WASHINGTON, March 20.-In the SEN
ate to-day, after Mr.. Cockrell presented
the protest of the Porkpackers' Associa-
ton of st. Louis against the bill for the
inspection of meats. which was re-
ferred, the educational bill was taken
up. After brief remarks by Mr.. Bate,
Mr. Blair rose to close the debate. He
said that he looked upon the education
of the colored people as the solution OF
the race question. But the white peo-
pie constituted the great mass of the
nation, and on their condition depended
the future of the United States and on
the future of the world. The senate
then proceeded to vote on the bill and
amendments. The first vote was on
Moody, of South Dakota, to the effect
shall be included in the calcuIa-
lions. Mr.. Blair said that there was
no objection to the amendments. MIR.
EdmundS took the opportunity of speak
ing to the amendments in order to de-
fend the constitutiOnality Of the bill.
He asserted that there was no moral or
legal obstacle in the constitution to the
bill. He favored the bill for the effect
it would have upon the new states and
upon the Southern states. In the lat
ter it would diminish the friction be-
tween the ignorant blacks and the in
telligent aristocracy. He believed that
when the poor colored people come to
know little more they would see that
the land owner, the man of education
and property, was their best friend,
and that it would be better TO intrust
him with the administration Of local af-
fairs than to
Intrust 1t to Ignorant Men.
Mr.. Moody's amendments we're agreed
to. The senate then proceeded to vote
on the third reading and engrossment
of the bill. When the vote was con-
cluded and it was known that it had re-
suited against the bill Mr.. Blair changed
his vote from aye to no, so as to make
motion to reconsider. rhe result was
