WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington ID. C., March IF, 1886.
 Since the conflict began between the president and the senate, nothing but standing room can be had in the senate galleries after one o'clock each day. Crowds of people go away unable to ob- tain an entrance, and members of the lower house come over to the senate chamber and fill the space in the rear of the desks of the senators where chairs are placed for them.
 Senator Edmunds, in opening the dis cussion, occupied the floor for about two hours and a quarter. The most earnest attention was paid him throughout the entire time, and while he interlard-d his argument with occasional witty thrusts, withering sarcasm, and incisive irony, it wss delivered in good temper and without trace of acrimony,
 .Alluding to the message as the Supple mantary minority report" he sad the president has stated, with fulnees of rhetoric which was as charming as it was unique, that these statutes of the United States relating to official papers, and the practices under them, had now for many desuetude" Mr. Edmunds stammered over this phrase with well acted hesIta- ton, and finally succeeded in enunciating it. He thought it was the presidents duty to take statute out of disuse eff h. might use shorter and number phras. } and put it into faithful execution.
 MT. Edmunds' elaborate tribute to Allen G. Thurmen, created quite stir ill the galleries. He was speaking of the democratic members of the judiciary com mittee, at the time of ex-Senator Thur mans chairmanship, as the great head. lights upon the locomotive of the demo cratic party. They were Thurman of Delaware, Lamar of Mississippi, Garland He remarked that Thurman's headlight was at present extinguished, s'the best, the wisest, the greatest of all the demo- crats," added he; s'and he is, too, the bravest. Pausing 8 moment, he contin- ued, sI say the bravest, because he has not hesitated to denounce the recent frauds of his party in his own state"
 Mir. Edmunds has been replied to only by. Senator Pugh of Alabama. Senator WiIson, of Iowa, has followed Mir. Ed munds and Senators Ingalls and EvaIts will do the same On the democratic side Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, is ex- pected to make the best argument. It will be his first effort in the senate.

 THE Blair education bill stands bard chance of going through the U. s. house of representatives, notwithstanding it's un- expectedly strong passage in the senate. Though designed mainly to help the south to improve it's public schools, as the division of public money is based on illit- eracy, all states get share during the eight years of distribution for which it provides. The amount to be distributed is $77, ,OOO, 900, with 5000, 900 more to aid in erecting school houses in sparsely settled districts. Provision is made for an equitable division of the funds in states where separate schools for the two races are maintained. No state will re- ceive more than it has raised itself for education the preceding year, and any misapplcation of the funds will forfeit any further share in the appropriations.
 The bill was opposed by Senator Flaw ley and supported by Senator Platt. The demand for it's passage originated in the crying need for diffusing intelligence among the hordes of ignorant voters in the south, where the public school system is very defective. and inadequate to public needs. It is expected that inc impetus given by this public aid will pro- vide at the end of eight years good pub lie school system in every state, south as well as north.
