On the subject OF the Blair Educa-
tional Bill, the New Orleans States
says:
We do not believe the people desire
to do wrong we do not believe the
people of Louisiana desire to be the
bentticiarics-nn, not the beneiiclarles,
but the d..hauchees OF Il robbery OF the
common treasury. They have been
taught by their representatives and
THEN press t" believe that the Blair OIL
is constitutional orr correspondent
shows. OF rather demonstrates, that 1t Is
q gross, criminal violation OF the con-
stitution. Let the people OF Louisiana
then denounce this outrage upon the
constitution and upon true Democratic
nlincIDltS.
