Interview with Hon. 4. r. O'Fcrrail
on the Blair Bill.

Special Correspondence Of the stanton Vndi-
cstOr.I
WASHINGTON. December 4.-IIon. G. T.
O'Ferrall has not had fair chance during
the short time he has held a seat in Con-
gress. He was only successful In bis con.
test near the end OF the former session,
sitter the committees had all been made up.
and then work was well advanced. | had
pleasant conversation with him last eve
ming at his rooms on Third street. Speaking
OF the educational bill. he said:
~ am glad to see that the VindicdtOr Is
so strongly advocating the Blair bill. You
may say that am warmly in favor OF the
bill or its equivalent. | understand its
propositions to be, in brief: An opening
appropriation OF seven millions now. and
varying in amount each year for seven
years. when IL shall cease; its object, to
stamp out ilIiteracy in the United States,
and 20 that end the money to be distributed
amcng the States on the basis Of the popu.
lation within school age who cannot read
or write; each State TO expend yearly
from its own treasury, in addition, equally
a. much as i,recelyes from the United States,
and the amount for normal schools TO
be limited to one tenth OF that received;
each state TO be free in all other respects 10
expend the money according to its local
laws. All these provisions are plain and
direct. There IL no room for disagreement
or cayil. But two questions present them
selves: l. IL within the constitutional power
OF Congress to pssS such bill: II yes. Is
it right and proper? In my opinion and
] have given it some thought and study
the bill i constitutional. and ii Is good
policy. believe the amount contemplated
could he expended IN no other way by
which il would yield such universal and
welI.dif'used benefit to our people, both in
diyidualy and as nation. | shall vote
for the bill and do all in my power to Sc
cuIe its passage. The sentiment OF the
southern congressman is largely in its favor.
! think il will be reached this session, and
that # so ii will be passed.

And Another.

We have quoted an article from the ex-
trcme northern limit Of Virginia, one from
the extreme southern limit, and now here
il one from the centre OF the State-all i'm
favor OF the BLAIR bill. The Fincastle
HCrdld says:
A GEBAT INTEREST AT STAKE.-The only
important measure ever proposed and gen.
orally sustained by northern congressman
that had for its main object the advance
ment OF southern interests seems likely TO
he defeated y the action Of the representa-
tiyes OF southern constituencies. The
Blair bill, which appropriates many mil
lions OF dollars for public education. to be
divided among the States according TO the
basis OF illlteracy, passed the Senate some
months ago. and now awaits action by the
House Of Representatives; and there seems
to be an evident disposition on the pIrt OF
the House TO Kill it,.
For twenty Years the southern States
have been struggling with condition OF
poverty hardly known among civilized IA
tonS. Millions upon millions Of its pro-
pDty were swept away by the fortunes OF
war, its labor was disOrganized, its lands
deprecated, and its resources in every d.
rection crippled. ADDED 10 this condition
Of affairs "A great mass OF our population
was raised from the condition OF servitude
to that OF citizens exercising all the rights
and privileges OF American citizenship.
The growth Of public sentiment demanded
for that portion OF ourpopulation, as wellas
for all classes. education at public expense.
The States seyerally undertook this heavy
burden. Theirmost liberal efforts were in
sufficient, however, and the percentage OF
illiteracy has not materially decreased. I'm
der these circumstances the proposition to
aid the States by Federal appropriations was
suggested, and the suggestion has met with
great favor throughout the whole country.
Yet. as above stated, the measure proposing
to extend this relief hangs in the House,
and southern congressman seem indifferent
to its fate, II indeed they are not opposed
TO II.
The Blair bill. a. we understand II, l.
shOrn OF all its Objectionable features. Ii re-
Quires no supervision by Federal authority
OF State schools il is free GIFT OF money
where most needed; and there is no prin-
ciple involved that would prevent its ac-
ceptance!
Southern congressman vote millions upon
millions OF dollars every year as pensions
TO northern soldiers. They see millions OF
dollars appropriated yearly for ''public
Improvement" Chiefly in the North, yet
when il comes TO sustaining measure OF
serious interest and importance to the
South, they are divided: with boiler.
than-thou " spirit, they shut themselves up
in their shell OF BOurbonism, and delib-
erately turn their backs upon their c)nsttu-
encies, their best interests, and their almost
universal demand.
p. S.-Since writing the above. we notice
that DR.. J. l.. VI. Curry. agent OF the Pei-
body fund, and ono OF the most distin-
guished advocates Of public education In
the country. has published an able and, to
our mind, conclusive argument m favor Of
the Blair bill.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1884-12-27
Another.

