omitted which properly belong to the
| city. Not only so. Dallas is filled
| with young business men who repre-
sent only themselves, and the ratio
of three and half population to one
name is all i'm favor of an excessive es-
innate for Dallas, while the very re-
verse of this is true as in San Anto-
Mo. That it is true is abundantly
proven from the school census as
shown by this same directory.
The school census of Dallas
for 1888 is not given. The
comparison is therefore made
upon the basis of the school census
of 1887, when according to the direc-
tory Dallas had 1850 children of
school age, and San Antonio had $50.
This gives Dallas a population of ten
persons for every child of school age.
This same proportion of population to
children of school age would give San
Antonio 81, 500 population for the cor
responding year with Dallas. The
probabilities are that the real truth
lies between these extremes, and that
while Dallas has an unusual numb
of names in her directory in proper
ton to her population, San Antonio
falls below the directory mems stand
ard and has less than one directory
name to each three and half of popu-
lation; also that San AntonIo's school
census shows more children i'm proper
ton to population than does that of
Dallas. Taking the means between
these extremes and striking an aver
age with the advantage every way on
the side of Dallas, and it would give
that city about 10000 people, while
San Antonio could not possibly have
less than 5000.

AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

The Dallas Times Herald has the
gift of non-comprehenslon most alb
normally developed. Not that the
Herald is stupid, but it seems to have
a fatal predisposition to mental stra-
bismus whenever its optics are turned
in the direction of the Alamo city.
No better evidence of this could be
adduced than the following:
"The San Antonio Express editorial
ly says that the new city directory by
Morrison & FOurmy has been placed
on it's table. But the Express does
not state what are the findings of the
directory in regard to the population
of the city. There once was a time
that the Alamo people were ever
ready to rush in print with any statis-
teal information pertaining to its
population. But now they are re-
luctant to let the world know how
far Dallas has gone ahead of them
the past few years"
The Herald's mistakes in this mat
ter have again and again been point
ed out and corrected, and once more,
with the infinite patience born of
sympathy with the Herald's fatal
gift of misunderstanding, the LIGHT
will shine for its editorial informal
ton.
If the Express has not stated the
findings, the LIGHT will. Let the
Herald man hear if, according to
scripture, he has ears to hear.
The Dallas directory published a
few months since, and the San AntO-
Mo directory Issued a few weeks
since, are both upon the LIGHT table.
The population tables of these direc-
tories show a San Antonio population
of 1921; the Dallas population as
shown by her directory is 46,70l.
This is an increase for Dallas, as
shown by the directory tables, of 3d.
$40 in the last ten years. San AntO-
MOS increase during this same pc
Rod, as shown from her directory
tables, is 32,O27. This is the directory
showing of population upon an esti-
mated basis of three and One-half pop
ulation to every name in the direc-
tory. By this showing, dur
ing the past ten years, in
which Dallas has claimed to have
made such gigantic strides, she has
actually gained 292 population in ad-
vance of San Antonio.
But this directory showing is de-
ceptive. 1t does not include the names
ofthe soldiers and officers Of this post,
and which to all intents and pur-
poses as adding to our business vol
umes are an integral part of our popu-
latiOn. Not only so, the directory
compilers themselves are authority
for the statement that so many Mex
leans and colored people were absent
from their homes in the cotton fields
that hundreds of names were thus

Are We to Have War?

Some political prophets aver that we
shall. Be that as it may, the battle waged
by medical science against disease, will
never cease until we arrive at that utOpian
epoch when the human family shall cease
to be afflicted with bodily ailments. One of
the most potent weapons which the armory
of medicine furnishes, is HOstetter's
Stomach BitterS, which is of special utility
as family remedy, as it is adapted to the
immediate relief and ultimate cure of those
disorders OF the stomach, liver and bowels,
which are of cOmmOneSt occurrence Indi-
geStiOn, billiOUSneSS and constipation are
inSeparable companions, and these ailments
are completely eTadiCated by the Bitters.
But the remedial scope of this surperlative-
ly wholesome and genial medicine takes i'm
also nervous ailments, rheumatism and kid
ney troubles; its action in these, as in the
other complaints, being characterized by nm
equalled thOrOughness. l2-29-St

JAMES MONRO,
COMMISSIONER OF METROPOLITAN
POLICE.

