Tho Chair, Mr.. Carpenter, said tha
j. tho remark was out Of order. :
Mr. Sargent said that Mr.. Edmund
must OF known that he was misrepresent
ing him when he (SArgent) had 90 oitel
expressed his opinion on this floor direct
ly opposite 10 those Of the Democratic
party. -....- -,
Nj. EdmundS said that he accepted III,
apology Of the gentleman.
Mr.. SARGENT make no apology AZ all
3 MIR. Edmunds said that Senator Bar
t gent had alluded 10 the influence Of {
, certain church against the common
schools, and expressed his opinion thal
, that influence would be made stronger
by Congress passing this bill. As lille
, as he (Edmunds) agreed with thai
Church In It's religious teachings
he must sayit never made any distinction
. In It's great works on account OF race OF
color. In his opinion the Iedeeming trail
Of the Catholic Church was the fact that
, It never Disseminated agalnst race
or color. However misguided its
belief might be, It's beneyolence was
world wide and itB mantle Of charity was
everywhere, no matter what might be the
creed, color or nationality. He did not
think the argument made by the Senator
should be brought into this chamber, and
he hoped the time was far oftswhen any
question would have 10 be discussed here
on sectRrian grounds. -
