SAYS Democratic I'arty for The People To Go Into a Third l'arty Would lie to Ren der "Effort m jit Kei'orm Mt-ljiless and Fruitless. State Chronicle. The Chronicle has already stated that president Rogers, of the Florida State Alliance, opposes any third par ty. We quote from his address: lhe Alliance is non-partisan, but not non-political, for those who con stitute the membership have long been regarded as an important factor in politics; but now that the farmers have organized to educate themselves in scieuce of economic government and are finding out the cause of their oppression and asking for the needed relief, the money pawersand the polit ical task masters have become agita- o ted and a fear of dethronement creeps over their wakeful vision aud rises before them like Banquo's ghost. The loss of place and power are usually feared like the loss of a child. The Alliance, I said, was non-partisan, because a fanner, firm laborer, auy whits person of mature age, of moral habits and good character, whose chief interest is that farming, is eligible to membership in our or der, regardless of his religious or political inclinations, and it is not the purpose of the Alliance to abridge the right of any member in exercising the right of franchise of religious libeny. THE THIRD PARTY. A meeting of citizens from several States was held in Cincinnati on the 19th and :20th of last May aud a plat form of purposes was adopted which, among other things, including the Ocala Alliance platform. They designated themeelves "the People's party." By a careful study of the men who were leaders in that meeting it will be seen that many of them had been discarded by either the Demo cratic or Republican party. It is noted with regret that there are mem bers of the Alliance in several coun ties of this State who are in full sym pathy and hearty accord with "the third party movement" with regret, I say, because first, we are all sorry to see any diviaion in the ranks of the cider; second, because we regard the the Democratic party as the friend of the people: th.ird, because we be lieve that 00 per cent, of the rucm- bers of the Alliance in tnis State are Democrats and therefore have it large ly in their power to cleanse the Demo cratic party ot any imperfectious it may have and make it a party for the people; and, last but not least, if every mGmber of the Alliance in this State were to stand united in a third party they could not possibly electa State officer; hence their efforts would be hopeless and fruitless. My opinions, as expressed three years ago, are not yet changed in this matter I believe that it is the duty of every member of the Alliance to labor for "pqual rights to all and special favors to none," and, all oth er things being equal, to vote to nomi nate and place in office men whose in terests are identical with ours, and, when practicable, those who are iden tified and in sympathy with our or der. We do not consider this selfish in the Alliance, nor insistent toward other professions, when we remember that out 6f four hundred and seven teen members of the last Congress fourteen of the number were said to be engaged in nothing but farming; hence we see that over thirteen mil lions of farmers and farm laborers had fourteen representatives in Congress ! In sections of the country where the Republican party dominates let them elect men of either party who are identified with us, and, ninety-nine times out of a hundred a Republican will act with a democrat in the enact aetment of laws, when their interests are identical. We bave ouly to al lude to the free coinage of silver to prove this position. Democrats and Republicans of the West favor, and Democrats and Republicans of the East oppose We need no third party to accom - il Uli the needed reforms fot the re- lief of the agriculturists 01 this coun try.

A Connecticut Jury Refuse to Announce Their Decision Until Pay is Raised. Willim antic. Conn., Oct., 31. A remarkable exhibition Of thrift on ! the part of six jurymen was noted in j the trial of the case of Rood agt., Lockman before Justice of the Peace James T. Lynch in this place a few days ago. Rood sued Lockman to recover a small sum of money in pay ment for services he had rendertd to the defendant, and latter pleaded an "offset" from the amount of the bill, charging that Rood had "neglected his Lockman's interests," and on account of "various articls plaintiff had takan from Lockman,, while he was in the latter's, employ. Never theless, the trial dragged 3n for several days, and the legal contest ! was a hot one. Finally the evidence was all taken, counsel made long and elaborate argument, and late in evening Judge Lynch charged the jury. The jury took the papers in the case and retired into the jury room, but arere not there very long when the court officers bustled into the room and informed his Honor that the the jury had reached a verdict and refused to render it. 4 What's the matter with them?" inquired Judge Lynch. "Why won'l they render the verdict?" "Because," replied the officer solemnly, "they are afraid they won't get paid for their services." The officer was sent back to reason with the jurymen, but their reply was: "No pay no verdict." The trouble was, the foreman explained, that the case would certainly be appealed, and was like to drag along for four or five years before there was a final decision in it, and we don't propose to wait for our money," he added. Then Judge Lynch suggested to the. contestants that it. looked as though the money must raised if they wanted a verdict, whereupon they scurried about and got money enough to pay the jury, declaring that Lock man must pay Rood 71 44 and costs. It was a surprise to every one. Lock man at once appealed the case to the Superior Court. Progress in .Erial Navigation. Engineering Magazine. Man gazes at the birds and longs to imitate them. His success has been small; still, within the last d-cade, a balloon has bsen driven against a moderate wind, and a man is said to have flown a hundred yards near Paris, so that, as Prof. Langley says, the problem of ferial navigation is about to pass into the hands of the engin eers. It is an intricate and fascinat ing problem, and first attracted the poets and dreamers. It is onlr with in the last century that it has been takeu up by scientific investigators. Besides the men of science here and in Europe who arc investigating the natural laws of flight and of air resist- ances. there are now probably some scorcs of sane inventors, besides very many cranks, who are making experi ments in the same direction. These may be divided into two clashes the reronauts, who are seeking to drive hallcons thaough the air, and the avi ators, who hope to imitate the birds, and fly by purely dynamical means. One of the chief obstacles to suc cess has been the want of a motive power sufficiently light in proportion to its -energy to compare favorably with that of birds. All engines have hitherto from 65 ta 130 lbs. per horse power, including supplies for two hours; but Mr- Hiram S. Maxim, in ventor of the Maxim automatic gun, announces that he has constructed and tested two compound steam eDgines, weighing with their i steam generator only 9o0 lbs., capable of de veloping 300 horse-power, and al ready known to give 120 horse-power of useful effect upon an arial machine which he is constructing. Mr. Max im has nearly completed in England a flying-machine 110 feet across, and weighing 5,500 lbs., from which he expects 50 to 100 miles per hour. .Ml these hopes may fail ofvimmediate realization, but we are slowly drifting 1 towards a practical solution of the ! problem. In his recent speech at Salisbury , Congressman Henderson gav-e prorui uence to the fact that the appropria tions last year for pensions exceeded $103,000,000, and that the pension list was growing at tho rate of 25,000 per month, nearly a generation after j the war 100 new names were added to every 13 dropped, the increase beat in 2 the decrease 1 to 8. The Satires show that twice as mauy Federal sol diers have been pensioned as there were Confederates in the whole war. service during GENERAL NEWS. NEWSY ITEMS OF IXTERES1 TO OUR READERS.

Monmouth, 111., October 21. Five persons were killed aud fifty or sixty injured in a railroad wreck here at 1 o'clock morning on the Burlington road. Mr John Dillon, one of the most prominent Irish Home Rulers, trusts Mr. Gladstone, and says he does not believe Ireland would unite under Redmond. He believes in Gladstone's sincerity. But can Ireland afford to distrust or to break with the great English statesman? The game of some is to help defeat the Gladstouians. They will do a very bad thing for Ireland when they enter upon such work. To turn upon their loDg test ed friend would b base ingratitude so long as he showed a willingness to stand longer by Ireland. It would be most unwise-r as unwise as for the Democrats in North Carolina to divide and thu3 help to elect the Radicals. Rev. Dr. Arthur C. Dill, at Mor- ristown. N. J., had some enemies who had conspired against him to his in jury and undoing. He employed a literary and gifted detective to hunt them down and uncover their machi nations. This was done most success fully. The detective turned preacher aud preached three acceptable sermons to the Doctor's congregation. There was a plot to tar and feather the pas tor and to drive him in disgrace from the town. Several conspirators were successfully bagged, were indicled by the grand jury and four have made a confession. A government employee and a magistrate are implicated. Farmers, Farmers' Alliances and other rural organizations will be pro vided for in special building at the World's Fair. It is intended that the farmers shall have nothing of which to complain in regard to their reception andv treatment by the World's Fair management. They will be afforded quarters in the Live Stock Assembly Hall, plars for which have just been completed- The building will stand south of the colonnade connecting the Agricultural and Machinery Buildings in the south end of the park. On the first floor will be office-room for cattle and horse associations, dog and pet stock associations, and all remaining live-stock organizations. On the sec ond floor will be uu assembly ball 172 feet long and 74 font wide. Here the farmers will be given a chance to hold meetings. Special rooms are provid ed for the Farmers' Alliance, the Na tional Grange, and similar associa tions. I he entire structure has oeen I so pianned as to give the farmers and live-stock men generally ail they could ask in the way of accommoda tions at tho World's Fair.

The News and Observer of a recent date says-: A man apparently about 23 years old approached 03icer Mc Cullers, of the police force, and with tears in his eyes and frightened ex pression stated to the officer that he was lost. That he had never been in a city before in his life, that he had come with some friends and got sepa rated from them, and that he did not know what to do or where to go. The officer gave him such iuformation as he could to straighten him out and assist ed him to find his friends. This beats tb.e record. X Little Girl's Experience jn a Light house.

One saw the beatifnl in crimson cloud. And shining moon: Tho other, with his" head in sadness bowed, Made night of noon. One loved each tree and flower and sing ing bird On mount or plain; No music in the soul of one was stirred By leaf or rain. One saw the good in every fellow-man, Aud hoped the best; The other marvelled at his Master's plan, Aud doubt confessed. One, having heaven above and heaTenl below, Was satisfied: The other, discontented lived in woe. And hopeless died. Sarah K. Bolton, in Ronton Transn'pf A HOUSE'S MEMORY. How He Remembered An Old Ac- quaiutance After Ten Years. About nineteen years ago Dr. Walton bought a pair of chestnut sor rel horses for $500," said Tom Felts to the Nashville American man, "and after keeping them a short time he sold one of them for $150 to Mr. Teasly. I bought him from Mr. Teasly for 150, and for nine years that horse and I lived together nearly all the time. "Part of the time I lived in the country and one rainy night the loft of the stable with sixty-five barrels of corn in it, fell iu and pinned that horse down to the ground so that he could hardly move. I did not hear the crash, but I afterward found out it occurred about midnigh. Next morning I went out to the stable, and it nearly broke my heart to see the horse that I loved better than any body or anything in this world in such a fix He lay perfectly still, I thought he wns dead, and I couldn't help cryinjr. After awhile we cot out, and just know from the way he rubbed his nose against me that he knew how much I loved him, aud how I had suffered to see him pinned down to the ground that way with sixty five barrels of corn on top of him. "About ten years ago I sold the horse to Stirling Walker, and he promised not to sell him any more. But after he had kept him along time he traded him to a man up in Spring field, who afterward sold him at pub lic auction down here on the Square. A man named Griggs, in North Nash ville, bought him, and now -I'm go ing to tell you something funny. "Day before yesterday I was pass icg along Bucna Vista street when I saw a horse standing on the other side of the street. I wasn't thinking about anything in particular, and just walked on. First I knew that horse had crossed the street and was rub bing his nose against me. 'Twas my old horse, and he hadn't seen me in ten years. But he had remembered me.'' f A Story from Kockingliain.
