Work FOR SENATOR BLAIR MEAN
At HAND. --Senator Blair, Of New +.
Hampshire, has exhibited tho kvehest
interest in the education Of the people
Of the south. especially the culore pot.
lion OF the population. anil his maine
is chiefly known to fame in connect
ion with his bill providing federal aid
TO supplement the facilities alrea iy
furnished by the various States.
Strangely enough. neither he nor any
of the other Senators of his party, who
are constantly bemoaning the condo
tion Of the negro at a distance. has
Thought it worth while to establish a
school or to make any other provision
or the comfort and well-being OF the
negro settlement at Arlington, within
eight almost of the Capitol. Tile con
disiou OF the negf6es bnddlea toSath-
er on what is b6w q government rfe-
ervation is 'eescrthei as approaching
'barbstfsm. They have no school. and
their general condition ia said to be
steadily going from bad to worse.
Charity, We are told, ought always to
begin at home, and Senator Blair and
HE associates might profit ably cx-
pend little OF the sythbSthy; OF
which they are so lavish when only
the defiant negro Is concerned upon
tho negro who Is close at hand. and
probably in far greater heed Of spme
