Kndome i?; but lNmo< m?e Ufi>/?n Mut l'?y More At * tantl** to AUIum D?ni*ndi>?Tho m?t Uru( Candidates Munt hv Considered. Okanobbuhu, S. Ci June 26.? Ever since the thlr<l party was promul i(aled there has been a certain amount of curiosity thoughout the state and elsewhere as to how Dr. T. W. Stokes, president of the South Carolina State Alliance, stood on the matter. This curiosity has amounted to anx iety and every once and a while some ono of the stato's weekly journals comes out with the great question of the hour: "How does the president of the Alliance stand on the third party question?" To satisfy theso papers and the public generally, your correspondent visited President Blokes at his office yesterday . and asked his views concerning the third, or people's party. Dr. Stokes scorned perfectly willing for a chat, and what he bad to say I give as follows: "It does seem that our newspaper friends will get i.ervou8 every once in a while, and then thoy try to make others nervous aud clamor for somebody's viows on this or that question. I have frequently expressed my views upon cognate questions, and 1 have quite re cently been in print upon the specific quest i. n of Alliance relation to the new party, so that our inqulstors are respon sible for the repetition. "First, then, as to the 'action of the Cincinnati conference.' As we under stand the proceedings of that body, it did not erect itself into a separate party. Indeed, ono plank in its declaration of purposes explicitly sets forth a refusal to erect a party until the results of cer tain other conferences to meet in '92 are ascertained. "Mill, its avowed purpose is to as sume diBlinct purty existence, unless satisfactory concessions aro made before the campaign of '02 opens. "Its platform hugs the lines of A Hi unco demands very close; and hence good Alllauce men must regard it as a good platform to fight on if a separate tight is determined upon next year, Whether they elect to fight on it or not. "2. As to the attitude of the Southern Alliance towards the now party,?if it become a party. It is assumed that the question has exclusive rcteronce to na tional issues; tor why should any new party bo recognized in local and state politics at the South? Surely the farmer has the remedy for local abuses here, if any exist, in his own hands. He knows this, and ho is reasonably content with Iiis local affairs: his principal complaints relate to a national legislation, and his demands aro addressed to national par ties. "t)nce. again, then, let us repeat that the Alliance will never assume any at titude toward the now party, any moro than it has or will toward the old par ties. Its constitution does not admit o its assuming an attitude toward any par ty whatever; and it would bo bad policy it the constitution allowed. Its function is purely educational. It seeks to ar rive at and promulgate economic truth; and then leave tho'conscience (political as well a<? religious) of the, membership frco to express Itself In its own way. "As a matter of course, since the platform of tho proposed new party con curs so closely with tho conclusions al ready reached by tho Alliance, Its claims upon tho individual conscience ol Alli ance men must needs challenge careful consideration. If the old parties turn their backs upon tho demands of this long Buffering class of people, if only in coldness, tho caso will assume great gravity. If, however, as now soems de plorably prevalent, the Democratic press and leaders, not only turn in cold ness?but, refusing to Jlsten with pa tience, inlolc'.-vmffy attempt to read out of the early all who are slow to accept their '^logma as to men and measures, tlujsAuiation will assume tho proportions -^ofpollticai tragedy.._, "This is no moro alarmist utterance. An opinion of existing conditions is asked; and a frank, honest judgment, if any, should bo given. And our deliber ate judgment is that it the current intol erant expressions of Democratic leaders and papers fairly represent the spirit that will dominate tbe party, the party must calculate upon losing a goodly number of its hitherto sturdy adherents?bear in mind tho national party is referred to. "Tho Alliance masses honestly think 11 u't tho Alliance demands aro more democratic than the Doraocratic party management is at present; but they are willing to submit their case to tho arbi trament ot reason before the masses ot the party, if met in a spirit of fairness and tolerance. And why should Alli ance men not strive to control