cnpN EnR EnEI.-

There are places in the West and
Northwest where scarcity OF fuel has
forced people to burn corn again this
winter. The frequent recurrence of the
fuel famine in those places leads CORE
spondent of the st. Paul Pioneer Press
to suggest what he calls practical solu-
ton of the problem. Coal cannot be
found, and the use of wood will soon ex-
haust the available supply of that arti :
Gle; corn is the only substitute, and
must be the fuel Of the future. For
stoves il is superior to any other sub
stance, hard coal alone excepted, and il is
cheaper than anything that is likely TO
be used for fuel. Two or three acres of
corn will afford an ordinary family q
years supply of fuel; and this writer
alleges that the same corn sold in the
market, and the proceeds turned into
either wood or coal, will not begin to do
it. OF course he speaks of the far north
prairies. Corn may be used in either
wood or coal stove without any change
of CRATES and makes & steady, hot fire,
which can be regulated as readily as a
coal fire. Two bushels ofcorn in the ear,
it is estimated, will keep a comfortable
fire the coolest day in winter. Regard
ing the soueamlshness about burning an
article that is used for food, the writer
says pointedly: II would sooner have
an acre of corn that can be replaced in a
single year than to burn an acre of tim
Der that it takes years to replace, even on
the score of sentiment" There is CON-
mon sense in this. If it is cheaper for
people on the fertile prairies to raise
their fuel, as they do their food, and save
what little timber they: have for other
purposes, sentimental. squeamishness
should not deter them from doing so.
More cooked food is daily thrown away
than would feed the hungry poor, and it
is sdone without compunction. While
there can be no excuse for this waste.
| fulness, there is good reason for burning
| corn when it Is more value as fuel than
the proceeds would be if used in the
purchase of wood or coal.

The mayor and concentrating indus
try in Emporia is progressing with suffi-
cient energy TO make up for lost time,
and bubbles are already rising to the sur
face of the political pot in reasonable
profusion. The public pulse, so far as
we have been able to feel it, seems to indi-
cate general desire that the candidates
be selected with aview, first, to their sim
gleness Ofpurpose as public servants; sec
ond, the possession of at least good COM
mon sense and average business qualii-
cations, and third. their freedom from
all alliances which would render them
subservient to cliques, rings and job
mongers. The only way to accomplish
this desirable end is for the whole PEG.
pie to interest themselves in the making
of the ticket, and TINS render i'm.
practicable the foisting of caucus candi
dates and the creatures of ward politi'
clans upon the public fopits suffrages.
The position of Emporla, at this criti
cal stage of its history, Is suoh that its in
terests demand the best efforts of its
best citizens, and the condition of the
municipal finances is such as to quite
preclude the idea of grinding any axe:
at the city's expense.
