all day, until, at p. m, the rain began
to fall. Before 10 o'clock this whole

Still more effective apparatus will be
brought into operation, and the rain
makers expected to see a third storm
over the arid Llano Estacado before the
week is out. If so the prairie dogs will
get drowning out, which has already
been almost unprecedented.

a "skirmish" of Ten Days.

Ten days ago the experimenters began
operations, and they have kept up CON
tinual "skirmish." Since that time some
of the most powerful apparatus has not
been used to great extent, but large
quantities of rackarock mixture, giant
powder, dynamite and hydrogen gas
have been exploded on the ground, from
kites and in balloons.
The readings of the instruments which
Professor Curtis, of the Smithsonian,
brought from the weather bureau of
Washington, clearly show that the oper-
ations have had marked effect upon me-
teorological conditions, and have pro-
duced definite and practical results.
Rain Almost at Command.
The continued series of explosions
during last week resulted Monday night
in an unsettled condition of the atmos-
phere. Light broken clouds foated
overhead, and the moonlight shone
brightly between them. A heavy
charge of racIarock was then fired be-
fore more than fifty spectators, and in
forty seconds after the explosion
drenching shower was falling. The OBJ
servers were treated to the rare sight of
a beautiful lunar rainbow. This oper-
alton was repeated four times during
the evening, when q light cloud came
directly overhead, and in every case
the rain fell in from twelve to forty
seconds.

THE METHODISTS In POLITICS.

We should think that in the troublesome
times that have come upon the churches,
when heresies are ripe and heretics plenty,
the ministers Of the gospel would devote
their energies wholly to the mending of
their religious fences. If experience is
worth anything it must teach the eX
Founders OF the gospel that their interior
ence with worldly things, and especially
with politics. is dangerous to their own
cause. They must have learned that in the
course of the abolition movement, which
more than any other episode strengthened
the heterodoX and particularly the Uni
tartan churches. They must have dis
covered that in the BURCHARD incident
during BLAINE's candidacy; or if their
memories be short they must remember at
least the recent municipal election in New
York when the churches formed league to
defeat Mayor GRANT but succeeded only in
discrediting themselves.
We speak of these matters only because
we would not have the usefulness of any
church impaired by its meddling with af-
fairs which do not pertain to 1t as an insti-
tuition. Thus the report in the Methodist
conference, which just adjourned in Ogden,
to the effect that ''the time had not yet
come for division on national party lines"
&c, is clearly out of its sphere. What
special qualification have these political
parsons anyway to judge the situation so
sweepingly! And when they make the
bold assertion, without offering scintilla
of evidence in proof that polygamy is still
a practice in the Mormon church, they lay
themselves open to the charge of bearing
false witness against their neighbo-. We
dislike to think that of body of Christian
ministers and believers, but the conference
report leaves no other alternative.
During the entire session in Ogden the |
Methodist conference wrestled with the |
shortage in the university funds and with |
the misconduct, if not dishonesty, of the !
Rev. Sam Small. 1t was practically con-
ceded that the institution is a failure, and |
the money contributed toward it, gone, no
one knows whittier. Regarding with the
utmost charity the whole sorry business, |
we should still have preferred if the con-
ference had passed a drastic resolution !
touching this concrete case than a foolish |
report concerning an abstract phantom.

HOW IT GROWS.

Ever since the Democratic movemen t
started in Utah the demand for THE
HERALD has been unprecedented. Yester-
day a single order from the Ogden Demo
cratic club was received through Judge
HENDERSON, for one thousand copies each
OF the daily and semi-weekly edition for
the junction City. Thus while the Re-
publican Tribune is trying to convince
itself, since it can convince nobody else,
that the new departure is but passing
mood, the people of Utah are eager to gain
information on the political issues on which
the August election, and every other cleo
ton after that, shall be fought. We are
glad to know this to be the case, because
upon an intelligent understanding Of the
principles involved depends the political
complexion of this territory. Let the
people but know the truth and they
will sustain the Democratic party and its
candidates as with one voice. 1t is because
the wide spread of THE HERALD evinces
the deep interest that is being taken in the
grand cause it represents, that We glory
how it grows.

TINE TO DIsBAND.

