Attention wss called yesterday to the
successful mesting of the First Baptist
church en- Wednesday evening. But the
success consisted in something more than
the delicious AMI elaborate supper for
which the ladies' Of the society are noted.
I, need not be supposed tina. any one Of
that large company failed to appreciate or
do justice to this. But they dill not come
for supper merely. The close attention
which vas given to the important matters
of the evening" revealed q vital interest in
the welfare OF the church. The review OF
the year by the clerk ard the other reports
were very encouraging, giving a hin. as they
did of the continued prosperity of the soci-
ETY.. The snnusl business wss quickly dis
patched sud the people had the opportunity
of listening to able and timely addresses, on
ms,ters pertaining to church work. The
choice selections of Mrs. Albert Case ard
the poem by Mrs. Anna s. Hunt were to
be espe eially commended for their appro-
p,iateness. The witty and unreportsble
sddress Of Mr.. Howard Oven was
heartily enjoyed, especially by the
pastor and wife. as it opened the
way fer presenting them tie handsome
sam Of sl0o. All seemed to enjoy their
,scret the more, when they saw that the
shole atfsir was perfect surprise. The
. pastor says that il was ths most success
full annual NEE ting he ever attended. All
semed in good spirits and went away with
good courage for the work of the coming
year.

WILL AID DEMOCRACY.

Tho Third Party Has No Hope of Success and
Will Play Into Democratic Hands.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator PETER. of
kansas. who was prominent In the third
party convention at Cincinnati last week.
is back In Washington. He says q third
party candidate for the presidency viii be
nominated next year, and hat the conven-
ton will likely be held In Indianapolis q
year from next month. He further says:
Frankly. / don't think we shall win, but
we will make so great a showing that we
shall convince not only our own people, but
the people generally, that with another
years organization we can easily become
the dominant party. In striking for this
end we are not seeking political prefer
ment; we are not after the offices as such.
The Office is only the means to an end. Our
people are not office-seekers. We are con-
tending for principles, not for individual
ad advantage, except so far as that advantage
may benefit Us ALL"
Senator PETER practically acknowledges
that the aim and effect of the tnird-party
candidate will be the assistance of the
Democratic candidate. The movement at
Cincinnati and the work of the third party
IS In no way connected with the legitimate
Farmers Alliance movement. The official
organ of the National Farmers Alliance.
which was circulated here to-day, does not
contain the slightest reference to the Gin
cinnati convention. 1t appears to be part
of a plan to entirely ignore the recent or
ganization of a third party. The paper Is
issued at the national headquarters of the
Alliance, and its editor Is DIR. Macune,
chairman of the executive committee OF the
Alliance. 1t gives the keynote to the vari-
ous small Alliance papers throughout the
country. President Polk claims that the
constitution of the organization gives him
the W to expel the proprietors of an AL
lance paper if they 90 outside of strict Al
lance principles. AS some of the Western
papers have grown enthusiastic over the
third-party movement the president may
exercise his prer0gative by compelling
them to follow the lead of the national OF
gan in ignoring the Cincinnati third. party
movement, or else haul down. their Alliance
colors and stick to their original texts.
Ex-senator Warner Miller, in an inter
view here, was asked what he thought of
the third-party movement. He said: Il
do not think that 1t can last long. History
teaches us that no party built upon one
idea can live. The Greenback party,
the Grange, the Prohibition party, and all
the rest of like sort, have failed, and l
think this will also. 1t is so near the pres
idential campaign. however, that 1t would
have to suffer q very sudden death not to
have some influence on the election OF 1892.
If they put a presidential ticket in the
field they may not carry n State. but
they may get enough votes to change the
result in some of the States. just az activi-

Spain, ETC.. who negotiated the recently
made commercial treaty with Spain. had o
long conference with President Harrison
this morning, during which the Behring
sea seal fisheries and other important Dip
lomatic questions now pending were dis
cussed. The report that General Foster
was acting for Secretary Blaine in the
principal diplomatic problems unfinished
during the absence of the latter has been
confirmed. While no official statement is
made on the subject, it is well understood
that General Foster, who has the affairs of
the Department of State we'll in hand. will,
during the illness or absence of Secretary
Blaine, look after the completion of the
most important matters requiring diplO-
matte skill. General Foster has for many
years been regarded as one of the most
skillful dIplomates in the country, and the
BehrIng sea or any other problem wonld be
safe in his charge. He is both saQaciOus
and discreet. Secretary Blaine is not ex-
pected TO return here under some weeks, If
not months. The reports as to his eondi-
