WAsHINsTON, ID. c., April Is.
Out of the reports of Senator Blaine
illness the imaginative correspondent
have drawn a conclusion that Mr. Blain
is dissatisfied with his surroundings ant
is ,,reparinga way to escape from them
There is nothing in what the public
know to justify any such idea. On ths
contrary, White House visitors hrius
reports daily that the President, like
the Secretary Of State, considers the eX-
listing local disagreements in the Re
publican party to be Of slight account
Just what either of these gentlemen
Senate, by which the confirmation OF
Presidential nominations is prevented,
cannot be learned, but there is no reason
for believing that they differ on that
point. So ii is safe to discredit rumors
concerning Mr.. BIain's place in the
Cabinet.
GORHAM AND THE DEADLOCK.
A daily paper here gives with much
particuIarity this morning certain al
legged pieces Of advice given by Prcsi-
dent Garfield TO Senators, to the effect
that they should suspend the effort to
elect Senate officers long enough to con-
firm Presidential nominees. don't
believe the advice has been given.
George Gorham is getting Il good deal
abuse from all quarters and is charged
with keeping the deadlock to promote
personal ends. The public at large do
not seem to comprehend the situation.
The Republican Senators IN the caucus
which nominated GOrham considered
that his services were worthy Of the
highest reward and when it comes to Il
vote in which the President OF the Sen
ate has the right to vote the Republi-
rams will have control.
DOWN WITH THE TELEGRAPH POLES.
The Commissioners of Governors Of
the District of Columbia on Saturday,
refused an application of a telegraph
company to be allowed to erect poles
within the limits of Washington. They
Will attempt next winter to secure leg
station compelling all the companies to
'emove the unsightly poles now stand
ne and run their wires under ground. |
in a city SO regularly Laid
,ut and handsomely kept as Washing !
on, the change will be an excellent |
me.
THE COLORED AND WHITE CITIZENS.
Nineteen years ago last Saturday, |
lavery ceased to exist in the District |
# Columbia. Each year since the war
losed the day has been celebrated with |
much spirit by the Negroes here. The
observance on Saturday last was much
ess general than any proceeding one.
Whatever the fact may be further
outh, the colored people Of this vicin-
ty are on excellent terms with the
White citizens, and there is a growing
among both classes to the
evival of old differences. Much of
his is due, doubt not, to the excel
ent school system Of the District, and
o the consequent general increase of
among the Negroes. All
re on an absolute equality as to school
dvantages. To the colored schools is
iven the same proportion OF the school
und that the colored population bears
0 the white. Because of abject pow
rty more colored than white children
re kept from the public schools, but
quality in this respect is restored by
ne large number of white children re-
Giving private instruction, SO that the
colored schools" are as well filled as
ne others. KNOX.
