providing means to support our public
schools. mmizm
“In my opinion, the time has cornu
when the state should provide a homo

and in the interest, of the negro race, I
recommend an amendment, to the con
stitution providing for a qualified suf
frage based on an educational or a prop
erty qualification, or both.
"I earnestly recommend that this law

should continue, or neAV conventions
should be made, slightly adding to the
old treaties or cancelling the old treaties
and negotiating neAV ones. Any of these
plans may be adopted and when China
has approved them further special regu
lations can be made in each case as re
quired.
Article 4. This convention will be
made by China Avith the combined pow
ers to cover the general principles Avhich
apply alike to all. After this settle-1
ment, the foreign ministers Avill remove 1
the seals they caused to he placed in va-1
rious parts of the tsnng li yamen and j
then the yamen ministers may go to the'
yamen and attend to business as usual. |
And further, each poAver should arrange I
its oavu special affairs Avith China sc
that separate treaties may be settled in
due order. When the various items oi
indemnity are all arranged properly 01
an understanding has been reached
about them the poAvers will successively
AvithdraAV their troops.
