Praises Southern School Privileges

Spooner praised the provisions for the
common school education in the Southern
States. He said the people in these States
had been doing well in the education of the
white and colored children. He had seen,
be sad, no stronger condemnation of the
measure than the argument of the Presi-
dent in his annual message, which the
Senator from New Hampshire considered
an argument in its favor. The President
said such aid should be, a. it always has
been, suggested by some exceptional con-
ditions." Were there, Spooner asked, ex-
ceptional conditions Shich justified the ap-
propriation of money for school purposes

offer to appropriate six millions for school
purposes in New York it would be laughed
at He commented on the TACT that this
hill did not contain the provision that former
bills contained, req iring school books 10
use to have the approval of the Secretary
of the Interior. He supposed its absence
was to be considered as y concession to the
South in order to obtain votes for the bill.
Plumb said that the provision was not
in the bill as reported from the committee,
but had been inserted as an amendment on
his motion.
Blair remarked that the amendment vas
thrown In by the most persistent republican
opponent of the bill. 10 order to tsntalize
and assail The sensitiveness of the South.
Spooner went on to remark upon the in
| conslstencies IN the bill. The funds, he
said, were to be distributed among the
States on the basis of illiteracy, but when
the money reached the States, it vas to be
distributed upon the basis of school popu
