The National tribune., 1884-03-27
Dir. Blair.s Educational Bin.

OF the many measures that have been
brought up for the action of the Senate,
during the present session, few have pro-
yoked SO much discussion as the bill offered
by hr. Blair, of New Hampshire, to extend
national aid to the common schools. 1t is
proposed by this bill to make ten annual
appropriations from the National Treasury
for the urpose-beginning with an appro-
priation of S15,00oO00 and diminishing
by the sum of 100000 each success
sive year-and to apportion the money
among the various States and Territories on
the basis Of illiteracy-i. e., in the ratio of the
number Of persons in each State and Territory
who have attained the age of ten years and
cannot read and write to the total number
ofsuch persons in the United States, coupled,
however, with the condition that during the
first FIVE years of this allotment no State OF
Territory shall be entitled to share in this
appropriation that does not contribute from
its own resources for the support of schools
sum equal to one-third of the amount
donated by the national Government OF
during the last five years does not contribute
sum equal to that appropriated from the
national Treasury
The first question to which this bill gives
rise is, of course, whether Congress has the
right to vote money for the purposes of edu-
cation, and the second, whether il is expe-
dent that it should do So As to the first.
there can be little doubt. If it is within
the power of Congress to make grants of
public lands to individual States with the
understanding that the proceeds of the sale
thereof are to be applied to the support of
educational institutions, it follows neces-
earily that it is within its power to make an
appropriation from the Treasury for the
same purpose, and it is worthy Of note that
even the most ardent advocates of State
rights have conceded the authority of Con-
gress in this respect. AS to the second ques-
tion,-the question of expediency, there is,
however, wide difference of opinion both
in and out of Congress. Those who favor
the extension of national aid to our common
schools do so on the ground, first, that the
extent to which illiteracy now prevails in
this country seriously endangers the purity
of the ballot, and that the general Govern
ment for its own protection, therefore, ought
| TO take measures to redsce it to a minimum.
and, second, that this illiteracy, being chiefly
confined to one section of the country. the
States alone are unable to grapple with it;
while those, on the other hand, who think ii
inexpedient that this aid should be aiyen,
support their opinion with the argument
that the effect of this proposed Government
bounty would be to weaken the seif-reliance
OF such States as are now contributing liber-
| ally to the support of common schools, with
out inspiring the States which have failed
of their duty in this respect with any ambi-
ton To do better. That The origin of this
difference Of opinion may be the better under
The National tribune., 1884-03-27

1t will be seen therefrom that under the
terms of the Blair bill the States which
have done the least towards maintaining an
adequate system of common schools would
be the chief benefciaries thereby, and the
Government would apparently be placed in
the position of rewarding them for their
neglect. And such would, indeed, be the
fact, but for the condition exacted by the
bill, that each State must set aside out of its
OWN revenues fixed amount for the sup
port of its schools, in order to entitle it to
receive its share of the appropriation made
by the National Government. If compi-
ance with that requirement is strictly en-
forced in the execution of the provisions of
the bill, the fear of FORGETTING their allot-
ment may hold the Southern States to their
duty, and the purpose of national aid may
be accomplished

The National tribune., 1884-03-27

A COMMITTEE representing the National
Association of Ex-Union Prisoners of War
appeared before the Pension Committees of
both House and Senate during the past
week and strongly urged the adoption of
the Robinson bill to pension ex-prisoners.
among the addresses delivered was one by
Comrade Mattingly, which SO forcibly and
eloquently presents the claims of our ex-
prisoners to the consideration of Congress
that we print it in full in another column.
The National tribune., 1884-03-27

IN the Senate, last week, ON motion of
Senator Mitchell, chairman of the Committee
ON Pensions, the following order was unani
mously adopted:
Ordered, That the remarks of the committee of
the Grand army of the Republic before the Com
n,ittee on Pensions of the Senate the 9Th inst.
in relation to proposed legislation the subject of
pensions. be printed for the use of the Senate.
1t is to be hoped that the action of the
Senate on the pension measures now before
it will conform to the recommendations con-
tanned in this printed memorial.

A SUBSCRIBER writes us complaining that
the Grand Army pension committee in its
recommendations, while urging an increase
OF pension for those suffering from specific
disabilities, failed to include those suffering
from equivalent disabilities. Such was GER
tainly not the intent of the committee, as
the following extract from the report of the
hearing before the Senate Committee ON
Pensions shows:
General Merrill.-I understood from remark
OF Senator Blair TINT he understood the committee
to omit the question of equivalent disabilities We
do not intend TO leave ont the equivalent disabli
ties
IN fact the committee distinctly recog-
nized the justice of the principle in its dec
laration in favor of giving men who lost
both eyes or arms or legs, or an arm or leg,
or disability equiuaIeat thereto, one hundred
dollars per month" That equivalent disa-
bilities were not included in the other para
graphs was an oversight-nothing more
and the matter was properly set forth be-
fore the Congressional committees.

The Daily Haovaiian has got con-
siderably mixed up about the Fehl-
behr-Hart affair. The truth of it is,
that Hart had no business to 90 up
that gangway at all when told not
to by police officer. Capt. Fehl-
behr was on duty, and told to keep
people from going aboard until the
passengers were landed. The only
thing to be regretted is, that Fehl-
behr did finally allow Hart to go
aboard. Hart would have been wiser
to have omitted the use of bad lam
guage, especially as number of
ladies were on the wharf. 1t looks
to us very much as if the eye wit
ness of the Hdacdiian was cock
eyed.
