Reach White aud colored Aliks.

Blair asked whether or not it 10 proper to
apply the money so it would reach white
children and colored children alike.
Faulkner replied the bill had been justi-
fed OH the ground of illiteracy in States;
when the fund got into the States . third
more would be given to the whites than to
the colored children (on the basis of the
school populxtion) while illiteracy Of col
ored childran IN is forty per cent greater than
the white children. That contrsdicted the
principle of the bill.
Blair said that was misapprehension Of
the bill--a manifest error-and was about
to explain it, but Faulkner declined to
yield the floor for that purpose and pro-
ceeded with his argument. He declared
the bill instead of being (as Blair described
it) a new declaration Of independence,
would be national declaration, on the
part of Congress, of antagonism to the COM
mon school system, and would invite fric-
tol and discord between the sections. He
referred to the fact that Kentucky, which
would receive 81 3l6 900 under the pro-
visions of the bill, Arkansas, which would
receive 81 ,5O3 900. and Texas, which
would receive %, ,920, 900, (all Of which
States were in favor Of the bill some years
ago. had now instructed their Senators to
vote against it. The Legislature Of Geor-
gia, which would receive Sc, 44S 900. (the
largest distribution of any State in the
Union) had recently postponed indefinitely
a resolution approving of the Blair bill.
The four States Che said that wonld
receive Sl7 ,ls5 600 under it IAN amount
equal what the entire North and West
would receive through their legislatures.
rejected its provisions in the interest of
education aud self government He had
perfect faith and absolute confidence in the
present and future of the South. Believing
the bill unconstitutional in it's purpose, un-
fair and unequal in its method of dis
tribution and unwise and hurtful in the
policy inaugurated by it, he appealed to all
sect ons OF the country to unite in defeating
it.
Coke obtained the floor.
PIatt said he should insist after today
that the educational bill. when taken up,
should be discussed and the confederation
continued during every available hour the
Senate would sit until vote was reached.
The bill ought not to block the work Of
important business now on the calendar