party as much as anti-silver democrats? They find in the Alliance demands every sub stantial reform that the Democracy has contended for since its organization. Besides these, they find certain demands aimed at conditions that have arisen since the organization of the party? which conditions are equally obnoxious to t me democratic principles. In short, they find in theso demands more of the spirit and principles of genuine democra cy, than appears in the practice of tho party which bears the name. "Take lor instance, tho tariff and linansinl issues of tho Alliance for which it has been most abused. The Demo cratic press and loaders have denounced the Alliance most bitterly because, it will not mako the tariff the singlo issue next year; and yet seeking to look at the (piestinn broadly as patriots, it is appar ent that tho difl'crcuco betweon the Democratic tariff tax upon the people as proposed in tho Mills bill, and that of the Republicans, as expressed in the McKinley bill, is not proportionate to the radical difference between the He publican 'protective' policy and the Democratic 'rovenuo only' policy. It seems unreasonable that so radical a difference should bo expressed by 15 per cent. "Thoy observe further, that the finan cial policy of the government has passed from a Republican administration to a Democratic, and again from a Demo cratic back to a Republican administra tion, unchanged, untouched. "Thoy suspect, not without reason, a stupendous financial wrong has been perpetrated upon the producing classes; . ami that its perptrators have wrought this wrong by deliberate legislation, knowingly, for their own advantage. VVfjwn tiio full enormity of this wtong, whereby tho wholesale robbery of thoso classes has been mado possible, filters through their minds, and well-grounded suspicion becomes conviction, it may require all tho conservatism of all classes to guide popular indignattou along safe lines. These people may be wrong In some of these specifications; but feeling sin e of the gsneral charges, denuncia tion will neither quell nor quiet them. 4'It is manifestly then the duty of all who pretend to leadership especially, and of all alike, to weicrh .calmly, die passionatety^the conditions; and let intolerance and arrogance be put (Irmly aside. "It cannot escape attention, that while the true Alliance man is imbued with \ the spirit of true democracy, all ot them Vre not wise and prudent. It is conspic uously true also that many most vocif erous Democrat* are advocates of plato ? racy and monopoly; that most of the leading Democratic leaders and papers are seeking to foist upon the party ifaeu who flout not onlv Alliance tenets, but some tenets of tbe Democracy*time out of mind?tenets that were reiterated with tretneudons emphasis by the Demo? era tic masses last fall. "Tho e'i'ort to force such leaders to the fore?rnen who are not only out of bar money with the masses of the democra cy on financial questions, but are avowedly in lavor of policies that wU) perpetualo the wrong done?will strain the party allegiance of some nonr Alli ance democrats even, to the danger ten sion. Is it any wonder then, if Alllancc men who are seeking genuine reform rather than a mere rotation of office* holders, will consider all parties, but endorse none? 4 'These conditions of unrest are un questionably tbe result of Alliance teaching, which has concentrated upon the economic problems of the day the intensified attention of millions panting under intolerable burdens. We admit this; and as a Democrat hold that such teaching can uever injure genuine Democracy. On tlio contrary, Jt can but build to the same lofty ideal which true Dcmocray lias bullLto with unfalter ing faith, thongh with halting progross through the ages."?Charleston World. AFTER GUAY'8 SCALP. Philadelphia Itepublh sank Demand the 1 Retirement or the Dom. PhiLADELrtr/A, June 29.?An ad dress to the citizens of Pennsylvania was Issued today, signed by 150 of Phila delphia's most Influential business and professional men, all of whom are Re publicans; to point put the cause of the degradation of public affairs'in the State and the , necessary steps towards . im fprovement. Senator Quay's manage ment ot t''(> Lcublican machine is said to be corrupt and In strong contrast to .the rank and file of the party. Ills leader ship is characterized as unscrupulous In its methods and disastrous in its results. Quay is held responsible for the over whelming disaster the party met with last fall. His lieutenants