I committee was adopted.
The bill passed to engrossment, and vii
be read third time on Thursday.
Mr.. Brown presented the following reso
/ luton: Be it
Resolved That from and after the date
/ hereof this House sit every evening, Sat
urdays excepted, for the disposal Of such
/ business and bills as may be on the clerks
table and the order OF the day, and that
such evening sessions commence at : &c
o'clock
Mr.. Castle offered as an amendment that
the House meet at 80 each day, except
Saturday, take a recess from ID to o'clock,
and sit until p. IN. His experience had
taught him that night sessions would not
work
His Excellency Mr. Gibson said he
agreed with Mr.. Castle. 1t was
rarely that a quorum was obtained
before 1920 O'Clock each morn
ing. If the House had met promptly at 10
O'Clock and sat until u, and then met
at 30 sharp, business would have been ex-
pedited. He Endorsed the amendment
offered by Mr.. Castle. The Ministers were
anxious to be on hand 10 time. He had
been present every day during the session.
Mr.. Keau moved the resolution be
adopted, with the amendment that the
evening session commence at 7:3O O'Clock
and close at 10 O'Clock.
Mr. Kaunamano said he was not in
favor of the resolution, but of Mr.. Castles
amendment. One of the first instructions
to Hawailans by Mr.. Bingham was that
the night was made for rest. This Assem-
bly, was reversing that order. In 1864
they used to have night sessions, but
three or four members did the talking
while the rest did the sleeping. The Presi-
dent, the late Governor Kanoa, used to
fall asleep in his chair. There are young
men in this Assembly who are able to
work nights, but old men, like himself,
were getting feeble, and did not want to
work nights. The members coming here
at nights might get wet and catch cold,
and who was going to pay the doctors
bills? The big book says: "Watchman,
what of the night?' The Waterman an
swers: The night is made for the devil
and his imps." The night was the time
when deeds of darkness were committed,
and they did not want anything done in
this House to be of that character. Ii the
House met at night there would be no end
to the domestic troubles that would follow.
Members wives would not believe that
their husbands were at the Assembly;
they would suspect them of going to other
and worse places. Every member should
come to the House promptly at time.
Hon. Mr.. Bush moved the previous
question. Agreed to.
Mr.. Brown said he brought the resolu- !
ton in, thinking it would help to bring the |
session to a close by the end of the month. |
There was great deal of work to be done |
on the Secretary's table. He |
hoped the resolution would pass.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Castle |
passed, and the resolution passed as
amended.