Since writing the introduction TO the ar
ticle in our issue OF TO-DAY from the VIM
chester Times, advocating Federal aid to
the public.school systems OF the various
States, we have come across the following
article In the Danyllle Times:
THE BLAIR EDUCATIONAL BnL.-We
have more than once referred TO THIS bill as
one Of the most important now pending be-
fore Congress, and we are satisfied II would
be a capital bunder In the Democratic par
~ TO fail to pass il at this session OF Con.
gress. We hay. observed with pleasure
that Hon. j. l.. VI. Curry, the agent Of the
Peabody fund, has recently been taking an
active part in favor Of the passage OF the
bill. and that he has recently written
lengthy letter, in which he declares that
.stbe rarfy in power in the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes will awaken the grayest appre-
tensions as TO its capacity for government
aud will embarrnss beyond computation the
incoming Administration II II fail to vote
surgency' for the Blair bill, and TO adopta
measure so essential 10 the safety OF our
free institutions" We heartily endorse
that sentiment, and firmly believe that he
does not at all overcstimate the importance
OF the measure.
II Is said tina, General Malone. anticl-
paiing the defeat Of the bill, has already
had tables prepared for use in the campaign
next fall, showing how many thousands OF
dollars each county ID Virginia would have
received but for the failure OF the Demo-
cratic House to- pass this bill, which the
Republican Senate passed at the last ses-
sion. We say unhestatngly that such
representation made TO the people OF this
State would, in our opinion. more than
counterbalaDce all the advantages which
the party will secure by change in the
National Administration, and would seri-
ously jeopardize Democratic success at the
State elections next November. In the re-
cent canvass preceding the presidential and
congr( ssional elections Democratic speak
ers and editors had great difficulty 10 ex-
planning satisfactorily 10 the people why
the bill was not passed 10y the De nocritic
House at the last session, and indeed all
they could say was that it was received
from the Senate so late that there was not
time 10 act upon II.
Now If another session is allowed TO eX
pire without having passed this bill no
such excuses will avail, and its failure to
pass will be used with powerful effect
against us. There Is no doubt whatever
that the bill is a popular one with the peo-
pie. and II the Democratic members from
this State wish TO strengthen themselves
with their constituents we know OF no way
In which they could do so more effectually
than by laboring to secure its passage,
while he who throws obstacles In its way,
or Is in any way responsible for its defeat,
had as well make up his mind to retire to
the shades Of private life. We are glad TO
know that the representative from this dis
trict is an earnest friend OF the bill.

Mr.. BLAINE's STRENGTH IN THE SoUTH.-
The election proved 10 my mind that James
e.. Blaine was the strongest candidate whom
the Republicans could have nominated. No
other man in this country could have pOlled
such a vote in the South as was freely
and fairly gwen TO Mr.. Blaine. Every
body knows that there was a Republican
majority in Virginia, and also in some other
States In the South, and everybody under
stands what has been done with that major
ity. The conservative men OF the South
looked 10 Mr.. Blaine, in the event Of his
election. for policy which would bring
about new and better order OF things H.
every southern State. The colored people,
! fancy, almost regarded him as another
Lincoln who was TO come TO their relief.
His election they deemed certain. His de-
feat has left them bewildered and fright
ened. They see their protector struck down
by jealous foes ut the North, and do not
know what it means. James G.. Blaine is
to-day the most popular Republican in the
South, and the voice OF southern Republic
cans would demand his nomination il
another convention were to be held on
the morrow CongreSSmdn-etect James u.
brady, OF Virginia.
But oh, how different II will be four years
hence. BLAINE will then be as HANCOCK
was lsstyear-hardly thought Of as possible
nominee.
