Harrison was yesterday ve- sleeted Mayor of Chleago by a mafority approximuting 6,000, My, Clark was defeated beeause: 1, ‘The very elass of men who Intlueed him to be a candidate and worked to seeure his nomination falled to exert themselves to bring oulb o large vote for him, A number of them il not even take tho trouble to vote, il compnratively few were present at the polls during the day, 2 ‘Ilhiere wns u heavy defeetion anong the Germans, influenced by the saloonkeepers, who approve of Harrlsow'’s freesand-vasy methods, - i ‘Cho Erish vote was enst nearly solid for Hnrrbson, Those who said thoy would vote for Cluk were, with o few exceptious, coaxed or whipped in, 4, 'T'he Socinlists, -who gave Dr. Sehmidt nearly 12,000 votes in 187, cast an Insignifl- eant seattering vote, hardly worth counting, for their own candllates thisyear. The bulk of them voted on the slde which represented the least fnw and order and the most tend- ency tu licentlous conduet, disorder, and chnos, From this sourco Hurrison recelved at least 8,00 votes, 0. ‘here was o strange apathy among thou- satuds of Amerleans, ordinnrily Repubtleans, for reasons best known to theaselves, P'rob- auly 10,000 Republicans refused or neglected to vote, Sumo of these professed to be satis- tied with Harrlson’s Ananclul administration, Lut many others were swayed by motives of another eharaeter, ¢ ‘I'he power of the protecteéd gamblers ex- tended to several thousawd persons who fre- quent their dens, and who voted for Hurri- son to avold any interferencawith thelr pur- sults by Clark, Many of these call them- selves Republicans nt Presidentiat elections. 7 ‘Ihere was an enormous amount of H- legnl voting In the Flrst, Second, nml some other wards, the proof of which lles in tho proportion of votes sworn In to those east by registered voters, Whilo the gains to Harrl- son from this source were not sufticient to chango the result, they largely increaged his majority, I'ne: Trisuse regrels the defeat of Mr. Clmk, because we think his election would have been n great public benefit, Ha isa clens, reputable, wholesoine man, an - rlght ‘and honorabla gentleman, and a person well qualified by experienee and ehar- nacter to diseharge with credit to hlmsulf and to tho Clty of Chienge the dutles of the Mayor's offiee. 11is defeat Is not n luss to hibm, but to tho people. 1le wasamost reluctant candidate, and he will return to the care of his large business interests with the consciousnesy that he has done his whole duty ns a cltlzen, dnd with no regret for his own sake that ho hng not been required to make the sacrifices which the Mayoralty would have demanded of him. As to Mr. Iarrison, we have nothing to spy. 1o {s not o better man to-day than he wns vesterday, und - his policy In muny re- spects no more represents tho better sentl- ment of this great commercial community now than it did the THE SENATORJAL DEADLOCK. The enucus of the Republienn Senators we fenr made nmistake i its determination to prolong the struggle over the proposition to elect Senate clerks even to the exclusion of the executive buslness for which the Senate was convened in extra session by the Presi- dent. Such a concluslon foreshadows an - definlt potitical discusslon, which can only be bronght to ntend by a surrender of one side or the other, of which there Is apparent- Iy no prospect, or by some unfureseen necl- dent. In the meantime the affairs of the new Administration areconsidernbly embarrassed by the nneertain tenuve of Government of- fielals whose terms havo expired, and the vexatloushmportunities of the ofliceseckers. ‘I'he Supreme Court, for Instance, 13 without n quorum whenever une of the active Judies 18 slek or nbsent, beeause the vacancy onthat Beneh 18 not fitled, while two of the Judies who retain thoir places arc Incapacltated. ‘I'ie business of the Administration fsblocked Inmauy ways, and even the politien! sesslon of the Senate hus become tiresomo to the publie, ‘The recent caucus sought to dlsarm eritlelsm by formulnting two propositions de- signed to justify its nction, These proposl- tluns are as follows: First—That tho question involved In tho Domo- cratie upposition to tha pending resolutlon s whethor i msjority or minority of the Sonate shull control lts uctlons that for tho mnjority tu suceumb (o tho minority now on