There Is one question which has given the Third party organs consid erable trouble, because it must be handled with a good deal of caution. This is the plank, or "resolution," as they call it, favoring paying: Union soklierslhe difference between green backs and gold at the time when they were tid. This would help themin( the West, where there were and still are a id miny ex-soldiers, but it would 'mrt them in the South where there are few, if any, and conse quently, they have to play it fine one way hi one section and another way in another section. , There are r two organs pf the third party in Washington, the National Watchman, and the Na tional Economist, which calls itself an Alliance paper, but which is, under cover of the Alliance, an out-and-out third party organ. A couple of weeks after the St. Louis conference was held and they began to bear from the South on the soldier plank adopted in the platform, they concluded they had better crawfish on that, and the result was a hasty conference. The plank was yanked out of the plat form and elaborate explanations entered lrjto to show how icgot there. These explanations were intended for the South, The Southern third party organ- took their cue from the Economist and denied tiat the soldier plank was a part of the platform. The Economist dodger declared that it wasn't a plank at all, but simoly a "resolution,',' introduced by General Weaver to express the "sentiment of the conference for the Union sol diers," but it was merely a sentimen tal resolution and' meant nothing more, no cashing up for back dues nor anything of that sort. ' This was intended for circulation in the South, while the organs on the other side emphatically declared that it was in the platform and ' meant business and justice to the defrauded soldier. .- Remember in this connection that this so-La!l-d "resolution", was intro duced by General Weaver,who when a member of Congress in three different sessions introduced his bill to carry out the "sentiment" contained in that resolution, which bill directed that the sum of $300,000,000 in treasury notes be issued. for that purpose. It was evidently not a question of mere "sentiment", with him. But the Economist declared that it was a mere ; sentiment and did not bind the party to do anything. The other .yrgdii, the National Watchman, has been throwing some light on that disturbing question, . and In re ply to an inquiry presumably from the West, discourses in the last issue as follows:-' . i ; 'j "Tnere has been an inquiry in regard to the soldier plank in the Omaha plat form. There is nothing in the platform in regard to either soldiers or pensions, but trie following is a resolution Dassed by the convention . which covers that point : "Resolved, That we pledge our support to iair and liberal pensions to ex-Union soldiers and sailors." ,'Thisvis an honest, manly declaration upon that subject and should meet the approval of all. . This "should meet the approval of all." Exactly, Here are two or . gans, both with the prefix National to their names, both published" at the capital and both recognized as exponents of the third party prin ciples and platform. , One' declares that the resolution was a mere bit of sentimentalism which really meant i nothing, a mere bit of taffy to please the soldier and get his vote, a little innocent, harmless fraud, which, said something but didn't mean anything; the other explains that although it is lot in the platform" a substitute passed the Omaha convention which covers the point and '.'should meet the approval of all." What should meet the approval of all? he resolution quoted. Taken by tself this might not mean much, but ken as a substitute for the soldier P'ank in the St. : Louis platform it means a good deal. Thev did not have the- nerve; to Incorporate that Plank in the Omaha platform after they saw the effect it had in the South, and consequently they went as far as thev dared to iro on that illQe, and pledged themselves to "fair and liberal pensions" on top of the vf . """iwramarily "liberal pensions the ex-soldjers, and thousands who "ere not soldiers at' all, are now getting. This "should meet the ap Froval of all." the orean thinks. VOL. XXIII. of at 'least the soldier" element, but why it should meet tb approval of Third party people ot the South, whose people are now paying' $35,- 000,000 a year in pension tribute, we fail to see, and we doubt very much whether it will meet their approval, ... - . I" even witn the endorsement or mis artful dodger. ' . A considerable number of sub scribers to the Weekly Star have recently changed their subscriptions I to the Daily-Star. - This is a capital idea in all cases where the, paper will reach subscri bers three times , or oftener every week.

