Mr.. Dubois-tr II is given back 10
them | have no doubt 1t win be used N
good work, in missionary work, and

dress a few remarks 10 the senate Oh 1t,
before anybody else gets the floor,
The Vice Presdent-~The amendment

The Secretary~-At the Same point IN
the bill 1t is proposed 10 insert the fol-
lowing proviso;
Provided That $500 be appropriated
TO defray the expense OF those who

Mr.. McLaurin--Mr. President ia ref
erence 10 the form OF the amendment,
should myself prefer to put it in differ
emit phraseology II | had time, but
did not see this provision in the bill
until q few minutes ago, and have not
had an opportunity while this discus
sion has been going on 10 prepare an
amendment which meets in some re-
spects my idea Of the justice OF this
case. II had time TO prepare an elao-
crate amendment ] should prepare one
that probably would be In better
phraseology Than this.
In reference to the suggestion Of the
senator from Tennessee GMT- Carmackl
that this is a mere voluntary act,
think an act OF Justice ought always to
be voluntary, and I do not think that
the senate OF the United States or the
Congress OF the United States ought to
wait until demand Is made TO do an ACT
OF Justice when IL is apparent that II
ought 10 be done
Mr.. CarnlaCk--Sir. President
The Vice President-Dies the senator
from Mississippi yield to the senator
from TENNESSEE

Mr.. Carrna ck-Dles the senator from
Mississippi claim that the United States
ought TO pay money to any person VINO
Is not even asking for II?
Mr.. McI1aurin--l think IL 1t owes the
money or II it is just, that 1t ought TO-
T think the United States government,
like an Individual ought not to walt to
be dunned 1 think when AN individual
has the money and owes a just debt
that the individual ought to pay II, ana
so, | think with the government Here
Is a proposition to pay one OF the con-
testants, and in thar same proposition
there is proposition, which 1 make, 10
pay the other.
Mr.. Bacon--Will the senator peffnV
me to ask him a question:
