In 1884 the Republican party went to the country on a record of profligacy and a force bill, and they were beaten out of sight. They are going to the country with the same record in 1890.

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.

The increase in the appropriations made by the first session of the present congress over those for the first session of the last congress exceeds §40,000,- 000. Such an enormous increase indicates a-degree of extravagance that can hardly fail to arrest the attention of the country.—Savan nah News. —The total of appropriations made by congress at its session which has just expired, amounts to §861,411,503.

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.

Yet there has been pnt in the mailing department two wonderful me chanical contrivances for the can cellation and arranging in form of mail matter. These remarkable pieues of mechanism are operated by electricity, and, though not so complex, are very similar in many respects to the modern newspaper printing press. The letters designed for treat ment are placed in a wooden trough, from which they are fed into a machine very mnch after the manner that coffee grains are fed to the ordinary coffee mill. As they strike revolving rollers they are whirled along a slide, and dur ing their passage to the other end they are struck with the ink dies which make the postmark and can cel the stamp. Having gone through this proceeding, they are takeu up by the metul arms, which are a portion of the machine, and arranged in straight rows, so that the attendant lifts them out readiness to tie up in bundles without the labor of stacking them. The larger machine can cancel and pile 25,000 postal cards and 15,000 letters an hour, with one at tendant feeding at the liopper-like trough, and another removing and bundling. Their value as labor 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 man who can do this, and theu a few hoars’ labor at this rate soon fatigues the worker to the point of exhaustion. In tho money order department a five-horse power steam engine is employed to facilitate the business. It is located under the desk of the clerk who receives money for post- office orders. The orders and re ceipts or stubs are made out in du plicate, and, in order to prevent 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 ceipts of the money clerk. The latter are dropped in a little aper ture in the desk of the money clerk and carried to the other room on an endless belt operated by the little steam edgine. A man of figures at Saginaw Micb., has calculated that the av erage person trims off a thirty- second of an inch of nail from each finger a week, or three inches a year. The average of human life the world over is forty years. Ten feet of finger nail for each finger— a round 200 feet from the twenty fingers and toes. There are 1,300,- 000,000 people in tbis world and altogether they waste on an aver age of 300,000,000,000 feet, or 56,- 818.15 miles of finger nail in a generation; sufficient to reach twice around the earth and still leave 6.000 miles to • do our scratching with.

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. The cork oak is an interestin; tree to Americans, as its cultiva tion now seems destined to be come an important industry in California, where the climate and soil in many parts of the state are admirably suited to produce 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.

OiSce 306 Second Street. 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 missioned by the emperor to dear rate with the Iron Cross of the first class, discomfitted the chan 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.

Price 25 cents per box 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 Alabama. For several years past, remarks the New York Star, the hauls of mackerel have been short in the Western waters.
