Journalistic tongues with less freedom,
or "take o walk" The Speaker
showed these resolutions to some of
his agrieved collegues, who, upon re-
1ection, deemed them too sweeping in
their language, and calculated to con-
vey the impression that the LEGISLATURE
was endeayoring to choke, or at least
obstruct, fair and honest criticism
OF its actions by the public press. Ac-
eordingly the resolutions were revised
into milder form and offered.
But, presto! he Republican members
who we're before in favor of reprimand-
ing their journalistic friends suddenly
changed their minds as completely as
they changed front on the fical bill at the
crack OF the party lash, and the member
who so readily prepared the first draft of
the resolutions was too anxious TO hide
tn real paternity Of bis own offspring.
"Oh, well" hs said, in explanation, "I've
always been on good terms with the lit
tie fellows, and j don't want TO anger
them" But he has since seen the Speak
er meanly abused over the resolutions
which he conserved aud charged with
having them prepared SO gratitiy per-
obh"i SPANNt ohh hONCl ObNb hDclltu Da5
mouth to set him straight before the
House or the public.
This is plain statement of facts. IL
seems to me they need no. comment.
have no desire to lavish any effusive
praise upon Speaker Williams, but will
say that the general opinion here is that
lie presides over the House with dignity
and extreme fairness; and that as far As
ability 10 dispatch business and know
ledge OF parliamentary rulings are con-
cerned he is the peer OF the many sx.
cellont gentlemen who have occupied his
official position IN the past. ] know he
/, thorough gentleman, IN every sense
Of the word.
NOTES.
The passage by The Senate ofthe fiscal
bill will end the the City Councils ligis-
lative business.
No matter what ultimately becomes Of
Mr.. Van Burkalow's "lottery BILL" the
clause relating TO the printing of lottery
lltkets will he stricken out. This will
leave undisturbed the lottery printing
establishment Of Mr.. w. ID. Maxwell, in
Wilmington.
