pending for notion ho wis impelled to vote
against It and desiroa to stnto his reasons
for doing so Ho agreed with the senator
from Now Umipshiro as to the neccssltj for
nduc ition mid could not withhold the tribute
of his respect and adinlrnt'on ' for the suporrj
industr ) , courage ability aud constancy
with which Mint senator had pressed the
subject on the consideration of the senate
and the countrv deferring to the claim
• that the republican pirtj wai pledged to
support the bill ho read an extract from M o
republican national platform md denied that
it contained n committal of the party to the
bill It could liar ( IK with justice
be said to bo a part ) measure and ho sub
mlttcd that no proposition ought to bo a
party measure Ho ngroed it was for the
state not for the federal government to do
elnro what school ej stem the At ito should
Invo Ho asserted his belief that sineo the
oill wns intioducod in 1&"J0 there had coma
* ever the countrv tl greit < ban go of fooling
to its cxpcdionc ) Ono strong evidence
of that was the attitude of the nowspnpers
1 of the countrv during the discussion In the
nouhwest several leading republican papois
ras ) opposed the measure Several of
the southern stntos were opposed
to It through their senators Tlio
leading papers of the south weio
no longer In favor of It Mr Spoonor went
on to speaK In terms of prniso of the pro

southern states and said that the people in
these states had not enl ) been doing well in
the education of whlto children , but had
been doing well in the education of the col
ored children Ho had seen , ho said
stronger condemnation of the measure than
the uigumont of the president in his annual
message which the senator frim New
Hampsh'ro considered as an argument in its i
fav or The president had said
Such uid should be as it alvvavs had been i
suggested by some exceptional conditions "

the people as with individuals self help was
