as unfinished business and Teller addressed the
Senate in support of it. Speaking of the race
problem, he said it was SO great that II might
not be solved. If the Southern people and
| negroes could not live together in a state of
political equality and political harmony, there
was an end 10 republican government IN one
third, at least of the area of the United states.
He had no key 10 the solution, but he believed
that education might in some respect help to
solve it. If the colored people were educated,
the chances would be better that the races
would live together on better terms. Ignorance
and vice went hand in hand. If the South alone
were able and willing to try to educate the coll
ored race, the people of the North would not
complain; but If the South lacked either the
desire or ability, il was right and proper that
the North should come TO Its aid
George said that II the Senators on both sides
of the chamber were 10 come to solution OF the
question if solution were possible, with the
charity, kindness and good feeling exhibited by
the Senator from Colorado, good deal OF
trouble would be removed.

debt OF gratitude. There was not hardly
toiler throughout the length and breadth of the

and associate it with the greatest glory and re-
nown OF the country.
Banks reviewed in eulogistic language the
career of General Fremont and dwelt with en-
thusiasm upon his services IN preserving the
Pacific coas, 10 the United States. Had it not
