Granted BY Judge Young, All on
Ground of Desertion.

Granted BY Judge Young, All on
Ground of Desertion.
Judge Young yesterday heard four
divorce suits and granted DEGREES in
each.
The first was Jennie Knftcel against
Frank J. Knitcel, in which Attorney
j. M. Hamilton appeared for the plain
tiff and Attorney Wiley Brown for the
defendant. The latter, however, with
drew his answer.
The plaintiff testified that the mar
riage took place on November 3, 1888.
in this city, and that for more than
one year her husband contributed
nothing to her support or that Of their
child. She also said that knitcel was
a man of vulgar habits and unit TO
have the custody of the child. Corrop-
orative testimony was given and his
honor granted the decree and gave
Mrs. Knitcel the custody of the INFANT
HOLT VS.. HOLT.
The next case was Alice NJ. Holt
against William Holt. The plaintiff
alleged that the marriage took place
in Virginia, City, Mont, December 5,
1879. and that in August, 1893, the de-
PENDANT deserted her without cause,
and still continues to live separate ftnd
apart from her, and since has failed to
saries of life.
Her testimony was corroborated by
Jennie Evans and Pearl Holt, daughter
of the parties.
The defendant faiIed to appear and
his honor granted the decree, awarding
the custody of the minor child, Pearl,
to Mrs. Holt
w H. Bramel was the attorney for
the plaintiff.
WEBB VS.. WEBB.
Sarah A. Webb was the next appli-
cant for relief. She, by her attorney,
D. c. Eichnor, was awarded a decree
of divorce from William ]. Webb by
default
The plaintiff and defendant were
married in this city on March "a, 1894,
and for more than d year last past
Mr.. Webb neglected to provide his
wife with the necessaries of life, al
though amply able to do so. Mrs.
Webb was given the custody of their
child, elizabeth P. Webb.
AN ODD CASE.
The last of the quartette was the
case of Rosa Odd VS.. Alfred Odd, and
she was granted the divorce by de-
fault, Attorney n. A. Robertson APP
pearing for the plaintiff.
The parties intermarried at Park
City on October 6, 1884, and on June
S. 1884, the defendant abandoned the

DOING GOOD.

mat the Democratic League is doing
. great deal OF good" we cannot see
how any one can gainsay. One OF the
evidences OF this is found in the fact
that the annual budget. recently passed
by the two branches OF the City Coun-
Gil. makes a saving of about $4,000
Now. a saving Of 10000 per annum to
q city that is running behind at the rate
Of $4,000 per annum is not to be
"snsezed at" The probabilities are that
but for the movement on the part Of the
thousards of gentlemen who constitute
She League. this retrenchment would not
have been made.
Moreover. the activity OF the league
has caused our city officials to inquire
INTO the matter OF back taxes due the
city. and we see II stated that Rich
uond has assets Of this sort amounting
10 nearly one million dollarsi II so,
ycry good To DO sure, these are not
the tines when such assets can be very
readily realized upon; but now that we
have this information before US, doesn't
~ occur to the average man of business
that 1t Is strange that the City Council
has not long ago required the collection
of these dues? Why. they must be the
accumulation OF years and years! IL
would seem that these taxes should have
been collected and put into the Treasury
,one ago. Such a policy would have been
vastly better than that of borrowing
money to pay off floating debts, and IN
the end TO pay of this borrowed money
nv issuing bonds However, all tnat
peIongs to the past. For this fault we
cannot blame the present City Council
more than we blame its predecessors.
Rut who can tell how long this important
fact about back taxes would nave
been unknown, or not acted upon, put
fev tho Stir that the league has made?
Ana this thought justices US in saying
that n the league had done no other good.
this fully 5ustines Its being, and entities
Il to the gratitude Of the tax-paying pub
lie. Hereafter, we presume, the city
win not issue bonds to pay on hoanng
debts, when II has-or is said to have
psarly a million Of dollars due 1t for
back taxes.
Another thing that the pending cam
oaigh has brought out is that. of -four
hundred fduclaries." not more than
.twenty-fve pay the city more than 81
per annum" We do not exactly under
stand what Is the character OF the taxa
tion that the city has been thus deprived
Of: but we indulge the confident belief
that. but for the stir that the league has
made about city finances. nothing would
have been said about 1t. Now. let all
this money be collected, and the back
taxes be gathered in as soon rs pos.
sible, and then Richmond may live upon
her annual income instead of Issuing
bonds to pay of floating debts; debts
contracted TO aid. in part, in paying of
the current expenses Of the city.

KICKING AGAINST LEE.

