We had almost concluded TO write no
more about rainiails In Texas. Because
what we have already written has been
carelessly read and falsely quoted By so
many. We would like 70 know what
benefit anyone derives from falsely quot
ing what we may have written. We have
never written where the rain would fall,
OF the day lt would fall, or the quantity.
We say the probabilities are that there
will he a series OF local rainfalls In Texas
about July n. Please bear ia mind that
we use the word about. Whenever
these rainfalls commence, you viii
notice they travel east ward, with strong
tendency to 20 around the dry places
We foretold correctly the rains Of June
4, June l6, June 27 and July 9. Great
heat comes before rain IN Texas, and
cooler weather afterwards. We have got
the beat at this writing. During this
day Saturday 4 number Of citizens have
called upon us and requested as TO con-
time our articles upon rainfalls; that

A MONSTER PETITION
For Self-Government Presented Il
Gladstone by Irish Women.
The Grand Old Man Replies-IIis Zeal for
Home Rule Alone Keeps Him
in iHbIic Life.

LoNnoN, Oct. 4-Mr. Gladstone in adj
dressing a deputation of Irish women wha
called upon him at Hawarden to-day with
nome rule petition signed by five hum
dred thousand Irish women, denied the as
sertlon thathe had renounced his former
attitude by supporting the proposition for
an Irish Parliament. The proposals urged
by the late Government, he said, stood
within the limits of Imperial honor,
safety and welfare. The cause advo>
Gated by Che deputation was the cause
OF the order, peace and legality. 1t was
the hope of conducting to such settlement
Oh the Irish question that kept him in his
present position in political affairs. He
would be quite prepared to Withdraw from
public life if he believed his retirement
would be better for Ireland; but he had
been unable to arrive at that conclusion.
Continuing, he denied the correctness Of
the term "separaGonn so unscrupulously
used by its opponents to describe
The home rule proposal. The pro
moters of the Home Rule bill he declared
never thought of separation, Mr. Glad
sIOne pointed out that Lord SallsDury'S
government was now encouraging the Irish
land occupiers to believe that judicial
rents were to be reduced, but referring to
Lord Randolph ChurchlI's address at Dart
ford on Saturday, he remarked that the per-
formances of that noble Lord were less
known than his promises. There could be no
doubt, said Mr.. Gladstone, that it was to En-
glands interests as well as to that Of Ire.
land, to concede Ireland's requests lie
ayowed his opinion that it was stain upon
England in respect TO her relations with
Ireland, which it bchooved her to remove,
In conclusion he expressed the hope that
the triumph of their cause might come
with promptitude, bringing cheerfuness
and joy, and that there might be no inter,
vening period Of gloom through refusal .
