The Democrais Swecp Chicago.
eo ~Curcaco, April 6."The mayorality
oelection today resulted in a decisive
~victory for the democratic party, its
~andidate, Carter Harrison, having
~more votes than all the other candi-
dates comb'ned.
At midnight the avalable - figu7es
gave Sears, repubiican, 60,000; Har-
ison, democrat, 148,000 ; Harlan, in-
dependent, 72,000 ; Hessing, indeper"
de: t, 18,000. The democrats made a
clean sweep of all the town officers in
th3 north and west town, also in the
south town, although the republicans
we 4 fighting chance to get an asses-
sor in part of the city. Oi the thirty-
~four aldermen, the returns point to the
Jeetion of twenty-six democrats, four
republicans and four independents.
Harrison gainea heavily in the banner
republican wa'ds, caraying the thirty-
fourth by 5,019, against 4,281 for Har.
lan and 8,434 for Sears, This ward
gave MaKinley a majority of 6,000
last fall. The Third. Fourth and
Twelfth always republican
strongh lds, were aiso cariied by Har-
Wars,
rison. It was apparent at midnight
that Harrison had beaten Sears, the
regular republican candidate, by from
85,000 to $0,000 voies. At the last
miyoralty election, Swift's ~vote was
143,407, against 102,294 for Wenter,
dem erat. In the presidential election
McKinley haa 200 747, against 144,036
for bryan. 7
The demcerats had an excellent or-
- ganization, their campaign was handled
well and as the republican ranks were
hopelessly split, the result was never in
much doubt, although Harlan, Sears
and Hesing all claimed that they could
not be beaten. The leaders of the re-
publican mach'ne weie not quite as
hopctul as they claimed to be and 1% is
seid on excellent authority that Sears
owas quietly traded for Roy O. West,
the republican candidate for city at-
tarney. ~Che campaign was fought for
the moet part on strictly local issues,
altheugh whe democrats had a silver
plank in their pfactoru.

For many years the country
newspaper has been an important
professional humorist, sharing
space With other staple goods that
could be relied upon to furnish
material for a joke at such seasons
as there was a dearth of novelties
in the market.
Most of the jokes having for a
foundation the couatry weekly
aud country journalism have
originated in no spirit of malice,
but because the subject has a
humorous side, viewed from the
traditional elevated plane~of met-
ropolitan journalism and because
humorists bave to live, and in
order to doso must mind the main
chance. That is why the subject
has been worked to bed rock and
beyond.
That most country newspapers
are important factors 1n local
affairs, no one at all acquainted
with the subject can for a moment
doubt. North Carolina has a list
of which any state might be proud
and from many of her small
country offices men have gradu-
ted to positions of national
responsibility and fame. If the
~own meetingT is the preparatory
school for the halls of congress,
in no less degree do the country
newspapers take the place of a
fitting institution for a wider
sphere of usefulness.
They are, asa rule, independ-
ently honest in tone, and allow
no fear of consequences to in-
fluence them when they feel like
criticising whatever is considered
worthy of criticism within their
jarisdiction. Their office is, pri-
marily, to print the local news;
and when they have done that,
they have done wel!. The fict
that John Smith has painted his
hen house may bea news item
of as much importance within
circumscribed limita of the country
newspaper's circulation as would
be the publication in the New
York Herald of the fact that Mr.
Van Astorbilt was contemplating
the putting cf new sails on his
million dollar yacht. It is simply
a question of locality. A three-
legged milking stool would be

~was calle
item of the stock-m tradeofthe}mone today -by Henry Selon~
Karr, conszrvative, to the wholly.
inadequate production of food
supplies in the United Kingdom.
In relation to its large and in-
creasing population, Mr. Selon-
Karr announced that the depen
dence of the United Kingdom
upon foreign imports for the
necessaries Of life and the conse-
quences. which. might arice
therefrom in the event of war
demand the serious attention of
the government. Speaking to the
motion, he expressed the belief
that the reserve cf breadstuffs
never exceeded three weeksT sup-
ply and frequently sank below a
weekTs supply. Frence, he point
ed out, was self-supporting, and
Russia and the United States
were not only self-supporting but:
able to make large exports. The
Dreikund, he continued, was
practically self-supporting and
Great Britain alone lived from
hand to mouth and drew her
principal supplies of wheat from
Ru-sia and the United States,
which might possibly at some
time be hostile to Great Britain.
Mr. Sclon-Karr furiher remarked
that should the harvest in
America fail and Russia refuse to
supply Great Britain, the latterTs
position would be most serieus.
The speaker called attextion to
the danger done to theT commerce
of the United States by the Ala-
bama and remarked that many
such vessels might be set to pry
upon British commerce in time of
war. He did act desire action
which wou!d raise the price to
consumers. but he hoped the
government would consider the
subject seriously and proposed
that state graneries be erected for
keeping supplies.
Sir Charles Dilke, radical, con-
tended that Russian exports of
wheat to Great Britain were
decreasing and be asserted that
half of Great BritainTs food came
from the United States.