m the legisla ture are charged With committing a stupid political blunder by their hostility to the ballot reform bill, and with having violated the express pledges of the party and openly defied the will of the over whelming majority of their constituents. These things have found a fitting culmi nation in the robbery of the city and State treasuries. As tbe party will soon be called upon to nominate a Slate and.'clty treasurer and an auditor general, the nominations must be given to honest men, or tbe party will meet with another defeat. In the preSonce of these facts, Pennsylvania Republicans must not hesitate as to their duty or be in doubt as to their course. It is a crisis, and it can only bo met by the retirement of Mr. Quay. More competent and worthy leadership is necessary and an unflinch ing demand must be made tor the retire ment of these men fr >m the places which thoy have disgraced. All persons throughout the. Stale in sympathy with this movement are re quested to address lock box No. 782, Philadelphia postoffice. Tlio appeal Is signed by John II. Con verse, George Burnham, John T. Bailey <& Co., Itev. Joseph May, Itev. Altred J. P. McCIure, and other prominent peo ple. Minnesota Democrats. Minneapolis, Minn., July 1.?The State Democratic conference gathered here to-day with 150 leading politicians in attendance. Tbe ostensible object of tbe gathering is to organize a club movement of the State and discuss campaign plans. It has been persist ently asserted in many quarters, how ever, that the conference has the ulte rior object of ending tbe dominance of II. P. Kelly and Michael Doran In Dem ocratic councils and of discussing fusion with the Alliance party on the electoral ticket in 1892. Some color is lent to the lirst of these theories by the absence of Kelly and Doran, and tbe presence of many of their avowed ene mies and the latter theory by presence of some Alliance leaders. It bus even been hinted that the gathering would be anti-Cleveland and pro-Hill injenJLU ment. Organizarfqn. W^^Jtected with Mayor E. vV. Decant of Still water as chftVrmau and C. A. Moody of Sauk Rapids as Secretary. Mayor Winston of this city having welcomed the dele gates the usual committees were ap pointed and an adjournment until 2 p. m. was taken. A Human Monstrosity. New York, Juue 29.?The medical and surgical staff at llellevue Hospital are perplexed over the case of George Lippert, the man who has three perfect legs. At the examination it was found that Lippert's heart was fully six times the normal sixe. The doctors say they cannot under stand how it is possible for a human be ing to exist with such an unnaturally large heart. If his heart extended all through his breast, where could his lungs and other organs be? It was agreed i hut no satisfactory explanation could I) ? arrived at. Lippert is as healthy as any one, except that he has the rheii mutism. In Lippert's case all tbe limb* are good, and it Is impossible to pick out what might be known as the extra one. Lippert at the age of twen ty-one had the use of all three limbs. Just as an animal takes alternate steps with its four legs so did Lippert walk with his three. "Rlff-rest f.le of the Season." Columbia, S. C, June 27.?The full expose of the Charleston World of the recent secret meeting in this eity of the administration magnates, giving the letter of the Governor has beeu mentioned. Yesterday, the Governor having returned to the city was asked what be had to say about lt. "I have only qne comment to make," said he: "It hus only enough truth in it to make it the biggest lie of tbe season." He acknowledged writing the letter pub lished but Is at a complete loss to un derstand how it got out, lie could see no way for it to have reached the press fairly. As to the World's account, he said: ' It is chock full of inacuracies and misstatements.*'?The State. Riddled with Shot. Pkorja, III., June 29.?Some time, ago ltoyal Frisby received a notice sign ed "Society of Justico" and bearing a skull and cross-bones, giving him warn ing that lie was to be killed. Yesterday morning his dead body was found on his farm, riddled with shot. The notice Is not believed to have been sent by "While Caps,'' but by friends of his di vorced Wife. Frisby married a Mrs. Carver, of Marshall county. It is charg ed that he dissipated her fortune. After she secured a divorce he married her daughter. This gave rise to a bitter feeling, which is believed to havo cul minated in his death. Drowned Iler Children. Hudson, Win..

