When Kansas cuts her corn.
With songs of hope We'll hail the sun
That visits us each morn;
At eve We'll rest with duty done
When Kansas cuts her corn.
With none to hinder or modest,
Each man who earns shall share the best,
With some to cheer the cherished guest,
When Kansas cuts her corn.
Our smiles will blossom day and night;
No more We'll be forlorn;
Each home shall ring with laughter light
When Kansas cuts her corn.
Through breaking mists we will discern
The nobler heights for which we yearn,
With time to live and love and learn,
When Kansas cuts her corn.

PLAN OF THE OPPOSITION.

The plan of the Atlanta Constitution
to Republican Legislation in Congress
looking to the fulfllment of promises
made in the st. Louis platform is gener,
ally endorsed by the leaders of Demo
cracy throughout the country, and such,
there is now every reason to believe, will
he the policy of the opposition for the
next two years ut Least. This seems to
be reasonable and proper way to look
ut the MATTER and in agreeing to do so
there will be no sacrifice of principle on
the part of Democrats or the opponents
of Republicanism generally. In the late
campaign each party had plan which it
was claimed would promote the prosper
ity of the country, and both of these
plans were fully presented to the people
of the country by their ablest men, AT
ter hearing all of these questions dis
cussed ut length, the voters of:thc nation,
by substantial majority, decided in fa-
vor of the Republican schemes for pro-
noting the public welfare, and it now
remains for them to be carried out
The Wanted prosperity which Repub-
lican orators assured us was coming with
lightning speed OH the simple endorse,
ment of the policy which they advocated,
has not yet arrived, and, beyond the nat
ural recuperative powers of an energetic
and progressive people, there are so far
M G. pf ~ 0nnH
confidently predicted by the sanguine Lead
ers of the Z. o. p. AS, however, they
have had no chance thus far of carrying
out their schemes by Legislative enact
ments, it would manifestly be impolitic
for their opponents to interpose factious
objections. On the contrary it is the
duty Of all good citizens, to whom the
prosperity of the country is of paramount
importance, to give the Republicans an
open field for the trial of their expert
ments, and then, if the success they pre-
dict is not arrived ut the people will be
sure to hold them responsible for the fail
ure.
While it is hardly probable that the gen
ernl business depression which has PEE
vailed for the past four years or more
will'continue for tie same period with.
out some spirit of real activity, the vot
ers Of the country are intelligent enough
to decide upon the causes, and will be
certain to arrive ut II correct conclusion
in..regard 10 them. Hence, while the pco-
pie of the country are awaiting with anX-
iety the result of the expected Republi-
can legislation, they are not so blinded
by partisan feeling rs to accept results
from causes with which they arc in no
WY connected.
They know something of the evils of
protection in fostering monopolies and
promoting trusts, and if the increase of
these, with all theattending injustice and
oppression of the masses, is TO be too
much il evidence, a verdict of disar-
proval will be certainly rendered ut IL .
proper time. Many doubt Republican
sincerity in the matter. of bimctallism,
and the course of the party in that drcc-
ton will also he watched with interest
and anxiety
On the whole, for the next four years,
the Republican party will be on it's good
behavior, us its continuance in power
after that time will depend entirely upon
it's management of the vast and impor-
tRnt interests submitted to its care
