THE LARGEST TELESCOPE IN THE
WORLD,

In response to the inquiry of
correspondent the Missouri RepuJ-
lican says: The largest telescope
in the world is the Lord Rosse tele-
scope, which has an aperture of
seventy-two inches. The largest
one in this country is that at San
Jose, CAL, with an aperture of
twenty-eight inches.
The Republican evidently refers
to the great telescope of the Lick
Observatory, the achromatic objec-
tive of which is, however, thirty-six
and not twenty-eight inches in the
clear. The lick telescope is re-
tractor, and as such is the largest in
the world, the next largest being
that in the Russian Imperial OBJ
servatory, at Pulkowa, which has an
achromatic objective of thirty in
ches in the clear. The Lord Rose
telescope is reflector, and has a
diameter of seventy-two inches. The
two largest refractors in the world
have been built by Alvan Clark &
Sons of Cambridgeport, Mass. The
Lick telescope is still in their hands,
receiving the finishing touches,
which consist of such delicate cor
rections to the surface of the glass
as may be necessary to secure a
perfect image of the object observed
through It's. +. Bulletin.

CALDWELL AND PRIVATE PENSIONS

When the President put his veto on
sundry private pension bills and thus
prevented an unwarranted raid on the
national treasury, his action was loudly
and justly applauded. There were GER
tainly few people in this immediate
part of the country who didn't say well
done.
What then do these people think Of
the action Of their representive in con-
gress, Hon. Andrew J. Caldwell, in vo-
ting to pass one of these pension bills
over the Presidents veto? Was he rep
resenting their interests or sentiments
when he did this p?
The time for the election of new
Congressman draws near and Mr.
Caldwell seems strangely reckless
Of consequences. The people OF the
Sixth district are with the Presi-
dent on the private pension business
and Mr.. Caldwell is likely to find it GU
to his cost.

THE CHURCH AND POLITICS.

We publish elsewhere DR.. Barbee's
card in he which defines his position on
the relation of the church to prohibi-
bition. The doctor takes high moral
ground, which, we think, is eminently
correct the church should not NEEDLE
with the methods and machinery Of
politics. We would like for him, or
some other prominent divine, to 60
furthur and condemn a still more OBJ
jectionable practice we have noticed
of late. We refer to the endorsement
and recommendation of candidates by
ministers on account Of their denomi-
national affiliations. We have heard oil
prominent preachers writing letters
urging that certain men be voted for
because "they are members of our
church." If this is not dragging relig-
ion into the very quagmire OF political
filth what is it?

WHERE WILL YOU GET THE MONEY.

The Nashville American finds in the
Dresden Enterprise, paper not Sim
pervious to argument" to use its own
expression, and proceeds to answer it,
after a fashion, question which other
papers have repeatedly propounded
without securing the attention of the
daily at the capital.
This question was "what policy do
you favor to advance the educational
system OF the Slater" The American 8
proiessed answer is weak and stumbling
and does not relieve that paper OF the
negative, do-nothing attitde it has all
along occupied.
Hear what the terrible opponent Of
national aid says. "What is most need
ed just now to advance the cause OF
education, is lively interest in the
subject, supplemented by energetic
county superintendants."
That much will be readily granted
and acceded to, but it goes very short
way in expressing policy. The Amer
lean gives as proof of the existing
apathy in regard to education that there
is not a full attendance OF the scholastic
population at the public schools. What
is the cause Of this opathy and why
are the superintendent not 80 ener-
getic as the American would desire ?
Does it not come from lack OF money
to support the schools The average
pay of county superintedants in Ten
nessee is not $500 year. How can eff
cientand energetic men be employed for
such paltry sum? The average school
term is eighteen weeks in the year and
the average pay OF teachers is $35 per
month; only % per capita year is al
lowed for scholars. How is it possible
to awaken "a lively popular interest
in such school system
So after all, dear American it comes
to this; 10 have better public
schools in Tennessee we must have
more money. Where do you propose
to get it from. You reject the idea Of
national aid--you will not have the sur.
plus in the treasury appropriated fol
the purpose-do you favor an increased
State and county tax?
There is no lodging that question in
stating your "policy for advancing the
educational system of the State"
The public schools of the State are
not patronized because of their marked
inefficiency. This large non-attendanct
will not be found to exist in the cities
and large towns where there are gooc
schools.
Some of the back-woods sections O
the State suffer from benighted litter
acy that has no appreciation of educa
ton. This could not be removed by
our public schools as they are now con
Quoted, if the people could be induced
to patronize them.
The remedy needed is apparen
enough. Money is the sinues of edu
cation as it is Of most every thing else
That's what is needed "to advance III,
educational system OF the State" How
does the Anne rican propose to raise it ?
