Not being in the majority I am not responsible for the smothering of that iniant if there was any smothering done. It is his own friends thaV have smothered it if any persons have. and if they did I expect they did an act of great mercy to the Senator. not to say to the Senate. But notwithstanding his having offered a bill. which he says was smothered in committee. to repeal and abrogate all Chinese treaties relating to immigration. he is here today to announce his purpose to support a bill to carry the last treaty into effect. which he says is a fraud and a sham. Now. his constituency on the Pacific coast will perhaps be able to understand whether or not the Senator is sincerely the friend of proper treaty relations between the United States and China. or whether this is an effort by gathering up scraps out of newspapers to castsome odium or some slur upon gentlemen engaged in negotiations between this country and a foreign country. Without quoting a familiar adage. which relates to the condition of the bird that is not very careful about its domicile.
