Kansas Goes
Republican.
State Ticket and All Congressman But
One Secured by the Republicans
for Two Years.
RIDGELY ALONE WINS OUT.

Returns received from the election in
Kansas indicate that the Republicans
have elected their State ticket by about
10000 plurality for Stanley. They have
also secured all the congressman but
one, Ridgely securing a reelection In
the Third. They have probably secured
a large enough majority in the House OF
Representatives to control the election
Of State Printer.
When the first returns came in an in
creased vote was shown for the fusion
ticket, and great many Republicans in
Topeka conceded Leedy's election on ac-
count of his increased vote in the cities.
Later, however, when the country dis
tricts reported it was evident that they
gave Republican gains, and by noon
Wednesday it was apparent that the Re-
publiCans had elected the State ticket.
Then it became certain that they had
secured nearly all the Congressman, and
finally only the Third district was left to
the Populists.
The following State officers will be in
power for the next term:
Governor, W. E. Stanley
Lieutenant Governor, Harry Richter.
Secretary of State, George e. Clark
Auditor of State, George e. Cole.
State Treasurer, Frank Grimes.
Attorney General, A.. A. GODDARD.
Superintendent Public Instruction,
Frank Nelson.
Associate Justice, w. r. Smith.
The Congressman elected were:
At large, w. l.. Bailey.
First district, Charles Curtis
Second district, ]. d. BOwersock. &.
Third district, e. r. Ridgely.
Fourth district, J. M. Miller.
Fifth district, w. A. Calderhead.
Sixth district, w. A. Reeder.
Seventh district, G. l. Long.
The latest returns from counties as far
as can be learned are:
Shawnee county.-Stanley has carried
the county by $3.50 Leedy made gains
in the city, as did Boyle. Stanley's plu-
rality will be greater than Morrill's by
$50. T. j. Anderson, the Republican
nominee for State Senator, will probably
lead his county ticket which is elected
throughout, although the Populist can
didates for Representative, Thirty eighth
district, and County Commissioner came
very near winning out.
Wabaunsee cOunty.-Complete returns
in Wabaunsee county give Stanley 300
majority; Bailey, 1876, and Miller, 350
The Republicans elect Rinehart for Rep
resentative to the Legislature and all
county ticket, except County Superin-
tendent The county gave Morrill, In
1896 1876 majority.
Mcpherson cOunty.-Complete returns
for this county elect the entire Repub-
ncan ticket, except Commissioner Of the
Third district. Stanley's majority Is 4S1,
and Longs, 229.
Marion county.-Stanley carries Ma
rion county by about 700 plurality; Mil

about $50. The Republican county ticket

! useless ornaments, with no purpose
| and no worthy result" AS the modern
| Hamlet observes, There's the rub
| and because it is impossible to solve It.
public expense must somewhere draw
the line and leave the requirement of
"frills" to private search. 1t is prac-
tical question, not theoretical one.
| 1t may even be true, as my fair an
| tagonist intimates, that unless these
| useful asplrants for knowledge acquire
1t at public expense they will never
have it. Generally speaking, the con-
tention is not to be credited. but
| whether it is sound or not, there is a
limit beyond which the public purse
cannot stretch itself, and that limit
has been reached in most of the towns
in Connecticut. 1t may be deplorable,
but so are many of Vhe other inequali-
| ties which vex mems souls.
| There are certain things in the world
which can only be acquired at per-
sonal sacrifice, but there is no royal
road to them through the public purse.
! Self-cultivation Is one of them. The
| State can furnish the crude weapons
| for the fight; it cannot dispense culti-
walton as it does taxation or equity
| / cannot resist the conclusion that
my critic has confused the need which
constantly confronts the community to
economic where she must" and the
duty she owes the various classes
which make up her population. The
score of economy cannot be eliminated,
and duty is something to be settled in
| direct reference to it. What is neces-
sary must first be settled; what is de-
sirable can be determined later.
The great fact is that the bulk of the
children of Connecticut are confined in
their schooling to the limit set by law
fourteen years. 1t ought not to be diff
cult to find out what. the mind will
| receive during that period as well as
what it will not.

say GoLD.

