WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Secretary Rusk
to-day in answer to a senate resolution,
communicated to the senate the report Of
the special agent of the department. of ae-
ricuiture upon the rainmaking experiment.
Gen. Dryenfurth, who was in charge of the
experiments, in summing up their results
says: "Ihe few experiments made do not
furnish sufficient data from which to form
definite conclusions or evidence upon which
to uphold or condemn the theories of ar
titiclal production or increase of rainfall by
concussion. What has been done so far ia
altogether preliminary, but with tho benefit
of the experience gained, hope the subject
will be pursued"

FARMERS SIDE,
where We are, hoW ne got here,
and the wdy out"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
Q. 9, ENATo IRON KANSAS.
12mO, cloth Price, s1.OO.

There Is a demand for g comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARMER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition Of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost Of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages and rates of interest.
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In a clear, forcibls
style, with abundant citations of facts and fC-
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of "The Way out,'
which Is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation Of the aims and views of the Farmers'
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions Of the currency, the questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and ether matters of vital consequence.
hi book is the only one which attempts 70
cover the whole grOund, andit is unnecessary
to emphasize It's value. u 4 e~OmPOndium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought 10 have at hand

Of $50 peges. We have arranged With the pub
EsheS for its sale 70 our readers &C the pub

BUFFALO, April 5.-An enthusiastic
meeting of anti-Hill democrats was held
Ia Music Hall tonight. Nearly two
thousand men hastily organized clubs,
headed by the Cleveland democracy, es-
corted the speakers, ex-Secretary Fair
child and ex-Mayor William R. Grace, of
New Y York, to the hall. The Polish demo-
cratic clubs were about one thousand
strong.
The meeting was called to order by
John Ehrlbacker, chairman of the anti
1iill county committee, and Mayor c. f.
bishop was made chairman. A large
Hst Of vice-presidents, three hundred in
| Number, embraced the name of General
Field, the commissioner of public works
Abram F. Kerr, leading wholesale
liquor dealer, moved the adoption of the
| resolutions. They were seconded by
At6nzs K. JARVIS, pesident of the Ameri-
can Millers' association. A resolution
was also adopted warning the local mem
bers of the legislature against passing
any charter amendment not sanctioned
i by the local authorities.
/ The defeat of the Silver bill and the
reinstatement of the tariff as the leading
issue was taken by e1-Mayor Grace as
the text of his speech and as a ground
! for the encouragement of the Cleveland
ties.
The county democracy of New York
came in for some praise, and the So called
snap" convention was denounced.
The nomination of Grover Cleveland,
with no second choice, was urged as the
salvation of the democratic party.
Ex-Secretary Fairchild lauded Tilden
and condemned the alleged conspiracy
of Tammany and the "Big Four" to gain
control of the state.
"The fraud of 1876'' and other republi-
can crimes also came in for hard words
Cheers for Cleveland frequently inter.
rupted the speakers.
