Hoineof t he leaders who led the or ganization into politics now find them selves nimble to wield it entirely in their own interest, and are moving to have It “let up” on politics. At a meeting of the Alliance Execu tive Committee at Atlanta on Wednes day night we are told that a resolution was passed demanding of all county Alliances and sub-Alliancrs that have endorsed the Third Party to rescind their action or give up their charters. Livingston madu the tight for this res olution. and finally itwus unanimously adopted. The meeting of the Executive Com mlttcv nt which this notion was taken is said to have lasted until midnight, nnd the resolution adopted Is regarded as a master stroke for Democracy. The resolution is based on the action of the Nutioiml Alliance declaring that no Alliance nr sub-Allinnce shall lake any political action or declare Itself part of any political organiza tion. Some of the Alllnnoeitien and sub- XlllnnccH have nlready gone too fnr on the Third Party road to take tho baok track, and- it is probable that rather than submit to the autlon of the Ex ecutive Committee they will throw up their charter*. Livingston Is tho man who led the Alliance Into politics In Georgia, nnd now it seems that he is the first to try to force the organization to “linndB otr." Now, who was It that said, “We told you so?” m The Berrien decided not to join the Third party, hut will try to Inject Its platform and Its candidates Into tho Democratic party. A rose by any other name is not so sweet when It comes to politics, and If the’ Berrien Alliance Is stuck on the Third Party platform it had ns well take that party’s namo. Col. L. L. Polk, President of the National Farmers’ Alllanoe, made a flying trip to Atlanta on Saturday, and the supposition Is that he went to consult with Col. Peck nnd the other Third Party leaders nbout how to head off Col. Leonidas Livingston in his campaign for the Democracy.

The Atlanta Constitution of yester day publishes what appears to be con. olnslve evidence of tho fact tliat tho Kenubllnan and Third Party people of the Seventh and Ninth Congres sional districts are working together to bring out fusion tlokets. There Is danger of the same thing being done In other Congressional districts, and wo have Information wliloh warrants the suspicion that something of the sort is being quietly held In reserve here In the Second district. The Itepubllonns are doing all they oan, Ih a quiet way, to encourage the. ilrd atlo Party tendencies from the Demoera party, and the Democrats of the dlB- trlot had just as well make their arrangements to contend with the united forces of the Republican and.

Of course, tho ex hibition wes Intended “as a warning,” but It Is by no means certain that It will be taken as such by all the boys who were present.

It Is a pitiful oase for the deserted woman, bereft at once of her daugh ters and her ducats. Happily for the credit of human nature, such Instances of utter perfidy to filial ties, to say nothing of the obligations of Common, decency, ’are rare enough to be ex ceptional, indeed. Tb* State Department at Washing ton has offered to pay 128,000 francs indemnity to the families of three Rattan subjects killed In the New Or leans lynching, and tho proposition has been accepted and King Humbert, of Italy, has ordered the restoration of diplomatic relations with this coun try. In’ diplomacy, as well as in pri vate business, the easiest way out of a trouble Is usually the best, and there will be little criticism of the State De- . partment for Its settlement of this affair with Italy. The Italians could not he made to understand the snbtle distinction drawn In this country be tween the rights and authority of a Scate and the powers of the Federal Government, and a settlement in the form of an Indemnity, tendered in suoh specious phrases as might mAst copiously salve the wounds of diplo matic dignity, was evidently the only means of removing an irritating cause of International dispute. 1 PLATFORM*. Here Is a striking little story which is credited to Representative Allen, of Mississippi, as Illustrating the frailty of political platforms: A weather,-beaten American citizen stood on tlm platform of a railroad ooaoh while the train was speedI along nt the rate of fifty miles per hour. “Can’t stand on the platform,” shouted the conductor. “What In hades nre platforms for, anyhow? asked the man, “Platforms arc not made to stnml on; they arc made to get In on," replied the conduotor. publish to-day a letter from Mr. John A.

Mr, Fulton em braces the opportunity to put in some “good licks” for his favorite candidate, but there is nothing narrow-gauge about the Hkbai.d, and we publish ills letter with pleasure.

SchfSatfl Tire*. A certain city official of Albany went out on the Blakely Extension Sunday afternoon for the purpose of visiting Ills family, and returned on the 10:4S a. m. train Monday. Here Is a little incident of his journey, as he told it to a reporter of the Herald “As the train was coming along be tween Walker’s Station and Albany, a mau who was in the baggage oar dropped his hat out of the door. The train was going at the usual rate of speed, but the man jumped from the front end of the oar, ran bank to where his hat had fallen, secured it, and caught up with the rear end of the train before it got out of reach. Now I saw this with my own eyes, and can vouch for the truth of what I say. Why, the fastest time they make Isn't but eight miles an hour." TIIK ONLY ONE EVER PRINTED.