The third party in North Carolina was started ostensibly in the interest of the farmer,- to correct abuses from which the farmer has suffered and to introduce "reforms" which the farmer demands. They were told by the model -farmers, those horny-handed sons of toil, who are .now leading them and sympathize so deeply with them that the only hope of relief for them was in breaking away from the Democratic party and flocking to the Weaver and Field standard and elect ing a' lot ofmen that no -one had ever heard of outside of their own imme diate neighborhood to take charge of the State Government of North Car olina. ;.'''f " - .':'" r- !'' ".' i A good many honest, well mean ing, but credulous tarmers trusted these mouthing deceivers and be lieved that the way they pointed out was the : way to remove the griev ances and to secure trie desired re forms; but they never asked what in terest these gentlemen had in the far mer,- nor asked wnetner tney were farmers, or only belong to that class of sympathetic toilers who toil with their tongues, an their jaws, and perspire in fine linen while they pathetically declaim over the wrongs of the oppressed farmer who toils hard, early and late, . eats the bread of toil and sleeps the sleep of the weary. ; i One would naturally think that a party claiming to represent, defend and advance the interests of the farmers and other toilers, but espe cially of the farmers, would be led by farmers or toilers, but as far as we know there is not one of these self- constituted leaders who can truth fully claim to be a real representa- ve of either, borne of them may be interested in farming in a small way, but if so it is a mere incidental pursuit, entirely subordinate to poli tics and other things." Just now'they are cultivating: the political neia from which they expect to reap the crop that pays best. : - Let us take a glance at some ot these .model farmers who are tearing their hair, rending' their linen and losing their rest at night because pf the hard times their brother farmers are having. First comes Gen. Jas. B. Weaver, who has been cultivating, not corn but politics for the past twenty-five years, and the worst kind of politics, ex-soldier, ex-lawyer, ex-editor ex- Republican, ex-Greenbacker, ex-la bor roan. The, only thing he has ever stuck to right alone was the cultivation of politics. But he be heved in rotation and for that reason he never stuck to any one crop of politics long. Just now he is sowing ing third party seed which he expects to reap m November, and in the meantime is "supplying his brother third party farmers with his work on political agriculture for $1.50 a vol ume. They will find .some vo lutmnous if not luminous in formation in that ' book and if they don't find out what's the matter with .'em for a dollar and a half it will not be- Gen. Weaver's fault. "y- . ir v",. Next "comes Quartermaster Gen eral Tames G. Field, from Virginia, ex-Confederate quartermaster, ex lawyer, ex-Democratic politician, and the owner of a little farm - where he was resting in his old age before his sympathy for his suffering . fellow farmers drove him from his quiet se clusion to fall in line behind farmer Weaver and exclaim and ; gesticulate for "reform" and prophesy an over whelming victory for himself and the farmer from Iowa Then come statesmen Peffer, Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lease, et al., who have done considerable stumping, though they never, pulled many stiimns. and Dr. Macune, now of Washington, formerly of Ohio, by way of Texas, where he succeeded in convincing the farmers that . they w,r vprvmnrh in need of someW " -w j : - . lucjr uiuu umv, wV 0 - -- they didn't do as he told them, the way to which they would find out by reading his luminous paper, which nrnnM rnst them onlv -one dollar a year, postage paid. " .' 1 And then comes Hon. Tom Wat son, the "educator"" from" Georgia, ex-lawyer, ex-Democrat, who sold his law books so he could say he wasn't a lawyer, and thus crawl into E which he ' did. This nimble acro- bat, who can balance "himself on" a single plank and "stand on any platform," is now beating the air in Georgia, shedding tears over the dis tressed condition of the. farmers, and also selling them consolation in his campaign book at the price of one dollar a copy, postage paid on'receipt of money. - 's - These are some of the Third party engineer reformers who are going to bring the farmers out of the wilder ness. ' ' i - K But to come nearer home, we have Marion Butler, editor and perambu- i lating organizer and ". orator, who don't know exactly what he is, what he believes or on which side of the fence he is until the "majority"moves, and then he trots along, catches ' up withthe procession and wedges iatill he gets' at the head of the column and shouts aloud to let " the procession know he is in it. " And Col. Harry Skinner.ditto.They both thought they were Democrats ontrt a few weeks-1 ago, wbea: they made, the discovery that they were not and that they were . not as well acquainted with themselves , as they thought they were. : ' There is Dr. Exum whose politics is ot that peculiar stripe that he would "prefer negro rule to the rule we have had betetofore," and Cobb or Kolb (for it is phnted both ways,) ex-re venue officer and ex-Republi can; Long, ex-merchant, ex-railroad agent, ex -Republican post officer de tective; r Durham,'" tooth extractor and repairer,, of.r doubtful politics; Worth, ex-Fish Commissioner, poli tics somewhat variegated; Lyons. presumably lawyer as he has been nominated for Attorney General; Woody, who tried to get the Prohi bition nomination and failing in that went for the other; Malone, who has been a Democrat, Independent- and Republican all in turn. Here is the squad of deliverers who are to lead the farmers up to the mountain top- where the sunshine of prosperity will fall full upon them in endless,- dazzling, ravishing . glory. Won't it, though.

