we may be quite sure that it will
reveal a deplorable extent of illit
eracy, and even among ’ the white
population in many counties.
Our common school system,
though perhaps as liberally pro
vided for as the resources of-the
state and the condition of the peo
ple would allow heretofore, has
fallen far short of the popular
needs. Now is a good time to in
crease its capacity find efficiency.
The large increase; in the value of
taxable property arid the increased
rental of the State road, shortly to
be realized, will afford a larger
state appropriation for public
schools; and a close collection of
the poll taxes, devoted exclusively
to this object, would materially
swell the fund.
The time seems propitious, too,
for aiding the public.schools by lo
cal taxation. A very small tax,
augmenting but little the regular
state and county taxes, would go
far towards the imprbvement of
the school system, and the money
could not- be better applied. It
would come nearer home than any
other taxes in its direct applica
tion to the tax-payer’s own benefit.
But our material and our politi
cal condition calls for the better
and more general education of the
people. vWe are daily extending
our new industries, requiring
greater skill and education, than
the pursuits that have until recent
ly engaged the labor of most of our
people. These new industries are
needed to maintain the progress of
the state and the prosperity of the
agricultural interests. We have
to cpntend with the skilled labor of
other states in- establishing and
maintaining them, and odr ability
to do so will, in a great degree, de
pends upon the intelligence' of the
people.
Every interest—moral as well as
well as material—calls for a great
er effort and a larger expenditure
of money to advance'the education
al standard of the people. We
hope that this subject will receive
the attention of the next legislatui’e
as one of the most importane that
it has to deal with.

The Political Outlook.
Parry (Hiisonri) Enterprise.
There is ho question but that the
energies of the present administra
tion ahve been mainly directed to
the work of preparing for the per
petuation of the power of the plu
tocracy. Some of their schemes
are so manifestly fraudulent and
obnoxious that it is thought they
will work detriment rather thau .aid
to the party. The Federal Elec
tion bill has been set aside for the
present, but is likely to be revived
unless the election in November
resnlts in such a way as to show an
overwhelming repudiation of such
methods. In the manufacture of
four new states, however, for the
purpose of increasing their strength
in Congress and in the Electoral
College, the Republicans undoubt
edly gained a big advantage. Re
alizing thnt more votes would be
needed,-they-have so ordered the
census and Representative appor
tionment as to throw nearly all the
gain in States which-they consider
reliably Republican. Missouri,
New Jersey and Texas are the only
(heretofore) Democratic States
which get an additional vote in the
Electoral College, they- only one
more, while 14 votes are added to
the Republican States. All tbis
and more of the same character is
rather discouraging to the Demo
crats.
But there is a rilver lining to
this sombre cloud of facts: There
are the records of Cleveland aud
Harrison—i-the one urging legisla
tion tor the relisf of tha masses,
the other obedient to the dictates of
Eastern money barons. The official
acts of the one guided by the mot
to “Public office is a public trust,”
the other actuated by the patriot
ic ?) principle, “Self first, party
next, the poeple be .” Then,
there is the record of that sweet-
scented body, the Fifty-first Con
gress, with their leaders, treasury-
looter Quay and the moon-faced
despot from Maine. Not only have
these leaders brought the x ,ari: y
into discredit, but the body of the
party in the two houses, and espe
cially iu the lower, have passed
measures which the people of the
country know to be damaging to
their interests, aud contrary to
right principles of government.
This body has passed bills appro
priating four hundred millions of
dollars. It has added §50,000,000
annually to the pension list. It has
created over a thousand new offices
and has increased the perquisites
of those now existing. The party
has a bill almost through congress
which will increase taxes.it is said,
at least §75,000,000. Western Re
publicans, as well as; Democrats,
are demanding, a reduction of the
tariff on the necessaries of life.

The larger machine can cancel

trough, and another removing and

savers is illustrated by the fact
that the most rapid hand cannot
cancel more than 5,000 pieces an
hour. It is only the exceptional

collusion, the department where
the money is taken in is separated
by a wall from the room where the
clerks that give out the orders are
located. ? The orders are made up
from a duplicate of the stub re

latter are dropped in a little aper

to the uses for cork, and none of
the substitutes for it whici have
yet been tried are very satisfacto
ry or promise to take its place to
any great extent.
The latest estimates of existing
nreas of uvailable cork oak forests
make their extent from 3,300,000
to 3,500,000 acres, of which about
one-half, including those on its
African possessions, belong to
France. Tho wood of the cork
oak is he&vy, cross-grained, and of
a yellow-brown color; it shrinks
and warps badly in seasoning, and
decays rapidly when exposed to the
action of the atmosphere. It has
little value in the arts, but fur
nishes a useful fuel and makes
good charcoal. The inner bark
rich in tannin, and trees too old or
unfit to produce cork are ent for
the sake of the inner bark.

