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 “was 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. onan : eet Left $40,000 to Pub'1c Schorls, Dr. John C.

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 meeting’ 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.

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 weeks’ sup- ply and frequently sank below a week’s 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 latter’s position would be most serieus. The speaker called attextion to the danger done to the’ 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 Britain’s food came from the United States. , ire eel Just try a Luc. box ot cascarets, the finest. liver and bowel jegu ator ever made, ee ‘ RANK 3 : A ‘ 5 Be claalaiomalnalaneing Wasa ( e, ORS OF PRACTICAL TIN AND SHEET (RO WORKER.

In Chicago Carter Harrison, Democrat, was elected Mayor by 85,000 majority, this, too, in the face of that city giving McKinley 56,000 over Bryan in November.
