point.
Mr.. Merrimon-The point make is this,
the constitution does not say anything
about race except in certain respects. 1t
provides expressly that there shall be no
discrimination on account of race or color
as to the matter Of voting; it does that
in terms; but there is no such expression
touching distinctions as to race In any
other respect whatsoever.
Mr.. MortOn-The constitution in effect
does say so. 1t says that no person shall be
denied the equal protection of the laws;
and If common schools are established and
the children of cOlOred men are excluded
from those schools, ask my friend-and
he can not deny it for q moment-if they
are not denied the equal protection of the
laws9
Mr.. Merrimon-I cay they are not, if like
provision is made for the education Of
cOlored children that is made for white
children. And now with the Senator's
permission l will put another question.
prevalent in the State of California, as they
are likely to d. and the State of California
should desire to make system of schools
for the Chinese and a system for the natives.
Will the Senator contend that in that case
it is not competent for the State of Califor-
MIA to do thatl Or suppose that portion
of the population of any State should be
Indians, will the Senator contend that In
such case the State would not have power
to provide one class of schools for the In
dams and another for the white people,
making their rights equal in reference to
schools except as to the distinction on &C.
count of color and rscel
Mr.. Morton-If understand the scope of
the Senator'S question he now admits, in
effect. as did the Senator from Ohio yester.
day. that if the State law excludes the
coiored children from the schools entirely,
that is violation Of the fourteenth amend
ment. -,
Mr.. Merrimon-I admit that with all its
force. But the point make is this; that it
is competent for tho State to make dis
tinction on account of race or color If it
shall make the same provision for the black
it is - much in the power Of the State a.