This is not a mere theory, as trees
have been growing how for several
years in California, and have al
ready produced crops of cork of
excellent quality. It is probable
that the tree will grow rather
more rapidly in California than it
does in its native country, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch, although the
quality of the soil, the exposure in
which the trees are placed, local
climate and the treatment which
the trees receive will influence, of
course, the rapidity with which
the bark is developed.

Four or five of us bought tickets
at Lonisville for Nashville, says a
writer in the New York Sun, and
as we walked about waiting for
train time a young man about 24
years of age, who was travelling
for a Richmond house, broke into
a chuckle and asked:
“Do you fellows believe that
houesty is the best policy?”
“Certainly,” wo replied m cho
rus.
“So do I—on certain occasions.
This isn’t one of the occasions,
however.”
We asked him to explain, but he
told ns to wait until we were off.
When that time came, he said:
“The ticket agent made a mis
take of just §4 in my case, and I
think it is all right to beat him.
The agent in Cincinnati once beat
me out of §5, so I am hardly
even.”
As he explained the case he
palled out a wad of bills and
coanted them, and all of a sadden
he turned pale, jumped to his feet
and gasped:
‘Great heaven! bat I’m left!”
How?”
‘Why,.I gave him a twenty in
stead of a ten, and instead.of my
beating him ont of §4 he’s knock
ed me ont of §8! Somebody hold
me, before I break loose and do
awful damage!”
Here is a witty answer by which
hero, whom Bismarck was com

rate with the Iron Cross of the

cellor’s attempt to chaff him. “I
am authorized,” said Bismarck to
him, “to offer you 100 thalers in
stead of the cross.” “How mnch
is the cross worth?” asked the sol
dier. “Three thalers.” “Very w.‘il,
then, your highness, Fll take the
cross and 97 thalers.” Bismirck
was so surprised and pleased by
the ready shrewdness of the reply
that he gave the man both the
cross and the money.

This subject, of late, is receiving
more or less attention in various,
and we might say, nearly every
section of the country, and espe
cially in the towns. This is spe
cially true relative to domertic ser
vants. The trouble does not grow
out of a demand for higher wages,
but out of the unsatisfactory ser
vices rendered for the wages paid,
and the failure of the servants to
keep contracts. Oftentimes the
madame awakens from a night’s
rest and repairs to the cooking
room to find the cook gone and
without notice. Not infrequently
the washer-woman fails to put in
an appearance, for which no rea
son is assigned. And oftener still
the services rendered by domestics
are anything else than satisfactory
and cn a par with the wager paid
for the same.
The negro has not yet learned
that ii25 hope for success is in good
and satisfactory service to his em
ployer, it matters not where or in
what department employed. The-
most of them seem to keep an eye
single to the pay they are to re
ceive and never an eye to the char
acter of the service they are per
forming.
The regime under which they
have been trained for the last quar
ter of a century is that, if dis
charged for inefficient and nnsatis-
factory service to-day, employment
at similar service can be obtained
to-morrow; or if service be wilfully
and deliberately abandoned with
out cause or provocation to-day,
employment in like service can be
obtained to-morrow. This is the
prime cause of the common und al
most universal trouble with do
mestic servants. Under such
training there is,-and can be, to
servants no stimulus to excellence
or superiority in services rendered;
there is nothing to beget in ser
vants a spirit of emulation, which
engenders classification of service
and regulation of wages. This -
evil can be remedied and ought to
be. The troubles on this line can
be obviated. But nothing short of
organization and unison of effort
growing ont of such organization
upon the part of employers can ac
complish this result.
Kaolin or pare clay is said to
contain 53 per cent of aluminum,
white metalso durable and port
able as to render it preferable to
either steel, bronze or iron, if it
can be produced at a price no
higher. Apparently there is no
reason why it should not be pro
duced at a cast even less; for there
are many abundant deposits of ka
olin in Virginia, Tennessee and
