But they will not assimilate with
us, says the Senator from California.
Mr.. HARRIS. If the Senator from
Massachusetts, will allow me to in
quire. should be glad to know if it
would be agreeable to him to yield to
me to move that the Senate proceed
to the consideration of executive busi-
ness, so that we may conclude to-
morrow.
Mr.. HOAR. I think I shall want
to occupy about twenty minutes more,
and I suppose it would be more agree
able to the Senate to have me con-
clnde to-day.
Mr.. HARRIS. Would the Senator
prefer to conclude at the present time,
or will he allow me to move that the
Senate proceed to the consideration Of
executive business?
Mr.. HQAR. It would be more
agreeable to me to proceed this even
ing, unless disagreeable to other gen.
tlemen. IF any gentleman prefers an
adjournment. | of course would not
ask him to stay here and listen to me.
I think I can finish a quarter before
five o'clock
Mr.. HARRIS. OF course I desere
to consult the wishes Of the Senator.
Mr.. HOAR. | wish to make my
statement as compact as / can.
But the Chinese, it is said will not
assimilate with us. 1t is said that the
two races have been side by side for
thirty years and no step taken to-
ward assimilation. It is admitted
that they have learned our industries
rapidly and intelligentlv. That they
do not incline to become Christians
or republicans may perhaps be ac-
counted for by the treatment they
have received. They are excluded by
statute from the public schools. They
have no honest trial by jury. Judge
Blake, of the San Francisco criminal
court. testifes: 1T is true that as a
rule when Chinaman's case goes to
a jury there is no help about it, the
jury must convict him" They are
said to be without sense Of the obi
CATION to tell the truth" They have
failed to profit by the example of
their white instructors and models,
testified to by Judge Blake, Of the
San Francisco criminal court, who
SAYS:
there IS is no help aspSs it. the Jury must
witnesses have eyes seen.9
What he means by poor witness

That is not my statement; yet the
Chinese do not assimilate with those
excellent Christians!
But, Mr.. President, what special in
dncements have the Chinese to become
republicans in a State which has es-
tablished constitution which in arti-
Gle 2, section /, says;

And IN article 19, section 2.
under the laws Of this state shall after the adoption
of this constitution, employ directly or indirectly

enforce this provision.
And in section 3, of the same article:
No CHINESE ahalI be employed on any State, county
municipal, or other PUBLIC work. except In punish
ment for crime.
Then in section 4, same article:
The Legislature shall delegate all necessary power
the incorporated cities and towns of this State for
the removal of Chinese without the limits of such
cities and towns, for their location within pre-
nnrfiGs those limits: and II shall also
