llsh what | suppose the senator proposes
to accomplish, that is that persons duali-
lied by law to serve on juries shall not be
rejected because of race, color or previous
condition of Servitude. Very clearly they
ought not to be rejected for any such
cause. Ifhis object is to insert something
which be thinks will otherwise make us
vote against it, and make it appear on the
record that we are voting against the race
and color clause, I think it is unfair. We
do not think congress has a right to pre-
scribe qualifications of jurors in state,
nor to prescribe penalty for non-compii-
ance with the laws of state in regard to
examining jurors. Ii the senator will
strike out the words, ''or any state," we
will cheerfully vote for the amendment.
After discussions By Senators Conkling
and Hill the amendment was rejected
ayes IA, nays 26.
Senator Conkling renewed Senator Ed
munds' amendment, with the words, "or
any state" stricken out. Lost.
Senator Edmunds moved to strike oui
the words requiring the commissioner ap
pointed by the judge to put names in the
box, to be a we'll known member of the
principal party opposing that to which the
clerk may belong, The amendment wa:
rejected-yeas Is, nays 80.
The committee amendment, being sub
stitute for the original bill, was then agreed
to-yeas 80, nays Is.
Senator Edmunds moved to recommi
the bill. Lost.
Senator Edmunds then made a speech
on the bill at some length, and the senate
adjourned.
