Congressman Pickler worked all night
to harmonize the Republican forces and
line them up for Kyle. and appears as
happy as though he himself had been
elected. Six Democrats voted for Kyle.

YESTERDAYS ELECTION.

The results of yesterdays vote ON the
charter and the school committee We're
not unexpected. Indeed as far as the
charter is concerned it was foreshadowed
pretty clearly by the fact that was dis
closed some days ago that many gentle
men of influence and standing in the
community had not taken interest enough
in it to inform themselves as to its pro-
visions. General apathy and the
cry that the charter tended to
concentrate power in the hands of the few
which was skilfully used by the leaders of
the opposition sufficiently explain the de-
feat. 1t is to be regretted that question
of so much Importance aroused so little
interest that not much more than a third
of the normal vote was thrown. Such
general Indifference TO question which
deserved the thoughtful consideration of
good citizens is not an encouraging
symptom
The school committee amendment made
a considerably better showing than the
charter, though that too was defeated. 1t
will be observed that the three upper
wards voted yes on both questions, while
the three lower ones and Ward Six voted
no on both. Ward Two gave the largest
majority against the charter, and Ward
Seven gave the largest majority in its
favor. The largest majority against the
school committee act was thrown by
Wards Two and Four, each an even hun
dred, while Ward Seven threw the largest
majority in its favor, just one hundred
and one. The legislative act provided for
but one trial on both acts, SO they are
both dead. To submit either of them
again new legislative act will be
necessary and this cannot be had for two
years, if at all.

THE PORTE AND THE POWERS.

| The civilized world will receive the
news of the defiant attitude of the Porte
towards the Powers with a good deal of
satisfaction The Powers unclaimed the
Turks and let them loose upon the Greeks,
thinking undoubtedly it would be an
| easy matter to chain them up again when
| the time came. But his easy victory over
the Greeks has given the Turk very ex-
allied idea of his military strength and
prowess. A taste of blood has made him
ferocious. 1t has destroyed his discretion
He is defiant and in his present mood odds
against him count for little. Furthermore
the logic of the situation is in his favor
He has defeated the Greeks and practically
driven them from Thessaly. He claims
that the war was thrust upon him by
the Greeks, and that he is fairly entitled
to be reimbursed for his losses and ex-
penditures. Germany recouped itself
after her war with France by huge in
dennity and the two French provinces of
Alsace and Lorraine which had once be-
longed to her just as Thessaly, had be-
longed TO Turkey. Why has not the Porte
as good right to recoup itself as had
Germanyf The answer is because might
has very much to do with making right
in Europe, and Turkey has not the might
to cope with the united powers But this
answer the Porte in his present mood
takes no stock in. His successes have
swelled his head. They have brought to
the front the war party, which demands
that the Sultan shall not forego the fruits
of victory at the demand of anybody.
Russia found Turkey pretty formidable
foe in 1871, and if the latter concludes to
defy the powers now the powers will have
no small job on their hands to bring her
to terms, even if they are united But
there is the stroHg probability that
they will not be united. Turkey defied
them in Armenia, and worked her own
sweet win there in spite of their protests.
She played one power off against another
and by skillfully making use of their
jealousies kept them at bay until she had
practically settled the Armenian question
by massacre. Very likely she counts
upon the employment Of the same
tactics in the case of Greece, and certain
ly the experience Of two years past gives
her good ground for believing that she
will be successful. The Powers have been
plunged into their present predieament
by allowing themselves to be led around
by the nose by the German and Russian
autocrats, and it will be pleasur1 TO
