APOLOGETIC.

At the Democratic meeting last night. its
presiding officer, Judge Rochester, charged
yesterdays PosT-ISTELLIGEScER with the
utterance of a "lie." He was TOO polite to
qualify the expression, or to specify to
what he took exceptions, but said he would
prove his assertion by introducing Colonel
Chandler. Hence it is inferred that the
alleged falsehood was in the statement that
the gallant Missourian had been snubbed
for his recreancy to the Washington
standard OF Democracy in respect TO
Cleveland and free trade.
The PosT-INTELLIeENcER is perfectly
willing to accept the introduction Of Colonel
Chandler and its consequences IS a test of
veracitv in this matter. The Colonel has a
high reputation as a FIERY orator. His
chief renown is as an advocate of freedom
OF opinions and freedom in expressing
them. The audience that heard Judge
Rochester's g~entlemanly expression and
the speech that followed, are left to Judge
how much fire" there was in the Colonel,
oratory, and as 10 the freedom with which
he expressed his opinions on leading men
and measures. No dispassionate heareI
could refrain from sincere sympathy foI
one who had come so far in answer to W.
gent entreaties to be muzzled and gagged
Confined to an antiquarian discourse OIL

stitution, to platitudes about local sci,

exhibition of his unquesiioned ability.

he, with evident trepidation, gave hasty
assurance that he was not going TO discuss
it. "In private, at our homes, we will belp
each other to reach the truth by the differ.

this brave man was compelled to dispose of
that vital issue.
This may meet Judge Rochester's and
Colonel Chambers and the Washington

CHURCHES with Iassitgde- He had said they

the churches, he had eontended, were hk the
Ereonant who fell out of a b~slloon-nos In IL
And he also spoke about mortgages the cevA
holds on certain church members.
All his talk had so much OF the intoierant
spiriE OF the fanatic In iI, and so little regard for
the opinions of church people who did not
agree with his opinions of reforming all crea-
ton with one blow, that il became decidedly
offensive TO the church members present Ae-

WASHINGTON AND OREGON CON-
TRAsTED.

Among recent visitors in Seattle and
other parts Of Washington, was the editor
of the Portland Orcgoninn. who like other
visitors, saw much 70 admire in the amaz-
ing progress recently made and still
making. Mr.. Scott had q special advantage
from the fact that this was not his first
visit, and that he was able to o n
trast the present with the past
and 10 compare the development
here with the slower development in his
own state OF Oregon. Since his return to
Portland he has been giving through the
Oyeg0nian, the results Of his observation
and his most notable article we reprint this
morning. In this article he frankly ac-
knowiedges that Washington has far sur
passed Oregon, and credits this fact to the
difference between the fiscal legislation of
the two states.
Washington invites capital and sets up
no restriction against it in the form Of on
erous legislation. Oregon. on the other
hand, has a series OF laws discriminating
against capital and burdening it with
special taxation. Tbs result is manifest in
the free inflow of foreign money into WASH
ington and by the reverse in Oregon.
While all this is true. it is only part OF
the truth. The real reason why Washing
ton surpasses Oregon is because Washing
ton Is the better state OF the two. at
every point Of comparison it has clear
and positive advantage. Oregon is almost
wholly an agricultural state and its agricul-
turc is Of a sort in which large areas OF
country must be employed in the produc-
ton of things comparatively of small value.
Grain and wool are the great industries of
Oregon, and in each of these industries
there is one annual harvest. For one or
two months in the year the producers have
ready money and during the other ten or
eleven months they are without it.
In Washington the situation is wholly
different. Here We nave a multiplicity of
industries based on a great variety OF
natural resources. Our timber in
dustry. our coal industry, our min
ing industry, our sea-fishing indus
try-these are not dependent upon the sea-
sons, but are pursued equally at all seasons
and yield continuous profits. Crops" in
Washington mature every thirty days and
the result is a freer circulation of money
and q larger earning power of equal
capital.
Even in the matter OF agriculture, Wash
ington Is able to make favorable compari-
son with Oregon. We have not in Western
Washington broad praries like those OF the
Willamette valley, but such lands as we
have are far richer than those of Oregon,
producing crops of much greater value in
proportion to the acreage employed.
Five acres of hop land in the Puy-
allup, White river, S~noqualmie or
skagit valley will yield in one
year a product equalling in value the
annual yield of the best 100 acre wheat
farm in Oregon. Our lands are of a sort
upon which a vast amount of labor may be
proftably employed.
We have an advantage. it is true, in the
matter OF fiscal legislation, an advantage
which We trust viii be long maintained,
bat our chief advantage is found in the i'm
mense superiority and variety of our nat
ural resources.

THE LAND OF BURNING CORN.

Where the p~rairies OF Kansas stretch away
Their leagues OF hilloeK and plain;
Where winds from the Rocky Mountains play
With forests OF waving graia:
Ger a cabin roof, as Ca lignt broke,
In the Stiffness OF early morn,
| saw e wreath OF pale blue smoke
The smoke OF the burning corn.
Within. with forms that are pinched and gaunt,
A farmer stands, and his wife:
Her cheeks are pallid with care and want,
Though she's de rer TO him than lie;
And by them a baby lies asleep
Alasi that children are born
Where fathers toll and mothers weep
BY the light OF the burning corn.
They have made them a fire Of yellow ears.
And cooked q morsel of meat.
A breakfast so scant that 1t scarce appears
Enough for q child to eat.
But work they must as long as there's light.
For this is their fate ~foriorn,
To toll by day and hunger by night
In the land Of the burning corn.
All day the husband must work in the fields,
But what will his labor earn?
For the richest harvest the earth can yield
Is useless, except 90 burn.
And the wife viii strive with q voman's art
Their poor, rough home to adorn,
For love will Iinger, though hopes depart
From the land of the burning corn.
She VIII sit by his side at the close of day.
And smooth with her gentle hand
Those hairs that are growing so thin and gray
In the toll of this terrible land.
Is IL strange that sonnet. mes her eyes grow dim
As she thinks of the wedding morn.
When she LEFT her home TO come with him
To the land of the burning corn7
Do you ask me why such things must be
In the heart OF the fertile West,
Where God 10 honored and man 10 free.
And there's safety for ali oppressed;
While Tar in the East there are host of men
Whose faces, SO pinched and worn,
Would be lighted with glainess once again
Conld they eat of the burning corn?
Go ask of the men who make our laws.
Who sit in the rulers place.
But care no whit for the peoples CAUSE
Or the groans of a trsmpled race.
Their mt assure of wealth is flied well nm
From Plenty's afiueuI horn,
And naught care they how men may sun
In the land of the burning corn.
@, proud, cold men, you dine in state.
And are dainty clothed and fed,
It's little you care for the poor mana fate
Though his children cry For bread.
It's little you Know of mortgage or debt.
And you crush with pitiless scorn
The wretch who wrestles with hunger and SWEAT
In the land OF the burning corn.

Whitman county, WASH, has furnished an ex-
ample of the marvellous productive powers OF
the Palouse county soil. He has just finished
threshing f~orty-six acres Of Little Gu wheat,
which yield an average of sixty-six bushels and
four pounds per acre. The field was summer
fallowed last year and sown in the fall. Previous

wheat. In proof of this report Mr.. Hill signifies
his willingness TO make affidavit supporting il
