WASHINGTON, D. c., March 17.-Mai.
Charles W. McClammy made a speech
Friday in the committee room on Agri-
culture, in opposition to the lard bill.
The speech was called forth by the re-
port of the sub committee on agricul-
ture The subcommittee, as well as the |
majority on the committee, is said to
favor the bill, but it is understood a ma
jority of the House is opposed to it.
A very comprehensive bill to provide
for national aid to primary education
has been written by no less person
than Judge Albion W. Tourgee, and in
troduced in the House. Judge Tourgee
is opposed to the Blair bill, and his bill
is undoubtedly an improvement on that
of Senator Blair. Tourgee made strong
argument in support of his measure be-
fore the committee on education. Tour
gee is better at framing bills than writing
novels. 1.-The FOOLS Errand" is nota-

case the Ways and Means Committee did
not take suitable action in the matter.
1t is an open secret that the Ways and
Means Committee will take no steps to
materially alter the present status.
Reed positively declined to recognize a
member from our State or Virginia,
thus virtually making any measure look
ing to relief in this respect, an imposSi-
bility. The people of North Carolina
ought to be constantly reminded of the
fact that the Republican House and its
autocratic Speaker are directly to blame
: for every failure this session to lift this
oppressive tax.
