BELL says; The bill introduced by me, in relation
to pledges made by candidates before political con-

shall be binding upon the parties who have made
them, under the penalty of felony This bill is
directly aimed at the shameless apostqcy of

true to their pledges. The people will UNANIMOUSLY
indorse the measure.
Mr.. LANE moved that the bill be rejected.
Mr.. BRAUNHART-lt seems to Inc this is very
strange motion. there is nothing in this bill that is
insolent to the House. The rule certainly did not

House to reject any bill.

RESOLUTIONS
By Mr. YoRk-Resolved That a committee of
three be appointed to act with similar committee
already appointed by the Senate and examine into
the facilities for heating this house. Adopted.
The SPEAKER appointed Messrs York, Morse and
Maybell
By Sir Fox-A resolution recalling bills Nos. T.
5 and 10 from the Committee Chinese lmmigra-
tion and referring them to the Committee on Ju-
dietary.
Mr. Fox-I have no doubt about the proper inten-
ton of the in having these bills sent to the
Committee on Chinese Immigration, but there is
not a word about Chinese in them. They have no
reference to Chinese. They are p-rely on the sub
ject of who shall and who shall not pay licenses
Now If these gentlemen wish to defeat such legisla
tion may be had by this Legislature all they have
to 90 is to give it the character of class legis-
lation. Make it show, so far as it can
be done, that it is intended to strike
certain class, and hey will find that the Federal
Courts that have been so willing TO protect aliens
in the past will be ready to protect them in the
future. They had better avoid any suspicion of
class legislation.
Mr.. BRAUNHART-It seems so strange that the gen.
tlemen of the licary are so anxious to pass upon
bills which relate TO Chinese, and Chinese alone. 1t
is true have not mentioned the word Chinese in
these bills but they do refer to Chinese. All such
legislation ought to be referred to the Committee
Chinese immigration. | propose to introduce a
resolution defining the duties of the Committee on
Chinese immigration.
On motion Of Mir. ANTHONY, the motion to take
these bills from the committee was tabled.
Mr. ANTHONY offered the following rule ::
The Committee on Chinese Immigration and EIni-
grafton stall consist Of nine members" Referred
to the Committee on Rules,
RESOLUTIONS.
BY Mr.. DIT BRUTz-A resolution paying E. Allen
for five days services as Mail Carrier. Adopted.
By Mr.. MERRY-Resolyed by the Assembly the
Senate concurring That the Committee on Rules
and Regulations il the Assembly unite with like
committee Of the Senate, in preparing and reporting
a set of joint rules for the Assembly and Senate
Adopted.
BY Mr. BRAUNHARr-'' 1t shall be the duty OF the
Committee on Chinese immigration aud Emigration
to take into consideration all propositions Telativs
to the tendency of Chinese labor upon the political
social, physical, moral and financial condi ion of the
State
Mr.. NAY-Mr Speaker l am opposed to the
res 3lution am opposed to having financial bills
20 to tn Committee Chinese immigration. 1t is
not the prop way to do business. The scope of
this is even more perncious than the effect of the
just taken. want to have it understood right
here and now that my voice will never give any I'M
certain sound upon the floor Of this House on that
question. But we must exercise some wisdom and
some policy in handling this matter. The gentle
man from Alameda struck the keynote when he
said that reference Of such bills to the Committee
on Chinese would defeat them before the Courts.
These are questions that must be tested before
the United States Courts and the plea will BE- set
up there by these Chinese and their defenders . at
this was class legisiat on directed at ihem. Now,
when they claim that any Act passed here was III
the nature of class legislation directed at them,
want to be in position to deny it. But suppose
they spring the journal of this House there, aud
show that all these measures were referred 10 the
Committee on Chinese, that viii tie the question.
There is more to be said in answer to such an arSu
ment. It is unwise. Let these questions that have
reference to the Chinese go to the proper commit
tees Those having reference TO public morals let
them go to the Committee on Public Morals those
having reference to revenue, to the Committee
Ways and Means and so on Now, | appeal to
you gentlemen, do YOU want these ques
tons discussed solely by the Committee on
Chinese. Would it not be better to let
questions such as this go to the Judiciary
Committee, to the Committee Ways and
Means. How, ask, is the Committee on Ways and
Means properly to consider and adjust the revenue
of the State for twelve months unless they have
within their grasp the entire system of the
state How will the Committee Ways and Means
perform their duties pr pery il you take this class
Of questions away from themf They must have
them there before their eyes, and then consider the
whole matter, before they make an intelligent
report to the hou e. | will say that | haven't
the slightest idea that the interest the gentleman is
champOning will suffer in the least by such refer
ence. / notify him that | believe am with
him every proposition connected with that maj
ter but it is not best for to pass whoesa reso-
lutlons here declaring that every question that
comes before this house, referring to anything i
tine world having the word Chinese in it, must go to
that committee.
On motion of Mr.. Fox, the resolution was ordered
to lie on the table for one day and be printed.
By Mr.. BRAUNHART- Re solved, That the following
be added to the rules " On Labor ami Capital, to
consist of eleven members, to consider all subjects
in relation to the interests of labor and capital
which may be referred to them, and report their
recommendation thereon
On motion of MIR. Fox it was ordered to lie on
the ablefo one day and be printed.
Mr.. ANTHONY gave notice that he would introduce
an amendment to Rule 4.
