A Word about Free schools.
tors Of the Dispatch :

To the Editors OF The Dispatch:
That our public free schools are unpopu-
lar, even with some Of our best and most in
fluential citizens, is n lamentabie fact. How
to remedy this and give them greater et1l-
cheney is a question of some moment.
The first step in this direction is to em-
ploy the best teachers but these cannot be
obtained when Il third.rate article is EN-
ployed at the wages of oIdnary labor. The
best talent is excluded from this important
work in some districts "by so great multi
plication Of schools in proportion to the
funds provided Us to make the dividends
so small that those who are competent
and willing to teach at S25 per month
are excluded by the appointment Of
others who offer to teach for SIS
persons who have never made teaching a
profession, and who now only adopt it as a
means of making living. Our best teachers
OF country schools are thus driven from the

Attention, Police! &!

10 the EditOfS OF me DtSpdtch:
| would like to call the attention of the
authorities through the columns of your
paper to the shooting that is done every eve
ming on the square bounded by Nelson,
Tweuty-siXth, Otis, and Twcnty.seventh
streets. A party Of men and boys assemble
on that open square and practice shooting at
birds. Last evening a horse took fright at
the report Of Il gun and ran away, turning
the buggy over, which had two ladies' in it.
1t is very dangerous TO the people passing,
besides, and should be stopped. If the po-
lice were TO make raid upon them and ar
rest two or three OF the offenders it would
have the effect OF stopping the shooting for
a while, at least. Will not some of the po-
lice devote their attention to that part OF
Union Hill between the hours of and 6
o'clock in the evening and ohise

Election An California.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 3.-The politi-
cal excitement here is very high at the elec-
ton to-day. The peoples anti-ailroad
ticket appears very strong, and the general
belief is that it will sweep the field. The
contest between P. Crowley Gnderendent)
and Theodore G. Cockrll Uemocrat for
chief of police has taken strong sectarian
complexion, and is very bitter. The order
of United Americans having publicly de-
clarcd in favor of Cockril, many Democrats
are voting for Crowley. The contest for
school directors is characterized by much OF
the same spirit. Ample preparations have
been made for the preservation of order at
the polls.
