The TARIFF IN THE BIBLE.

A writer in the Inter-Ocean, an
swering the statement that there is
no reference to the tariff in the Book
of Books, says:
The word tariff may not be in the
Bible, nor do / think you could find
the word Methodistthere. However,
if you find the 9th chapter of Mat
thew you may become convinced that
custom houses existed in the time of
the Savior, and he chose Matthew,
whom he found "sitting at the receipt
of CUSTOM" for his first disciple. A
learned Methodist minister long ago
sent me the following, which l copy:
"Some one asked His disciples if
the Master paid tribute. When His
disciples came unto Him He gave
them this question: 'Of whom do
the kings of the earth receive trib-
ute, of their own children or OF
strangers?' They say to Him: 'Of
strangers He replied; Then are
the children free. 4"

A country editor in the territory,
it is said, has returned to the secre-
tary Of the Albuquerque far com,
plimentary ticket donated last year,
with this note:
"Dear Sir:-I used this comp
last year at your track during the
fair. Accept thanks for the same.
1t is all that have to show for
1900. Happy new year. You
need not send me one for 1892.
Yours truly, Retired Sport"
The only week spot in this'touch-
ing little story is the amount of the
losings of the country editor. Had
the narrator named Sl.20 as the
sum dropped" the unities, as the
French say, would have been pre-
served.

The COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS.

The late Senator Plumb, it is said,
was a subscriber to 500 weekly
newspapers, and read every one. He
is quoted as saying:
81 believe in the local newspapers.
They are the leaders, the makers of
public sentiment. They are nearer
to the people than any other papers.
The editors mingle with the people
and, consciously or unconsciously,
reflect the views of their readers.
BY my private letters from all parts
of the state and by reading the local
newspapers l can tell just what the
people are talking and thinking
about. | can feel the pulse of the
people and take their temperature.
/ am amazed, too, at the excellence
of our country papers. The majority
of them are carefully, ably edited.
They not only print the news of the
neighborhood, but have opinions
which | find it worth my while TO
read and reflect upon. l get no bet
ter return for any of the money |
spend than for that which l pay out
forth local newspapers Of my state. "
