TUB TO TIE BLACK WHALE
a SOUTHERN RADICAL SCHEME
TO MAXI CAPITAL

I
is to frame bill making appropriation
= for the establishment and maintenance {
industrial schools or colleges in Souiher
States. The entire scheme is chea
"bluG'' designed to conciliate the negroes
the South. It was devised by McComa.
of Maryland, who though in RepuNs-sa
district, was defeated because o: his alvo
cacy OF the Force bill. The plan Is sup
ported by McCOmas and Mudd, OF Mary
land: Browne and WaddIll, OF Virginia
Evans, Ot Tennessee: Coleman, Of Louisiana
and other Southern Republicans, none o
whom will act in the next House. 1hei
theory is that the Blair Education
bill, having been defeated, tner
Is no chance for Southern Repub
Leans 10 redeem pledges made 4
their constituents on that line. The entir'
scheme is impracticable. so far as this Con
gress is concerned, to say the least. 1t Il
| conceded that all the remaining time OF the
session will be required to pass apprOpria
tiOn bills and kindred measures, and tha
no matter how meritorlOus new measure
might be, it would not stand a ghost Of q
show. The Committee on Rules j.
overwhelmed with appeals for orders
setting apart days tor measares now
lighthouse bills, etc. IL is doubtful II even
the orignators Of this scheme entertain
any serious idea Of pressing II this session
Naturally they hope 10 return to public life
/ In all their districts the negroes are com
/ planning at the defeat OF the BAR bill, and
/ these defeated statesmen hope to keep alive
their political fealty by saying to tuem in
