CHICAGO, NOV. Affection day in this
city which was for county officers only,
marked the Introduction of the Austral-
ian system Of voting in Illinois. Con-
sidering the fact that it was the first
trial of the system, the method proved
all that was claimed for it. There was
an utter absence of the scenes of vio-
lence and episodes of scandalous char
acter which have heretofore marked the
day of an election in Chicago.

New Law Worked Well.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 4.-Six o'clock a.
m. found groups of voters around the
polling places in this city. Owing to
the slow voting under the Australian
system the blockade in many places as
sumed serious form and business men
and clerks became alarmed lest they
should be shut out by the blockade if
they deferred voting until later in the
day. The result was that everyone
stuck to his position in line and an un-
usually large vote was polled by 10
o'clock in consequence. In most cases
more than half of the entire registered
vote was cast by that hour. The new
law worked satisfactorily in the most
intelligent wards, but in the lower
quarter there was considerable delay
owing to the ignorance of the voters.

A HEAVY VOTE CAST
Reports from the Different States
Show an Increase in the Number
Of Votes Polled.
Perfect Weather Prevailed in \
York state-Many Illegal vot-
ers Arrested.
Intense Interest Manifested in c
and Iowa-Reports from
Elsewhere.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The wea'
here was perfect. The workers fol
various organizations were extren
active. Voting was done more raj,
than last year, as the new ballot Law
better understood. Ex-President Clt,
land and Candidate Roswell P. Flow,
voted in their respective districts earl.
and were cheered as they walked up to
the polls.
The election inspectors state that the
vote up to noon had fallen numerically
9ehind what it had been up to that time
in other elections. This may be due to
the cold which prevailed early in the
morning. Fifty persons were arrested
for attempted illegal voting and taken
before United States Commissioner
Davenport. At the eighteenth precinct
out of 1926 registered votes 2e0
had voted by 1890 O'clock. There was
a lively fight in the nineteenth assembly
district at 10 o'clock. A crowd of
twenty or more young men and boys
known as the "Fifty-sixth street gang"
descended on the Republican booth and
lugged it off in spite of the efforts of the
Republican workers to resists They
would have made way with the box if
the police had not fortunately arrived
and scattered them. The box was
wrecked and the pastors torn up. The
gang retreated two blocks to the thir-
teenth election district and stole the
Republican box without opposition of a
serious character. The Republican
workers were bitter against the police
for not protecting them.

Threaten Excom munication.

Cork, Nov. 4.-singular statements
are alleged by the Parnellite leaders
as to the intimidation of voters by the
clergy. 1t is said that anathema has
been threatened against electors who
should dare to vote the Parnell ticket;
that men were told to drop the Parnell-
lite cause, under peril of being denied
the rights of the church, and that
women were appealed to by priests to
influence their husbands against the
Parnellite cause

Chile talks back to Uncle Sam quite
impertinently. The voice may be the

looks suspiciously like that Of John
Bull himself. England undoubtedly
views with alarm the growing encroach-

States on South American territory,
which she has forso long time con-
sidered her meat.

Gold is now coming into the country
in enormous amounts. Who will dare
to say that an addition of ten million
dollars to the money Of the country in
consequence of the sale of American
products to the rest of the world is not
a greater benefit to the United States
than an addition of an equal amount by
stamping as money a certain amount of
metal which is already in the country !?
Who will venture to say that the coun-
try is not more greatly benefited by this
in flowing tide of gold than it would be
if the metal were silver? The truth is.
what is happening today is what the
slang of the day would denominate an
"object-lesson" in monetary science.

It Paws to Get the Best.

Some people think economy means
buying cheap things-articles that
cost the least money of any Of their
kind. True economy is getting the
best for the amount of money you
have to spend. A really serviceable,
well-made article, even at goodprice,
is worth houseful of shoddy manu-
factures, made only to sell. There is
no greater fallacy than to suppose
that Except in rare instances) you can
Get a dollars worth of anything for
less than dollar. Tradesmen do not
get rich by giving their goods away,
and it is safe to say that man is in
his business for the the profits and
not for amusemnt. If you travel, it is
economy of money, of comfort, of time,
to buy your ticket over such line as

A Fairy Tale.

