Mr.. MORGAN ON THE RACE PROBLEM
Mr.. Morgan proceeded to address the Senate
on the subject of the bill heretofore introduced
by Mr.. Butler to provide for the emigration Of
persons Of color from the southern states. He
said that when Mr.. Window was a member of
the Senate he had advocated proposition for
voluntary emigration Of the colored people.
He (Mr. Morgan) was then in favor Of
that policy and was still in favor of
any plan that could be devised TO meet the
evil. He had reached the conclusion that
there was natural incongruity and an ire
pressible conflict between the races which
nothing could cure except their final sepa-
hn nf,1rr nt tbnr "a fr,a
was the final and only solution of the problem.
ANTAGoNIsM OF WHITES AND BLAcKs.
1t was undeniable that the aversion be-
tween the two races had greatly increased
since slavery was abolished; and it would in
lation was of the African race. Experience
would not permit the statement that such
feeling of aversion existed only in the south.
1t was not 30 intense in the south
as it was in the north. 1t was
not SO strong between the negro and his for
mer master as it was between the negro and
those who never owned slaves. Separation of
the races was'the only thing that would ex-
tinguish race aversions. In Africa (Which was
prepared for the negro as certainly as the
Garden OF Eden was prepared for Adam and
Eve) the negro could grow up to the full meas
ure OF his destiny.
POSSIBILITIES IN AFRICA.
In the Congo basin were fonnd the best types
of the African race, and the American negro
would find there field for his efforts. There
were grand possibilities there for the Amer
lean negro if they were 80 kind to their breth-
rem in Africa as the people Of this country had
been to them.
Mr.. Morgan quoted largely from a book on
Africa, written by Portuguese, MIR. Montiero,
who had spent many years in Africa, to show
the debased character of the negroes there.
He also quoted from a book written by MIR.
Johnson, an Englishman. to the like effect.
The tribes of the coast line. he said, although
subject to the civilizing influence of mission
aries for four hundred years. were Just as bar
barous as the tribes in the interior.

THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL
Mr.. McComas CMd) offered resolution that
the House resolve itself into committee of the
whole for the consideration of the District of
Columbia appropriation bill-the committee to
be governed by the rules Of the last Congress-
Mr.. Breckinridge (Ky.) called Mr.. McComas
attention to the fact that both Mr.. Dockery
(Mo.) and Mr.. Clements (Ga.) members of the
subcommittee of the committee on appropria-
tions. were absent on account Of sickness and
asked that the bill be not considered today.
Mr.. McCOmas said that SO ia az he knew
there was no difference in regard to the bill ex-
listing between his democratic colleagues and
himself, and he insisted upon pressing his reso-
luton.
Mr.. Breckinridge thereupon raised the ques-
tion OF consideration against the resolution.
The Speaker ruled that the question Of con-
sideration could not be raised against the reso-
luton because the resolution was in the nature
| Of q motion regulating the business Of the
House.
Mr.. Breckinridge called attention to the fact
| that the resolution went further than that and
| provided for the adoption Of code of rules
| but the Speaker maintained his position.

ion, and yielded the floor to Mr.. Carlisle (Ky.),
