No Free Seed.

Commissioner of Agriculture Nj. c.
Rankin announces that he will not
send out gratuitous garden seed to
people over the State this season, as
has been the custom of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in the past. He
declares that the purpose of sending
out fire eseed has been to secure reports
of the best varieties so that the depart
ment would be enabled to deal intelli-
getty with the seed and recommend
the best kinds to the farmers of the
state. Practically no reports were
received, however, the recipients Of the
seed apparently believing themselves
the beneficiaries of these gratuities of
the department, and letting it 20 at
that.
The department has gotten good re-
suits from seed corn which it sent out
last year, and will supply it in a
reasonable degree and where record
can be kept of it, and the rasult.
This corn is not to be distributed in
Discriminatory, however, but will be
sent to certain counties of the State
where corn growing contests were moi
held last year.

Saws our esteemed contemporary
the Hartford Republican,:
1t is all right for the State
Legislature to grant pensions
to the Confederate soldiers
and raise the salaries of the
Circuit Judges $1,000 per year,
and it will no doubt, create
a still heavier Indebtedness,
but will our Democratic
friends charge this up to
Republican state administra-
ton as they have the other
enormous indebtedness created
by the last legislature?
The Democrats have never charged
anything against a Republican ad-
ministration only what was justified
by the facts. The matters mention
ed being equitable, there will be no
complaint from Democratic quarters
But how about that $3S9,19S.9j OF
the States money which Gov. Will
son reclllessly spent on soldiers for
might rider" troubles? Ought not
that be charged up to a Republican
administration?

ural place for the collection Of tribute
and taxes. These imposts were to the
Jews pre-eminently distastef,ll. They
We're not only badge Of servitude, but
they were daily witness that God
seemed to have forsaken His people. The
mere payment Of such imposts wore to
the Jews almost the appearance Of apos-
tasy. The Jew who would stoop to the
position of a tax gatherer was accounted
the vilest Of the vile. He became an
to enter the synagogues or temple, or to
take any part in the public prayers, nor
were offerings accepted from him.
Such q one was Matthew. His selection
sure to intensity the hatred of the rulers.
But Christ had read the heart of Mat
thew. He had seen there the elements
out OF which might be made loyal dis
ciple. He was seeking men. He must
needs have those who would be pillars in
the temple not made with hands. The
choice Of Matthew embodied visibly
Christ's love for sinners 1t said, palmer
than words. that the new kingdom was
open to all believers. And Christ made
no mistake. Matthew was not only a
true disciple. but he became the earliest
biographer Of His Savior and Lord.
The statement in the lesson gives the
barest outline Of the occurrence. We
author. Mark. 2:14. and Luke, 5:27. give
us a more detailed account. Behind most
important events there are those that are
preparatory. Matthew had doubtless seen
and heard Christ. His mind had been
busy with the strange things that he had
heard. And when the Master gave the
brief command. Follow me-" Matthew
was quite prepared to obey. His sur
render was instantaneous and absolute.
His break with the old life was COM
plete and irrevocable.
Ruskin, In his terse way, puts it thus:
Jesus said, Come up higher, thou, for
there are nobler treasures than these
to count, and q nobler king than this to
account to. Thou hast been faithful
over few things, enter thou into the
JOY of the Lord
Here was moral miracle. 1t was
greater than the healing OF the paralytic
or the deInoniac Of Gadara. Matthew was
new man in Christ Jesus From
publican in the employ of Rome. to an
apostle of Jesus, to a servant and heir
of the King OF Kings.
