THE THIRD PARTY-DIFFERENC OF
OPINION

J There seems to be a difference Of
opinion, even among Alliancemen
themselves, as to the demands of the
Alliance for third party. President
Keitt, of the County Alliance, seems to
be of the opinion that the demand Of
the Alliance for third party comes
principally from the West. Secretary
Boyd, of the County Alliance, informed
The Herald and News that the Coun-
ty Alliance, in endorsing the action Of
the Ocala convention, did not under
stand that in so doing the Alliance was
endorsing the third party scheme.
State Lecturer Talbert, in a published
interview, says that the Alliance is out
fat footed in favor of third party, and
that the Alliance is "Simon pure
political organization"
There seems to be a difference of
opinion on this question. The Herald
and News has talked with a number
of Alliancemen in Newberry County,
and the great majority are opposed to
the third party. Of course there are
seme few who favor such step, but
the rank aud file seem to be willing to
work within the ranks of the Demo-
cratic party?
The Herald and News cannot see
what the Alliance in South Carolina,
at least, wants with third party. It
claims to be, and possibly is. strong
enough to control the election within
the Democratic ranks and we can see
nothing to be gained by going into
third party. The Democratic party
has been claimed to be the party of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
pie, then what further use have we for
a peoples party.

Every demagogue, or political stump
speaker, who appears before an au-
dience, or rushes into print, is ranting
and snorting about "the people," It
is ''the people" this, and !':!the people"
that, and "the people," the other. The
Herald and News would like to know
who are "the people" any how.

The River Remarkably Iowa RIyernnnn
ON tho River.

The River Remarkably Iowa Hlvernnn
ON tho River.
Captain John Crockard is not the
busy man he was a few weeks ago, when
the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati boats
were arriving and departing daily, and
the wharf was covered with vehicles
taking and delivering freight. He told
an INTELMdEScER reporter yesterday,
that the river was lower now than 1t
had been ut this time Of the year for
many seasons. During the last two
years the river had remained remarka-
bly, high, there being 20 feet of water in
the channel last May, and for several
years before the Ohio had been at q
boating stage at this time Of the year.
Captain, said the reporter, "where
are the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
packets tied up?"
1.-THE Congo has left us for the sea-
SON." he replied, Sand is now in the
Memphis trade. The Andes is at Gin
cinnati, where she is receiving gem
eral overhauling, besides being entirely
repainted from stem to stern. The
Bachelor, the Scotia and the Hudson
are tied up ut Pittsburgh, and are re-
ceiving the usual repairs prior to the
resumption OF navigation"
when do you think navigation will
resume?"
1.-THE prospects have been rather
blank for some time, as you know. l
notice to-day, however, that the wind is
from the south, and ] have some hopes
that we shall have rain in a few days.
If we have q little spell Of plentiful
showers and the river fills up again the
boats may be able to carry on trade for
quite awhile. Most likely, though, the
high water would not stay with US very
long. The splendid facilities offered by
the river all through the past two years
have spoiled US somewhat, and 1t is
with regret that we rivermen view re-
turn to the old state of affairs, when
boats remained tied up idle until fall.
The shipments to points between here
and Parkersburg continue to be right
lively, and the boats in this trade can
run two or three weeks yet, at the rate
the river is falling. anticipate, how

"Have you heard any talk about the
wicket dam to be built short distance
above Rochester,
"Well, sir, I've heard some talk. but
nothing definite has been decided upon.
/ know, that if such dam were put in,
there would be steady navigation all the
year round, high water or low water, be-
tween the new dam and the upper Mo-
nongahela. The advantages Of this sys-
tenn are apparent to every one, and be-
lie7e the time will come, when the Ohio
will have slackwater navigation from
one end to the other, unless we get that
ship canal from Lake Eric, and then, you
know, We won't need the DAMS"

The Work Of the Frost.

Ed. Miller, well-known farmer and
fruit grower, was in from the country
yesterday. Speaking Of the frost of Sat
urday night he said that the prospect
was excellent on Saturday that hewould
have five hundred barrels OF apples in
his orchard this year, and yesterday
there was not an apple left unkilled by
the freeze. The little apples when cut
open are black clear through, He had
also lots of grapes, and these we're not
only killed, but the new sprouts were
blackened. Mr.. Miller was all over the
county on Sunday, and he says no part
ofit escaped the same severe visitation.
The corn yesterday was lying on the
ground black and wilted. In some pla-
ces it was up six inches. He thinks this
very bad year for farmers.
A funny thing about the recollections
of the famous black frost of years ago is
that no two persons remember it as oc-
curing in the same year, and yetall are
equally positive on tho matter. A gem
tleman writing from Bellaire says it was
on June 4, 1859. A gentleman from the
country remembers just as distinctly
that it was 1857. Mr.. Dudley, OF Wood
county, was quoted yesterday as placing
it in 1858, while another informant Of
the INTELLaENCER said it was in 1861.
All agree, however, as to the month and
the day OF the month.
