Preparing to steal.

The Republicans have hit upoa q
plan by which they propose to steal
two-thirds Of the Electoral vote Of the

Strikes are reported from the Penn
sylyania, Ohio and some parts of the
West Virginia coal regions; no seri-
GUS trouble has resulted anywhere as
yet, but may be before the end is
reached. One strange thing about
strikes is that they nearly always
take place when the workmen are
poorest prepared for them, frequently
in midwinter. No sensible man
questions the right Of laborer to
demand higher wages if he chooses,
but the employer has some rights
too, and he can comply with the de-
mand or let it alone, and here the
matter ought 10 end.

Great anxiety prevails in Chicago,
Cincinnati and other places in the
North and West, on the subject Of
ice. There is every prospect of an
ice famine, as the papers call it, in
this country next summer. On the
18th of January there was not a
pound of ice available for cutting
within 200 miles of Chicago. This
is unprecedented in the history Of
this country, and We are now on the
down grads Of winter with little
hopes on this question for the future.
When other places fail, Green Bay
has generally supplied the ice de-
mand, but there is no ice there this
year We who live in country pla-
ces, with good wells and springs can
get along we'll without it, but in the
large cities and great thoroughfares
where people have TO drink river
water, it is hard to do without ice.

Put them on 4 Gold Basis.

Pursuant to notice published in
this paper, a large number Of ex-
soldiers and sailors assembled in
public meeting at the Court House
Monday afternoon to take action up
on the Weaver Bill now pending in
Congress, to bring the soldiers pay
up to a gold basis. We are glad to
see them SO much interested in this
Bill, and that they have taken steps
to petition Congress to pass the said
Bill. The object of the Bill is the
equalization Of pay, or in other
words, to pay the soldiers of the late
war, the difference between green
backs and gold, at the time they
we're paid of, with interest from
that time until paid. This Bill is
just and the principle right, and the
government should pay its soldiers
dollar for dollar, after it has received
their services. Soldiers from all
parts of our country are sending up
their petitions to Congress urging
the passage Of the Bill. We are
glad to see that the soldiers Of West
Virginia are doinglfkewise.
Let the government deal justly
with her soldiers, no matter what
it costs, for to them she owes debt
that can never be paid in dollars
and cents.
The proceedings Of the ex-soldiers
meeting will be found in this paper.

WEST RANDoLPH.-About l o'clock on
Thanksgiving day morning destructive
hre broke out in the large furniture factory
OF F. b. Salisbury. The alarm was given.
but before anything could be done the
flames were sweeping over and throu oh
he whole building. This was done al
most instantly. as the rooms were all
scattered with dry shavings and prepared
lumber, and everything seemed favorable
to induce the flames onward at yerv
rapid speed, and all human efforts to save
this large structure seemed at once impos-
slble. In short time a large number of
people were on the scene, the fire compa-
ny was promptly on hand. but was unable
to work their engine for want of water :;
therefore their energies, with the help of
many citizens, were turned to saving the
contents of the large wooden building
near the railroad, which Mr.. Salisbury
had used as II storehouse. This was well
filled with furniture ready for shipment,
which was mostly saved by being carried
out upon the flat across the railroad. Che
lire was carried from the main building to
the storehouse by dry bridge running
between the two. Efforts were made to
cut away the bridge, but in vain. Tue
fire reached the storehouse before il was
entirely cleared of goods, and four men
one of whom was Albert Salsbury-were
in the attic when the flames and smoke
burst in at both ends of the room. They
had very narrow escape-had hardly
more than reached the ground when the
building fell to the ground. Several
| smaller buildings and sheds were burned
with a large lot of wood and lumber. A
telegraph pole near the storehouse took
fire and burned nearly half off, but was
put out with snow balls. The buildings
of William Burroughs, under the bank, 4
little north of he factory, took fire, but
was extingushed by prompt attention and
bat little damage was DONE The first
thing that alarmed any one was a noise
similar to that of Il heavy cannon, or an
| explosion, and this was accompanied by
quite heavy shock, jarring several
houses. People hearing this got up, and
seeing the factory on fire, thought, OF
course. the boiler had burst, but AS soon
as an examination could be made the
| boiler was found all right, and now some
think it must have been set on fire by the
meteor that night. They think there is no
other way to account for the explosion A
lot of help and two or three teams were
engaged next day carrying the saved furni
ture TO the store on Merchants Row. This
is very sad affair in the financial pros
poets of Mr.. Salisbury. He was just
getting where he could run his business or
fair and pre- fitable basis, and was tc
have commenced to run his factory on full
time the first of this month. He employed
large number of men, many of whom
depended upon their work in his employ
for the support of their families. In fact,
it throws many really needy men out of
employment, and, it seems, at the most
untavorable season of the year. At this
| writing we have not learned fully about
