The Blair educational bill, which recently passe J the senate, provides that no state or territory shall receive the benefit of the act till the gov ernor files with the secretary of the interior a statement certified by him, show in" the character of the com mon school system in foroe m the state or territory, the amount of money expended thereon dnring the last preceding school year, whether any discrimination is made in raising or distributing the school revenues, or in the school facilities afforded be tween white and colored children, and as far as practicable the source from which such revenues were de rived, the manner in which the reve nues are apportioned to the schools, fh number of white and colored schools, and tho average attendance and length of the school term. None of the money is to be expended in ntiv state or territory that has not provided a system of private schools fnrall its children without distinc tion of race or color. The bill further provides that the amount so apportioned to each state or territory shall be drawn from the treasury by warrant on the secretary of the treasury on the monthly esti mates of the secretary of the inte rior, and shall be paid over to snob, officer as shall be authorized by the laws of the respective states and ter ritories to receive the same. The money is to be expended in giving the children purely a common school education. It is provided that no greater part of the money appropri ated shall be paid out to any state or territory in any one year than the sum expended out of its own reve nue, or out of the money raided un der its authority in the preceding year for the maintenance of common schools, not including the sum ex pended for erecting school buildings. Provision is made for the education of teachers in training schools, who shall agree to devote themselves ex clusively for at least one year after leaving said school to teach in the common schools for such compensa tion as may be paid other teachers. No part of the fund is to be used in erecting school buildings or for the rent of the same. The money dis tributed shall be used only for com mon schools, not sectarian in char acter, in the school districts of the several states and territories, in suoh a way as to provide, as near as can be, for the equalization of school privileges to all children of a school age provided in the state wherein the expenditure is made. The bill is explicit in providing for the distribution of mouey for educa tional purpose without distinction of race or color. No second or subse quent allotment shall bo made under the act to any state or territory unless the governor of such state or territory shall first file with the secretary of the interior a statement, certified by him, giving detailed accounts of the payments or disbursement for a por tion of the fund allowed to his state or territory. A provision is made for the expenditure of the money, in ac cordance with whioh the officials of the states and territories charged with the distribution of the same are held to a rigid accountability. Tho secretary of the interior is given power to hear and examine tho com plaints of misappropriation or unjust discrimination in the use of the fund. He is required to report to congress tho result. Ho is also charged with a proper administration of the act in the territories through a commis sioner of education, and shall report annually to congress the practical operation of the law, and briefly the condition of education as affected thereby throughout tho ountry. Massachusetts is making a dead set against illiteracy. A bill is to be favorably reported by her legislative committee, which will prohibit under suitable penalties the employment of illiterate minors. It provides that no minor under fourteen years of age shall be employed except during the vacation of tho public schools, and all those under fourteen, resident one year where evening schools are main tained, unless able to read and write the English language correctly, shall be employed under penalty. This will bo the first compulsory law of the kind ever passed in the United States. The American minister has de manded of the Haj tien government the payment of 3100,000 indemnity for American losses on account of the riots in September last, and the surrender of the mole of St. Nicholas as guarantee that the money be paid. The German claims amount to 500, 030, the French claims to an equal sum, and the English claims to S250, 000, EcFEBRrxa to tho CincinnHti out break, the London Times informs the American people that "one way to lesssn the difficulty of preserving order is to seenre decent administra - uon or justice, where the political Wand the criminal lawyer will no way." That hits the nnil squarelv on the head. m x. xzr,- ' ... -m. mctui ,r rnwrn !b lauing rapidly, ana it is feared his dissolu- tioaig & question of the near future. POUT OF ANTWERP. In 1883 the tonnage of Antwerp! reached 3,734,42S registered tons. This marvelous development is partly due to the position of Antwerp as the embarking point from the continent of Europe to America, and partly also to the recent additions and changes which have been carried out there, and which, now nearly entirely completed, have made this cosmopol itan port one of tho best organized, in the world. This is so well known that vessels bound for Switzerland with a cargo of corn from Russia pass Marseilles and go two thousand miles out of their way for the pur pose of unloading at Antwerp. No other port, in fact oners the same facilities. There is not another place in the world where fifty vessels of 3,000 tons can come alongside as easily as the penny boats on the Thames run into tho landing stages. As soon as a vessel is against the quay the hydraulic cranes, always in read iness, are set in motion and the un loading commences. Not a moment is lost. It needs but a couple of days to remove 3,000 tons of mer chandise from the hold of a vessel to the railway truck wait ing near at hand. Many important lines running from Bremen and Ham burg, the Peninsular and Oriental company, and a great many English vessels select that port to complete their cargo and take on their passen gers. They embark, for instance, wire from Germany, and glass, window-panes and machinery from Bel gium, and other goods. The largest sailing vessel in the world, the Three Brothers, landed her cargo of 18,000 quarters of corn at Antwerp, and made several voyages between that port and San Francisco. Not only Belgium's exports are shipped abroad there and these are considerable but Germauy sends her steel by that route to the United States, who, in return ship back immense quantities of corn, salted provisions and petro leum, and South America wool and skins. Seoretaby Ltxooln resembles his father in personal appearance only from tho eyes up. He is not so tall or gaunt in figure as his father, nor is the lower part of his face so nar row, but the resemblance in the eyes and forehead is so marked that the secretary sat for what is considered the best portrait ever painted of his father. It will require fully $230,000 more to complete the work of erecting the Bartholdi statue in New York harbor, and there seems little probability of the money being raised. A Boston paper asserts that there is no Republican newspaper of any influence in Massachusetts which is not in favor of Edmunds for presi dential candidate. The United States of Columbia in South America seem to be in a bad way. During the last three adminis trations the deficit amounted to over $20,000,000. Last year there were 34,011 deaths in New York city and 28,972 births. Of the -whole number of birthis, 19, 520, or 70 per cent, weie of foreign parentage. SiiiVERr and tho slave trade are carried on to this day in Angola un der the Portuguese flag; the Congo treaty will assuredly add to it. The two black pashas,whose treach ery caused the recent defeat of Gen. Gordon's troops, have been court martiallcd and shot. A I'livn of one-million one-dollar bills would be forty-five feet high. If you have any doubt about this make a pile. N'BW TO-DAY FOR RENT, Nowlj" Finished Rooms In Suites Or THREE ROOMS: SUITABLE FOR f.imllits ; the bet rooms and best loca t on in the ray.
