Krjin the HirrMmrg Telepraph. When tbe Farmer' Alliance in the West took a bacd in politics and made things un pleasant for tbe Ileiiublican party there were no more earnest advocates of tbe Third Par ty movement than tbe Southern newspapers, for they saw in it some chance of success at tbe Presidential election. Now, however, they have changed their tune. Tbe Alliance is organized in the South is spreading and is strong, and it is begin ning to take on political airs that the South ern prest do not like. As a consequence tbe Southern pre is frantically bowling at the farmers not to j-jin tbe Alliance, as in doing so they would hurt the Democratic party in tbe South, and, of course, beip the Republi cans. They are using the same old argu ments, too. For instance, here is a Rich mond rebrl sheet which says : "Tbe Tuird party in W2 numbers a con siderable percentage of Democrats. Tbe only thing that tbs Third party can accom plish is tLe election of a Republican Presi dent. Tbe Republican party is in favor of putting the negro on top in the South. These are tke plain (acta. A Third party vote in Virginia and otbtr Southern States in No-, ember next is a vote for high tariff and the Force bill. Let our farmer friends make no mistake. With a Third party in the field in the South, tbe South realises that there will be some very doubtful Democratic Slate at tbe November election. Hence tbe cries, tbe pleadings, the entreaties for the dear farmer not to join the Alliance. And what silly arguments they use. "The Republican par ty is in favor of putting tbe nee ro on top in tbe South." That is an old story. Tbe Re publican party believes in giviug the negro proper protection at the polls, and if tbe oegru is in a majority and outvotes ib Dem ocracy, why that is the Democracy's misfor tune. It is gratifying, however, to btar the frank admission that the Third Party can accom plish tbe election of a Republican President. A ear or so ago it looked the other way. We are giad to note that tbe Farmers' Alli ance is picking up some good square sense. If it proposes to help elect a Republican President, thin mors power to it, may it multiply and increase in numbers in tbe South. It will be ail the belter (or tbe farm er if he can do this, for the Republican party is, snd has alwars been, bis best fritod. Meanwhile, let the Southern pres rave.

The terms in which you state your desires are such as to leave me no choice but to accede to your wishes at once. Your resignation is therefore ac cepted. Very respectfully yours, Benjamin Harbison. MixNEnLis. June 4. The news that Secretary Blaine has resigned and the resig nation been accepted by the President hts creattdthe wildest excitement here. The Blaine men are wild with joy and enthusi asm and chtcr after cheer greets the tn nouncenieut in the West House. Claikson, Piatt, Fauelt, and the score of other Blaine boomers insist this means Elaine's nomina tion on the first ballot, and there really ap pears to be a Blaine stampede among dele gates snd other. The Harrison managers for the tirst time have lost their serenity. Hon. R. R. Sbicl, an Indiana delegate, and one of the Harrison managers, is just aldressing an audience of newsmper men in the West lobby. " It makes no differ ence," said he, " if Blaine has resigned." L?t him resign. He cannot stop it. W bare got the Delegates to nominate Brn Harrison and we will dj it. We do not care for Blaine. We have no light ajrainst him, but we are suing to nominate Harrson whether he is in the Convention or not.' Just at this moment there was a wild cheer from the northwest corner of the ho tel. " It is true !" shouted a Biaine man. "The Ass jciated Press dispatches say that Blaine has resigned and llirriaon has ac cepted his resignation. Hurrah for Blaine '. Tbe cheer for Blaine re-echoed through the corridors and was taken up in the streets. In a minute the streets were wild with ex c'tsmeut. Men marched in (quads up and down tbe streets, yelliug " Biaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine." The Haarison men were jeered by the ildly excited Biaine men, and two or three personal encounters weie narrow ly averted. The Blaine fever seemed to be infectious. Delegates who had been lor Harrison were reported to be coming over to Blaine, and in several in'tauces this sjeaied to be tbe ease. How far this would go no human be ing could predict. The Blaine men eipcct to swt-ep everything before them. ForaLer smiles and shakes his bead as he gates down to the surging mob, yelling for speeches in the rotunda of the hotel, and Fassett is nowhere to he seen. On the face of senator Uuay is a quiet smile of exulta tion, but Le is cool and uurulHed mani festly dclibleJ but ever cool. Clarkson, Conger, Piatt, and others are in consultation, in fall view of the crowd, and every burst of enthusiasm causes them to glance downward with complacent approv al. "It's a whirlwind," said the distinguish ed lowan, but that is the only remark he vouchsafed. The Harrison managers John C. New Senator Hiscock, R. C. Shiel, and others have just gone iuto conference behind dot ed door. Tbe Blaine leaders seem to have passed the stae of secret conference. Tbe whole public is now in tbeir confidence. It Biaine, Blaine, Blaine. He is tbe man to win on every band, and all tbe enthusiasm is truly on tbe side of the magnetic leader. A casual observer, to drop into Minneapo lis at this time, would suppose thsre was only one candidate in the field, and that bi: name a James G. Blaine. Six Peop Drowned. Niles, O., May A3. A water-spout burst over Kinsman, a small village twelve miles northeast of this city, on the Pymatuning river, yesterday morning, drowning six per sons and destroying buildings, stock snd crops. Tbe wa'er fell in torrents from 4 o'clock until a few minutes after six, and tbe small river overflowed its banks. The farm ers did not tlt-e, thinking there was no dan per, and all would have been safe bad not a dam about two miles above the village bro ken without warning. J. B. Robin's house was on the bank of the nver. He and bis wife and two children were eating breakfast when the flood came. It is presumed that they started to flee, but too late. K. Stewart and son were in their barn, which was carried away. Their bouse withstood the torrent, and Mrs. Stewart wit nessed the drowning of her husband and son. J. D. Campbell and wife were carried down the stream, but lodged on an abut ment of a bridge and were rescued. Tbe bodies of the six drowned were found in a large pile of driftwood, which reached near ly across tbe river. Searching parties are overhauling tbe driftwood, believing that more bodies will be found. Many horses and cattle were swept away, and tbe loss is estimated at f 20.000. Our Little Men and Women.

Thursday. ABlil ING POINTS Or LAW. From the time the case was closed at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning until a quarter till 3 o'clock in the afternoon counsel on both sidts argued to tbe court on the points of law on which they de sired the jury to le instructed. At that hour General Coffrotu began his address to tbe jury in behalf of the Common wealth. Heepokeforan hour and la teen minutes in which time he discussed the credibility of the testimony offered by the defense and marshalled the facts produced by the prosecution in a solid column, from which he said the jury could not escape, and that if they believ ed the evidence their verdict must be "guilty of murder in the first degree." General Coffroth was followed by r. J. Kooser, Esq, for the defense, air. Kooser made as powerful an argument for an acquittal in this case as be did for a verdict of guilty in the Xicely case. Mr. Kooser spoke for an hour and a half and at tbe conclusion of his address at 5:30 r. m. Court adjourned to meet at 8 a. m. Friday morning.

The Judge's argument was a desperate effort to secure anything but a verdict of murder in the first degree for his client. General Koontx closed the argument in the case for the Commonwealth. His argument was logical and forceful and be simply asked for a verdict in accordance w ith the evidence. Judee Lonsrenecker concluded bis charge to the jury at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. His Honor 6poke for more than an hour and explained all of the es sential features of the case clearly and to the entire satisfaction of the attorneys on both sides. His charge was very fair and impartial. Spring Fever. The gradual opening of the budding trees and the shooting upwards of the blades of grata are signs of the advent of spring.
