THE defeat of the sub.treasury
scheme at Pertle Springs is a fine
compliment to the sturdy farmers
of Missouri, and the Kansas City
Star says: The suppression Of the
sub.tressury scheme is a triumph
for the conservatism and good sense
which have always distinguished
the people of Missouri. The credit
OF this State is up to the highest
standard. It's securities command
the best prices at home and abroad.
They are everywhere regarded as
desirable investments and are ca
gerly sought for. With a popula-
ton which is known all over the
country as frugal and honest, and
possessing natural resources which
are unrivaled in variety and ex-
tent, Missouri has become a syn
onym for solidity. 1t is essential
to its prosperity that it shall main
tain this reputation. 1t would be
senseless and suicidal to forfeit it.
Paternalism and mendicancy
should find no hospitality within
its borders. 1t was, indeed, cause
for surprise that the begging sub.
treasury plan found any advocates
at all in the convention at Pertle
Springs. In a state like this,
where the soil not only yields an
abundance of all of the products o.
husbandry, but in which the bosom
| OF the earth is richly stored with
every variety of mineral wealth, nc
industrious man need be poor, and
there lie not an able.bodied farmer
in Missouri who requires any helr
from the government. The radi'
calls who favored a policy at Pertle
Springs, which would have endan'
gered the cause of tariff reform il
Missouri, and who advocated 6
scheme to obtain cheap money al
the expense of the credit of the
State, have been forestalled for the
present, but they will not be KEEP
in the back ground, save by the
eternal vigilance of the conserva'
tive farmers who are interested iI
the true prosperity and happiness
of Missouri.

RAIN-MAKING.
The Theory to be Put to a Test by a
Party OF Texans.

MIDLAND, TEX, August 81
The rain-maklng experiment in
a~ugurated by the government and
which has been operating on the
Morris ranch, Is miles from this
place, is to be pushed to a final
and thorough test, regardless OF
what the results of the Dyrenforth
party may have been. R.. j. Kle-
berg, of Corpus Christi, Tex, and
ex-senator Collins, of San Diego,
Texas, are here investigating to as
certain what the Dyrenforth party
did. A reporter called upon them
and the following is their state
ment, in substance: "This thing
must not be dropped now; it is too
important. We are here to inves-
tigate and to learn and not make
statements. We realize that the
government appropriation for this
purpose was small and probably
not enough to carry it very far.
We shall wait until after this par
ty make their final test at Ell Paso,
and if it is not then further demon
strated as an absolute fact we pro.
pose, as individuals backed by our
counties and many very strong
financial interests, to make a SIM
liar and conclusive test. We real
ize that it is necessary to remove
every doubt before the government
can be expected to lend any furth-
er assistance, and that is what the
individuals we represent propose
doing. We will go direct to Aus
tin and interview Gov. Hogg and
seek to further enlist his influence
in the furtherance of this under
taking, in which he is already
deeply Interested" These gentle
men represent the great King es-
tate and other of the most extern
sive ranch and land-owning con.
Germs in this State and they mean
business.

mands, the sub-treasury section of

feated by the Hall men.
First-We demand the abolition
of national banks; We demand that
the government shall establish sub
treasures or repositories in the
several states, which shall loan
money direct to the people at a low
rate of interest, not to exceed 2'per
cent per annum, on nonperishabie
products and also upon real estate,
with proper limitations upon the
quantity of land and amount of
money; we demand that the amount
of the circulating medium be speed
lily increased to not less than $50
per capita.
Second-We demand that con.
gress shall pass such laws as shall
effectually prevent the dealing in
futures on all agricultural and me.
chanical productions; preserving a
stringent system of procedure in
trial such Al shall secure promp,
conviction and imposing such pen.
altles as shall secure the most per.
feet compliance with the law.
Third-We condemn the silver
bill recently passed by congress and
demand in lieu therefor the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
Fourth-We demand the passage
of laws prohibiting alien ownership
of land, and that congress TAXI
prompt action to devise some plar
to obtain all lands now held b,
railroads and other corporations il

by the government and held by act
ual settlers only.
Fifth-Believing in the doctrine
of "equal rights to all and specia

necessary expenses of the govern
ment economically and honestl,
administered.

ional governmental control ant