To-day the territorial central committee
of the Peoples party will meet
to determine upon what action
should be taken by the party in view of the
changed condition of things politically in
this territory. Political wisdom, it occurs
20 US, will suggest but one course to pursue.
There is no Peoples party in,,Weber county.
where the organization went to pieces last
winter, and even the name has rarely been
heard since. No power could revive the
party in that county, where its former adj
Eerents, or the great majority of them at
least, have enrolled themselves on the ros-
tiers of the Democratic and Republican or
CARNATIONS. Weber hiss forgotten both
the Peoples and the Liberal parties, and
we have yet to meet the resident of the
county who is not heartily glad that this
is so.
There is no longer a Peoples party in
Salt Lake county, where the organization
was regularly and formally disbanded last
month, although it had practically gone to
pieces before the Official action was taken.
In both these counties the disbandment
was not proclaimed until it became ap-
parent that there was no longer any shadow
of excuse for the continuance of the organ
ization. There was nothing for it to do,
and no occasion for its further existence.
The members were loyal to the party while
there was work for the latter to perform;
then the adherents simply quit and are
now seeking fellowship in live organiza-
lions which have labor before them. The
two counties we have nsmed, together
with Summit, in which the Peoples party
cuts but small figure, will send to the
nearly one-half the members of
that body. Thus, we see that however
ambitious the Peoples partisans outside
these counties might be, they are powerless
to advance any cause which they imagine
they possess. Let them do their utmost,
let them accomplish all they could hope to
achieve, and they would be nothing more
nor less than minority; and what would
be annoying would be the fact that the
minority would be without influence and
without purpose.
While the disbanding has forcibly taken
have been so many Withdrawals from the
party in Utah county that the organization
cannot hold together there, no matter what
action the committee may take The con-
test in Utah county will be between Dera-
ocrats and Republicans, both Of whom have
organized and are gaining strength every
day. Neither the People nor the Liberals
will be sin it'' to an apprecisble extent in
Utah. In Davis considerable percentage

INFORMATION CONES that our former

Gently appointed United States consul ut
Ensenada, Lower California. In this con-
nection there also comes q good story.
Upon receiving his commission, Mr.. GoDBE
thought it would be proper to float the
stars and stripes over his office, and he
therefore sent to California for an Ameri-
can flag. In due time the starry banner
arrived and Mr.. GoDBE was officially mott
fed to call at the custom house for it. He
responded. and to his chagrin was required
to pay fine, in the form of custom duty,
amounting to SIG, flags being dutiable at
high rate under Mexican laws. Those who
know ANTHONY can better imagine than
describe his appearance when handing over
that money.

What are we coming to in this territory
anyhow. Are we to be run" by the
churches and our political action to be die
tated by them! Why can't they tend to
their own affairs and let the politics of the
people alone: What is the difference be-
tween Methodist and Mormon hlerar-
chy! What do Democrats think of this in
reference Of the Methodist church with
their rights as American citizensi If the
Methodist church wants to destroy its use
fulness let it keep Up such interference.
For the Democrats of this territory we re-
sent this action of the Methodist church
and demand that it, as well as other
churches, shall keep out Of politics and at
tend to its own affairs.

Of the voters have already declared them
selves in full sympathy with the Demo-
cratic party and enrolled themselves for
the fight under that banner. while Demo
cratic clubs are being organized in all the
towns.
We refer 70 these things for the purpose
of informing the central committee Of the
facts, that intelligent action may be taken.
From one end of the territory to the other
the impression prevails that there is no
longer reason for keeping up the Peoples
party, which lived just as long as there was
excuse for living. This popular sentiment
should be needed by the committee, and
resolution adopted that the issues now be-
fore the committee are not such as require
the maintenance Of the political organiza-
ton known as the Peoples party. We be-
lieve the committeeman will be wise in this

THE METHODIST CHURCH IN POLITICS.

The report OF the committee on condition Of
affairs in Utah deals largely with the Mormon
question, and recites the difficulties Methodism
has encountered from Mormon influence. It
then turns to the political situation in the terri
torJ, and declares that the time has not yet
come for division on national party lines. and
that further time should be taken before open
ing the way TO statehood.
The above is taken from the published re-
ports OF the conference proceedings Of the
Methodist church at Ogden just adjourned.

Mormon church in politics, but now how

the money together, and was on the point

This gentleman Immediately sought the
Salt Lake man to ask him if such matter
was a common diet of the Tribune, and
when informed that it unfortunately was.
the financial business was promptly de-
clared off, and the disappointed Salt Laker
returned home. Whoever was at that
