week.
On motion of Rep. IIayselden,
the house proceeded to the order of
the dny.
Jair,; resGing of TN acy 10 mend
sec. 5l7 of .'iclc ), Gill CoGe
relating to liouor duties. On mo.ioA
of Noble Cleghorn, shc bill passes.
Third reading OF an ;ct Hmcnda-
tory of sec. 2 of chap. 8 O, the
session laws of 1878, relating TO im-
port duties upon wines.
Rep. IIaysclden moved the bill he
referred 10 the tariff committee, IS
it included cigars at the old duty,
while the intention of the committee
was to raise the duty on cigars.
Noble Cleghorn moved in amend
ment that the bill pass. The duty
on cigars was high enough--ten
dollars thousand-when American
cigars. were admitted free Of duty.
He believed liquor and tobacco were
legitimate objects for getting all the
revenue possible out of. At the
same time he did not think any
benefit would come from the pro-
posed change. Probably 10000
Manila cigars come in for every
thousand of the more expensive
kinds.
Rep. Hayselden withdrew his
motion, but would move in amend
ment that cigars be struck out.
Rep. Richardson moved that the
bill be referred to the tariff COM
mittee.
Rep. Brown did not see the neces-
sity of reference. The bill was only
amendatory, 30 that cigars could DE
struck out now, and the committee
could introduce Il change in the
cigar tariff later.
The motion to refer to committee
carried.
Third reading of an act to pro-
vide for the payment of salaries and
other expenses of the Government
till the passage of the Appropria-
ton Bill.
Rep. Dickey moved the bill be
referred 20 The Judiciary Committee.
They passed similar bill in great
haste 4 short time ago, (which after
, approval. was found to be useless.
More caution should be used in re-
gard to this bill. This bill pro-
vidcd for salaries at the former
figure, while they were reducing
salaries, which was not right.
Rep. Richardson moved the bill
pass. The last one was referred to
the Judiciary Committee, which
made null of it, and mi ht do the
same with this one.
The motion to refer was lost.
Rep. Dickey rose to move an
amendment.
Minister Dare raised The point OF
order that the question was being
put and no amendment was then in
. order.
!, The chair sustained the point.
}, Rep. Dickey appealed against the
decision of the chair.
Rep. Dole seconded the appeal
He hated to see an attempt made tc
(; freeze member out. Amendments
had always hitherto been accepted
in the middle of vote. in the prac.
tice of this Assembly
Minister Dare was surprised tic
hear the remarks of the hon. mem
Der for Lihue. If the practice he
commended for was regular, no fna
vote could ever be taken, because
the Opposition had only to interject
, an amendment after the affirmative
vote was taken to stavc the matter
/; off indefinitely.
Rep. Dickey commended the chail
l. was wrong in putting the question
without giving an opportunity fol
' debate.
Rep. Hayselden supported thu
!. ruling of the chair, because thu
IS President was obliged to complete
the putting of all the motions before
d him after he had begun.
Rep. Dole challenged the hon
: member for Honolulu to state TIN
rule in support of his contention.
The President stated that he hat
. no desire to enforce any new ruling
on the house even if 1t was sus
tanned, and would call on hon
y Noble Bishop for his opinion as
e. gentleman of more experience.
|. Noble Bishop said it seemed t.
Is him that the hon. member was jus
y little too late. He believed tn
President did state the question

that the bill pass-and one side o
: the question, the motion TO refer
was put and lost.
The decision of the chair wa
sustained.
Rep. Dole moved suspension @
