF Hill county,
this state. The fruits of their marriage are
two children, Lola, aged years, and Alice,
aged years. He was granted a divorce and
the children were awarded to his keeping.
Sallie Taylor was pleased to get divorce
from her husband, George H. Taylor. She
alleges in her petition that they were mar
ried in Kentucky, the dark and bloody
ground" where they lived together as hus-
band and wife until the LIST day of Febru-
airy, 1877. Shortly after marriage they
moved to Texas, where they have lived for
the past five years. She charges him with
adultery and abandonment on the LIST of
February, 1877, and that it was not caused
by any fault of hers.

Her story runs thus: On the 25th of De-
cember, 1877, she married defendant, and
lived with him until the - day OF =, 1879,
when her husband was indicted in the dis
trict court of Hood county for the crime
and of1ense of forgery, and that he was con-
victed and sent TO the penitentiary for two
years. He has served out his sentence, but
that his whereabouts are unknown to her.
The court awarded to her the custody Of
her daughter Mary, aged years.

Cunning Criminals.

The average burglar and thug whose
whole existence is a fight with society, is
not to be caught by special patrols or de-
tered from the commission of his usual
work. For some days past the citizens have
been called into service in the efforts to
suppress crime in this city, and 1t was
hoped from the absence of any breaks
for week or two past, that the gang of
thugs and house breakers heretofore infest-
ing Dallas had left us. So the specials"
were mustered out day or two ago
and the average citizen went to bed feel
ing reasonably safe. Yesterday, however,
two more burglaries came to light, the
work of the night before proving that the
rascals have only been lying low until the
fears of the community were allayed. The
a small scale, though, and must have been
perpetrated or one of them at least, by
negroes acquainted with the victim and
hi business. Jim Coaley, an old negro,
who with his wife and colored female
boarder live in a two-room house in the
edge of the cedars, near the Central
railroad track, had his house entered
and $3.50, the remains oflast weeks wages,
which he received the evening before, were
taken from his pants pocket. The pants
were hanging on mis- bed and he thinks that
experts must have gotten it, as greenhorn
would certainly have wakened him. He
has no clue to the burglars but it is evident
that some one got the money who knew
Cooley and knew what he had.
The second burglary was that of the resi-
dence of Mrs. Connaught, an Irish woman,
living Oh Duncan street, in East Dallas.
Mrs. Connaught is a widow, and lives alone
and had in her possession her husband S
watch, which she has kept safely for years,
a.silver watch worth about Sl2, and some
IS or 50 in money. She had the articles in
an old table-drawer, ana II is mystery 10
her how anyone could know or imagine
that she had any money or valuables on the
premises The burglars entered by the
window TO which there is no shutter, and
carried off the money and watch. She dis
covered yesterday morning that the window
had been raised, and began to search her
room with the above discovery. There Is
yet no clue to this party. These are all
the burglaries learned yesterday. IL looks
as If the specials would have TO again be
callpd

THE Cincinnati Enquirer is one of the
great papers of the world, ana has great
deal to do in determining the style and mat
ter to be used by the lesser lights in the

trenely tedious, in the newspapers Of the
day. 10 fill useful columns with useless edi-
torials. matter which nobody reads, and
which Is merely an expression Of individual
opinion. On this subject we take the fol-
lowing from the Chicago Times

THE recent purchase of 100000 OF state
bonds at $1.40 by TREASURER LUBBOCK is ex-
citing considerable adverse criticism from
the press, and justly SO. These same bonds
were sold but few years ago at about 50
cents on the dollar and now premium OF
500. 900 over the original sum for which
they were sold has been paid for them-to
say nothing of the 7per cent. interest which
has been paid on them. The BRENNAN Ban
ner saws of the transaction: There ex-
listed no legal obligation for taking
up these bonds before maturity and
the fnanciering that justifes the
payment of such an outside figure can
hardly be justified on correct business prin-
ciples. 1t may afford the adherents of the
''pay as you go" system and the present
STALE administration satisfaction 10 herald
TO the world that the credit Of the state of
Texas has reached such an altitude that
her bonds sell for 81 40, but it is very costly
to the taxpayers. No good has been &C
complished and no one has been benefited
except the parties who bought the bonds at
IS and sold them at $40"

THE HERALD returns thanks to that most
excellent journal, the Gainesville Driftwood,
for the following complimentary notice:
1.-THE Dallas HERALD deserves consid-
cradle credit for being the only daily
in the state, outside of our own town
that had representative at the stock con-
vention. 1t was an evidence of enterprise
that should not go unnoticed by our pee
pie. Mr.. WALKER, of its staff, has been
present during the past week, and sent
full report OF the proceedings of the conven-
ton to his paper each evening, and in this
way has done much to advertise our town.
THE HERALD is the only daily that reaches
us the day of publication, and is our only
hone for thu, latest news Its market reports
are Quite an item, perfectly reliable and
full enough for all practical purposes. The
best feature of the HERALD is its system OF
state specials, which is full and complete,
giving all items of interest that happen dur
ing the week in all parts of the state"

IN the congress of the United States OF
colombia resolution is pending calling
upon the executive to give this country a

to withdraw from the stipulations OF the
treaty of 1916, and to ask for convention
of the South American republics and the
United States to conciliate all interests
with reference to the building, neutrality

A Smart Dog.

Mr.. Simons, of this city, has two very
small black-and-tans that are unusually
smart. There has been great deal written
and said about the intelligence of the dog,
and some of them are almost beyond belief.
The other day one of these black-and-tans
gave birth to a wee bit of Il pup 10 which
she was devoted, but it died. and ever since
then she has been going about the store
looking everywhere for it, whining all the
time. When anyone asks her where her
puppy is, she whines louder than ever, and
becomes fearfully distressed, acting more
like human than a dumb brute.
