that it was strongly in favor of his bill. will
say tomorrow:
MIR. Blair yesterday classed this paper among
the supporters of his educational bill. The Id

terms of the Blair BILL and so argued. Now
that this state has gone ahead and increased
her appropriations for schools, with
an evident disposition to make even
further increase as her revenue will
warrant, we prefer to depend on ourselves.
Under federal administration that had proper
regard for the rights of the states there might
be no harm to come from the measure but
with such bigoted, and narrow minded men to
administer the laws as those now in control, we
prefer, for our part. to let it alone When Mr.
Blair said he favored, and urged the measure to
build up the Republican party in the south, the
advertiser lost whatever interest it had previ-
ously felt in the bill. Strike the Advertiser

a brief rest. On his return announcement

probably be either by suit for salary or by
quo warranto proceedings. The republicans
manifest a strange willingness to have
the case taken into the courts
which has somewhat puzzled the
democrats. A remark dropped
by republican to-day throws
some light upon the matter ''You don't
suppose" said he, that we would have
turned Mr. Pendletan out in that way if we
had not known just what the supreme court
thought about it," In somewhat more
guarded terms he then intimated that

Be Adjusted.


PEsTH, March 7.-After a conference
with the emperor to-day Count Won Tisza
appeared in his usual place in the lower
House of the diet. He stated that differ
ences existed in the cabinet regarding tile

ting but Count Won Tisza opposed the mo-
tion, declaring that he hoped the cabinet
differences would be settled. He denied
that grave ministerial crisis had yet
arisen.

on the militia bill. The opposition tried to

signal. The proposition was rejected by a
vote of III to rs.
The Pesther Lloyd states that Count
Tisza has offered to resign and that the
emperor reserves his decision in the matter.
