THE BLAIR BILL
MIR. BLAIR AGAIN ASSAILS
THE PRESS.
SENAqB'S SMELLING COMMITTEE
nr. DoIph Subjects Senators to an In.
quisition That Enltzhtsns Nobody
on tho suIjset OF Secret Session
Leakage.

WASHINGTON, March s.-Mr. Blair
again entertained the senate yesterday
afternoon with vigorous defense of
his pet educational bill, which has of
late been assailed by such distinguished
Republican senators as Messrs. Spooner,
Plumb and Hale. Mr.. Blair said he
was not mistaken as to the source from
which most of the Misrepresentation at
the north had come. The Jesuitical
power of the country had decided that
the way to get control of the schools
was first to get the control of the press.
The press had received its full share of
attention and had manifested its full
share of subserviency.
He read extracts from letter re-
ceived from a member of the New York
Press club asking for a copy of his
speech SO as to learn something about
the bill. This, he said, showed that
even newspaper man in New York
could find out nothing from the press
there about the bill
Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va) 1886-1890, 1890-03-09
A Truculsnt Press,

The New York papers, Mr. Blair de-
clared, were monopolies of the worst
kind and the country papers had been
perverted and poisoned by them. Even
the Republican party in the north had
been induced by Misrepresentation to
turn its backSon the natural impulses of
republicanlsn and oppose the bill, but
when it got the facts, as it would some
day, that truculent press would tell
different story.
He spoke of The Boston Globe and
Herald as opposed to the bill and said
every Democratic paper in New York
city had once supported it, naming in
that connection The Herald, World,
Times and Evening Post. lnconclusion,
Mr.. Blair said he mad further statements
to make on another occasion and that
Mr.. Higgins would speak in support OF
tile bill on Monday.
