The petition calling for an election
to vote bonds in the sum OF 81. 900 per
mile in aid of the Omaha, Dodge City
and Southern arilroad, is now in the
hands Of the county commissioners.
The prospects Of the bonds CARRYING
are very hattering. In the counties
north Of here the bonds have carried al
most unanimously, and that Ford coun-
ty will fall in line, We have no doubt.
Dirt will fy as soon as the bonds are
carried. Eastern capitalists are ex-
ceedingly favorably impressed with the
proposed road, as being the most feast
bic and practicable of any now propos-
ed in the state. By giving the neces-
sary aid to this enterprise, We can place
our city and county In an enviable pos
ition. With these additional railroad
facilities, Dodge City will become the
distributing point for south west Kan
sas. 1t will build up home market
for farmers produce. l. will cheaper
freight rates ard the ilrm rs will be
directly benefited Ii Will bring Omaha
and Kansas City in competitinn for our
patronage.

The returns from the political con-
test here in Ford county has resultel
in majority of the republican ticket
being elected. They have secured the
Offices Of probate judge, county attor-
ney and superintendent of public in
struction. The democrats have retain
ed the Offices of clerk of the district
court ond county commissioner. TAX
ing the vote for president as the rela-
tive strength of the two parties, it is
evident that the democrats had repub-
lican majority of 252 to over come, at
the out set.
From the oficiat figures in another
column, it will be seen that every can
didate on the democratic ticket ran
ahead Of the parties strength, except
that of probate judge, and, that two
candidates overcome this majority and
were elected by handsome majorities.
The most holly contested battle, that
for representative, while won by the
republicans, cannot, by any means, be
claimed as victory by them. The
splendid fight made by B. +. Milton
can only be appreciated when We con-
slider the biz odds agasnst him. With
republican majority of 252 to start
with, his opponent: despite his exper-
fence and political shrewdness, was
compelled to fall back on the ever
ready Doodle in order TO save himself,
and then Milton cut into his ranks to
the amount Of i47 votes. At every
turn Milton met and routed his oppo-
nent and had the almighty barrel not
come to the rescue, he would have been
Ford county next representative. All
honor to the gallant leader of the
democracy of Ford county. Z. II.
Madison will be our next county attor-
ney, being elected by majority of AS
j. NJ. Lloyd made strong fight but
the same influences that accomplished
the defeat of representative were
brought tobear In favor of his opponent.
D. W. Moffet was elected probate
Judge over Judge Vanderslice, by
of 254. Judge Vanderslice
had, probably, more opposition than
any candidate on the democratic ticket.
He made a strong manly fight and ac-
cepts his defeat gracefully. He will
retire from the Office fully conscious of
having faithfully and impartally served
the public. Thos. Lahey has been
elected to the Office of clerk of the dis
trict court, in spite of the big odds
that were opposed to him. The affairs
Of this Office have been under his charg-
es during the past term, he serving as
deputy, and the overwhelming defeat
Of his opponent is be ter tribute to
MS efficiency, courtesy and honesty,
han any comment thot We can make.
Miss Fannie NJ. Thome is placed in the
envlable position of be- ing the first
ady officer in the coub ,ty' history.
d. N. Swan was handica pped by the
union labor candidate, who drew largely
from the democrats. Geo. f. McKin-
ney will again faithfully and efficiently
ook after the county interests as com
missioner. Mr.. Mckinney ran way
ahead of the ticket, receiving the nea,
majority of 81. Taking into consider
ltion the immense odds that we're op-
POSED to our ticket. the TINES certain
y has nothing to feel cast down over.
The election has demonstrated that the
democrats have fighting material, which
an be counted on for victory in the
uture.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, April 1.-THE
election to-day Wss exciting, but few
difficulties occurred. Unusual precau-
tions had been taken to preserve peace,
Besides large force Of police at
each precinct, squad was Sta
toned one square distant to be
called up when needed. A force Of sew
eral hundred men were assembled at the
Continental Guards armory, armed with
rifles and vans to convey them to any
part OF tie city where trouble WAS immi-
nent. This extra police force was COM
posed Of the best class of people,
merchants, lawyers, physicians, business
men and professional men who volunteer
ed for service. Early in the forenoon q
difficulty broke cut in the Second
precinct OF the Second ward
ONE OF THE TOUGHEST
in the city. The toughs attacked one of
citizens on duty there, Mobiles by
anne, and badly injured him.
In the scrimmsge another man, Peter
Byrnes, was shot. A squ'd of citizen
police, loo strong, were at once sent to
the scene OF the difficulty. There weTo
threats Of serious trouble, but order was
finally restored. In the First and Fourth
wards difficulties and shooting affraYS
subsequently occurred in which, however,
no lives we're lost. Squads were sent to
both these wards and peace was restored.
The pol 8 we're closed at p. m. A squad
of fifty to 100 more YVES stationed st each
polling place to assure fair
count. At many of the polls the deputy
sherifs
WENT OFF IN DISGUISE
at the defeat Of Sheriff Duffy, taking with
them the keys Of the ballot boxes and
thus preventing q count of the vote. The
boxes were subsequently forced open
and the ballots taken from them, but
it will be twenty-four hours before the
count is completed. The total vote Of
the city will be about 80 900, with $4,000
msjority for the Democratic ticket. The
Republicans elect one Senator and three
Representatives from the city, all
gain. In the municipal fight, the one in
which the most intense excitement pre-
vailed, the Independent ticket nominated
by the Young Mems Democratic Associs-
ton which mad the support of the COM
mercial classes and most Of the
better element of people and
which received the endorsement of
HepuDllcaps, WAS elected by majority
Of 1000 to 5000 over the regular
DEMOCRATIC OR RING TICKET.
The news from the country parishes
comes in slowly. The negroes at the last
moment failed to support Yarmouth and
he is testen by $1,000 TO 10000
majority on very full vote. The follow
ing Democratic ms critics are reported:

EVILS IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Many serious evils in our public school
systsm are quite apparent even upon q
superficial inspection, aud which pro-
found study and Investigation of this able
report will only make more clesr, as the
legitimate outgrowth of disregard Of
those correct principles which should d.
rect the administration Of this immense
revenue snnuslly expended, and as the
evils are growing more serious each sue
ceeding Year, is it not better to try some
other remedy even IL 1t be but an expert
ment? II seems clear to mY mind that
the system of public education, most
especially with reference to its fnsncisl
administration, needs csreful revision, as
serious abuses OF the states charity eX-
lists in many OF the coun1ies.
Our constitution provides that no
money shall be drs6 from the Treasury
but in pursuance Of specific appropriation
mace ny law.
By reference to cur appropriation for
public free SCHOOLS for several years psst,
it is matiar for grave question at least
whether or not this provision Of the con-
stitu.ion bss been strictly observed.
These appropriations are most general
sEd indefuite in their terms, and 90 NOT
Gttemptto specify the particular amounts
to be expended by officers charged with
the administration and disburse-
ment of the funds. Possibly
this may be necessiteted by the
peculiar conditions under which our
available school fund is created, but il
practicable 1t should be obviated By leg
islstive des' grafton of the specific sAount
intended to be devoted TO purposes OF
public education each year, as the tesch-
ers are the employees Of the state govern
ment, paid by It, and should stand on the
