LAST NIGHTS BLAZE.
The Residence Of Mr.. w. d. Dupree
destroyed by fire.

About 1:15 o'clock last night Mr..
w. E. Dupree who resides ut his
home No. 10, South Fourth street
was aroused from his. peaceful slum-
bers to discover his house enveloped
in flames. He robed himselfas quick
ly as possible and with the assistance
of several men in the neighborhood
endeavored to check the confagration
but the fire had gained too much
Roadway for their management. The
alarm was given as quickly as posi-
BILE and as usual the gallant fire boys
responded Immediately. TIL, house
being frame structure by the time
the fire company reached the scence
was beyond control, although the no.
BILE men worked like Trojans 1t was
impossible for them to save the house.
Their good work was effective, how
ever, in combining the flames and pre-
venting the fire from spreading. In
this vicinity there are numerous
frame buildings in close proximity to
the burning house these would nave
necessarily beef consumed had not
the firelnen rendered such valuable
assistance. Mr.. Dupree managed to
save his two fine horses which were
in the stable in rear Of his house.
The animals, as is generally the case,
were hard to control, being almost
wild with fright. The piano and q
portion Of the psrlor furniture were
saved, but are damaged to some ex-
tent. Mr.. Dupree says he does not
know exactly how the fire originated
but thinks probably 1t was caused by
the explosion of q kerosene lamp,
which was burning low when he re-
tired. -s-s,-.ss
Insurance on entire property is
"a ,525, in the Royal Co. of Liverpool,
Rogers & Sturgls agency. 1t cannot
be ascertained at present whether the
insurance will cover the loss. Mr..
Dupree requested the News to extend
to the fire company his sincere thanks
and hearty appreciation for their gal
liant work.

SOMETHING ABOUT NEWSPAPERS.

Messrs. Editors "A large proportion of people
do nothing to support their local papers, yet
reaping the benefit every day of the editors
work. man will say, advertising does not
pay in business; get my customers by going
after them" And yet the fact is, that the town
in which he does business would be unknown,
the railroad over which he ships his goods would
be unbuilt if it were not for the newspaper which
he SAYS does him no good. The local paper is of
advantage to every man in its community and
when a man refuses to contribute to the support
of paper on the ground that it "does him no
good" he might just as well refuse to pay his
taxes for the support of the courts and police
force on the ground that he never breaks the law
and don't need any officers. There are men who
believe themselves to be honest and pious who
are doing business in this community and every
day appropriating to their the fruits of other
mems fabors by reaping the benefits of the news
paper without contributing cent to its support,
and yet they would be terribly shocked if they
should be charged with stealing wood from their
neighbors. But the principle is just the same,
the only difference being that in one case the
law can reach them and in the other it cannot
But morally it is just as dishonest to steal the
fruits of your neighbours enterprise as to steal
his fuel and chickens Too much credit cannot
be given the weekly paper for the work it has
done and is still doing for the benefit of this
country. u

The President of the Whole People.

Lancaster (Iid) AeW Era.
General Harrison is the President-eect, and
by the grace of Providence will be the next
President of this great nation. 1t is to his
credit that during all the bitterness of hotly
contested political struggle the breath of calum-
ny has not tainted the purity of his character.
His public and private reputation is the nation S
pride He is not only blameless and cultured
citizen, but statesman of national reputation
and most gallant soldier There is every rea-
son to hope he will maintain the same high
plane of personal integrity and courage which
has heretofore characterized all his actions in
public and private life. There is every reason
to believe that in the higher sphere to which
he has been called he will be the President OF
all the people and not the leader of factions
The judgment of the whole people has pro
nounced in his favor. He is entitled to their
earnest and hearty support. Let them lend
every encouragement to his public career when
it shows, as we know it will, an honest DISPOSE
ton to do his full duty He is the President
of the whole people. Let them give him theil
most hearty support

A CHANCE TO REDUCE EXPENSES.

Messrs Editors AS reduction in county ex-
penses is a matter at present under considera-
ton, could not great saving be made in election
expenses and still leave quite a liberal remuner-
alton to those serving as judges and clerks Five
of a room for one day, and any patriotic citizen
should 1 would think, be willing to serve his
fellow-citiZens for one day for 50, even though
a reduction of nearly fifty per cent. in each pre-
cinct and in districts where there are but two
precincts another could be located and not as
much expense be incurred by the county as the
two cost at present. This, at least, is one item
that ought to have consideration.

THE DEMOCRATIC newspapers which propose
to relieve General Harrison of the trouble OF
running his own administration are busily en-
gagged in making Cabinets for him, but they
find great trouble in disposing of Mr.. Blaine.
Some have already made him Secretary of
State, some have appointed him Minister to
England and some have even gone so far as to
say that he will be the President and the real
President only a figure-head. Now nobody
but a fool would talk like this. Mr.. Blaine, by
reason of his brilliant craftsmanship, would
honor any position to which President Har-
rison might see fit to call him, but it is very
doubtful if he would accept any office from
the new administration. Indeed it has been
already said that he would ask nothing at
the hands of the President and that he has
already prepared letter to that effect. But
whether this be so or not, General Harrison is
not the man to be controlled by any one He
is man of nerve and determination and his
chief aim will be to give the country conser-
vatiye and clean administration. This is what
the people want and he will not disappoint
them.

THE WASHINGTON correspondent of the Bal
timere San says: "All the probabilities are that
the administration of Mr.. Harrison will be of
conservative character, and that the Cabinet
which he will construct will be composed of
some of the ablest and most experienced MEM
bers of his party. Undoubtedly there will be ire
mendous pressure upon him to make rapid and
sweeping changes in office, but those who best
know the bent of his mind think there will be
no undue haste in this matter" We hope and
believe that this is true. The chiefaim of Cen
eral Harrison will be to do the best he can for
theinterests of thepeople, irrespective of party.
Although elected by the Republican party he
will be the President of the whole people who
will look up to him with the confident feeling
that he is an honest man and patriot who
will serve his country in the future as he has
in the past, to be the best of his ability.
