THE BURNING CORN.

Where the prairies of Kansas stretch away
Their leagues of hillock and plain;
Where winds from the Rocky mountains
play
with forests of waving grain;
Der a cabin roof, as daylight broke,
In the stiffness of early morn,
saw wreath of pale.blue smoke
The smoke of the burning corn.
Within, with forms that are pinched and
gaunt,
farmer stands, and his wife;
Her cheeks are pallid with care and want,
Though she's dearer to him than life;
And by them baby lies asleep
Alas that children are born
Where fathers toll and mothers weep
By the light of the burning corn.
They have mode them FIRE Of yellow ears,
And cooked morsel OF meat,
A breakfast so scant that it scarce appears
Enough for child to eat.
But work they must as long as there's light
For this is their fate forlOrn,
To toll by day and hunger by night
In the land OF the burning corn,
All day must the husband work in the fields
But what will his labor earn?
For the richest harvest the earth can yield
Is useless, except to burn.
And the wife will strive, with woman's art,
Their poor, rough home to adOrn,
For love will linger, though hope depart
From the land of the burning corn.
She will sit by his side at the close of day,
And smooth with her gentle hand
Those hairs that arc growing so thin and
gray ....
In the toll of this terrible land
Is it strange that sometimes 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 corn?
% you ask me why such things must be
In the heart Of the fertile west,
Where God is honored and man is free,
wAnd there's safety for all oppressed;
While far in the east there are hosts of men
Whose faces are pinched and worn,
Would be lighted with gladness once again
Could 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 trampled race.
Their measure of wealth is filed well up
From Plenty's afBuent horn,
And naught care they how men may sup
In the land Of the burning corn.
o proud, cold men, you dine in state,
And are daintily clothed and fed,
IT'S little you care for the poor mans 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.
But there'll come day when the peoples
cry
Will be heard in your marble domes,
And the tariff wall you have built so high
In its falling will crush your homes.
For God is God and his arm is strong,
And though he has long forborne,
He will smite to the earth this terrible
wrong
In the land of the burning corn.

Quite a gathering of old time Kan
sans took place in the Agricultural
Committee room of the House last
Monday. There was the Hon. Jas. F.
Legate of Leaven worth county,
BILLY" Buchan of Wyandotte county,
General Rice of the States of Kansas
and Mississippi, Judge Emery of Doug
las county, Ed. Smith, of Linn coun-
ty, State Senator R.R.Hayes of Osborn
county, General Taylor of Reno coun-
ty, "Bob" Stevenson of Allen county,
the clerk of this committee, and your
humble correspondent.
After discussing the gall of Col. d. r..
Anthony in asking for the Leaven-
worth. post-office again, the nerve Of
Governor Humphrey in pardoning the
confessed whiskey dealer Cohn at
Lawrence, the posing of Webb McNall
of Smith county as the farmer candi-
date for Congress, the scheme of
General Rice to build a railroad down
in the Mississippi bottom twenty feet
under water, the prospect of the new
post-office building at Lawrence, with
both papers making a fight ON the
present member of the House, it was
unanimously voted that "Jim" Legate
and General Rice were both "original
packages"
To show you that favOrs are not al
ways justly distributed, I only need
to call your attention to two pension
bills recently reported upon favorably
by the House Committee ON Pensions
and passed.
b. +. Hillker, a member of the 9Th
Wisconsin Infantry, was shot in the
mouth, he applied for pension which
was granted by the pension bureau,
and not being enough, he goes to Con-
gress for a special bill and is granted
So per month, although in possess
sion of both hands and feet, eyes and
plenty of lip, even if he does take his
food. in a "liquid form" and he is
possessed of several thousands of dol
lars i'm this worlds goods and certainly
does not need the care and attention
of another person to entitle him to this
rating.
Thos. H. Gohagan, member of the
18th Kansas Infantry, was granted by
this same Committee $40 per month.
Mr.. Gohagan is blind and needs the
constant care and attention of another
person, and Is not possessed of five
hundred dollars worth of property in
the world. Now both of these soldiers
have had their claims rejected by the
pension bureau for some defect, and in
goiug to Congress for relief are placed
on the same footing. Why should the
man possessed of all his faculties, able
to earn living as well as the best of
us, be granted S72, while the help
less, blind, dependent soldier, abso-
lutely unable to earn dollar, is grant
ed $40.

services, upon the invitation of Farra-
gut Post of this Department, but /

Naturally taking it for granted that

Kansas Republicans than Mr.. Ander-

members of the delegation for success

Representatives, there is nothing

or to secure, and what they cannot

the subject of per diem service PEN
sions and the free coinage of silver, de-
handing both, as well as being with
the people on every question of the
rights of the many against the en-
croachments of the few.
Mr.Funston is in a position to do the
farmers more good than any other man
by reason of his high position on the
committee on agriculture and his prac-
teal knowledge of farming and long
in State and National legis-
coupled with his scholarly
ability and common sense. He is
example of bona .fde
farmer as successful legislator in
in Congress. The delegation will be
weakened by the loss of old members
in the next House and the best inter-
ests of the State at large demand the
retention of the present members from
the districts where nominations have
not yet been made.
