Senators ought to remember that the civilization of China is not the civilization of this country. While it is a civilization that is upon a high plane in many direction. it is upon an exceedingly low plane in another. So far as their handicraft is concerned they are a wonderful people. but there are other qualities which go to make up desirable immigrants which they do not possess. So. obeying this mandate of their superior intelligence. the Six Companies. they said "We will not sign." There is a large number of these people who are in this country who have thus nut themselves in antagonism to the law. Whether they should now be deported is another question. Whether they have some excuse to give to us and say. "Now. having made a mistake as to the law. we think you ought to extend it and give us an opportunity to register hereafter." is another question. When that comes up I shall act upon it as I think I ought.