CulT?rU und MUm of Trunk Sioux City Iowa, Juno 26.?Rain con tinued to fall all last night, and It still coming down at noon today. The work, of repairing railroad* and telegraph wires is much delayed in consequence. The greatest destruction by the floods was conQncd to an area of fifty miles in extent, directly east of this place. Most of the reports sent out thus far have been pure conjecture, as the roads are impas sable and the telegraph wires have been useless. Communication with Cherokee i has just been opened by the Western Union, which has one wire working slowly to Sioux Falls, S D. Cherokee was the centre of tlie storm and the place where most of the damage was done. The first authentic newB from that place was received at 3 o'clock this afternoon. No lives were lost at that Eliice. Fifty houses were washed away, owever, and a great many were shifted from their foundations, while every bridge, aud culvert in the county is Washed out. Several miles of the Illi nois Central tracks are gone, and the i oiul will be unable to resume operations for three or, four days. Advices from Correctionvllle say that the place is yet under water. At A u re im the water stood six feet deep iu the streets yesterday, but is slowly going down today. The valley of a small creek' runhing into the Little Sio?x at Cherokee was tho only outlet for the water during the storm, and evory house ?nearly one houndred in number?wus swot >t awavg > ? The town "of Mavillo was uoarly wiped out by the flood.., Out of about fifty houses only ono is left standing.

Bodies of horses, cattle and other animals are visible in every direc tion, floating on the water. One farm er lost 200 head of cattle from his pas ture. Reports that four persons were drowned aro not correct. The damage to Illinois Central is now estimated at $200,000. For hundred families are now homeless aud little aid can reach them before Suuday. Omaha. Juuo 26.?The very heavens seemed to have opened and a perfect de luge of water has been falliug sinco 8 o'clock this morning. The newly grad ed streets uro washed out, and thous ands o. dollars have been lost by the cloudburst. Not a train has arrived in the city since morning, and none of the Union Pacilic and E Ik horn since yester day. Telegraph wires liavo gone down and the lightuiug has played havoc with the electric lights. Owing to tho bad condition of tho wires but little can be heard from the interior of the State. A tornado and water-spout at Palmer, while it did little damage in the town, entirely demolished crops in the sur rounding country. At Dodge the river rose seven feet in an hour and drowned a large amount of stock in the n ock yards there. Omaha, June 26.?Ilain fell continu ously from 7 o'clock this morning until 6 o'clock this ovening. Considerable damage was done in the northern and eastern pai ts of the city. In the vicini ty of the old North Omaha creek the streets are flooded to a depth of from two to live feot and the water is up to the windows of the first floors ..of-'Hun dreds ot rosidences. Str^t ffar traffic in that section of p\%-cfty is abandoned. East OoiaJnj^S almost all under water, bu.tr ft'e overflowed section is not thick ly populated, and comparatively little damage was done. A cloud-burst oc curred this afternoon at Mlllard, twenty miles from Omaha, on the Union Paci fic, and inundated the track for half a mile. Tho washouts on the Elkhorn Railroad, which had been repaired, were washed out again today. The heaviest rain for years fell at Nebraska City to day. Tho streets and cellars were flood ed and great damage done. Sioux City, Iowa, June 26.?Re ports were received today at the Chicago and Northwestern offices from the Hood ed districts on the Maple River branch of the road. The town of Mavillo is al most wiped out. The water reached the second story of the houses, and every building in the lower part of the town was swept away. Three miles of rail road track between Mavillo. and Kings ley are gone. The bridge over the Sioux and most of the small bridges were car ried away. Another storm set in this afternoon in the same district, and is still raging. The storm extends south to the main line ot the Northwestern. Trains on tho main lino of the Northwestern are still runniug, but the Milwaukee and St. Paul caunot net to Sioux City.

