EX-SENATOR MCDONALD.
His Friends and Enemies Successfully Pur-
suing the Same Policy.

His Friends and Enemies Successfully Pur-
sung the Same Policy.
Washington Letter in Brooklyn Eagle.
Mr.. Mcdonald has been excessively an
noyed by the persistent manner in which his
friends and his enemies alike have put him
forward, the latter in order that he might
have the field against him. He is a dread
fully long-headed old fellow, is as plain as
an old shoe, but spacious beyond compari-
son, and what he wants he knows how to get
His wife is a beautiful and ambitious woman,
and not beloved by Mrs. Hendricks The
fact is the Republican party is indebted to
Mrs. Hendricks for their present four years
lease of power; for when the delegation from
the Democratic convention reached Indian
apolis at O'clock in the morning to get Mr.
Hendricks consent to change Indiana's
vote to Mcdonald Mr.. Hendricks said that
he would yield, but he must ask Eliza first
so the delegation, sitting down stairs
heard Mr. Hendricks, through the open door
of the upstairs room, state the case to Eliza
and heard her, after portentous pause, say:
'"Thomas-stlck." Mr.. Hendricks came down
and said that Eliza advised him to stick
and he stuck-aud the Democrats were forced
to take man who was born in Pennsylvania
and lived in New York-a political combina-
ition that would ruin George Washington, as
nothing on earth compares with Pennsyl-
Ivania Republican except New York Demo-
iCrat-and got licked, all on account of Eliza.
The chief objection to Mrs. Mcdonald appears
TO be that she is too pretty. She is an ex-
Itremely amiable woman, and it is nothing
against her if she wants her husband to be
President. When Mr.. Mcdonald married
this new wife he did not build a fine new
house, but he had his old frame house painted
ia nd a wi nd 0v in nd fol
Mcdonald she would have to be satisfied
with that He is far from being a rich man.
Personally, the utmost cordially and good
feeling prevails between Mr. Mcdonald,
Mr.. Hendricks and Senator Voorhees,, and
when Mr.. Mcdonald was in the Senate,
Senator Voorhees, and himself were con-
stantly together. Mr.. Holman was also in
innate with them, although that was before
the country was SO urgently invited to accept

WHITMAN'S PATRIOTISM.
How Oregon and Washington Territory were
Saved to the United States.
Cincinnati Times-Star

Saved to the United States.
Cincinnati Times-Star
1t is fact not generally known that but
for the knowledge and patriotism of one
man the valuable lands embraced in Oregon
and Washington Territory would now be the
property of Great Britain instead of the
United States. At a public dinner given in
1912, at which several officers of the Hudson
Bay Company were present, news was received
that band of British Immigrants had crossed
the mountains. Toasts were drunk in honor of
the event, and one enthusiastic Englishman
exclaimed: Nov the Americans can WHISTLE
the country is ours" There happened to be
present at the dinner an American missiona-
ry, DR., Marcus Whitman. who, when he
heard the boast OF the Englishman, resolved
that if it were in his power to prevent it the
country should not become the property of
the English The next day ne started for
Washington on horseback, and making
the journey in winter with frozen
limbs presented himself, Immediately
upon his arrival at the capital, to Daniel
Webster, then Secretary of State. Afer he
had stated his case, Webster bluffly told him
the country was worthless and that wagons
could not cross the mountains. Sir George
Simpson, who is here, affirms that" said he
and l am about trading that worthless
region for some valuable concessions in rela-
ton to the Newfoundland fisheries" Dr.
Whitman was in distress, for he found that
the treaty had already been approved by the
Senate, and was awaiting formal ratification
and the signature of President Tyler
He decided as a last hope to call upon
the President himself. After hear
ing him through President Tyler said
DIR Whitman, your frozen limbs and
leather breeches attest your sincerity. Can
you take emigrants across the mountains in
wagons?' Give me six months, and 1 will
take thousand emigrants across" was the
reply. WELL" said the President, eff you
take them across the treaty shall not be rati-
fed" With much effort the band of emil
grants was raised, and, though they were
met by deputaton from the Hudson Bay
Company, who declared that it was imposs-
Bile to cross the mountains, and were almost
persuaded to abandon their wagons before the
time expired succeeded in their undertaking
The patriotic missionary was vindicated, the
treaty was not ratified, and what will doubt
less prove to be two of the best of our States
were saved to the Union. All honor to the
noble man who had the knowledge and
courage to appreciate the necessity of max
ing an effort to save the Territory. In the
Northwestern celebration it is to be hoped
he has not been forgotten.

