Mr. Speaker. ordinarily I should not oppose a rule for the consideration of the immigration bill. under the rules of the Ilouse. although under the ordinary rules of the House. without a special rule. the inmnigration bill could be taken up on next Wednesday for consideration. but when gentlemen. like the gentleman from Georgia and the gentleman from Pennsylvania . say that this is not a drastic rule it occurs to me that they have not very carefully examined the rule for which they voted in the committee. If the previous question had not been ordered upon the rule. I should have offered for the consideration of this bill. as a substitute. a rule copied from one of those drastic rules reported by the gentleman from Pennsylvania in his palhny days in the House. when the Democratic side of the House was accusing him of all sorts of tyranny.
