Kansas City. Mo. Nov 7.-Kansas tried the
Australian ballot system for the first time to-
dav There was little electioneering and little
money was used. but the complications OF the
new system mystifed many voters. and the ig-
norant class In many instances refrained from
voting at all The coored vote was appreciably
light all over the State. Returns are coming In
slowly but indications at midnight point to a
Republican victory.
Complete returns from Miami County show n
Republican majority Of 400. In Cowley County
in which Arkansas City and Winfield are stu

200 majority They also elected their full ticket
In Montgomery and Harvey counties The fig

publican gains as compared with 1891. another
ON year" In the other counties named there
Is little change The Populists carried Kingman
County By 200 majority. Incomplete returns
from Leavenworth County indicate a Democratic
ma ority
Additional returns show Republican gains In

proved a failure. In Scdgwck County for In

We fully agree with our contemporary that the

We say that the Democratic papers are largely
responsible for the suffering among the laborlng
people and the business depression to-day nv
their dishonesty and untruthful representa- tons
they caused great mass OF worIingmen in this
country to cast their ballots for Democratic cam

upheaval has paralyzed business and has resulted

but held down-by England. and this not so much
by force as race prejudice and religious bgotry
Under these conditions OF repression the Irish
character has but little opportunity for full UNI

Of the race is ever alert. and gives to England
much ard constant trouble.

Is steadily broadening. And you must own that
Il Is not by numbers they have gained their dis

THE PROFIT IN READING SHAKESPEARE.

To The Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr. Dana's address to young men on jour-
nalism Is fun OF thought for men and women In
many other walks In life. l wish to refer partcu-
lnrly to what he has to say OF the study OF Shake
speare's plays Women particularly are disnclined
TO join either classes clubs where study Is ex-
pcctcd. II some can digest n subject and place
before them the best thought drawn from the study
of Shakespcaran literature they are delighted to
take 1t In and formulate some new thought to re-
fresh their mind and give them a theme for con-
versation. Ideas gained In this way are much better
than none at all. There five six clubs In
NcwYork City where women and men meet once
or twice n month to discuss Shakespeare's plays.
There evening and afternoon classes where
women meet to do the same kind OF work In con-
ncction with the discussion OF current events and
current literature. But the educated women OF
New-york city. all combined. who belong to these
clubs and classes are but az a drop In the ocean.
II Mr. Dana would sound the tocsin and tell men
and women OF all grades IN life what pleasure and
profit they might secure by reading these plays
he would be a benefactor to hts race. ! think or
fear that too many are like the young woman
whose teacher urged her to the study OF English
