N HIS cross-examination before the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, by Mr.. Belmont, the
most important statement made by Ex-Secretary
of State Blaine Was to the effect that President
Arthur, while he had commented upon the
plan laid out by Mr.. Blaine, which zfterwnrd
formed the letter Of instructions to General
Hurlbut, made no changes Of any Importance
In the policy, and indeed very few verbal
changes, indorsing it precisely as it came from
the hands Of the Secretary of State. Mr..
Blaine produced the original draft Of the letter
OF instructions, and stated that the assertion
that he Inserted or interpolated any thing into
thai letter after the President had seen It was
a. false IS the assertion that he attempted to
map cut foreign policy between the lives OF
the two Presidents.
A VERY remarkable bill is that "a To aid ir
tks establishment and temporary support Of
common schools, reported to the Senate, with
approval of majority of the Committee or
Education and Labor. It provides for the ap
preparation Of s95, ,00o, 900, $15, ,000, 900 ths
first wear, e14, ,000, 900 the second year, @1S,.
900, 600 the third year, and thereafter q sun
diminished 81, ,o0o, 600 yearly from the sum last
appropriated, until the annual appropriation
shall have been made, when all appropriation
under this act shall cease, which several sunni
shall be expended to secure the benefits o
common school education to all the children
living in tho United States. The committee'i
written report says: !" A majority Of the com
mittee is In favor Of and recommend the appro
priation of money from the Treasury, to aid II
the establishment and temporary support O.
common schools, the same to be distributed t,
the several States and Territories for q Iimite,
period Of time, and upon the basis Of lliteracy.
But the majority make no Recommendation a
to the superintendence of the expenditure O
this mere bagatelle, these 496, ,000, 900, ant
ether little things like that.
