The trottiDg season of 1891 has bristled
with notable evrnts. On all sides records
have been cut down. Maud S, queen Of the

MOI a Total Failure.

Ridgeway (Mo.) journal: Melbourne, the
rain wizard, has given up the job to produce
rain in the desired amount at Goodland,
Kas. We have been reading the account o Z
the experiment from the Goodland RE-
PUBLIC. From this paper and what we
know of the country, we have come to the
conclusion that the wizard has more than
wind behind him, There was not a time
that he went to work but what good results
were shown. Attic last test the barometer
indicated dry weather, but the next morning
1t was misting. It soon turned cold and of
course that stopped the rain. All the tests
resulted similar 70 the last one. It Is seldom,
II ever, that much rain falls in that country
at this time of year and 1t Is usually clear
weather. From August until spring there
is very little dry weather, and all the time
Melbourne has been there the weather has
been stormy.

PLUMB REVIEWED.

Senator Plumb IN his ottawa
speech said:
Now there may be some ineantation, some
mysterious process by which yeu can take =
man who has been heretofore engaged in the
corrupt practices of either of the old par
ties, and by simply transferring HIM 70
another party make him white as snow.
This back-handed slap was inten-
ded to mean that the peoples party
is made up of the corrupt elements
of the two old parties. There could
be nothing more maliciously false.
This new party have never nominated OF
voted for a single member of the legisla-
ture, single member of congress, single
state officer In any democratic state.
The recent election iii Kentucky
and the senatorial election in South
Carolina disprove this statement, or
does the senator want to take advan-
tage of the youth of the party, it
only having be en- organized last
May-paraphrase-this six months
old child has never plowed an acre
of ground or raised a hill of beans.
Speaking of the financial PROPOSE
tions of the platform of the new
party he says:
1t is proper to note that this means re-
pudiation of debts.
In other words the peoples party
proposes Reputation of debts.
Again:
1t is worthy of note, also, that the pen
sions of the soldiers would be reduced cor
respondIngly,
Ex-union soldiers make up large
per cent of the peoples party. Does
the Kansas senator tell the truth?
We think not.
Now it will be remembered that
Professor J. H. Garfield, now chan
cellor of the state university of
Nebraska and formerly connected
with the state agricultural college of
this state wrote an article for eastern
periodicals in which he said that the
rank and hle OF the alliance move
ment in Kansas were not repudia-
tionists, but honest farmers who pay
their just obligations. .
It will also be remembered that
fifty-two of the alliance members of
the lower house of the Kansas state
legislature were veterans of the late
war. 1t is unreasonable to suppose
that these men are against the pen
sionIng of soldiers, or would do any
thing to lessen the amount they are
receivingP
1t has come to pretty pass when
a senator of the United States in q
political canvass will resort to mis-
representation and falsehood. But
it is so, and the reason is, they can
say nothing against the peoples
movement unless it is to misrepre-
sent and falsify.

Rnf He WILL.

Denver Republican,: Some of the people
of Sherman county, Kansas, have shown
their faith in Melbourne's ability to make 1t
rain by organizing an artificial n-produc-
ing company. This undoubtedly is the first
time that any such company was ever organ
lied, and II 1t should be successful, 1t would
mark the beginning of a new era IN Kansas
agriculture. The company proposes 20 en-
ploy Melbourne as rainmaker and to pay
him 10 cents an acre for all the land watered
by him during the next summer. Unfor-
tunately for the success Of this enterprise,
Melbourne has not shown that he can make
it rain under any conditions.

THIRTY years have passed since
