The Blair Bill.

We see from the Wilmington nStar
under the head Of the "Blair Bill Dis.
sected," that no part Of the surplns
now in the Treasury and wrung from
the people by taxation, is to be used
for education, should that bill become
4 law. But the sum provided for in
''the bill OF $lO,0o0,O00 each year for
eight years, is to be raised by '.axa-
iion on the people and that the much
talked of surplus is to remain in the
treasury so far as the Blair bill is con.
cerned, in fofher words, it is not the
money that the people have already
'psid into the treasury, but money TO
BE raised by taxation. If this is real
ily true, then may the good lord deli
yer MS from the Blair bill. for we ho<
snestly believe that with this knows
ledge OF the facts by the people, there
will not be man woman or child in
the whole State OF North Carolina
who would favor its passage.
As this is a matter of very great
Importance and we believe the masses
do not understand the provisions OF
the Blair Bill, will our excellent con-
tempary the Star do us as well as
the public the favor to publish the bill
for general Information.

Remove the disqualification.

Wilmington Messenger says
.Mr. Newton, Of Louisiana, has intro
duced bill in the House rendering
eligible to the United States army amy
person whs was in the Confederate
army, navy or signal service.
II i i wonder thas bill of this
kind has not been passed before this
year Of grace And the reason Why
il should become law is ersinently a
practical one, into which no conside
ration Ut sentipent or equality need
DO carr.el.
lii the Confederate service We're
men as brave arid devoted as any
that ever fought in any land under
any flag. Many ei them who surviv-
ed he war bave since passed away
into the other world. Some remain
with rs yet, and Of them it may be
said that they would be snperb adj
dition to any service in which they
might enlist. Tie morale Of the U
nited States army, as has been shown
time and aga,n, is by no means what
it should be, and we have the tssii-
mony OF officers Of the regular army
in proof of this assertion.
Ne do not know that any conside
rable number of ,x,Copie.ierafe sol.
diers or sailors ssesire to . ter the ser
vice of the United States. In fact,
we are inclined to believe that there
are but few who would seek snch em-
plnyment We are satisfied that they
would make as good soldiers now as
they did when their duties were
sttrner and mole exacting than any
which will ever be exacted Ut them
again.
Isn't it high time now that we are
go great and nni,sg people, that we
should destroy every war relic which
draws the line CT separation between
two classes of our p, ople. As long as
