That the bill before the House is a bill relating to immigration. and the amendment which is now offered as a substitute by the gentleman from Ohio would embrace every building owned by the Government of the United States. It goes far beyond the question of immigration. It would forbid the sale of liquor in the Capitol. It would forbid the sale of liquor in any building anywhere owned by the Government of the United States. It is entirely beyond the province. of the present pending bill. and is in no way a restrictiou upon immigration. because any building in the United States is subject to entry by an alien. No amendment or substitute would cover all the buildings owned by the United States. It is not a restriction upon immigration. and. in my opinion. it is not germane to the bill.
