The Columbian club lecture course
was opened last Tuesday by the famous
"Kentucky Colonel" Geo. w. Balm on
"Among the Masses" or TRAITS OF
Character" He brought out happily the
different types of human nature foundin
different localities, showing the unavoid-
able effect of environment upon the in.
dividual in many laughable anecdotes,
but most of all he impressed his own
personality upon the people the genial,
impulsive, aristocratic, free-hauded
southern gentleman. While we would
not call the lecture great one, it was
yet very enjoyable and very different
from any we have had heretofore. The
next number will be Carter. the Magi-

snne suprestive Figures.

The elections held by eleven states
last November are very important in
their bearing on the future. OF these
eleven states-Iowa, Kentucky, Mary
land. Massachusetts,, Michigan, Missls-
sippI. Nebraska, Ohio. Pennsylvania
Rhode Island and South Dakota-the
Republicans carried eight and the
Democrats but three. The total Repub-
ilcan vote was 1,sss,l94, and the Demo-
cratic vote 1,s52,4S4. leaving Repub-
llcan plurality Of 2s9,7so.
The aggregate Prohibition and Popu-
list vote and some scattering votes
sum up about 10000. leaving a clear
Republican majority OF $1,000. This is
an excellent showing In a year when
there was very little political interest
outside Of two or three states. The
three states holding elections, but in
which there was no general ticket, were
Kansas, New York and Virginia. The
Republican plurality in the first state
is estimated at 10000 and in the second
state at $1,000, a total Of $1,000; and
the Democratic majority In the third
state is placed between $1,000 and So
900. So they just about balance each
other.
The elections in the year preceding
the Presidential election year are close
" looked to for Indications OF the drift
of public sentiment. II there is OPP
position to the party in power which
is likely to become formidable It is sure
to show itself. But II the country is
satisfied with the administration a vote
of confidence will be given. 1t Is in
the latter light that the elections Of
last year will be interpreted.

wool proatsLast Year.

The year 1893 will be remembered by
the wool trade as one of the most pro-
fitable in the history of that business.
The year 1897 was good enough for the
expectations Of those engaged in that
trade. but last year, without doubt,
was richer in rewards to those handling
wool. 1t was also far more profitable
for the growers at figures far In excess
of those of 1897. The Wool Reporter, in
noting some of the features Of the
trade, says: 1.-THE year recently closed
has an advantage over the tariff yetii.
70 far as gains are concerned, In the
fact that the stock taking of 1899 was
at the highest Inventories Of the year,
whereas In 1897 prices declined after
october
Everybody made money in 1880. Some
idea of thS profits may be obtained II
one stops to reflect that those who
bought wool heavily In the early and
middle part of tho year ought to bo
able to show o profit Of several cents a
pound. Take dealer who bought three
or four million pounds Of wool around
10 cents. and saw the p=.ee 60 to 10
cents. He need not have realised tho

Mr.. Henry clews, in his weekly cir
cular letter regarding business and
financial conditions, takes u very hope
full view Of the outlook for the present
year. ut Is rare indeed" he says,
'that the whole business situation Of
any country Is in SO satisfactory a
condition as we find It here in the
United States to-day The railroads
were never carrying 50 much tonnage,
and that Is a good index to general
prosperity. The war in South Africa
is not likely to seriously AFFECT values
in this country second time as seri-
ously as the recent one. II we receive
good news It will be so much to our adj
vantage, and II the news 1t not favor

Therefore l take 1t that the disturb
ance in the Transvaal has given US
about the worst shock that 1t is likely
to do. we have already shipped A.
$4,000 dollars In gold. which has done
considerable good in London without
doing US any particular harm. AS
matter OF fact, we have derived con-
siderable benefit by having benefited
the London money market by the gold
we have sent there, as our investment
securities have ceased now to be re-
turned In consequence. The holdings
Of our securities in speculative hands in

cline; but 1t should not be forgotten
that the present roseate conditions In

nitely. The stock market is now more

THE INTELLIGENcER.
WHEELING. JANUARY 8, 1900.


Now that all the Powers interested
In the case have agreed that the COM
mercial doors OF China shall be kept
open to all the world on equal terms,
the administration is to be congratu-
lated on the achievement which se-
cures to the United states great adj
vantages IN the way of trade with
that country. Some Of the European
powers were very reluctant to sign the
agreement, which is not to be wondered
at, when It is known that this country
Is invading their own home markets at
n remarkable rate. Besides, there was
a natural selfishness, which had to be
overcome. But there is one particular
strong reason for maintaining the open
door and the integrity Of the Chinese
empire which is applicable to all the
nations parties to the agreement. and
"that Is" says the New York Tribune,
P.that while no power wants to see any
other seize share Of China, no power
really wants to do so itself, beyond,
perhaps, IA port or two, or the line Of q
railroad, or a bit Of mining land. 1t
is simply inconcelvable that any out
side power should really want to as
sumo the task of occupying and gov
erning the chinese empire or any con-
siderable portion of IT. The task is too
vast. We do not say 1t could not be
done. Bur 1t would be job before
which EaEland's administration Of
India, ana Russla's of centrn asia
would dwindle into mere child's pay.
There could be no colonization; the
population Of the bulk Of China Is al
ready too dense; the gulf, political,
educational, social, and what not, be-
tween China and the rest Of the world
is too broad and deep to be closed up
in a year OF century. And for allen
garrisons, remaining alien and entirely
out Of touch with the native popula-
tIon, to overcome the tremendous force
Of Celestial inertia and to make the
teeming millions Obedlent to their will,
would be about as nearly impossible as
any proposition in government could
well be-"