HOW SOLDIERS LIVE.
A Comparison Between Their Lives Fifty
Years Ago and To-Day.

N comparison BeCWeen Inefr Lives FIFTY
Years Ago and Day.
Washington Special.
The Army and Navy Register of to-day
contains an interesting letter on the
soldier. The writer draws an effective
contrast between the lot of American
soldiers fifty or even forty, years
ago and his condition now. Then a private
soldier received So month, his clothing and
his rations, consisting of beef or pork, flour
and beans or rice, and gill of whisky every
morning Immediately after reveille. Soldiers
at all the posts on the Western frontier, from
Lake Superior to the Gulf of Mexico, who
were employed as laborers on extra duty, re-
ceived fifteen cents a day extra and an extra
gill of whisky per day. Their companions,
not employed in building barracks or other
permanent labor had to perform all the
guard and other garrison duty
Rigid discipline was enforced and
company commanders took upon
themselves to punish at their own
the soldiers committed and there were some
cases where punishment was dictated rather
by the passions of the officers than by the

the Presidents Views.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-There is the best
authority for saying that an article in the
Washington Capital, protesting to give Pres
ident Arthur's views, was produced without
information from him, and the statement
that he is of opinion that New York State is
hopeless for the Republicans next year is
the reverse of truth. The President is anx-
ious to see the Bourbons overthrown in Vir-
ginia, and believes New York will be Re-
publican State in 1884 So much of the ar
ticle in question as related to the President s

CHICAGO, Nov. Con Change. to-day, the
wheat market was the center of interest.
Prices opened lower and the fluctuations
were within a range of &c and very lively.
Kent Walker and other heavy operators were
free sellers, while the street generally and
outsiders were buying. The Franco-China
war rumors, the clearer weather, and better
Liverpool advices, all added strength to the
market and prices were rapidly advanced
1Ac from the lowest range, and closed about
lie higher than yesterday. The receipts were
smaller, but the stocks in store showed a
slight increase. Figures on the curb were
strong and tomorrow a further advance is
expected.
Corn was very strong, and advanced &c
for the deferred deliveries, and &c for cash
and November. A large reduction in stock
here and a continued movement of the grain
aided the firm feeling. Strong parties are
buying literally.
Oats were &c better.
Pork sold off PIC to 1Oc, and ruled weak.
Outside orders were small, and the receipts
of hogs were very large. Provisions have
cut loose from wheat, and the latter is likely
to go it alone.
The lard market favored sellers, but prices
were practically unchanged. The demand
was weak. The outside speculative spirit
has turned again to the cereals and trade on

A COLORED MAN ON THE STATE
TICKET IN 1884.

That there arc colored men in
this State of ability, honesty, in
tegrity--ln fact, possessing all the
requisites that tend to qualify them
as American citizens and gentle
men of the first rank, where color
is not a distinguishing character
istic, the most skeptical will ad-
NIT. This being granted, and the
further fact that Q man is but a
man, why should not a colOred
man be nominated on the State
ticket next year?
While we are preparing an argu-
ment giving our reasons why, at
least one, should be nominated,
we invite correspondence and the
colored press Of the State to give
reasons either for or contrariwise.
In doing this we do not ask to
be remembered of the familiar
sayings: at is not time yet !" ut
will ruin the party !" &c. Give
us some tangible reasons why it
should not be done. We are aware
that in taking this position we in

we nevertheless believe we are
right, and that one in the right
will become to be a majority.

HIGH POINT.

This little borough, situated on
the w. N. c. Railroad, is one Of
the most thriving towns of the
State. Nine years ago, there were
but three hundred inhabitants
now there are nine hundred. To.
bacco factories are being erected
occasionally, which add much to
the life and progress Of the town.
The principal industry of the vii.
lage is the factory and planning
mill of Capt. W. II. Snow. We
were conducted through this estab-
lishment and shown its various
departments by Captain Snow,
and feel safe in saying that better
work can not be turned out in
any factory South.
The people of High Point are
looking forward with much interest
to the completion of the Fayette.
vile and Winston Railroad. This
road is intended to run from Fay
etteville to Walnut Cove, a dis
lance of 175 miles. It was projected

The thrift and enterprise for
which High Point and that imme-

the last eight years is due, in a
large measure, to the energy of
