Mr.. Dolph concurred In the main with the
nurpose oil the pending bill, and thought
not win it's details sli the north-
ern, western and Pacific States could
educate their own children; IL the
people OF the southern staten would volun-
tarily tax themselves as much as the people
OF Portland, Oregon, had done, they would
be able TO give all their people as good an
education as majority of the United
States senator's had received in their child
hood.

Hoar wondered whether there was another
senator from the south VINO WIS willing TO
meet no generous proposition as this oil
made, with such clap in the face az had
ihus been given by the gentleman from
North Carolina.
Mr.. Jonas denied most emphatically as
bsseess and caluminou5 any charge that
any people OF the south had any prejudice
against the colored people. "Yuu svmp ha

an poverty bu, they are our felio F-ct e

fields; they mix with our families; they

Mr.. Harrison enQulred whether tbs semi
tor mesut to imD'y that the colored voters
controlled the ctions In his section.
Mr.. Jonas replied they did whcrever.they
mad the numerical right to control them;
they controlled them in some cases in the
interest oi the democratic party, bui
they voted, aud voted freely and quietly.
Mr. Jonas, supposed, however, the senator
from Indiana would not consider they voted

Mr.. Harrison said the senator did him ip-
Justice; he (Hsrrison) Ind bat one desire
and that was t. see every where, throughout
the entire country, that black men and
white men should freely vote and have
their votes fairly counted.
Mr.. Jonas said he shook hands with the
gentleman on that, but he waited to give
the voters the benefit of IN education, and
he hoped the time would come when every
man. woman and child in the
south could be educated by Their
own states, but fthey we're to bs educated
now. aid would be necessary. Mr.. Jonas
replied in the strongest terms the insinua-
tion which had been made that the people
OF the south, or that portion which he In
part represented. would be faithlers with
this trust II confined TO them. "Why. Mr..
President" said he, frye being stiil Ia

WAS proven there 10 was proved that the

extended TO both races.
Mr.. Bntler opposed the bill. The people
OF south Carolina would eventually sue
coed In removing the ilhterrcy. He would
not say 1t would be done in five years or In
ten years, but 1t would be done. Mr.. Bus