tho mutter of o chofco of officers would nimply puve the way for u submission to the winority In matters of greater imporiance bereaftors und that,as thore 18 1o leglslative businoss to boe transneted ut this session und bo injury likely to result to publie furereats from deluy (n contirmmsg nominutions to ofllees elrenay fliled, tho prosent i3 the b thino to weet tho euo nbove tndieated and maim- tain the principlo that the will of the fiajority must provash Second—"That tho election of candldates nomi- nated by the majority, Including Riddleberger, must bo Juslited upon ns o wenns of sustiining and promoting an ulliatico of Itepublicans un Independent Domocrnts In Virginhs aud other Southern States in opposition to the lourbon Doemoornts, 1t was argoed in eaucus that tho Issue whethor or not tho I blicans of tho Henato will support tho alleged movomunt in Virginin for & * Ireo bullot and falr count ™ hus been anluunl Ly the nomination of Riddloberirer, and that to abandon hia proposed eleetion would Do prejudiefnl to success i tho fall ennpulgn und greatly diminish tho prospect of ita fiture gprulll;l throughout othor portions of tho **Solld outh," Nelther of theso propositions will stand tho test of nnatysis; and, unless tho Republle- ang fu tho Sennte enn surgest somo better reason for maintaining tho present deml- Juels, they will do well to abandon the strug- gle, contivm tho President's appointments, wd return to tholr howes, L Itis true that the Republicans In the Senate have n **constitutional mnjority ™ with tho voto of the Viee-Presldent, but it 15 equally true that they have not a **constl- tutlonal querum’? when the Democrals ve- fuss to vote, since the Vice-President can only voto In the cuse of n tle, It Is folly, then, to lnsist upon tho rights of n mujorlty which eannot be enforced by & quornm, ‘The Democrats had o elenr mujority i the lust 1louse of Representutives, but owing to absenee, Inditfurence, and disnffection they were not uble to secure o quorum of ‘their own number at any timo during the last sessfon when the Ropublieans resolved to withhold their votes. The Republicans in tho present Senato aro i even n worse pre- dicawment, for, It they wmay rely upon the constant presenco and coliperntion of ull the Iiepublican Senators, they willstill be unable to prevall, because their full complement falls one short of givimg thom u_quorum whenever It Is necessary to proceed without Dowmocratle votes, The Democrats have carrfed thelr obstructive measures fur enough to demonstrate thelr Intentlon to ilibuster to any length that may bu necessary to enable them to retaln the Senato patronage for thelr henehunen til) the rogular sesslon.

It Is not the speciab functlon of the United States Sennte at any thae to shapo the polities of the country. At this time the Senate’s business s werely to conflrm or reject Fxeceutive nppolntments, "Ihie project to * sustain and promote an altl- anee of Republicans and Independent Demo- eratg In Vieginia and other Southern States in oppasition to the Bonrbon Democerats?” Iy, consequently, extro-Senatorial, It mny be admitted that such un nchisvement, §f Lrought about as o uatural Ineldent of the sesston, woull bo f boon to the country, both North and South; but it does not follow that this end willbe promoted by any etort tnthis direetlon In prolonging an executivo session i n squabble over clerkships for several months to the negleet of publie business, Nor is it by any means certain that the elee- tion of Riddleberger, Mahone's eandidate for Sergennt-nt-Arms, will In ltselt be of very materinl nsslstance in Virginia aud the Souiln The lssue between Mahone and the Dlourbons has already been made, "Thy elee- tlon of Mahone's eandidate would only cm- phasizo tho Republican purpose to weleomo Jahone and others like bim v good falth, But of this there Is now no reasonable doubt cither North or South, aud, 1€ the antl-Bour- bon Democrats of Virginla are sincers in the professions which Senator Mahone hus made on thelr behalf, they ure ns ‘well prepared now to minke thelr tight as they -will be after Riddleberger shall have been elected, 'I'ho Senate should procced to the execu- tive business withont farther delay. Upto the present time the Democratsmay be falvly held accountublo for the obstruction of busi- ness, Dut the