After being in a frenzy half a minute he fails to the ground in a faint. Shantz lives with his brother John on a farm between Fenton and Kirk wood on the banks of the Meramec. He is a hopeless maniac and has been so for two years. His history ex plains it Sixteen years ago Henry was on engineer on a Union Pacific locomo tive. Among his railway friends was one George Dickson and the latter’s fireman. Allison. Diokson and Shantz got into a dispute over a game of cards, and whenever they passed each other after that Dickson and Al lison would taunt Shantz and call him a thief and a coward. One day in Denver matters came to a climax. Shantz got into a rage and swore he'd get even with his enemy within twenty-four hours He left Denver for the west in charge of an express. He learned that Dickson and’ Allison would fol low him on a lone locomotive within fifteen minutes. About fifteen miles out of Denver, at the Geyergorgi was a switch that ran a track dowu a Blope, which stopped abruptly at the brink of the gorge. This siding was rarely used and the switch was lucked. Shantz saw his clianco to get ’even" with his tmmters in a ter rible way. He slowed up, and with the excuse to the fireman that he would go back to see if tho switch was sound, rushed back, broke the look and turned the lever from right to left, so that Dickson’s locomotive would go down the siding and smash down the gorge. He then returned to his eugine. Within twenty minutes there was an unearthly shriek in the valley, a tremendous crash and Dickson’s en gine had smashed down the gorge and was dashed into a thousand frag ments hundreds of feet below. Pieces of flesh and bones was all that was left of Dickson and Allison. The affair attracted great atten tion at the time. Shantz was at once suspected, and the combined facts that Shantz threatened to get “even" and that he stopped at the gorge convicted him, He was sentenced lightly, however, going to the Den ver penitentiary for ten years. In 1886 he was released. No one knew where he was after his release, until one morning, two years ago, he knocked at the door of hi* brother’s house. He was very ill and for two months raved like a madman. He has improved at times, but he is a hopeless maniac. While wandering about the yard he will suddenly rush into the house, yelling, “That locomotive is coming straight toward me. It is coming oh. for God’s sake, take me away I Dickson is steering it to run directly over me." After his faint be will describe his phanton engine. “It had'erape all over it,” he says. ’Dickson, with a white shroud over bis shoulders, hod his skinny hand on the throttle valve, and he uttered a loud curse on me before he blew off steam. Allison taunted me tike be used to do. A demon sat on the cowcatcher with his arms open to grab me." , He will then go into his room and tremblingly go to his bed. At night he walks to and fro, looking out of the window at intervals, and then, drawing back, would shriek: “Oh that headlight is coming round the bend I It lias a monster blaze I” Then he will crawl under his couch and remuiu there for hours.—St. Louis Chronicle. when yon nee?

A poor Italian woman with u babe in her arms and two tittle tots at her heels arrived in Boston one day last week. She could not Speak a word of English. She handed a piece of Miter to n policeman, who shook his tend and turned away. A Boston woman, one of God’s women, too, approached the poor immigrant, and taking the paper from her read an Italian name, number so and so Bil lerica street. Unfortunately the good Samaritan did not know where Bil lerica street was; so, followed by the Italian and her £tle ones, she en tered a store to fiifU out. Seeing the ’Italian, the storekeeper exclaimed. “Oh, they’ve been in here three or four times before; we don’t know anything about it I" “But surely the directory will tell where Billerica street is,” Baid the kind hearted woman, grasping thut much thumbed volume. A brief ex amination resulted in tho desired in formation, nnd straightway tho good Samaritan escorted tho mother and her tittle ones to humble lodgings, where tlie immigrant’s mother wel comed the party with benedictions in sweet Neapolitan.

The fresh, cool air, the dainty perfume of flowers, and the sweet, beautiful musio all com bined to bring holy, helpful thoughts of that day which is the anniversary,^ of the resurreotion of Christ, and to * give some faint conception of that “Peace which paasetli understanding.” The musio had been especially pre pared for the services, and was most heartily enjoyed by the whole congre gation. The deep, rich bass of Mr. Julian Price was a pleasing addition to the choir, and tho clear treble of Master Chester Clark’s boyish voice ns it rung out so sweetly in a short boIo, caused a general turning of bends j\ to ascertain who was the new member j of the choir. The opening services were rather lengthy- nnd Included the christening of the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Strange, but True. The other afternoon a room suffi ciently large was occupied for three hours by a company of about fifty persons. There was talking by sev eral different persons, and about half way through the exercises a song >vns attempted. The Bingor accomplished her task with much difficulty, for by that time the air Was vitiated and exhausted so that her voice seemed to foil back into her throat. A late comer, who reached the room only a few moments before the company dispersed, recoiled from the air which met her, and a glance Bhowed the dull yet glassy eyes nnd flushed cheeks which come with choking ltlngs. But, says the render nt this point, they must have been a set of chil dren or ignoramuses not to have opened the windows or doors and obtained relief. They were neither.

The ohlldren’s Easter celebration held at St. Paul’s ohuroh yesterday afternoon, nnd conducted by Mr. T. M.

The little folks entered with a will Into tho Sunday School singing, and seemed much pleased when their motto-building resulted In the motto, “Christ Is Blsen,” stretched across the chancel in letters of evergreen. The children’s address by Rev. W. EJ Eppes was a most creditable effort. It . came within the comprehension of ail but the very youngest children and aroused and held their- intesMfi all through.
