testers authorized tie Assistant Secretary to strike
out the words 'aRd refused, after which the Senate
did order the remainder Of said words quoted above
stricken from the journal. Bill No. SO was never be-

the fmputation of refusing TO report TO be stricken
from the Journal and the Senate ordered the other,

and Senate both used their undoubted right

striking out what each believed be untrue and they
both exercised this right on the same day:
AND WHEREAS, 1t Is untrue that the committee did not
report back the two bills referred II untl alter the
bill Of the House reported the Senate-ior said
committee did report back the bills referred TO it four
days before the House bill reported the Sen.

the Senate: Therefore,
Bet resolred That the which governed the
Jory in ordering said words be stricken from the Jour
nal were: That their opinion was that protest, Sin
parliamentary law, Is solemn declaration, made in
writing, by minority o dellberatlve body, TO testify
their dissent from the proceedings of a majority" and
that in this only is it secured to Senators by the
Constitution of the State. The Constitution securing
this parliamentary right does license protestor to

action Of Senator of committees neither does
it allow him TO reasons why bill should not have

was on its passage, why it should not pass And mas

BILL hence the professors misrepresened the action
of the committee; and alluson to the unreported
action O a committee cannot parliamentary be made IN

praise in protest. To the end that the committee
should not be improperly represented and that para-
mentary be maintained such words direct
ed be stricken out that the journals should exhibit
only the truth.
