We see that Jetmore township, in
Hodgeman county, has up proposition
to be voted for the 9TH day of April, to
issue bonds for bridge across the
Buckncr, and also bridge across the
Sawlog. These bridges, providing the
bonds carry, will be favorably located
for the travel between Speareville and
Jetmore, and the result of that election
will be watched for with considerable
interest down this vay.-Speareville
Blade.
Why does not Dodge township do
something towards building a bridge
across the Sawlog, to insure the Hodge
man county trade for Dodge City?
Trade that legitimately belongs to
Dodge City is taken to other points
east Of this city.

THE REACTION COMING.

The people of the country are accept
ing with extreme good nature and toler-
ance the opening events of Cleveland 8
administration. Outside of the office
holding class there is a strong Republi-
can sentiment which does not regard
the loss of power for single president
ial term as altogether a calamity and
without its compensation. There is a
prevalent notion that the Democratic
party, with reasonably fair man, like
Mr. Cleveland, in the. presidency can
not ruin the country in four years,
while during this period, the corrupt
and unpatriotic Democratic clement
will make such on exhibit of itself that
effectual means will be adopted By the
voters for preventing it from securing
long lease of power. While appar-
emily actuated by this indifference to
pomp with which the Democratic restora-
ton was effected, the Republicans are
already nerving themselves and prepar-
ing for the supreme effect which will
be required TO obtain control of all
departments of the national government
in 1SSS.-Leavenworth Times.

mitted while they were on a spree Sunday
afternoon.
William Barnett. a down at the heel
out at the elbow and decidedly antique
tramp told Justice Lee that he would
leave the city in an hour, if he could
have n chance. The court left a gap
through which Barnett could slip, and
the last seen of the tramp he was disap-
pearing over the western hills.
Two young men who ran their horses
through the streets Saturday afternoon
appeared before Justice Lee yesterday.
The boys were fined lightly and admon-
ished not to do so again.
A single drunk, of the dark horse
variety, left $40 with Justice Fisher yes
terday and hurried from the court room.
His name was given as John Doe.

The Omaha RspH5hcaH says the new
rules and time card of the Union Pacific
are taking effect with remarkable success
and harmony. 1t was naturally expected
that the change would be attended with
some confusion but the result has proven
more than satisfactory to the manage
ment. A few engineers who find the abb
sorption of new intelligence difficult at all
times complain some of the double or
der system, claiming that it is hard TO
learn and difficult to apply. The respon-
sible and respectable position held by a
locomotive engineer pre-supposes that the
incumbent is more than a man of nerve,
Drawn and sinew and a small task at brain
work should in all selfrespect not be com
planned of. The engineer delegates, for
greater part, still linger about the city con
ferring periodically with Superintendent
Smith. Both the men and management
are determined hat a perfect mutual un-
~derstanding shall be established. There
are some slight objections to the rules of
precedent which have existed for years,
which the engineers especially desire cor
rected. They seek that all authority shall
come from headquarters and the com
manding %prerogatives assumed BY local
superintendent, master mechanics, etc.
be curtailed. 1t is believed that this cen
tralization Of official power will prove of
vast benefit.

To-DAY,s ELECTION.


The campaign for the special election. to
be held to-day, has been a very quiet one
and no personalities have been used.
Lists Of the qualified electors are readily
obtsinable and consequently the voters are
known to those interested. No poll taxes
have been receivable since the last city
election, and hence there is no chlnge in
the qualifications of an elector.
The voting places and judges for the
several wards are as follows
First ward Polls at the Metropolitan
hotel. Judges, John f. Davis. NJ. p.
Maroney, George +. Bescherer.
Second ward Polls at the Alert hose
house. Judges, Thos. F. Durbin. George
Wilford, Colin Hunter.
Third ward Polls at the city hall.
Judges, John A. Martin. Herman Haas,
j. d. Corey.
The judges will select their clerks. The
polls will be open at 9 O'Clock in the
morning and will close at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. About 500 hundred votes
will be polled. OF that number at least
800 should be cast for A. H. Reel, and
each voter should do his share to swell
Mr.. Reels majority. The ladies will vote
as they please and, with very few excep.
tons, will cast their votes for Mr.. Reel
