KANSAS CITY, April S.-After a cam

were split from center to circumference,
tho city election passed off as peacefully as

6 a. M. to 3 p. III. and the largest vote of

ELECTION AT CHICAGO.
Republicans Seem To Have the Best of the
Situation.


Situation.
CHICAGO, April S-As far as can be
estimated at this writing Republicans
have decidedly the best of the election for
city and town officers. Out of thirty
four aldermen, with two wards yet to
hear from, the Republicans have elected
seventeen and the Democrats thirteen
members Of the city council while from
two wards Independents candidates will be
chosen. The.Republicans carried the cleo
tions in the towns OF Hyde Park and
Lake, and on the north side as we'll The
Democrats appear to have carried the
west side and the Republicans the south
side offices, but neither is sure as yet.
Strict party lines were ignored in many
of the aldermanic contests, as the NUM-
fcipal Voters League was out for the
scalps of men it declared TO be unsafe men,,
LATER.-Out of thirty-five aldermen the
Republicans have elected twenty, the
Democrats thirteen, and two Independ-
ents were chosen. There are thirty-four
wards in the city, but two aldermen were
chosen in one there being a vacancy in
that ward The principal feature of the
election was the effort OF the reform ele-
ment to down n number of gang" alder
men. The reformers were successful with
q majority of the men they were after,
but they failed TO secure three or four
bright particular scalps they desired.
Party lines were not strong In a number
of wards, and the reform movement had
much weight.
SPRINGFIELD, April s.-The Republic
ans elected their entire township ticket
except assessor, and elected six out u
seven aldermen, Democratic gain of one.
Tho city council remains Republican,
eleven TO thirtyrthree. The board of super
visors is also Republican.
Returns from 125 towns throughout the
'sto show Republican victories in about
four-lfths of them. In none of the cleo
tions was the vote ON straight political
issues.

A new plan is being tried in Ohio |
which threatens the extinction of the
old fashioned "deestrict school," In
Kingsville, Ashtabula County, there
we're a number of small schools requir-
ing many teachers, entailing much ex'
pense, and which could not be prop
erly graded. The farmers Of that SEQ
ton studied the question, and theu
applied to the Legislature for relief.
Five outlying school districts were
abandoned, with the agreement to
bring the pupils to the schools at the
centre of the town. Covered wagons,
completely inclosed on stormy days,
were provided, and arrangements made
with certain farmers to bring the chill
dren each morning. The wagon held
from eighteen to twenty-five persons.
In two districts pupils we're brought
four and half miles. In the other
three the longest trip was three and g
half miles. The conveyance both ways
cost from ninety-fve cents to $1.05 a
day for each wagon. As a result the
expense Of education in that district
has been reduced from On average OF
500. 70 per capita to $12.25. The at
tendance has been much better than
under the old plan; there has been
less sickness among the children, their
feet and clothing being kept dry in
stormy weather; teachers are better
paid and of higher grade' and the
improved teaching would be main
tanned even if it cost as much as The
old plan. The scholars reach the
schoolhouse at nine o'clock and leav'
at four, with the usual noon recess
The plan is being tried in other parti
of Ohio, and one by one the ''littl,
red school houses" are being deseEtet
formore commodious buildings fnrthe
apart, loss to pleasant memories 0
the old, but a great gain to Che rlsiuJ
generation.

It is bad policy to rent land where
it con by any possibility be bought. A
really good farmer is sure to leave the
farm he occupies in better condition
than he found it, and in this country,
unless a special bargain is made, the
man who has made the improvements
gets no benefit thereby, except as he
has made It while occupying the farm.
This matter is managed much better in
Ireland, declares tho Boston Guilt
vator, where for o number Of years the
law requires that the landlord shall
pay to the tenant the value of the i'm
provements made. Renting land is
much more common in Ireland and
England than it is in the United
States. 1t is also true that in Eu-
ropean countries land under cultiva.
ton is more apt to improve than it is
in the United States. Heretofore in
deed there has been little occasion for
laws to reimburse the renter for in
crease of value in the farm from which
he had been for several years taking
off the cream of fertility. Probably
as the improvement Of land rather
than its exhaustion becomes more
common the laws will be amended SC
as to better apply to the new condi
tions.

other countries. The track Of the Ka-
ma-Kura Railway is not fenced in, and
crossings rarely have gates A boy
carrying child on his back, straying
on the line, was recently knocked down
by an engine, and both boy and child
were killed. Thereupon the railway
company prosecuted the father for al
lowing his children to trespass, and ne
was fined ten yen. Some time ago at
Osaka a COW was run over, and the
owner was fined 200 yen besides losing
his COW.
rne Savannah News reports that the
severe storms have nsarly destroyed
the rice crop in Georgia. The plant
ers," it says, are having a pretty hard
time of it. The Louisiana crop, which
was a short one last year, is this year
so to 60 per cent short Of what it was
then. Besides that the crop was widely
damaged by a long and severe drouth,
and for these reasons the planters
around Savannah were looking for a
good thing Of 1t. After all the bills
are paid, however, it Is doubtful there