We give portrait of James Monro,
the gentleman who has been appoint
cd to succeed Sir Charles Warren as
commissioners of Metropolitan police.
The gallant Warren was sacrificed to
popular clamor, on account of his fail
ure to discover that fiendish murder
er of women, whose performances in
the east end of London have Mortified
the civilized world. Mr.. Monro is so
years of age He entered the Indian
civil service in 1857, and had served
as magistrate and collector, secretary
to the Board of Revenue and district
and sessions judge before his appoint
ment as inspeCtor-general Of police in
Bengal. The force under him num-
bered twenty thousand men, under
European officers. Five years after
wards he was appoin ted commission
or of the presidency division. His APP
poin tment to succeed Sir Charles War
rem followed his recent resignation as
assistant commissioner of the criminal
investigation department. While
holding this office. he was consulted
by the Home Office of the British gov
eminent with regard to the proposed
improvement in the organization of
the Metropolitan Detective Police
staff Great things are expected of
an officer having such an experience
and of marked ability. The arrest,
under his direction, of Jack the Rip
per, would be the loftiest feather in
his official cap.

THE Daily Gate City, of Laredo,
speaking for the southern sections of
this great republic, says:
"Some newspapers seem determined
that Canada shall become part of
Uncle Sans dominions. When Can
ada expresses a desire to do 50, this
premature discussion would be more
appropriate; at present that country
seems to be utterly Indifferent to an

"even tenor of her way"
Uncle Sam does not want Canada
today half as bad as Canada needs the
United States. If any overtures come
Canada must take the initiative. In
this the Gate City speaks truly.

Chester s. Gould, With Three Wives
 in Pennsylvania, Weeds Another in
 Waterbury.
 Chester s. Gould, an eccentric charac- ter of Moscow, Penn, was tried at Scranton yesterday for bigamy. The allegation is that he has four living wives. The first he married in 1869, the second in 1879, the third in 1884, and the fourth in this city, in May 1889. After the evidence had been heard the judge took the case from the jury, remarking that the courts of Pennsyl- vania had no jurisdiction in the case Gould cannot be convicted of marrying his second and third wives, because under the laws of Pennsylvania, the prosecutions should have been brought within two years after the marriage took place. The fourth marriage took place in this city and Gould can now only be prosecuted here for bigamy. He was held by the Pennsylvania authorities to answer to a charge of adultery.
 According to Town Clerk Whites records Gould was married in this city May 9, 1888 to Mrs Mary A Greene, by Rev A: c: Eggleston, pastor of the Methodist church. He gave his age as 58, residence Moscow, Penn, and said he had been twice a widower. His bride is on record as having been three times a widow, aged 54, and born in New York state. Gould will be remembered as an odd-appearing genius, with long hair and whiskers and the manners of 8 typical backwoodsman.

 Judge Cowen dispensed justice this morning at the police court. Two plain drunks received their discharge and were ordered to skip the town inside of an hour. A drunk belonging to this city was fined $5 without costs.
 A young chap was in court for breach of the peace. He was found asleep in a woman's bed last night and was arrest ed at the instigation of the woman by Officer Brickel. In court this morn ing the evidence went to show that the woman and the accused with other parties had been rushing the growler'' during the night, and all had become somewhat befuddled. Judge Cowell promptly discharged the prisoner.
 The postponed case of William Maloney for assault on Harvey Morse, boss at the Waterbury Manufacturing Go, came up this morning. Harvey Morse swore that no provocation had been given for the assault, further than that MT Maloney had been changed from one room to another and he laid the blame to Morse. Joseph Downs cor roborated his statement and Maloney in his own behalf refused to say anything. The court sentenced the accused to 30 days in jail with costs. An appeal was taken.