There Is no possible "might haye beeo" of life's history so sad as the op portunity, lost forever, of being kind to somebody who is dead. There is no sorrow tint can match the sorrow of a heart which recognized too late that it might have been more kind and loviug to one whom God hath taken. There is no tear among the many which mortal eyes might shed which can blister and corrode like the tears that fall wheo | remembering harsh words spoken or tender caresses withheld. It is so small a thing to say a pleasaot word instead of a cross one, or to give a smile in place of a frown, and yet now strangely reti cent we are in suoh matters. "Ob, she knows I love her; 1 can't be bothering to say so all the time!" says the husband, and meantime the heart uf his wife craves the word that is never spoken until its echo comes like a ghost to haunt the memory when death has forever re moved love s opportunity. It Is so little we can really do for one another in the march of life. We are all under march Ing orders, and have burdens to carry. There is no halt tor noonday dreams nor twilllght rest. It is step, step, step ?right onward through dust and com monplace, without musio or banners or present glory, and yet to each soldier bas been given a canteen full of never failing water, a cup of which wo may proffer with no fear of a diminished store all tbe way through to the end of the long march to the sea. Is our com rado discouraged ? Do his feet fail and his hands grow heavy? A cheering word, a loving service, a friendly sug gestion, born of the desire to help and encourge, will revive him like spark ling water in the desert heat. Suoh things cost nothing, but not all the gold and diamonds you could pack into your bundle would match them for solace on the long and dusty march that stretches for each one of us between the cradle and tbe grave. There is one loss that, although you live a thousand years to mourn it, you can never replace. If you lose your for tune pluck and industry will help re lieve it; if you lose your home you may rebuild it; if you lose child, sister or wife time may send another dear one in their place to teaoh you to forget; but oh, my dear, If you love your mother only heaven can ever restore her to your arms. There is no duplicate love to fill the place left vacant by mother loss. See to it then, children, that you sur round her with loving care while yet you have ber with you. So doing you shall assure to yourself peace and com fort rather than long regret and una vailing sorrow in tbe near future when she shall be gone from out the dear old home forever. When her presence shall have vanished from the familiar rooms and in some grave out yonder sleeps all that is mortal of the tired body that enshrined a heart that loved you so un selfishly and so fondly you will be glad to remember that you were a dutiful and loving child always and never grew to be too old and too big to be ashamed of the tender expression of your love. I am always pained, says a writer in the Chicago Herald, when I visit fami lies wherein demonstration and spon taneity aru ridiculed and discouraged. Well-ordered households where tears and petting are not allowed! Strong minded parents who are opposed to lul laby songs at bedtime, and pack their babies oft by themselves to suck their dear little scrabs of thumLs for com pany, and fall asleep by clockwork rule and regulation! Such training is all wrong. It may make Spartans of the children, but this world is more, in need of lovers. Cast-iron disclplino is all very well for prison and barracks, but give us love at home. Let the children fly to mother with their bumped heads and not go oil to choke down their tears in a corner. By and by, when the storm of years is thick upou them, they will re member the bosom on which tJXe^-VrfcVio their childish hurts a^o^ anu'be braver men Jpr, U'ATneihory. Let there be out W&fd demonstration of love, then, even to excess, i tell you the fruit will be none tbe worse for the prodigal blos soms. Tbe upples in the bin are good, but who would forego the splendor of those orchard days when every idle wind shook down a petal, and every breath we drew was perfume laden? By and by. when the children are all llown away; when some tbired bits of feet have been lifted off the ground and car ried into heaven; when some have wan dered far in strange lands, and some are lost amid the shadows; when of the old home there remains nothing but the memory, like the perfume that clings to a shattered vase,we will find lost com fort in the remembrance of our fond and "foolish" love for one another, The baby that mother rocked to sleep will never grow to be a very bad man; the lips that mother kissed so often will never be entirely sin-defiled; tbe boy whom father made a comrade of will never walk quite out of Sight in forbid den paths; the girl whom little brothers and sisters adored will never fall so low that the plummet line of tender