Corn for Fuel.

NDEm ADE NWgh
In some parts Of tho State OF Kan
sns corn is commanding tho munif-
cent price Of ton cents per bushel, and
number of our exchanges are sorely
lamonting the fact that farmers in
such localities are burning il for fuel.
While admitting that il i5 cheaper
than coal in those sections Of the State,
they consider such use OF it a wicked
waste Of a Valuable agricultural pro-
duct They say "thO corn will keep,
and coal is good for nothing else but
fuel" If they would 30 q step furth-
or with their advice and tell these fur
mers where they are to got money to
buy coal while they are ''keeping" this
corn, their wise counsel would be much
more satisfactory. Many Of these
same papers are mourning the de-
parture Of tho distillOry from Kansas
because it consumed about ono per
cent OF the corn crop and thereby in
creased the market 10 that extent.
We opine that the consumption OF a
large amount of corn for fuel will
helm the market for the remainder of
the crop fully as much az It's consump-
tion for the manufature Of rot-gut
Whiskey, and at the sumo time avoid
the misery and crime that invariably
attend the distillory and the saloon.
1t is one thing to sit in a cozy Office
by a warm fire after a good dinner
and write advice to tho farmers for
the columns OF partisan press, and
quite another thing to go out on the
farm with limited means, and raise
corn for from ten TO sixteen cents por
bushel and keep family from starv-
ing or freezing to death We suggest
that it is about time for the partisan
press Of this country to let up on this
gratuitous advice to farmers, concern
ing matters Of which the writer's, Hs a
rule, know as little as they do about
the kingdom ofheavon, and turn their
attention to the causes that have re-
duced this great industrial interest to
deplorable condition.

perhaps longer. Mr.. Carlisle took until the
first of January. and / shall be doing well
if am able to make up the list in two
weeks. So far / have not been able to give
the matter one moments consideration
Then you do not look for much business
to be done until after the recesss"
Hardly. If the committees are appoint
ed in two weeks from now there will be
only few days left before the usual
Christmas recess is taken"
Are you likely to appoint the committee
on rules IN advance OF the other commit
tees, so that the rules can he modified be-
fore an attempt is made to do businessl"
Il am not prepared to say what may be
done, but it would not be surprising if the
committee on rules should be appointed in
the course of few days, so that the rules
could be revised while the House Is wait
ing for other business"
''Can you express any opinion OH the prob
able course of legislation this winter!o
ut would not be polite tor me to do so,
and In addition to that am not able to an
swer the question. This somewhat unne-
cessary contest land Mr.. Reed smiled at the
recollection of the tight has taken up. all
our time, and there has been nu oppor-
tunity for consultation. The views of
various members will have to be ascer-
tanned, and conflicting opinions reconciled.
Measures for which there seems to be
others may be dropped. With our small
majority there will have to be harmony
and conciliation if we are to accomplish
anything"
Mr.. Reed has received numerous tele-
grams of congratulation from all parts of
the country, and 1.-The original Reed man.
