The time is at hand now for drastic remedies to be applied. When the truth is known it will be of the character referred to by the Senator from Utah. it will be found that it was an alien of that lawless character who carried the explosive to the dooryard of the Attorney General of the United States not long since. when in the northwest section of this city we had an explosion which shook window frames. as it did mine and the room where I was at work. I know what it means. and when such a violation of the right of sanctuary occurs. whether those who enjoy it are political refugees or merely aliens within our limitswhen such violence occurs. when an officer of the United States. a Member of the Cabinet whose only offense. if any. to this brood is that he is prosecuting them under the laws of our country for gross crimes committedwhen such lengths are reached in our country it is time that in this Chamber we go to the extreme limit of constitutional authority in order to rid our shores of their unwelcome presence. I wish to preserve as zealously as any Senator in this Chainher the reserved rights of the States. I will go as far and have as many scruples as any upon that question. but when it comes to a question of ridding ourselves of these dangerous pests. murderous in character. destructive of our laws. and destructive of property. it is time.
