The Senator then took The State’s stenographic report of the speeches, stating it to be absolutely correct, and showed that, according to it, Stokes had done him grave in justice, which he requested him to correct in The State, so that its read ers, who had been informed of his ed itorial, might see his reply, “I note,” hesaid, “that you predi cate your editorial upon the report in the News and Courier. This report was not a stenographic report and did not purport to be such, but it is not amenable to the construction you put upon it. The issue is between yourself and myself, and I will he obliged if you will give me your indi vidual recollection of what I said.

Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE HOW THEY MADE RAIN. thinfcfs thia Experiments at Midland, Texas, Brought to a Close. Midland, Tex., Aug. 30.—The par ty of scientists who, under the direc tion of Gen. R. G. Dyrenforth, came to this place about three weeks ago to try to produce rain by a series of pow- srful explosions, have virtually com pleted their experiments in this part of the country, having had every fa cility afforded them through the libe ral spirit of Nelson Morris. On the whole the experiments have been successful, but owing to the many un favorable conditions the work has been greatly delayed and hampered. Gen. Dyrenforth chose this particu lar place because he was assured that it seldom rained here at all, and that there had been no real good rain for over three years. At rare intervals there had been showers, but they were too few and far between and too small. When they came they did not do the country much good. Ow ing to the dryness of the weather there are few or no farms in this section, the prairie being given up entirely to cattle. The grass needs rain badly for these, and the cattlemen were ex tremely anxious that the rainmakers should try their skill on the lower edge of the staked plains. Last night the last of the experi ments here were conducted. The night was clear and not a cloud could be seen. The heavens were bespan gled with stars, and from all indica tions it was safe to predict that no rain would fall within forty-eight hours at (he least. A strong gale was blowing toward the west. Five bal loons were sent up and exploded and 200 pounds of rack-a-rock powder and 150 pounds of dynamite were set off on the grounds. There was, of course no immediate result. The ter was rising, and the needle was nf frlrO "Rtr propiiate tribunal than the conven tion. Col. Livingston was a candi date for re-election, and it was fair to presume that the convention was interested iu knowing whether he was a fit man for president. It is probable that Gov. Northen took I hut view of the matter. He was mistak en. The convention, it is believed, did not intend to credit any charge the governor might make against Col. Livingston, and therefore refused to hear what he or his representatives had to say. It is probable, therefore, that the Tillmans and Senator Butler are wastiug their time in attacking Ma- cuneand other alliance leaders. And some of these leaders are undoubtedly trying to lead the alliance into the third party. If Mr. Polk, the president of the na tional alliance, is offered the presi dency of that party it is safe to pre dict that he will accept it. Much that he has said recently justifies such a prediction. And if he cannot get the nomination he will keep out of the Independent party and continue to anuouuce that lie is a Democrat. The Tillmans and Senator Butler, however, are doing a good work. They are arousing the democrats of their State to the necessity for action. If an attempt is made to force the Democratic party to indorse the sub treasury scheme it would be resisted, or if the so-called third party seeks to get a foothold in South Carolina It would not be as warmly welcomed as it would have been had the fight in which the Tillmans and Senator But ler are now engaged not been made.