1t seems to be very hard work for
some Of the advocates of sound
money and honest money" to say
gold Senator Frye of Maine says that
at was all right for Secretary Gage to
submit his scheme of finance, but it
was hardly polite to be so specific
about the single gold standard" SEN
ator Aldrich of Rhode Island says of
the Presidents recent declarations in
favor Of positive action, that they are
good principles, but bad politics." And
other leaders are not leading in this
momentous matter in any vigorous
way. The Hartford Courant has pro-
tested against this timorousness and
some other Republican papers have
done likewise. The Portland Press puts
the matter about right when it says:
The free silver people are bold and
outspoken. They know what they
want. and are not ashamed to tell it in
English that admits of no misunder-
standing or misinterpretation. They
believe in the righteousness of their
cause, and are making an aggressive
fight. To have any hope Of success
their opponents must make a fight
equally aggressive and open. If they
are going to begin with an apology for
the gold standard, if they are going to
act as if they distrusted it, if they are
going to proceed upon the assumption
that they can deceive the people as to
the real issue by using such phrases as
Sound money and "best money in the
world" and avoiding the word gold,
they might as well not make the fight
at all.
True Those who mean gold should
say gold, and say it as if they were
not ashamed or afraid.

market a lot Of other furs, and having
seal or a respectable imitation is no
longer going to be a necessity of dig
nified wardrobe. If you feel you must
take advantage Of the low prices now,
go in for Persian lamb blouse. There
is a good deal Of feeling against this
baby lamb, and it has brought the
prices down sensibly, but the material
will be exclusive for at least another
year, and it admits Of re1naking and
combination with other furs and mate
rails to an endless extent.
Feather boas like that pictured here
afford as quantity effective framing for
the chin, but fewer of them are seen
than in past seasons. The reason is
that in response to the fashionable
vogue Of gray that shade was taken as
the most desirable color for feather
boas, which then had the same fault
that was admitted by the admirers Of
chinchilla even when at the height Of
it's stylishness-they were too apt,
when worn next the face, TO make the
skin seem pinched and purple with
cold. If your complexion can stand it,,
you are fortunate, for then you can be
stylish without looking closely like
other women. Quite as great rarity
as a becoming feather boa was this
hat for though of black velvet. 1t was
freely trimmed with velvet roses and
foliage, the green Of the MORE ribbon
that encircled it's stiff crown matching
that of the leaves.

advanced socialistic thought, and
those in small cities. In Switzerland
there are three In no other European
country are any owned by municipali-
ties, except in Great Britain, where
there are six, as against l25 owned by
private concerns. OF these six cities
Blackpool has operated at a profit of
1892 year Ruddersfeld has lost $751;
600 in fourteen years Leeds has net
ted profit of about 2 per cent Ply
mouth lost $5,4S0 last year. Sheffield
has not paid interest. Glasgow paid
interest on &515,556 and netted about
$4,000. 1t must be considered also in
this connection that both labor and
capital are cheaper in England than
they are here, and that higher rates of
fare are charged. Under the tramway
act of Great Britain these roads are al
lowed to charge two cents a mile for
transporting a passenger, there are no
transfers, no tickets are sold at dis
count, and the longest ride in any one
of the cities Glasgow is five miles, for
which the city charges six cents.
These facts are not encouraging to
the advocates of municipal control in
this country. The cities of this country
would find profit in improving their
way of doing public business before
they add more business to be poorly
done.

THE DIES MONIES DEBATE.

Some of the citizens Of Des Moines.
Iowa, think that it would be good
plan for the city to- own and operate
gas works, and the discussion of the
matter is growing lively. One of the
most thorough of the debaters is Mr..
]. S. Polk. He is not in favor of mu-
nicipal control. and he has collected
some facts which are of interest not
only in Des Moines, but in all other
cities. He points out that such control
has rarely been successful. In Alexan-
dria, Virginia, the city sold gas at 81. 60
and lost s6,239.03; Philadelphia sold gas
at s1.5O and lost s106, IA; Richmond sold
gas at s150 and lost S42, 4o5. 81 annually.
AS to street railroads, none are owned
by municipalities in this country and
only four in Germany, the center of
