I think I voted with the Senator on that proposition. but if I recollect aright a more important question than that entered into it. and that was that the habits and customs of those people from the great Asiatic empirewere so inconsistent with the habits and customs of the AngloSaxon race that it raised a problem which required the intervening hand of legislation. I think in the debate which took place at that time it was admitted on all hands that if they were ahomogeneouspeople of AngloSaxon blood and capable of assimilation the chief objection to their immigration would be removed.
