College, and requesting the various

gravel should be at least twelve inch

that the drainage to the sides woul.l

the road bed, one in the center and

laterals conduct the water to the
bitches at the side. Some of the
tiles have been in position three years

them has not displaced them, as was
feared; while each year their influence
has been more perceptable, as the
water has made more ways to the
drains.

regular hands who have never put

and finally. seven men to shovel the

will mention the after work when
the grating was finished. The field
looked like multitude of anthills al

land crosswise, throwing the dirt to the
vine. Then as soon as the union OF
scion and vine was strong enough, l Gu
the vine away, leaving one standard on

were leveled down, exposing the roots
on the scion, which were cut off; SO
that the vine must be supported from
the root of original stock alone.

Road Making.


nj. Stahl Of Illinois, SO entirely &C.
cords With our observations on this
subject of vital Importance to farm
ers, that we submit his remarks for
Che benefit of our readers. The roads
are crying evil and grievous ex
apense to our county and state, and
Che political stupidity of the major
itv of our farmers is almost entirely
Go blame for it. The writer we quote
says:
We all know that our country
Highways are bad AMI vexatious and
that good, serviceable roads. though
obtained at quite an outlay would be
profitable. We have bad roads be.
cause, for one reason, we have too
many of them. A second reason is
chat work put upon them is expended
dn wrong way. In nearly every
neighborhood the laying out of pub
dc roads has assumed the form Of
mania at sometime or other. AS a
result, few neighborhoods can be in
stanced in which there is not twice
rs great length Of highway as there
should be. I know of many farms
which are bounded on all sides, and
they are not large farms either; while
L believe one third of the farms with
which l am acquainted have high
ways on two sides. This is nuneces
sary. A road on one side affords an
outlet, and generally no more should
be allowed. Having so much high
way makes it necessary to spread the
road labor out so thin that it does
very little, and in some cases no
good.
In a majority of cases the road
over scorers are unfit for the position.
The position is one of little money
ana less honor. Men who have farm
20 look after do not want to assume
che position; and as a result it is give
to some shiftless person Of ill Judge
ment who has no farm. Under his
direction the road labor is misem
ployed !; and frequently it is made to
do more harm than good.
THE ROAD OvERsEER
should be man OF good judgement
Also, he should be man who will
insist upon work; for many men who
work well enough for themselver and
their neighbors think it no dishon-
esty to cheat the public and shirk
all they can when called out upon
Che roads.
Before these evils can be remedied
che public must be educated up to
the advantages Of good roads. These
advantages must be SO plainly seen
chat all parties will become public
spirited in the matter. Until such
spirit is manifested unnecessary
highways cannot be closed good
men will not consent to assume the
duties of overseers; and men will
not willingly do full days labor
when at work On the highways. y
plan which has given the highest
satisfaction when tried in this State,

ADemocratic Cyclone.

After the election judges and the public
had become wearied with the long in
terval that came between the closing of the
polls on election day and the declaration Of
the vote, complete returns allow the GLOBE
this morning to give full particulars OF
the Democratic cyclone that passed through
st. Paul on Tuesday last with all the par
ticulars as to the results. The total vote
in the city cast for the head
of the three tickets was 1879, of
which nearly two-thirds were for
the Democratic candidate, DR.. Ames.
There was an enthusiasm for the mayor Of
the city up the stream that gave him ma
jority in about every township and precinct
in the city and placed his plurality at
11,7l9. McGiII fell several hundred votes
behind the rest of the state ticket, polling
6,S24. The most sanguine predictions Of
the most enthusiastic friend OF Hon. Ed
mund Rice were more than realized in the
vote that Ramsey county gave to the
mayor of st. Paul. Five thousand had
been set as the outside of Rice's plurality
before election day. The results Of the bal
Ioting show a plurality over Gifillan of
6, 159. the plurality being greater than the
whole vote thrown for the Republican can
didate. The vote on the state ticket is not
regarded as heavy, though and can hardly
be called light when compared with the
registration. which reached a trifle over

Charges of Fraud.

There have been charges of fraud in
carrying some precincts, by the Repnbli-
cans, and it is possible that investigations
will be had. 1t is alleged by Democrats
that the town of New Canada, at
which there were reported more than
two hundred votes was the scene of gross
election frauds. They say that the whole
voting population of the township is 102,
and that the census of the town and a
glance at the poll lists will show this to be
a fact At the election it was reported that
more than two hundred votes were cast. the
vote for clerk, being O'Connor %, Nichols
100. 1t is well known that win Nichols
considered this as one of his
strongest provinces. Charges of fraud are
made in conversation, and it is possible that
a contest may be made as to the legality of
the votes cast at New Canada. Should
these be thrown out, the result on some of
those county officers where the contest was
close would be somewhat changed. though,
as it happens, none of the winners by small
EajOrities would be affected, except in in
creased majorities.

ALL A FART OF THE SHOW.
4 he Clown of Circus Precedes it
with a SerlnoB.

with n SermoR.
One day clerglcal-looking person came
to Nebraska City and secured the Methodist
church to preach in, the regular pastor
being absent. Of course the parlshioners
accepted with avidity the proposition of the
stranger to fill the pulpit, says the Carson
New Appeal. There happened to be a
circus billed for the town on Monday,
and the preacher took the circus for his
text.
He hurled his laundering anathemas at
the goddess amusement in fine shape, and
drew such realistic picture of the female
trapeze performers and riders in silk tights
and short skirts that his sermon didn't hurt
the show in the least He took up collec-
ton of S24.
Next day came the circus and McWhacker
disappeared. During the performance the
clown appeared in clerical rig and bur-
lesqued Rev. Joel McWhacker's sermon,
taking off the gentleman to the life Amid
the roars of laughter somebody in the audi
ence near the ring shouted out: That's old
McWhacker himself" And sure enough
the clown and New hacker were one and
the same person. When this was fully
realized the roar that went up may be i'm
agined.

The County Ticket.

No day of the campaign has seen or
heard as much speculation over the chances
of candidates for the county offices as yes
terday. Owing to the particularly slow
method of counting the ballots and the
large number of split tickets. 1t was not I'M
til last evening that the result was an
nounced in the last precinct. The candi-
dates, with few exceptions, were in the
dark as to their chances The re-
suit as shown by the completed returns,
has few surprises. Richter has about the
heaviest majority for the shrievalty of any
on the list, with Aid. Kahn, the successful
candidate for auditor, coming not far be-
hind. OiConnor, for clerk of the court,
defeated Nichols, the Republican, as was
generally predicted, in spite of the hostile
forces of Dick Bell, the present incumbent.
In spite of the thousand or SO votes that
went to Bell, it does not seem under the
light of the latest returns to have been a
good election day for the Bells
Aside from the independent move
of Il. W., c. \. Bell was defeated for
county commissioner and NJ. j. was, by an
exceedingly small majority, beaten by Mr..
GieSen in the race for register OF deeds. In
this contest. which was the closest of any
on the county ticket. Mr.. Bell gained a
good many VOteS py the use OF split IlckeIS.
Mr.. Giesen was supported by the Germans.
That his plurality was so small was one of
the surprises of the election. for it was gen.
orally conceded during the campaign
that Mr.. Giesen had compare
lively soft thing in comprising the
defeat of Mr.. Bell at the polls. Between
REM and Burton in the fight for the treas
urership the vote was comparatively close.
and from some unknown cause, unless Mr..
REM drew from his German friends too
argely for Mr.. Burton, the latter was defeat
ed. DR.. MarkOe led DR.. Quinn good
fight for coroner, but, by the ballot, was de-
clared the loser. The county commission
ers from the country are Republicans. while
those from the city are Democrats, Mitsch,
Liedman, DAILY and Kerwin being the win
ners in the city proper, and Boyd and Free
man from the outlying towns. Judge Egan
was Endorsed by the ballots as well as the
conventions of the Democrats and RepubIi-
cans.
Between W. S. Burr and E. Stone German
the result seemed hard to conjecture until
about evening, but the late precincts gave
German, the Democratic candidate, ma
jority of 1,619.
