There has been no increase in Mr..
Windoms vote during the last five roll
calls; and his friends, SO far as we are in
formed, have not yet been able to dis
cover where any further increase is to
come from. The only hope Of his elec-
ton is based upon the expectation that
the fifty one members who are now vot-
ing for him will stick to the last; and
that, upon the solid bedrock of their un-
wayering fidelity, he can gradually re.
store the crumbled edifice Of his original
strength from the wreck of rival candi-
dacies. With the best possible wishes for
the success of this programme, the expert
ment has already gone far enough to
make it manifest that under existing
conditions it is doomed to failure. The
time has come when it is necessary to
speak plainly and to look the facts
squarely in the face. 1t is q fact, we'll
known in Mr.. Windom's camp, and in
political circles outside of it, that some
of the leaders of that stalwart column of
fifty-one, while protesting to believe
that by sticking together Mr.. Window g
election is assured, or rendered at least
probable, are secretly working in the
interest of another candidate, whom they
privately assure their friends, is sure to
be elected. They are using that appar-
emily solid column of fifty-one simply as
screen behind which they are quietly
making preparations to bring out their
other man, when they shall have secured
votes enough to ensure the success of
the enterprise. The Pioneer Press, for
one, declines to be the dupe of that
shallow game of deception. or to permit
the public to be deceived by it. No one
of Mr.. WINDOWS friends has probably
had the courage to tell him that if his
success was improbable even with the
utmost and most earnest efforts of his
fifty.one professed supporters, it is i'm
possible under these conditions. But
that is the plain fact of the matter, and
it cannot be realized and acted upon too
soon.
The election of Mr.. Window is by far
the most desirable result which could be
accomplished, if it could be brought
about. But if one section of Mr.. Win.
dom's professsd supporters have private
ly given 1t up as impossible and are Sc
cretly laboring to bring about the result
which they deem next best, it is time
for those who seriously disagree with
them on that matter to take open issue
with them on that now important and
apparently paramount question of the
next best man. It would be dangerous
and might be disastrous, to delay the
consideration of that question, in tn.
face of an organized movement to for
stall such deliberate consideration OF
its vast Importance deserves.

Officers Generally Want to Know who will

Washington, Jan. 25-The officers of
the army are in q continual state of
excitement with regard to the DISPOSE
ton OF the appointive places in the SER
vice. There has been just begun con-
test which promises to be one Of the most
famous aud bitter of the many which
have disturbed the social circles Of Wash
ington for years. It is all about the sue
cession to the office Of quartermaster
general. The matter has been kept in
the background as much rs possible. but
o great deal OF what is called "duiet
work" has been done with the intention
OF having the matter settled without
publicity. Gen. Ingalls, must retire next
July, and he desires to go out as major
general. A bill to retire him with this
rank was introduced few days ago. He
not only wants to retire with an incrense
OF pay, but he wants to dicate who

has involved the president, the secretary

was in flames from the first floor up, and
large portion of the lighter stock had
been removed. The bulk of the stock,
however, had been destroyed. It is
roughly estimated that their loss is from
$4,000 to $5O,0O6, and probably partly
covered by insurance. The building was
owned by Smith Bros, and is valued at
from $4,000 to $4,000, and is probably

According to a Washington special,
Judge Pettigrew, of the Utah commls-
sion, says the commission will go to Utah
in the early spring to prepare for the
August election. The information he
has is that the amendments now pending
in the senate to the Edmunds bill, Great
ing the Utah commission will be adopted
at this session. The most important of
these amendments is one which requires
q record of all marriages to be kept. The
polygamists say that they have such q
record now in their endowment house.
If there is record of this kind there, the
government has never been able to get
at it. and consequently has never been
able to convict Mormon of bigamy, al.
though guilty of that crime. Judge
Pettigrew says that the temper of
the Mormons seems to be at
present to give up their polit-
ical rights rather than give up their in.
stitutisn of polygamy. Very few poly.
jeamists registered at the last election
OF the $1,000 registered voters he does
not believe there are thirty.fve polyga.
mists. The polygamists did not regis
ter because the Mormon papers and
leaders desired to avoid conflict of any
kind and advised against registration
Judge Pettigrew expressed the opinion
that the evil of polygamy would gradual
ly cure itself. The young men who are
educated do not take kindly to it. Here.
tofore nine-tenths of the offices were
filed by polygamists. Under the Ed.
munds law this class is shut out. The
educated young men Of the Mormons dc
not like this condition of affairs. They
prefer the offices to polygamy. Judge
Pettigrew says that the next election will
test the efficacy of the Edmunds plan.