Assistant Secre tary Spaulding of the Treasury Depart ment, and Dr, Wymari, Surgeon General ot the Marine hospital service, met the fresident and members ol his Cabinet at a conference at 11 o'clock this morning. After an hour s deliberation, it was de cided not to issue a proclamation at this time, but to issue a special .circular in stead, which will soon be made public. The circular will, said Secretary Foster this afternoon, amount practically to twenty days quarantine of vessels, or a longer detention if necessary. ' It will be coupled, however, it is understood, with a provision that it will be enforced where it is not in contravention ot State lawsi The issuance of the circular may be de- layea somewnat, owing to the desire ot the Treasury Department to publish at the same timejan opinion ot the Attor ney General bearing on the question of certain-rights of the Government in the matter, which it is thought should ac company the circular. v While nothing definite can be stated a3 to the President's return to Loon Lake. it is highly probable that a start will be made to-morrow (Friday) afternoon. and it is altogether-likely that the con templated .detour to Ogdenburg and other points in Northern New York will be postponed until bis final return trip. His purpose now is to return to Loon Lake by way of Plattsburg, without making any stops. The President's let ter of acceptance will not, it is stated. be read in public to-day. Mrs. Harri sons general health, it is'said, continues to improve, but the neryous affection with which she has suffered during the last several months, shows a discourag ing presistence. It is not thought" that it will be prudent for her to resume her social duties during the coming season, and her place no doubt will be tempora rily filled by other ladies of the Presi dent s household. . , v The circular which was later issued by direction of the President, is as fol lows : .

Supposing a man was-seen in the chamber of Mrs. Borden the guest chamber of death and that he was in the room of the father - when death came: suppose that man should tell as many : different stories as Lizzie has done the way would be plain.

The people of this city and vicinity were startled this morning by . a deafening roar that was subsequently ascertained to have been caused by a gunpowder explosion. The new barque, Auck Mountain, with twen ty tons of gnnpowder on board, had been lying at anchor in the Firth of Clyde, off Greenock. Those persons wto were looking in; the direction of the barque say they saw a. blinding Bash ot light. followed by a concussion that shook the earth. Then a dense smoke arose and when it lifted a little it was seen that the barque was blown to pieces. . Her poop deck, batches and deck .,. houses were blown to an immense height, while her masts were broken off and fell alongside the wreck. " Topgallant and forecastle was blown; out, and while the forward oart of the .vesseJLwailorn to .pieces, aft the destruction was just about as com plete. -.. I 1 be long boat, which was lying up turned on top of the galley, was caught up and went sailing through the air at a far greater) rate of speed than it had ever oeen propeiiea tnrougn tne water. Aoove the water line the planking was blown out, leaving nuge noies, while below many of the butts were started and water passed in )n torrents. On shore the ef fects ot the explosion were extensive. Windows of houses and shops along the water tront were shattered, and some ot the older houses swayed to and fro as if moved by an- earthquake. Many win dows were broken farther up in the city. and for a little time there was consider able excitement, not to say alarm, but it quickly subsided when the cause of the commotion became known. The most peculiar feature ot the accident is that nobody aboard of the bark Was killed, Some of the crews were badly burned, and some were thrown into the water. but none lost.
