The Blair B.li Passed.

WAsHINGToN, D. C., February l6.- The Blair educational bill passed the Senate yesterday by the vote of 30 to 20. senator Blair made ringing speech in finally closing the debate He declared that the opposition to the bill came from the Jesuits and he claimed 10 have read letter addressed to Senat begging him 10 defeat the bill. Twelve wears ago, when propo- sition was before Congress to prevent appropriation of public money to sec tarian schools, he had seen nine Jesuits on the floor log-rolling to defeat the bill. He mentioned a number of great newspapers in tho North which from advocacy of the bill had become strangely silent and he declared they were under Jesuitic8i influence He mentioned the Chicago Tribune, the New York >ua and Times, the Boston Herald and Advertiser. Another in- fluenee arrayed against the bill was the liquor interest. But Mir Blair de. clared the North would see all through the jugglery, and if they couldn't get the truth from the reporters gallery they would clear the gallery. Before the bill passed several amendments were voted down as follows: Senator Plumb's to divide the money In propor- ton to their population between the ages of 10 and 2l Senator Berry's not to require each Governor to file with the Secretary Of the Interior list of school moneys expended the year be- fore,

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, February IT,
 There is much anxiety to understand Gov. Oglesby's intentions in reference
 to the pardon of J. c. Mackin, now doing time in the Joliet Pententlary for perjury committed in connection
 with the election frauds investigations
 in Chicago in lss4. The fact that the
 Governor gave the press access to the
 papers in the case as soon as Mrs.
 Mackin left his office last Friday led to the conclusion that he would certainly
 grant the pardon. The Governors
 more intimate friends. however, de-
 clared this publicity in the case meant
 nothing more than that he desired the
 public to know exactly on what ground this some what extraordinary case was presented. Besides. 1t IS ! lown that some days before Mrs. Mackin's late
 visit, the Governor had decided 10 make all the papers public and told one Of the reporters to come and see them
 any time he chose. Mrs Mackin re.
 mained in the city Friday night and all
 day Saturday, although when she came, Friday morning, she expected 10 leave
 In the evening. This change in plan resulted from some intimation that Gov. Oglesby was likely 10 take favor- able action right ae ay. She spent Friday night and Saturday al the house
 of ex-Goy. John NJ. Palmer, during
 which time Gov. Palmer got the impression that immediate Executive action was not to be expected. and so informed her. SlRce then it has come to be generally believed here that II
 Gov. OgiesDy intends to grant q par don 10 Aackin at any time, he does not intend to do 1t now This sentiment
 has been encouraged by various
 things that have recently dropped from about the State House.
 The other evening, also, when the bOYernor was delivering his welcome to the Grand Army delegates in this
 city, an indicative thing happened.
 He was speaking very vigorously on
 the subject Of treason, saving the only proper place for a traitor to live was
 at the end of rope. Next to the trai- tor he said, the man who "seded simi-
 lar heroic treatment was c one who corrupted or defrauded { peoples suffrage. This was all his remark on this point; but one Of the State officers. htting m the audience, renciled these
 words on card and handed it 10 Tlend; "A very timely center shot" when Col W. W. Berry, Of Quincy.
 responded to the Governors speech he applauded the latter's remarks on tho subJect or treason, snc came outespeci-
 ally strong on the necessity for severe punishment for bsllot-box frauds. The
 Trend then Penciled on the card these
 words and passed it back: Another
 timely shot in the same place." A
 somewhat careful inquiry shows that
 tne sudien e generally interpreted
 these passal ss as referring to the Mack.
 m case, and being suggestion tc

WASHINGTON. D. C., February l7.-Dr McGlynn Is qaoted in the dispatches to-day as saying that he thinks Con. gressman Henry Smith, of Milwaukee, will be the Labor candidate for Presi. dent. Mir.
