MARTINS FERRY.

Mr. George ". McKim has just com.
pleted O new stave jointer TO be used iu the
Bellare mill cooper shop. The new ma.
chine consists Of q concaye cylinder in
which knives are get, ground in such q
way as 10 cut the stave TO ct into the keg
and make tight Joint with its mates.
The machine is designed to save lumber,
and at the same time insure the safety Of
the operators hands. The stave is fed in
to the knives edReways and is shaved of
regularly and smoothly without any jar or
catching. The machine is undoubtedly
an immense improvement over the old
fashioned choping machine, not only IN
the manner Of it's working, but from the
fact that the Bellsire cooper shops will
be able 10 ssve material enough daily to
make three hundred kegs. or 20 per cent.
Of the entire amount now used. In this
place it is probable that City men may be
fo1nd who have lost finger, and in sone
few cases three and four, BY the use Of the
old.tsshioned choping jointer. This ma.
chine makes it impossible for such
an accident 10 occur, as
the operators hands are constantly
protected, no matter where they may be.
On an average the old fashioned machine
cut away three quarters Of IN inch Of lum.
Der from each stave. A calculation Of the
number Of slaves used in shop Of 800
kegs daily capacity, shows that enough
lumber ia lost TO make 2j0 kegs. With

The Educational Issue.



The able address made by Dir. Fran
els Fentress OF Hardeman before the
meeting OF the State Teachers Associa-
tion OF Bolivar was the reply OF one OF
Hardeman's s sons to the Hardeman. res
olutions.
The men who are practically engaged
in the work OF education and all those
who approach that great question are
satisfied that something must be done.
There are three courses open. Either
we must leave this dense mass of ignor-
anee, which involves not the black only
but the white, to grow more densely
dark until like the darkness OF Egypt
it can be felt, or we must increase state
taxation to IA degree unprecedented and
lntolerable, or we must look to the
federal government for funds, drawn
from the whole people, wherewith to
inaugurate and put into fairly work
ing order thorough system OF state
education.
So far as mere material progress is
concerned the Southern States bid fair
to rival il not outspeed the Northern
States in the course OF twenty-five or
fifty years. Just now it would seriously
cripple these States to have the burden
OF educating this dense mass Of ignor-
ance saddled upon them at once, In its
chiefest, that is in its first, cost.
The time for discussion of the Blair
bill or its substitutes IS past The peo-
Pile have considered the matter and de-
cided. The only question now left is
one OF party expediency.
Will Democratic politicians in the
South go with the people or against
them?
Let them examine their position.
The people and those OF the leading
men and newspapers who favor federal
aid, are before the public with a square
position. They propose to do some
thing.
The .objectors propose nothing. They
simply oppose. Their position is such
that they must either occupy their al
ways fatal negative attitude or they
must advocate one or two positives.
4 They must advocate leaving ignor
ance to multiply as it is doing or they
must favor raising the large sum needed
by state taxation. II they would es-
cape these alternatives they must accept
federal aid to the cause OF education.
There is no escape from this position.
They must stand still. merely oppos-
ing and therefore 60 to the wall, with all
negations that are, or even were, or
ever will be, or they must positively es-
pouse the cause OF ignorance, or they
must favor State taxation adequate to
the end in view, or they must yield and
admit that federal azd is necessary.
The interests of the Democratic party
absolutely require that the Democratic
party in Tennessee shall. affirmatively
declare for federal aid to the cause OF
education. If the people cannot secure
what they want through one political
agency they will always take another.
What is wanted is always stronger than
party name and traditions.
The point for these objectors to see is
that for them to induce the Democratic
convention to declare against federal
aid to education will hurt the Demo
cratic party, while it will not harm the
cause Of education.

Foreign Diplomats.
Cleveland Leader.

The foreign diplomats at Washing
ton, are, however, better paid than our
ministers. The British minister occu-
pies one OF the biggest houses at our
national capital, and is one which has
more rooms, venture, than the White
House. He has, I think, an allowance
for entertaining, and he receives sala-
ry of $50, 900 year The German ma
ton owns house here, and its minis
ter gets $40, ,000a year. The Japanese
minister receives $4,000 yearly, and
he is one OF the most valuable men in
the diplomatic circles. The wealthiest
foreign minister is the representative OF
China, who always goes about in Chi
nese costume, and who has the reputa-
ton of being great statesman at
home. This mans name is Chang Yin
Huan, and his father was, when he
died, one of the richest men in China.
Mr.. Huan has half-score OF almond
eyed Celestials to help him, and he
pays 81 900 year for house rent. The
Turkish minister wears English clothes
and a red fez cap when he appears on
state occasions. He is a dark-haired
dark-skinned man, with Oriental feat
ures. He lives much OF the time al

yearly. Aaron de Struve, the Russian
minister, is put down as getting $50,

ernment would not accept his resigna
