thanks OF the people of the whole
country. aud is 10 be congratulated
that its acli4n on this bill meets the
warm approval of intelligent and
patriotic people independent Of all
party considerations. 1t, also, fur
niJhes fresh evidence that the Repub
lican party was in earnest in lis
pledges To promote The work Of
education and the Tightening of The
burdens of the iliileraie by aid from
the national treasury; while the grow
ing interest IN education in the south
ern states has oCCasloned POPULAR
demand for the passage OF the bill
which had au'effect upon Democratic
senator's, and which will BE- felt again
when The measure is brought before
the House for consideration. Ii is,
also, crafty wing 10 us to note that the
division IN the Senate was neither
along sectional nor patty lines; yet il,
is, also, 10 US an occasion for congrat-
ulati On thai the Republican vote was
cast almost solid for the bill.
On The whole, the amendments
which were made TO the bill in the
senate improve and strengthen it,
though il was a wise and patriotic
measure as i, came from the pen of
sonar or Blair. Under the provisions
of the bill as it went TO the House,
aid Appropriated will be distributed
IN the basis of illit-racy, and in states
where separate schools for the races
are maintained, The distribution will
be made on the basis Of the popua-
ton Of school age. These provision,
insure the application of the aid
where it is most needed, and in the
direct proportion to the need, and
they prevent the mis- application Of
the funds in such way as to give an
unjust proportion to the white schools.
Provision is made in the bill for
detail reports of school administration
and attendance, and state which
mis- applies the funds, pays the penalty
by loosing its share of subseqnen,
appropriations. Neither will any
state receive an amount larger than it
has itself raised for educational pur
poses the year Eek. preceding; which
will be an additional stmulant to the
people of the south who favor popular
education TO push forward the school
system in their several states; and,
also by the Logan amendment, pro
vision is made for some special meas
ure of aid in erecting school houses
when they are needed. Altogether it
is an exceeding wise and patriotic
measure, and will work great amount
Of good if it becomes law, as We
sincerely hope it may. We also hope
it may be supported by the vote Of
every representative in the House from
the State of Michigan. We know the
people OF Michigan approve OF Il {
bill, and will sustain their representa-
tives if they give it the earnest and
efficient support it merits.

The following brief extract from a
speech by Senator Hoar, of Massa-
chusetts, is decidedly to the point.
He says, There are three things, and
three things only, which make up the
Republican policy, upon which all
Republicans are agreed; three things
in which the Republican party must
live or bear no life; three things in
extricably blended together upon
which our national life itself must de-
pend; and they are, absolute Free
dom of the ballot, universally of
common school education, and the
maintenance and elevation of the
workiDgman's wages, They are three
things dependent upon each other.
Not one Of this sublime trinity can
fail or perish and either of the other
two survive.
