School House Burned.

On Monday evening of this week,
about 3 o'clock, the school house at
Pleasant Hill, Grant district, was
discovered to be on fire, but the
flames had made such progress when
discovered, that it was impossible to
extinguish them. Miss Izura Gale
was teaching the school, but there
Was very little fire in the stove dur
ing the day, and our informant stat
ed that the fire in the stove was al
most If not entirely extinguished be-
fore the house was locked after the
closing of the school, All sorts of
reports are a6oat concerning the fire;
some claiming that it was the work
of an incendiary. There was con
siderable trouble in the school dur
ing the winter, and threats of tear
ing down the house, made several
weeks ago, show the feeling of one
element of the people; the readiness
to censure the opposing element now,
shows still further that the feeling
of the patrons of the school district
were very unpleasant, and calculated
to lead to bad results.
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that
the house is burned, and owing to
the suspicion and censuring about
the fire, we think the Board of Edu-
cation of Grant district should take
especial pains to investigate the
matter, and see if the censuring and
suspicion have foundation. The fire
was seen from this place, and those
acquainted with the county predict
ed that it was the residence of Solo
mon Walls, which is very near the
direction of the school house.

Senator Camden has struck the
key note to the wants of West Vir-
ginia in his amendment to the Cul-
lon Interstate Commerce bill. Our
special dispatch outlines the purport
of the amendment, and we trust Con-
grcss will see the enormity of this
discrimination against States near
the seaboard as Senator Camden
sees it, and promptly correct the in
Justice. That railroad should haul
freight thousand miles for less
than five hundred mile haul has
done more to injure the State of
West Virginia than all other causes
combined. Stockmen, farmers, mer-
chants and manufacturers have been
ruined in certain localities by this
discrimination, and until it is recti-
fed, little financial prosperity can
attend the efforts of our people to
compete with the outside world

All Reports Agree That The
President Will Marry
Miss Folsom.

WASHINGTON, April 17,-President
Cleveland's approaching marriage
is now regarded as a certainty All
his friends agree that he would have
been very prompt to deny the story
of his marriage, coming in as positive
a form as it has in the last week or
ten days, if he had not fully made
up his mind on the subject. He has
kept the secret very well from even
his most intimate associates. 1t is
understood that the engagement
took place during Miss Folsom's
last visit to Washington. If Mr..
Cleveland is married at the White
House in June it will be the second
marriage of President during his
term of office. Mr. Tyler was mar
ried while he was President, but his
marriage took place in New York.
There have been number of mar
riages at the White House of men,
bers of the Presidents family. The
last marriage was that of Nellie
Grant and Mr.. Sartoris. 1t is under
stood that the coming wedding will
be quiet one, if it takes place in
June, as the members of Mr.. Cleve
lands family in New York seem to
think it will. The President is very
averse to personal parades.
1t is expected that his clergyman
brother will be brought here to per-
form the marriage ceremony, and
that it will be private. If the Presi
dent should invite any of his official
associates he would have to invite
them all, and this would give his
wedding the official character of
parade reception of the winter. 1t
cannot be said that Washington So
ciety is very much moved over the
Presidents marriage. He has very
little sympathy with the social peo-
pie here, and as he does not go out
much they have become in meas
ure Indifferent to what he does
They are glad, however, that he is
going to marry, because it is always
pleasanter to have the wife of Pres
ident to preside at the White House.
Miss Folsom has not spent much
time here and is unknown to the
majority of people who move in so
ciety. 1t is probable that the Presi-
dent will go away for some time af-
ter his marriage. He has had a
number of invitations to visit East
ern watering places. 1t is hardly
probable that he will go to the Adj
rondacks.
The best portrait of Miss Folsom
now in Washington is large one
which hangs in the Presidents bed
room. Miss Folsom was very averst
to giving a sitting to the photograph
ers when she was here and has 4
great horror of publicity. Wher
she was in Washington last mum
Der of paragraphs were printed
about her school life, which sh'
traced to one or two Of her schoo
friends. She quarreled with then
for it. 1t is said that she went ava,
to Europe so as to be out of thu
range of possible gossip and crili
cism during the engagements period
1t is said that Miss Folsom expcctet
the engagement would becom,
known, MS the fact was known to thu
Cleveland family in New York sool
after her departure from Washing
ton from her lssts.is;t to the Whit
House,

Figures From the Books.

An examination into the condition
of the Treasury of West Virginia, as
shown by the books Of the Auditor
and Treasurer, indicates the contin-
ued and growing prosperity of the
States financial affairs. The first
year of Governor Wilson's admins
tration has given reason for rejoicing
on the part Of all lovers of good, eco
nomical and business like methods
in government.
The receipts into the State Treas
ury for the quarter commencing on
the LIST day of January, 1883, were
the greatest in the history of the
State up to that date, and have only
been exceeded by the receipts for
the quarter commencing January
l, 1856. The monthly receipts for
these quarters respectively are given
below:

A good deal of speculation is in
.dulged as to the towns present
sources of revenue. 1t is said that
we are producing nothing and yet
we are buying good deal.
The chief source of income to the
town has been, for some years past,
the money spent by the State, and
by the body of students attending
the University, in connection with
that institution. This makes an in
come to the town of not less than
fifty thousand dollars per year.
Outside of this little money
comes in for the immense quantity
of timber that has gone and is going
out. A little comes from the cattle
that is exported. A very little comes
by travel. All these sources would
seem to be insufficient to offset the
continual drain on the towns in
come, and that is probably true.
We would better begin to produce
something or go out of business.
II He Honest? IL He Capable ?
We want first class representa-
tive to 90 from Monongalia to the
next Legislature.
The man who stands in that place
must stand alone. Monongalia has
but one representative in the House.
He ought to be a first class man;
a man devoted to the interests of the
the county; man of intelligence,
experience, patriotism, and who pos
scsses the confidence of the whole
people. 1t will not do to send a
mere fgure-head. Better let the
county go unrepresented. If there
is no representative of the county
there, other members will feel some
interest in protecting and furthering
our local concerns; bat if we have
a man there he will be expected to
take care of us, and if he has not the
capacity we will be held respOns-
ible for that.
Now that number of aspirante
are beginning to trim their sails fol
this position, we think it meet that
the people should consider the situa.
ton IS suggested above, and apply
the test Of fitness to every man who
offers for the place, whether be bt
Democrat or Republican. 1t will
not answer for ability and expert
cnce that man is a good Democrat
or good Republican. When he gets
into the Legislature he will fine
other qualifications essential to his
standing and usefulness.

been improved on: us he honest; il
