RAIN MAKING INJSO VTH DAKOTA.
The farmers in South Dakota held a
mass meeting lately at which all the
counties in the Black Hills dintriot were
represented. The meeting was called
to make arrangements with rain-maker
Melburne for the supply of a specified
amount of artificial rain. It id said to
have been the largest gathering ever
held in that part of the state." Great en
thnsiasm was manifested, whether
evolved from their necessities or based
Ttpon actual tests we are not told, but
there was sufficient faith to secure
pledges of $5000 from a single county.'
Little interest was manfiested in an
irrigation convention that was held soon
after. The simpler, or at least cheaper
scheme of the rainmakers caught the
farmers' preferences, and they give no-
tice to those who laugh at their credulity
that the laugh will be on the other side
before the ides of June. So mote it be.
' We have it from a perfectly reliable
source that only a few days ago an agent
of the Union Pacific visited Goldendale
to work that town in the interest of his
company by offering inducements to the
merchants to ship their goods to Grants
instead of to Rockland by the new nav
igation company. Three of the mer-
. chants, whose names we have hot been
able to learn, entered into the arrange
ment. Of course this means the cutting
. of rates below the regular schedule,
which is a direct violation of the inter
state commence law. . Our informant
says arrangements were made' with the
Goldendale papers to say noth'.ng about
' the visit of the agent. Of course they
xnay not have known his business and,
nowever mat may De, notbing. is said;
but it is beyond a reasonable doubt that
the professed friends of the new boats
will have ample opportunity, during the
coming summer, to prove the reality of
their profession, by their works. Every
1 thing indicates that the Union Pacific
will make a terriffic fight to drive the
.new boats off the river.
The Eugene Guard says : "The passage
of the McKinley tariff bill is followed by
the lowest price of cotton ever know, be
ing below the cost of production, and in
consequence, business is in a very '.e-
' pressed condition in the cotton states."
The passage of the McKinley tariff bill
is followed by the lowest price of sugar
and the lowest price of nearly -every
thing on the McKinley tariff schedule
ever known. In consequence the busi
iness of the country was never in so
. prosperous a condition. We offer the
Guard excerpt a sample of what some
free trade papers knows about the
McKinley tariff. It would spoil it to
remind the Guard that cotton is on the
free list :

A FACT FROM OVER THE SEA.
The People, a paper published, in the
town of Wexford, Ireland, in its issue of
February 3rd inst., prints the following
advertisement : - "Wanted a good mason
and plasterer. Wages,' one v pound, per
week and accomodation, v -Apply to -the
steward, Johnstown Castle." One
pound a week $4.84--less than five dol
lars for six days work, working not less
than tea hours a day, and often twelve.
The wagesof a brick mason in this city are
fS for a day of eight hours ; a stone mason
gets 5 for a day of nine hours, and a
plasterer $5 for a day ef eight. Accom
odation in the- advertisement means a
place to sleep and does not include
board. Even at $3 a day the wages of a
mason in The Dalles is more than -700
per cent, higher than they are in Wex
ford, and yet these same Irishmen come
over to this' country in ; thousands . and
vote for free trade;-' ,

Toledo, O., Feb. 25. The name of
Grover Cleveland will be presented in
the Chicago convention by Frank Hurd,
unless the programme arranged at the
Ann ji.rbor conference this week is up
set. Mr. Hurd said last night: "lam
heartily desirous of seeing Mr. Cleveland
placed in nomination, and shall do every
thing I can to assist him. I think Hill
will have no show against him. New
York may want Hill, but the great West
will rush like a whirlwind to the ex-
president's support. He can be elected
without any help from Tammany."
The Mic-Mac Glee Club promise a
rich musical treat to all 'who attend the
concert to be given next Monday even

Sunday school. Miss Lang has kindly
assumed charge oi tne instrumental
portion of the programme, and , Mrs.
Loch head is training the vocalists. Miss
Meyers will sing a very bright and pretty
new song caned "lne .Devoted Apple."
Mrs. Bradshaw has been erood enough to
promise a vocal solo, and a contralto solo
will be given by Miss Urandall.- Mr,
Charles Clark, assisted by Messrs.' Win-
terton (Jurtis and V ictor Marden will
make the Court house rine with the
stirring strains of VNahcy Lee." The