A Washington special says there is
ground for the belief that the Spanish
Government Is not pleased with the
appointment Of General Fitzhugh
Lee to be Consul-General at Ha-
bana, and may refuse to recognize
him as such. This imbibes coloring from
a special to the New York Sun from
Habana, which, after stating that the
appointment Of General Lee is regarded
at the Cuban capital as an adroit
way Of sending O military commissioners
from the United States to the island,
adds:
when there was an intimation a fort
night ago that Mr.. Cleveland oontem-
plated sending a commission here to learn
officially what was going on, the officials
at Madrid said very plainly that no mill
tary or other commission would be ac-
cepted by them, or permitted to pry into
affairs in Cuba"
Spain could not make a greater mistake
than that of refusing to recognize the
appointment of General Lee. After the
passage by Congress Of the Cuban con-
current resolutions, 1t was. 1t seems,
tacitly agreed to leave the whole Cuban
question, for the present, at least, In the
hands OF the Executive. and Mr.. Cleve-
land, there IS abundant reason for as
Stunning, decided upon a much more con-
ciliatory and much milder policy In
dealing with Spain in respect of the
matter at issue :han was contemplated
by Congress. An affront to the United
States from Spain such as the specials
above referred to indicate Is threatened
could but cause the question OF Cuban
belligerency to be again agitated in Con-
gress, with the result that belligerency
would be accorded in joint resolution
that, under the circumstances. 1t Is hardly
possible the President would decline &c
approve. II Spain Is wise she will LEI
well enough alone. 1t is evident that the
people of the United States are regard
ing the Cuban matter in no humor to be
trified with.

serHAT WILL DO"

Commenting upon the silver plank OF the
Reed platform. in Maine, the Baltimore
Sun says:
"That will DO When all the great COM
mercial nations assent to free coinage al
a ceftain ratio. it will have no special
peril for us. since these nations VIII IN
sist on the market ratio. and will not
give US the 5O-cent dollar. In effect
speaker Reed is declared to be for the
gold standard. This will give him
host of supporters, as against Mckinley.
More. There can be no reason to fear
any depreciation In silver after the ratio
OF free coinage shall have been fixed
by the commercial nations OF the world.
All the people In our own and ell other
such nations will be the owners OF the
silver, and cannot possibly have any rea-
son for desiring to lower its price, and
II they desired to do so, the attempt
would be dead failure. There would be
nobody anywhere who would be interest
ed In decrying silver money. which would
be as good az gold.

e.nrsr rN OUR sTREETs.

The hundreds OF people who live on
streets which have been selected Is tne
streets oyer which hogs. sheep. ana
,,.eves are driven TO the slaushter-pcns
arc unanimously IN favor Of the citys
establishing a union stock-yard.
with such stock-yard In existence, IL
would seldom be necessary for cattle 10
be driven through our streets. Then cattle
trains would run into the stocg-yard. ana
In good time the butchers establishments
would be gathered around the yard
But. we insist that the present system
pernicious as II is. Is made much more
intolerabIe than 1t should be. Why snou'o
the cattle-driving and odor-distributins
nuisance be fixed upon few streets
why should one set OF househoiders be
required to suffer this nuisance forever
when, by an alienation system. the
nuisance might be apportioned among the
householders OF many streets?
II strikes us that great injustice Is being
done to some sections Of this city, anu
we wonder that the neighbors do not
rise UP and appeal TO the Council ana tne
courts, and agltate and agitate, unth tne
public authorities are made to see tna'
II this abominable nuisance must be con-
tinued It should not be fastened upon
a few out OF many streets.
II seems to us that Richmond does hcr-
self injustice by not taking up and 'egis-
iating upon the question of a union STOCK
yard. Our present methods are provincial
unsatisfactory. and not economical, taking
a broad view OF the subject. But II the
city Council will not act on the stock
yard question, for Heavens sake let IL
compel each street Of the city TO bear its
fair proportion of the nuisance complain
ed of, and not perpetually burden and
blight a few neighborhoods with the
bleating of sheep and the odors OF pig
sites and cattle-pens.

war, and there u . suspicion snat tne
Boer leaders not only have an unoe'-
standing with the Orange Free state Dus
also with the people Of their own p'ooo
in Cape Colony and Natal.
In fact. dark hints are thrown out That
the Transvaal Beers are getting ready for
a racial war, in which they could count
on all the other Beers in South Africa,
and Il Is estimated that In such struggle
they could put 5000 men In the held.
So disquietins are the reports received
from johannesburg regarding the military
activity and spirit In the Transvaai that
the London Times deems II necessary 10
utter a note Of warning by reminding
the British Government and nation that
they ought to take steps to ascertain the
extent OF the Boer armament.
There could be but one conclusion or
race-war between the British and the
Beers I'm South Africa, provided the latter
were left to their own resources, and that
would be a realization OF Cecil Rhodess
dream, which is a clean British territorial
sweep from the Cape Of Good Hope to the
lakes. But would they be left unaided?
That is a question that might wei enter
seriously into British calculations. In
view of the position touching the Trans
vaal question Germany took after the
Jameson raid.
