Beaconsfields views on the results of the
general election of 1885, and also his ideas
on the foreign situation about the time Of, his
death In this manifest preference for the
idoas of the departed statesman there III an
obvious implication of criticism of the policy
of Mr.. Gladstone. In another part of the
book the queen give an account of the
growth of the friendship between her.

blli for an appropriation for educational DUR
poses IN the states, as it now stands, appro.
PIRATES $50 900, 900 in sums of SO, 600, 900 an
nually for FIVE years for educational purposes,
Mr.. Willis is, however, contemplating the
propriety Of a change in the form of the bill,
making the first year appropriation SO, 000,-
900, the second years $1,000 900, and so on,
decreasing 81 100000 in each year until the
sum is exhausted, which plan he thinks will
give better satisfaction for a variety of rea-
SONS. The sum so appropriated is to be known
as the school fund, and to be publicly dis
tributed to the several states according to the
number OF their respective population of 10
years old and upward who cannot
read and write, as shown by the tenth census
Each state must, before receiving its share Of
the fund, have provided by law for free COM
mon school education of its children of school
age, without distinction of color Five per
cent. of the fund may be used for
normal schools in each state, but none
OF the sum thus appropriated is to be
used for the erection of school build
ings or for any other purpose than that of
sustaining schools for either children or
teachers. The bill would give 1925, 900 to
Alabama, ST, GOO, 900 to Arkansas, 81 900 900
to Georgia, 81, 100000 to Kentucky, and the
same sum each to Louisiana and Mississippi.
