Do YOU WANT RAIN?
Frank Melbourne Says He Can Bring
1t in Three Days.
He iO willing to Take Orders From Any
Part of the Country--An Interview
With the Inventor.

Canton has stopping at one OF its hotels
a remarkable parsonage in Frank Mel
bourne, who arrived here from Australia
the first of March. He has machine by
which, he claims, that any time he decrees
il nece ssary, for the good of the country,
to bring rain, he starts in motion his con-
trivences and inside of three days he will
have IL raining.
A NEws-DEMoCRAT reporter called at
the Hotel Yohe and met Mr.. Melbourne
who is brother of Contractor John $.
Melbourne of this city.
He spoke as follows: VI have been in
Australia for the past twelve years and
during my stay there the country bad
some terrible drouRhts. -Four years ago
conceived the idea OF invcnting machine
by which rain could be made TO fall. Dur
ing my stay there l was at work in paper
mill and after work every moment had
to spare worked on this machine. l had
no success with it up to within a short
time ago although / tried and experiment
ed with IL on different occasions. Last
fall an astronomer in Queensland pre-
dicted "a three years. drought. In Septem-
ber perfected my machine and from then
until January of this year brought rain a
dozen different times. i went to New
Zealand in February and made it rain six
times during my stay. left New Zealand
in the latter part of that month and reach
ed San Francisco in March. On che voy-
age kept up clouds tothe comfort of the
passengers. since my arrival in Canton
have made it rain in kaRsas and the last
time here.n
He claims that he can make it rain any
where in the country and says he intends
making his living bg causing rams on
short order. He refused to show the
machine or tell how Ii worked. The
man is completely carried away with his
machine. He intends bringing another
rain very soon.

WORSE THAN IRELAND.

There were in the United States in
1880 322, 1857 tenant farmers payingrent,
and 702,244 tenant farmers, villeins or
metayers, farming on shares, total of
1,024,70l tenant farmers. The total
number of tenant farmers in England,
Ireland, Scotland and Wales is l,069,l27
If the 574,222 Irish tenant farmers
should be compelled to share their crops
equally with their landlords, as 702,2
American farmers must, such an outcry
would go up to heaven as was never be-
fore heard in the world.
If the 4l4,80 English tenant farmers
were required to do it they would take
only from thirty six to forty. eight hours
in which to wipe out the whole system
of land tenures. The greatest share
ever asked of them was fourth

HARRISON HEDGING.

1t is announced from Washington
that, since President Harrison's West
ern trip, he is hedging on the McKin-
ley bill. In commenting on this the
Chicago News, Independently says:
"Whether Harrison OF Blaine or any
other Republican, now prominent In
official life, shall secure the President
ial nomination iu 1882, is less impor
tant than the knowledge that the Re-
publican party viii probably go To the
polls on platform of tariff reform.

istration in oflice on tariff reform

Are Solid For Governor Campbell and

MILLERsBURG, o., May 2G.-The county
convention met here in Agricultural Hall
yesterday afternoon. 1t was one of the
largest and most enthusiastic conventions
held here for years. After the county
nominations the convention resolved
itself into mass meeting, and the first
thing done was the introduction OF the
following resolution by w. S. Hanna:
"Wheress the Democracy of Ohio two
years ago nominated a candidate for Gov
ernor who surprised the country by the
brilliancy OF his campaign, which resulted
in his triumphant election; therefore be IL
"Resolved by the Democracy of Holmes

struct our delegates this day chosen to the
State convention to cast their ballots for
him so long as he may be candidate.o
The convention was in entire sympathy
with the resolution, as was at once mani
tested, and the only opposition came from
Judge Armor, who made speech in OPP
position, and was followed by Judge Still
well, who favored the resolution and who
waded into Hamilton county with his
heavy boots on. The clamor for the
question was so great that debate was
shut off, and the resolution went through
whirling, and then the applause was deaf
ening. The county that defeated the whole
National Republican organization last
year, and whose Democracy refused to be
bought by monopoly's gold, and by so do.

IT causes pain to reproduce such a
vinegary item as this from the editorial
columns of that staunch Republican
paper, the Chicago Tribune, because
the editor of the Tribune is an old
Canton boy, and ought not to be saying
such cruel and unkind things.
"Those men who drafted the wool
schedule OF the Mckinley bllLand made
OF it the keystone and the very soul of
that bad measure were the intOlerab.e

an increase III the wool duties would

OUR BUSINESS COUNCIL.

. There is no room for doubt that the
Republican majority in our city coun-
Gil made very stupid asses of them
selves last evening. This will be gen
erGlly conceded by all independent
and level headed citizens, regardless of
party politics. 1t was the worst exhi-
bition of partisan malice aud pure cuss-
edness yet witnessed in this
city, with quite long history behind
it. The ordinance introduced to at
tempt to prescribe the Mayor in the dis
charge of his duties, under the laws of
Ohio, is child's pay. If passed, it will
have no legal force.
Do these political chumps imagine
that they are above rhelaws Of Ohio, and
that they can pass an ordinance to
nullify the laws of Ohio. Don't they
know enough TO know that they viii
not be allowed 10 do by iadicection
what they are not allowed TO do by
direction. Suppose the council passes
the ordinance prescribing the action Of
the Mayor, as contemplated, and the
Mayor goes right on under the laws Of
Ohio, what will the council do about
it? Have they read the history of the
Steubenville case and the decision of
the Ohio Supreme Court upon it? Or
do they know that this ordinance is
null and void, and are only passing it
to give more advertising to President
Sefton's Sunday organ. We shall refer
to other aspects OF this subject in the
immediate future.

SPEAKING of the plank, which We
published in the NEws-DEMooRAT on
Tuesday, on Canadian reciprocity, tn
Toledo Bee says:
"The author Of the plank modestly
requests the Bee to omit his name, but
we shall risk offending by declining to
do so. Hon. NJ. d. Harter wrote it aud
his name ought to attach to it. 1t is
the essence Of honest Democracy and is
a plank worthy of the leading place in
the State platform this year and the
National Platform next year."

Some of these politicians, who are Re

staunch and reliable Democrats of the

ernor. Judging by the returns from

by taxation shall 60 into the public
treasury, and that reciprocity with
Canada, established by the Democratic
party in 1854, and terminated by the
Republican party 10 1866, be restored to
the people.
