New YORK, March 27.-R. G. DUN &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
"With confidence that better times
and larger business are coming, men
are less disposed every day to throw

fact that prices of products are low is
regarded as a guarantee against fur

at work gradually increases.
The grain markets have lost with
out reason the gain they made the
previous week. Wheat supplies are

THE TIDE TURNING
DEMOCRATS VICTORIOUS IN MUNICH.
PAL ELECTIONS.
Carter Harrison Wins Elected Mayor OF
Chicago by vote of Nearly Twoto
One-CantOn does Democratic.

One-CantOn does Democratic.
Chicago, April 0.--With the ma
gio of his famous fatber's name,
aided by the independent split in the
regular Republican ranks and the
fiocking of the discontented laboring
class to the standard of silver Demo
cracy, Carter Henry Harrison was
elected mayor of Chicago today and
a great Democratic triumph was re-
corded. The $4,000 plurality of
Mckinley over Bryan was turned
into Democratic plurality of about
10000 over Judge Nathaniel c..
Sears, the machine Republican con-
didate for mayor. The almost COM
pleto mayoralty returns show that
Harrison polled a plurality of about
$4,000 over the noxt best man, AL
dorman John M. Harlan, Republi-
can who ran on the citizens ticket by
himself Tho figures also indicate
that the next mayor polled q small
majority over tho three ether prin-
cipal candidates, Sears, Harlan and
Hesing, the ex-postmastor and Cor
man editor, whose ticket was called
business administration of num-
clpal affairs. He is q gold
Democrat, but his boasted strength
among the independent mon of
both parties dwindled to about
10000 total vote. Harrison's total
vote is about 100000, which is less
than 5000 undor the vote polled by
VIM. j. Bryan.
The total Republican vote ls
about $1,000 while Mckinley polled
200, TAT votes in November. The
rcst of the city ticket, attorney,
treasurer and clerk, all the town
tickets and largo majority Of the
common council have gono Demo
cratic on tho tidal wave with the
possible exception of the Hyde town
ticket. Harrison or Harlan carried
every ward in tho city and the Re-
publican machine was repudiated
everywhere. There is really nothing
left for the Republican party to con-
sole itself with, except a few alder
mon whose records were good and
who happened to live in wards that
are usually Republican. The argu-
ment of the Republicans that if Hes
ing and Harlan, tho two Indepen
dents, had withdrawn, Judge Scars
would have won, does not hold good
when it is shown that Harrison has
q clear majority over all three. The
other city tickets in the field cut no
figure at all.
There was joyful demonstration
OF Democrats on tho streets when
the result became assured and thous-
ands gathered in front of newspaper
/ Offices to cheer as the news was dis
played. There were impromptu pa.
rades, fireworks and much cannonad-
ing of the atmosphere
Carter Harrison said of the result:
ut has been Il victory of unitide
and not a divided Democracy. Gold
as we'll as silver mon cast their bal
lots for me and registered e protest
against Republican misrule. The
workingmen wero with me-"
The late returns indicate that the
Democrats will have SO aldermen
out of 6S in tho council. Twenty
eight Of the Democratic candidates
arc probably elected out of 81 and
with the L! Democratic hold-oyer
aldermen will give that party a ma
jority in the Legislative body.

they shall register the name of the
holder, County from which issued,
date and number of tho certificate,
and when SO registered it shall have
the samo force as if issued in that
County.

keep q register in which shall be re-
! corded tho name, ago, sex, color and
postoffice of each person to whom a
certificate is granted, and also the
date and q 10 of tho certificate.
TRUSTEES.
Sec. %. Every claim or warrant
issued by board of trustees shall be
signed by at least two memters of
the Board and should not be approx
cd by the County Superintendent of
Education until the clerk of the
board of trustees has entered it upon
book kept for that purpose.
Sec. "a. No teacher shall be em-
ployed by Il board of trustees who is
related by consanguinity or affinity
! within the second degree to Il mem-
Dor of tho board Or to principal of
school, nor shall they employ a
teacher holding certificate issued
by board Of another County until
the certificate has been duly regis
tered in the Office of the County Su-
perintendent Of their own County.
Sec. rs. That no school supplies
shall be purchased by school officers
for use in the public schools of any
County in the State except such as
are authorized by the State Board to
be sold. The vendors of all such
supplies authorized to be sold by
this Board shall enter into q written
contract with this Board, in which
the prices of the supplies shall be
stated and copies of the supplies
shall be placed in the Office of the
State Superintendent Of Education
and tho supplies sold to tho schools
shall at all times conform to the sam
plos, and the prices shall not exceed
tho prices agreed on.
The County Boards may allow. or
disallow such supplies, or any of
them, to bo sold in their Counties.
In case thoy permit the same to be
sold they shall give the vendor a
written permission to offer tho same
to the trustees of their Counties, the
prices of the supplies to be named in
the written permission, leaving the
purchase, or not, of such supplies to
the good Judgment of the boards of
trustees. In case tho trustees pur-
chase any of such supplies they may
give a warrant against the school
fund Of their district in payment
| therefor, but in no case shall the
County superintendent Of Education
countersign or endorse any such war
rant until the supplies have been de-
livored; the County Superintendent
shall hold all such warrants in his
possession until tho delivery of the
/ supplies is made. All persons pur-
chasing any such warrant before the
same has been countersigned by the
County superintendent of Education
do so at their own risk.
