BLAIIt EDUCATIONAL BILL
Special to the Gazette
WashingtonFeb 25 It is altogether
likely that the Blair educational bill will
be passed this session The senate has
passed it three times but the house has
refused it equally often The time has
arrived when this question must bo met
squarelyand the impression prevails that
this congress will pass the measure It
is in no sense a partisan bill but now for
the first time since its introduction 1884
tho Republicans have control of both
branches The situation in the South
remains unchanged Some progress has
been made but satisfactory work there
is impossible Mr Dawson the late
commissioner of education stated in his
last report that the schools in the South
were too few tho terms too short the
salaries of the teachers too low their
qualifications defective the school-
houses imperfect and efficient instruc-
tion impossible If any faots were
needed to support this statement it may-
be well to cite the language of Mr Fin-
ger superintendent of public instruction
in North Carolina in a recent letter to
Dr Harris the present commissioner of
education He says
There is great misunderstanding in
the northern section of the Union as to
progress tho South is making in public
education
Sanguine men have traveled South
and returned after looking into a few
cities and talking with a few compara-
tively speaking real friends of public
education and reported what conveyed
a very false impression The truth is
that a very large proportion of the
leaders in politics of both political parties
are opposed to public education in any
other sense than that of charity whether
reference is had to whites or blacks To
say that any considerable proportion of
the old slave owners is favorable to the
education of tho negroes is not in accord-
ance with my observations and experi-
ence To say that the South is in a finan-
cial condition to support a good system of
schools is not the truth To say that il-
literacy in the South will be muoh re-
duced in the near future without help
from tho national government is what I
do not believe To say that it is the duty
of congress to assist in the education of
negroes is to my mind as plain a proposi-
tion as that two and two are four
Those of us iu the South who stand for
a liberal support of public schools know
the odds acainst which we contend and
if it were not for our faith in the rinse
and hops that prejudices would sub-
side from whatever quarter they come
or exist and that help will be extended
for the sake of the preservation of our
civil and religious liberties if not from b

FORAKER DEAD
Special to the Gazette
Washington Feb 25 ExGovernor
Foraker of Ohio is a dead duck The
recent investigations of the ballot box
committee although quite an expensive
luxury having ost the government
over two thousand dollars has served
tho purpose of showing up Mr Foraker
and his methods It may be well to re-
call the circumstances whioh led up to
this investigation Mr Foraker learned
that his Democratic rival for the govern-
orship Mr Campbell was to secure
from the United States a fat contract for
the supply of ballot boxes of a certain
patent mako the contract to be secured
throueh the political influence of some
parties who would remain behind
the scenes The gentleman es-
pecially designated was Mr But
terworth and Mr Foraker employed
a gobetween to secure a copy of the
document relating to the agreement be-
tween the parties the pay for this serv-
ice to bo a political office It seems that
the document ho required was forsed to
order and supplied the signatures of Mr
Campbell Mr Butterworth S S Cox
Senator Sbermau and other prominent
men of both parties The signatures
even did not arouse Forakers suspicion
as to their genuine character as several
of the Republicans thus put forward as
encaging in this rascality were either
lukewarm or unfriendly to his owu
election Murat Halstead editor of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette con-
cealed the torgory and published the
contracts although discreetly suppress-
ing the Republican signatures in issuing
the document as an election weap-
on Mr Campbell at once de-
nounced the forgery which Mr
Halstead publicly admitted in his col-
umns while Foraker kept silent for sev-
eral weeks the collapse of the business
largely contributing to the defeat of For
aker and the election of a Democratic
governor of Ohio Foraker comes out of
the investigation politically dead Aside
from the personal and moral aspects of
the case the willingness he displayed to
kill off Butterworth Sherman aud Mc-
Kinley and prominent Republicau lead-
ers who stood iu his way was very evi-
dent He had better go homo hide his
head and fornver cease from endeavor-
ing to put his name before tho Republi-
can party of his state as a candidate for
any office whatsoever He has ridden
himself out of the party which is for-
tunate in having discovered tho Judas
Iscariat who has betrayed it upon more
than one occasion
