RELIGION GOES HIGH
IN NASHVILLE.

Gypsy Smith, the English eyangel-
list, concluded his four meeks q
preaching in Nashville last Sunday
night and at the close was given elev-
en- thousand dollars and coop OF
chickens and another thousand for his
wife in England.
Gypsy Smith is a wonderful man
and powerful preacher-but there is
danger in that much money being paid
for a good service, while ii might not
be too high for bad service of equal
magnitude, for the devils most allur-
ing manner of payment is in money.
Had it been for charity, for church
building, for an orphan asylum or for
a widows home, it would have been
splendid even for Nashville, but it was
too much money to pay for relig-
ious service. We hope, we believe that
Gypsy Smith did noog in Nashville
but still it does not look consistent to
pay him twelve thousand dollars and
coop of chickens when we remem-
Der the statement of Holy Writ that
Christ Himself when on Earth Had
not where to lay his head"-much less
take rooms in the Hermitage Hotel.
More than $25, 1000 was raised Incl
dent to the meeting, about half of it
going to meet the expenses outside of
the preacher.

GET FREE SEEDS.

The Congressional appropriation
bill again contains the free seeds item
and we notice that some papers are
attacking it-giving various reasons
against it. One reason urged against
the practice and appropriation is that
Congressman and Senators from the
industrial sections, who have no use
for seeds, get the allotment just like
those from the rural districts, and
swap their allotments to other con-
gressment for favors of various kinds.
Our observation of the free seed
distribution is that it is not a fake,
but one of the very few means by
which the people see coming back to
them a little of their own money. The
seeds from the government are as
good as those sold from the boxes OF
Ferry and other seed growers and
when a gardner, farmer or florist gets
a package of them he is just five to
ten cents ahead. The people enjoy
receiving the seeds, are benefited by
the use of them and as the people pay
for the seeds, as they do for every
thing else, we say let 'em have 'em.
The appropriation is but $500, 600
and the president is wanting to give
S60, ,000, 900 as a bonus or subsidy to
the shipping interests.
