THE CRY OF THE GRAIN
BY John M. Dornsy.

Low hangs the crescent moon in west
ern sky,
The myriad stars are twinlling.
shining bright,
Strange sounds are heard in cedar
woods hard by,
AS from a furnace Is the breeze Of
night
An owl is hooting in the ruined tower,
The cricket's call is sounding loud
and drear;
There's mystery in the silent midnight
hour;
hear strange murmurs in the corn
field near.
Didst ever listen to the growing corr? ?
Hast heard the murmurs mid the
growing wheat7
At midnight hour, or just before the
morn
Go listen, and strange wonders you
will meet.
Down in the earth where lies the
rotted grain,
The roots are travelling through the
heated earth;
There's song of JOY or is 1t song Of
pain?
For here potential men are given
birth.
ola Mother Earth gives birth to future
men;
Her consorts are: the sun. the air
the rain;
The roots strike deep, the plants ex-
pand, and then
We see the waving fields OF billowy
grain.
The corn and wheat are tortured In
tho mill.
And from the grain the world Sc
cures its bread;
In truth this field grows men; Of
heart and win,
Men laugh and cry. then lie down
with the dead.
wonder as ! stand in field alone.
And gaze on blazing worlds in yon-
der sky.
/ And list to murmurs, now a laugh
a groan.
Anon amid the wheat hear sigh.
Strange fancy this that comes amid
the grain.
And yet the thought is not without
its grace;
Perhaps those mystic signs and sounds
OF pain
Are cries Of sorrow for the human
race!

FEDERATION 1N PoLITIcs.

TN THE addresses at the meetings held under

Labor to protest against recent decisions OF ule
Supreme Court the burden OF the remarks was
an appeal to union men and their friends ior po,

along the same line, evidently under INSTRUCTIONS
from the high officials of the Federation.
Action at the ballot-box is urged, and It IS the
ournose of the Federation to make itself telt III

districts and elect some of their friends 70 Con

Some Of the speakers at the Federation meet
ings also called attention TO the vital human side
Of labor They criticized the courts for consider
ing labor in the class of things. In this criu-
cism the speakers are supported by the writings
Of the best and later day political economists.
The human element involved in labor is put for

ton to debase the rights of property the rights
Of men are dwelt upon more than ever
In this connection it is true that courts have
not kept pace with the thoughts of economic

HIoH Rents FoR SNAIL PROPERTIES.

+ HE practice of charging high rents for col
4 ored people, which is largely followed in
the cities, is attracting attention in Richmond,
Virginia, where something is to be done to re-
lieve the negroes of the orasping extortons of
landlords An effort is making in Richmond to
provide an additional residential region for the
colored people. The Richmond Journal favoDs
the plan, mot only" it says, because of the pre-
vailing congestion but because OF the fierce rents
now demanded of the humbest class in the COM
munity." The Richmond Journal adds that the
general public is in ignorance of the enormous
net percentage made out Of negro tenants. In
one part of Richmond the rental of houses jump
ed from SI2.5o to $40 a month, and the rents
charged for lofts would put to blush the land
lords were names and accusing figures pub
lished."
What is said Of Richmond would apply to
certain set Of landlords in other cities through
out the country. The poorer the family the
greater seems to be the disposition to squeeze
high percentage in the form of rent on the money
invested in properties that are occupied by this
class.
