 TIE Blair bill fails in the house of it's friends, the senate having rejected it. It is a pity. There was need of its passage, though less need than there was ten years ago, and less than there will be ten years hence. The changes since the last vote upon it were not many, but sufficient to change the result. Senators Platt and Hawley voted as before, the former in favor and the latter against it. Gen. Hawley argues that experience demon strates that when the general government once assumes responsibility that belongs to the individual state it seldom if ever lays it down, and that the effort to make it's aid to state school funds merely temporary would not be successful.