A famous woodsman once boasted
that he could find his way through q
wilderness and return by the same path.
Being tested he carried with him a
slender thread, which should serve as a
guide for the return trip. Reaching the
end of his journey, he lay down to rest
While he rested came the genius of in
dustry and breathed upon his thread and
changed it to two SHINING ribbons Of
steel. 1t was q railroad. Thongs of
people whirled past him in luxurious
cars, and he read upon the train the
mystic legend: Wisconsin Central!"
For tickets, berths and full informa-
ton apply to any ticket agent.

sympathy exists between the Russians
and the Americans, and the difference
in their form of government only in
tensifies that feeling. They hate the
Germans, and l believe that is the
only people they do hate. A war with
that nation would be very popu-
lar. They do not hate Englishmen,
though one would naturally suppose
they have good reasons for enmity. On
the contrary, they laugh at him good
naturedly and pass him off as a joke
Upon the stage he is represented with
a tall hat and long side whiskers,
something like Lord Dundreary' But
Americans they love- l was never
treated better in my life than in Rus
sia. The ladies are great conversa-
tionalists and very entertaining. They
resemble American ladies IN manners
never appearing awkward or at loss
for something to say. ..
NIHILISM is RARE.
Zone would would think after list
ening to all that is said in this country
that Nihilism was fast getting the up
per hand in Russia. I have lived
there six years, and though Odessa
with its 10000 people is said to be a
hotbed of Nihilism l have never Stun
bled against it. It's confined to very
small part of the population. The Nj
hilists are either young students or
people from the lower class who have
been educated above their station, and
know not what to do with their knowl-
edge. There are only two classes in
Russia, the high and the low. The
former educate their children for army
or navy or liberal professions. The
trades are monopolized by the lower
class and the Jews.
"As to the laws they are severe but
just. Of course, political offenders
are sent to Siberia without trial, but
civil offenders are always given trial
by jury. The people elect their own
Mayors and other officers just as in
this country. One man, the Emperor,
rules over the nation as whole, and
is we'll liked by the great mass ofpeo-
pie. I don't see any reason at all for
predicting a sudden revolution in
Russia. The people are patriotic and
would fight for their country to the
death. Peter the Great ruled six mil
lions square miles; the present Gar
rules over 100000. That does not
look as if Russia were likely to disin-
tegrate, does it?
CONDITIONS IN RCss1A.
--." conditions there cannot be 1ikened
to conditions in this country. There
are as many as fifty principalities in
Russia, not counting Poland and ST.
IBERIA, and made up of people of diff
ferent religions. How in the world
could that great country be governed
if it were divided into sovereign states
The life of that nation depends upon
the one-man power which holds it in
tact, and the Gar is wise ruler anC
I believe has at heart the best interests
of his great people. He is very at,
fable gentleman and a kind and gen
tie husband. His son, the Czarovitch
is also bright boy and is watched
with jealous care both by his fathe
and mother.
"Of course I do not pretend to sa.
that injustice is not sometimes dom
to an idnividual here and there, bu
the dissatisfaction of the government
and it's many acts of wanton cruelty
which you read of in the newspapers
are but the idle stories of newspape
correspondents who are simply cater
ing to a popular demand for sensa
tionalism."

RUSSIAN PATRIOTISM.

"There is no person more patriotic
than the Russian. You hear more
about Nihilism in this country than in
Russia. The Nitilists are in a very
small minority. The average peasant
and he constitutes ninety per cent OF
the population, is true Russian.
You cannot but respect their patriot
ism. The genuine Slav never emf
CRATES. The so-called Russianized
Germans leave the country, but sell
dom do you find a full-blooded Rus
sian in a foreign country, except when
he is on visit. The, educated class
