A GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS.

Commissioner CoLMAN commences well
by urging the abandonment of the present
method of distributing seed from the agri-
cultural bureau through members of con
gress. This abuse has grown until con-
gressmen have come to rely on the agricul-
tural bureau as their chief source of sup
ply for campaign documents. Speaking of
this subject the Philadelphia Times says:
1T Is difficult TO understand how any conStit
uent can be so yerdant as TO allow himself
to be caught by a little bag of seed which is
far more likely TO be worthless than good.
But that some otherwise sensible men are so
caught is certain. There is no more reason
why the government of the United States
should furnish seed for raising sorghum. for
instance, than that it should give each of its
citizens as many pounds of sugar as would
naturally be raised from this seed under
the most favorable conditions. Yet for
many years large sum of money has been
appropriated TO enable senators and repreSen-
tatives to play upon the sensibilities of their
constituents without any cost to themselves.
The same is true of that ridiculous publi-
cation known as the Agricultural Report,
made up of stale and long-winded essays
which have been read before some county
fair or have made their way back as re-
jected manuscripts from the offices
of numberleSs newspapers devoted TO
farming. The memory of man does
not run back far enough 10 re-
call good. well-written and timely contri-
button to the literature of agriculture. Yet
this Volume is printed by the hundreds of
thousands each year. always from two 10
three years after its nominal date. 1t is IL
Illustrated at an expense and with a pro-
fusion which would be wastefully lavish in
really important and timely work, and
which, in such publication as this, is no
better than throwing money IN the flre.
IL both these sources of waste were cut
off the cost of the agricultural bureau could
be reduced to a reasonable figure. 1t is
true that the buying of seeds and the printing
of this report constitute about the only duties
of this bureau. But their excelsior would
make it much easier to bring about the
final abolition of this thing of gibe and ridi-
cule. 1t Is paying altogether too much fol-
the whistle when the only result of an ex-
penditure of large sums of money each year
is the distribution by congressman of a few
bags of seed or a great many useless and
costly books. The functions of govern
ment have become so widely extended dur
ing the last quarter of a century that it is
now in order TO begin TO restrict them and
leave afew things to private enterprise"

THE CONTRAST

There was a marked contrast in the OBJ
servance of yesterday by the two great
English-speaking nations. In England il
was gala day. In America it was day
of mourning. In England flags were fly
ing, cannon were firing, bells were ringing
and the jubilant populace shouting in honor
of a royal wedding. In America flags were
lowered at half-mast, bells were tOlling and
all the land was in mourning because a
mighty captain, and the nations hero, was
dead. In England the youngest prin-
cess of the royal family became
bride. In America the most illustriOus
citizen lay dead. And yet these events are
only typical of life. In a few years, at
most, the people who witnessed
the splendid pageant in England yesterday
in honor of the wedding of princess will
bow their heads in sorrow as an imposing
funeral train passes by bearing England's
queen to her last resting place among the
royal dead in Westminster. The time may
soon come when the young wife who gave
her troth to a princely husband will be
sitting, as Mrs. GRANT is to-day. by the bier
of her loved dead. Such is life. While
wedding bells are ringing on one side,
funeral bells are tolling on the other.

who live after him. From his grave there
will spring up the enduring and beautiful

Gen. GRANTS destiny is fixed. The book

a PERPLEXING PROBLEM.

1t must be very delicate problem in the
mind of a conscientious physician, in a case
where he knows that death is inevitable and
it is only question of prOlonging life for a
few hours, whether to apply the means
medical science has provided TO prOlong the
patients life and the agony of the death
struggle or whether by Withholding them
to allow the patient to die at once.
The natural instinct is to preserve life as
long as possible. The natural desire of
friends is TO keep the loved one here with
them as long as it can be done. Yet, after
all, when we look at ii purely in the light of
humanity, is it not better that the dying
patient be permitted TO pass away
peacefully and in ease, even though the
hour of dissolution be FASTENED, than by
prolonging life and thus prolOng the agony of
the death struggle? Is it not cruel to the
patient to infiict the pain of mustard plas-
tiers to the stomach and TO inject
stimulants into the veins when we know
that the grip of death is on him and it can
not be relaxed? These are perplexing
questions that deserve TO be discussed and
to be settled.