o'clock this morning destructive fire
broke out in the basement of Albert, Nc.

1915, Douglas street, in Caldwell block.
1t was discovered by Capt. Frank D.
Kent. who in passing the building,
heard an explosion in the basement, and
the next moment volumes of smoke
puffed up through the sidewalk gratines,
almost instantly followed by flames. He
at once yelled "fire'' as loudly as possi-
BILE, and Policeman Walker turned in:the
alarm from box IL, which, however,
failed to strike more than one tap of the
bell. Meantime. however, Capt. Kent's
alarm had been taken up by others, who
started for engine house No. 3. Among
those who heard his calls were the en-
ployes of the Republican Office, and Mr..
Kelley, the foreman of the news room,
promptly turned in an alarm by tele-
phone, which was promptly responed to
by hose company No. and the hooks,
who were soon reinforced by hose COM
panies Nos. ! and2.
1. The fire was very rapid one, and by
the time No. 8 got on stream, which
was done in remarkably quick time, the
whole interior of the basement and first
and second stories were in flames. Other
streams were soon turned on, and at first
it seemed as if the firemen would get the
mastery Of the situation. But their con-
troll only lasted few moments, for the
flames loomed up again with renewed
energy, acting as if they had merely
taken o rest to recuperate their force.
In few minutes it was observed that
the fire had got through the east wall
and into the second story of Wirth's
restaurant, and it was feared that Mr..
Wirth and his family were not aware of
the fire and were being smothered and
burned, as they occupy the upper por-
tion OF the building as residence. The
front doors of the restaurant were found
looked, although all the lights were
burning bailliantly inside. No response
coming to the repeated and vigorous
knocks and kicks, the doors were broken
in; and parties started upstairs to alarm
the inmates and rescue them If necessary,
but Just at this point it was learned that
the entire family and help had heard the
frt alarm, and, looking the front doors,
had quietly retreated out the back way,
The building, three story brick,
TWENTY-FIVE feet wide and one hundred
deep, was also rendered almost total
loss. It was worth probably $40 900, and
belonged to the Smith Bros. The fire
CONTINUED to devour what remained in
the building. and at the same time it pro.
oeeded to clean out the building on the
west, occupied by Wirth. His entire
stock Of provisions, his fixtures and
household goods, valued at several thou
sand dollars, were destroyed. He was

SINGULAR DREAMS.-A little girl
of nine years old, who visited some
of her friends in Clayton, Alabama,
awhile back, had a dream on last
Thursday night that she had witness
ed a great fire in Clayton, and had
seen the people running hitber and
tbither in excitement. She told her
dream at the breakfast table next
morning, and strange to tell, her
dream was literally verified on FRI
day night. Was this merely coinci>
dent, presentment, or what Gen
Gordon, of Abbeville, once had a
similar dream, only little more re-
markable. He was travelling on the
cars at night aud dropped off asleep
when he dreamed that a large
amount of cotton he owned in Apa,
Iachicola was being burned, and that
it was burning his face The pain
he felt was 90 severe that he awoke.
In few days after be got news Of
the burning of the cotton at the very
hour of bis dream in the railroad
car. Such dreams or presentments
are psychological mysteries that the
wisest of men have never been able
to solve. - Eufaula Bulletin.