mem ory cannot reaoh and save her. Finally, my dear, and 1 wish I could write what I have to say in a flame of gold across the sky, or ring it forth in the notes of a silver bugle?it is love that saves the world and keeps It llko a star. Swinging in the orbit of God's re membrance. It is love that revives the wounded heart and uplifts the fainting courage. It is love that makes home like heaven and even drudgery blessed. It is love that shines like a star in the deepest night and beckons like an angel hand from every sorrow. .It is love that will save your boy wheln discipline and commands are forgotten. It is love that will keep your girl like Una among the lions. It is love that will sweeten the cup which mystic sorrow holds to your quivering lips. It is love that shall make memory yield roses rather than thorns, It is love that, like a strong wind, shall sweep all at last into heav en. Fell Into tbe dlowloK Crater. Rons, July 2.?Vesuvius has renewed its volcanic activity, and the torrent of lava rushing down tbe mountain side is rapidly Increasing in volume. Yester day two Brazilian tourists ascended the mountain, and had just reached the sum mit and were standing on the verge of the crater when they were suddenly en veloped in a dOnse cloud of smoke which rushed out upon them from the volcanic depths. When the outburst had sub sided it was found that one of the gen tlemen had heroine asphyxiated and had fallen into the mouth, of tbe crater. His companion was only saved by the presence of mind of the guide who had accompanied them. As the sulphurous smoke puffed out from the crater's mouth he rushed ifor ward and dragged one of bis patrons out Of danger, but was unable to save the ot her. The vic tim of the accident was Dr. Silva Jar din, of Rio Janeiro, Brazil, a journalist, lie fell a sheer distance of 170 feet into the glowing lava of the crater. DaMlor, Bedeck tbe BatUaflelde.

Greensboro never saw nor beard of such a day of excitement as reigned here to-dav. Business was almost sus pended for a while, and the whole city is highly indignant. Several uights ago Judge David Schenck, late of the Supe rior Court bench, a historian of note and President of the Guilford Battle Grounds Association, gave a moonlight party at the Guilford battle ground, in which Fife, the renowned drummer evangelUt. claims a riotous german lasted all night. Mr. Fife in his meet ing here, denounced it as a disgrace to the soldiers who died on the field, and as a desecration of sacred soil. He also reflected on the name ot Judgo Schenck and family, and declared that no true Christian would engage in such. .... . ?>r Yesteruay afternoon Judge Schenck and his three sons.qalVed at the room of Mr. Fifejlft the McAdoo House and do JBfiBpfta-Mi apology. Mr. Fife replied; ?'Look here, you have struck the wroug fellow," They then left, without vio lence, but were present at the night meeting, when the matter was casually referred to by Mr. Fife. At the close ot the meeting it was whispered that Mr. Fire would be at tacked, whereupon Mr. Fife said: "Friends, hold on a minute; I under stand that I will be attacked." Many voices replied: " f hey will have to at tack us, too," and Mr. lllllhorn added, "And Jesus, too." A hundred men es corted Mr. Fife to his room, and as soon as they left him the three young Schencks came up and attacked Mr. Fife, in the presence of his wife, and threatened to kill him. Mrs. Fife ex claimed: "You are not going to as sault a man of God in the presence of ladies?" They replied: "fto. not in the presence of ladles," and retired. Mr. Fife foltowed them into tbes'.reet.and, approaching the buggy in which Judge Schenck was sitting, offered him his hand, to which the judge responded: "I won't shake hands with any such a damned scoundrel." Mr. Fife'was then struck by Dr. Schenck with a loaded cane ahd staggered. Dr. Schenck then fired a pistol, the bullet whistling un comfortably close to the evangelist's head.

July 2.?Judge Wallace rendered bis decision in the Cantwell case this afternoon, speaking briefly but emphatically on the points of law. He reviewed the case as made out against Cantwell, and als > the au thority of the governor to remove. It was in the power of the governor to ap point, with the approval and consent of the Senate, and it was also in his power to remove, with exactly the same con ditions. They must be contemporaneg ous. There was a special act by which trial justices, auditors and treasurers could be suspended, pending a meeting of the Senate, but no general law. On tho letter of the governor about the two offices, the judge said that the law had been decided unconstitutional in the Supreme Cwrt relating to appointive oiiic.es; that the discharge of the duties of clerk of the county commissioners did hot at all conflict with those of su pervisor; that they were not incompati ble: and that he must grant the prayer of Mr. Bryan in favor of Mr. Cantwell. ?State.