Jepublicans must be eareful not to nssutme that responsibility in the eyes of the public by perslsting ina purpose which they have not now the strength to earry out, ——e THE, OUTLOOK FOR GREECE. Late miviees from Europe hnve n warlike tone, 'The compromise terms for the ex tensfon: of the Greelan frontler offered by Purkey are not satisfactory to tho Hellenes, The Greelan Government 1s haidly o freo ngent In the matter. ‘Flhie pressure of public opinlon behind it for the ncquisition of Epirus as well ns Thessaly s practically frresistible. Preparations for war have long been earried forward on o largo seate, The Iden Is familior to the people, and o vast mn- Jority of them will bo opposed to n compro- mise, which wounld be, In thelr opinion, cquivalent to a bese surrender of more than half of all they have contended for, 'Tho Greelan tempernment 1s excitable and san- guine. ‘The lmngiuation of the peoploe is ensily influned. ‘The natlonal sentlment, which has been earetully eultivated for halt neentury, s stronger than those who seek to gutde and control it, and it polnts nlways i the direction of unity nnd natlonal aggrandizements The Greeks bellgve, and not without reason, that whenever they shall bo netually Involved I u war with Turkey they will have the sympathy and nld of Europe. TSiey rely upon ties of religlon, rnee, amd associntion, and the nifec~ tion of clvilized nations for thelr historieal character {o help them In this emergeney; and though thuy may be again disappuinted, as they have been many times before, they will nune the less bo encouraged to make the trlal, ‘I'he Greek questlon ks one of those Issues of which it hag been truly sald that they have “no pity for the repuss of the nutions” Whatever the devision may be In the present Instance it eannot bo final. The process of Gireck unifieation must o on untit it is com- pleted, LReslstanco to it In the loms run must be ag Ineffeetnal as the opposition of Europe to the reunlon of Italy, Greeco has alrewdy made enormous strides in the diree- tion of nationnl unity. ‘Lhe Turkish yoke has been thrown off the Peloponnesus, ‘The constitutlonal monavchy Ias been estab- Hshed, and the mass of the people colleeted in the Kingdom proper areattracting to them- selyes by tho frresistiblo imllnenco of u comuon rellglon, languuge, and Mt- erature thelr notural countrymen in all the surroundingz provinces, The forees n operation In this Instance are stronger than n the ense of Serviw by as much us the idea of o Pan-llellenie confedera- tion 1s more powerful than that of a Slivie natlon, But the sume religlous sym- pathy which mude tha Chrlstians of all Eu- ropo seeret nllies of Bulgaria and Servia, and provented England trom Interfering on be- halt of Turkey, operates stlll more swiftly and direetly in the enso of Greeee. Europe never would consent to'see Grecee, to whom the world owes so mueh, and In whose early glory sclence, literature, and modern prog- ress took thelr rise, dismembered or tram- pled uwnder gfoot by Bussubmans, Whilo Greeeo s an hereditary atly, Turkey Is an hereditary foe. It may bo that the Greeks are temptlng thelr fate in rushing now Into a war with n more powerful adversary; but, whethor thia Do 50 or not, they muy rest confidently in the bellef that thelr revenge cannot be long post- voned. It Is written In the books that Greeeo shall hinve not only Thessaly, bus Epirus and Macedonin, Creto and the {slands of tho sen. ‘Fhere aro 4,000,000 Greeks In these terrltories and in Asla Minor, 'They aro the most alert, vigorous, nnd acute race In that reglom.

Terhaps no device diseovered or utilized slnco thoseof the reaping-machine aud the cotton-gin has been of such valus to the Amerlean people s the producetion of wire adapted to fences, and so provided with barbs, thorns, or prickers ns to successfully exclude live stock from ficlds, or when in to keep them fu, ‘Tho cotton-gln was applien- ble only to n single erop, and the reaper was also limited to grily, but the barbed-wire fences nre useful to every foot of Inclosed land In tho United States, and to every man Inhnbiting n reglon where o horse, cow, shieep, hog, or other animal Is produced and grown. 1t i3 useful where llve stock ronm to keep them out of cultivated fields, and us useful when they are herded In keeping them in thefr allotled range.
