Col. Ben. Wilson as u Political Prognos.
tientOF.

CLAREsDuRG, W. VA, NOV. ..
Editors IntellIgenCer.
A few days since an enthusiastic young
Democrat and admirer Of Ben. Wilson,
asked the Colonel what the Democratic
party was going TO do about the "Cipher
Dispatches" and the other Democratic
frauds in the South in 1880. The Colon
els answer was: "'Say nothing about them.
Lu,Ore u.e 1rhole matter as The dead past" It
seems that the Colonel takes in the situa-
ton. 1t won't do TO yell "Jtraud" in 1880.
Thattrump is played, and the Colonel has
shuflled the political cards too often not to
know how to play the game. lie
never studied anything else but
the tricks OF the game and ought
to know when trick has been exposed.
And this reminds us that shortly after the
Colonel's return from Washington, on the
adjournment OF the last session OF Con.
greSs, he was consulted" by come of his
political friends as to the best way to man
age the Greenbackers. Tho Colonel said
he would tell them story. He rcmem-
bered that an election was once held hero
when" "Know-nothingisn" was rampant in
the country, and great many Democrats
had joined the knOw-nothing party. A
certain Constable by the name Of F.
was candidate for reelection. He had
formerly been Wing. One Jones had
been lifelong Democrat, but on election
day turn cd up to all human appearances
very energetic Know-nothing. +. thought
il was u splendid opportunity 10 utilize
Jones. So taking him to one side he slip.
ped dollar into Jones hand, and told
him TO rally his Democratic friends TO the
"Know-nothingca cause" Jones took the dol
lar and promised 10 do his "level" best.
The voting was rird roce. F. kept q watch
on Jones voters, and soon saw that they
were all voting for the regular Democratic
candidates. +. took Jones aside, again,
and demanded to know why he wasn't
voting his men for the GLORIOUS cause OF
the Know-nothingers, and asking what the
d. he meant by letting them all vote for
the Democracy, rs they always had done
before. Jones said: "Does voting for the
'Know-nothingers, mean voting against
the Democracy" Certainly 1t does"
said F.
swell, then by Cd here's your money"
said Jones, and he went on working for
the Know-Nothing cause and making
votes for the Democracy. Just so, said
the Colonel, will it be in this campaign.
We are Grecnbackers and will insist on
everybody else being Greenbackers, but
let the Greenback cause be best subserved,
always, by voting the Democratic ticket.
And Just so was the thing worked, in this
rouniy Mt least. About 1000 GreenbaCk |
votes were polled; about 900 Of them were
from the Republican ranks. Democrats
were most intolerant towards Republicans,
and all honest money men; but they took
the best OF care to vote tho Democratic
ticket, Notwithstanding there were hun
dreds OF them in the Greenback clubs.
So much for the duplicity Of Democracy
under Wilson in 1878. How shall it be in |
1880? Lying and r.lscally still?

DURiSG the recent visit OF the writer to
the West, he was riding one night in the
cars on the Hannibal and st. Joseph Rail
road, conversing with anintelligcnt gentle
man from Kansas City. The train had
lust passed Cameron junction, and was
proceeding on its way towards the Miss
issippi river. All ut once the speed was
noticcably slackened, and the train for
half hour or 80 was run at q
very slow rate. By and by the conductor
came back to the Kansas City gentleman,
with whom he was acquainted, and quietly
Informed him that we had Just passed

lie had received dispatch from an agent
Mt station ahead cautioning him to run
slowin certain lonely locality, as 1t was
believed that gang OF robbers had
planned TO ditch the. train and plum
der It in that vicinity. This was very re-
freshing information, but not OF kind
TO go to sleep on. 1t served to set sew
eral people to discussing the future Of
passenger travel in this country. Railroad
robbcries are not yet common in the land,
hut the interval between them is not so
great as it used to be. It Itpromises apPar-
entity to shorten still further, unless some
more effective way than has yet
been adopted can be devised for de-
Tending trains from such attacks.
The express cars arc OF course the
particular incentive TO the robbers, but at
the same time they do not object to max
ing expenses out Of tho passengers. The
fact that they generally get away is an en-
couragement to others to go into the busi'
ness. The gentlemen Of the road" were
numerous ut one time in England, and arc
still 80 in Mexico and Italy, and not by
anymeans fow along some oil our Western

CHICAGO.


CmlcGAo, November 23.-The week has
been uneventiul in local monetary af.
fairs. The banks have been well
supplied with loanablc funds, and,
with limited offerings Of paper for dis.
count, rates have been easy ut SalO per
cent on time and 5a0 per cent on call.
The demand by Board OF Trade men, pro-
vision dealers and lumber merchants has
been little better than week ago, but
considerably below the wishes OF our
moncycd institutions. The general feel
ing in banking circles has been healthy,
and good demand for the "ncedful" is
looked for when the weather becomes
cold and the lakes are sealed. Bank
clearances for the week foot up total OF
lS,07O,OO2 55, being less by S87l $50 4S
than for the corresponding week last
year.
The trade ofthe city has been good, con-
sidering the unreasonable weather, and in
most branches equal to last week. De-
posits are not as large as those weckago,
but collections have been good, which
shows healthy state OF affairs. The
grain markets have been tirmer, especially
for wheat, rs stronge parties have control
Of the deal. Hog products have been
weak and lower. Now, however, there is
light reaction, as the low price have
brought in orders and caused parties who
are on the short side to fill in outstanding
contracts. Chicago packers since Nov
ember lst have slaughtered 59S,500 hogs,
against 3il 400 for the corresponding per-
iod lust season. The receipts OF hogs for
the week ending to-day were 23O,?4l
head.
The visible supply OF grain in the State
and Canada on the 10Th instant was 81, 70o,-
900 bushels, against Sc, 1000 bushels on
the 9th, and 3G,O3G, 900 bushels on the I'd.

We are glad to see that the long discus
sion between the parkersburg Journal and
the Catholic Messenger is at last coming to a
point-wc dare not say to conclusion.
The Journal calls on the Messenger to say
explicitly what sort of religious exercises
it contends for in the public schools. The
confidence with which the editor puts this
interrogatory indicates that he expects to
corner the Messenger in the next issue.
And we think lie will.

A NUMBER of Wheeling people arc talk
ing Of joining the Mexican party thatpro-
poses tO leave Chicago on December I'd.
II they go they will take with them some
samples OF Wheeling manufactures, which
they will hang up in the halls OF the Monte
zumas, or in the Grand Plaza, or some
where else in the capital Of Mexico. They
will go to Galveston by rail, from there to
Vera Cruz by steamer, and thence TO the
City Of Mexico by rail. AS our readers
are aware, q very considerable interest is
being awakened in the near future OF our
trade relations with Mexico. 1t is not i'm
possible thatthe coming session OF Congress
will grant such aid to Tom Scott's Texas Pa
ciic road as will insure its completion at an
early day. In. that case it will at once make
Mexico virtually part and parcel OF this
country. There are two or three points
on the line Of the road where it will be
tapped by lateral Mexican roads, all of
which will open up vast areas of Mexican
territory to American trade. Mexico is
country rich in future possibilities, and
only needing strong infusion OF Anglo
Saxon blood and energy to develop it.
A great immigration from thiscountry will
follow the building OF these railroads.
Even il Congress grants no aid to the
road named, it will certainly be
