FIRE. Draws Comparisons.

CHICAGO, April 2l.-A Journal special
says: Frye gave a new impetus to the
debate In the Senate by n OF bis char
sctsristic spesches. in which he con-
trasted the amounts raised in the North
ern States for school purposes with those
raised In the Southern States, and
showed that In tas North. where eduoa.
tional qualifications were required, more
than ten times 90 much money wai
raised per capita for school purposes.
Frye answers very effectively the charge
Of Jones. OF Florida, that the operatives
In Northern factories were srrfs and
starving people. He stated that the
operatives in factories In Massachusetts
alone had enough money In savings
banks to buy the State OF Florida, per-
sonal and real property. and have Q bal.
ancs OF over fifty millions left. Close
attention was given to Frye's speech.
