Mr.. Robinson of White Pine, intro
duced a concurrent resolution that q
| committee of seven-four from the As
sembly and three from the Senate-be
appointed to visit and report the condi-
ton of the Nevada Orphan Asylum at
Virginia.
Mr.. Morrison, of Storey, was not OPP
posed to the spirit of the resolution;
thought the institution good one, and
would like to go there himself, but it
seemed to him the Assembly ought to
wait for an invitation, as the Senate had
oeen invited.
Mr.. Drake of Lander, thought the
State Orphan Home should be substitu
led, as that Institution WAS under the
police jurisdiction Of the Legislature
and the Nevada Orphan Asylum was not
Street of E,ko had looked into tn,
matter of the invitation, and believed
that it was really intended for both
houses, but, as it was drawn up by Lady
who was perhaps not very familiar with
legislative usages, the true intent was
not expressed by the language used.
Grey of White Pine had received a
letter from Sister Frederick intimaiine
that she would be pleased to have visit
from the Assembly, and requesting him
to call attention to the matter,
Speaker Bowman read note from
Sister Frederick addressed to himself, in
yiting him aud through him the ''Sen-
ate" to visit the Asylum.
Street L am glad you read that letter:
It confirms what l said, hat she really
Intended to invite this body, but by mis-
AXE had used the word Senate" instead
If Assembly" He hoped the resolu-
ion would pass.
Drake OF Lander, asked what right we
lal to inquire by committee into the af
..irs or management of an institution
)ver which we have no power or author
.ty whatever?
Street replied that we had the same
light as we had to ing ire into the CON
.lition and treatment OF our insane, deaf
lunb and blind WAC were now b in,
AIRED for in private institutions i'll Cali
ornia.
Crawford of Lyon in the chair.
Grey of White Pine sud, some gentlt
men seemed to be afraid that some kin
word for the managers of the Asylum
might grow out of this visit; that tn
tbuse and ISLANDERS sometimes circulated
lbout these women might be refuted.
Bowman of Nye, opposed the alop-
ton of the resolution, and was i'll pos
session Of some facts in regard to this
Asylum which were probably not known
20 many of the me ,;bers, which he pro-
:eeded to state Four years ago these
people asked of the Legislature an APP
preparation of $4,000. The proposition
net with strong opposition, and COM
promise was finally effected by tht
friends of the measure, promising thai
40 further aid would be asked for; that
the State had no similar asylum for it
orphans and ought to make provision
for them until it had provided State
should be made for their care they would
this, two years after, they came III again
and asked for $4,000 more. The fore
runner of that donation vas just such ii
resolution as this. 1t was defeated; but
an adjournment was had over a certain
saturday and nearly all the members
went to Virginia The news got there
ahead of us, whether by telegraph OF
special messenger he could not say, but
members were met at the depot by IA
delegation and conducted through the |
Asylum, and on coming out the members
were met by Father Manogue or some
other Father, taken into the church anu |
treated to sundry bottles of champagne.
Morrison rose to a point of order: W.
are not discussing proposition to do
nate Not well taken
Grey-What has Father Manogue's |
champagne got to do with thisresolution:
Speaker Bowman in the chair.
Morrison was opposed to the resolu-
ton, because the House had not been
invited; would like to go there and look
INTO the management and condition OF
the Asylum; was not afraid of those peo-
ple-not afraid that visit to them would
influence his vote on proposition for
IN appropriation; believed they were
good people, and that they were doing ii
great deal of good, but did not want his
motives impugned.
Street said he concurred in many OF
the views expressed by the gentleman
from Storey, who had spoken with hi
usual good sense and fairness, bui
thought we should not bubble about the
invitation because it had not been
couched in the most perfect parliament
tary phraseology.
Drake offered as resolution:
