Rep. Castle moved the bill pass
to engrossment. Carried, and third

Rep. Brown moved the following
resolution: Be it resolved that from
and after the date hereof this house
sit every evening, Saturdays ex-
cepted, for the disposal of such busi-
ness and bills as may be on the
clerks table and the order of the
day, and that such evening sessions
commence at 1880 o'clock.
Rep. Castle moved an amendment
that the house meet at $3.50 A. NJ,
each day-take recess of one hour
at II NJ, and sit till 5 p. NJ, each
day except Saturday.
He had had some experience with
trying to hold night sessions, when
the house would often meet, but
find no quorum present.
Minister Gibson agreed with the
remarks of the honorable member
for Waikiki. 1t would save time
and expedite business if members
attended more punctually on present
hours of meeting. The house sell
dom has a quorum until nearly ten
in the morning and two in the after
noon.
Rep. Keau moved the adoption of
the resolution with an amendment
that the evening session commence
at 1880 and continue till 10 O'Clock.
Rep. Kaunamano supported the
amendment of the honorable men,
ber for Wailuku. In the first book
printed by Mr.. Bingham, for the
Hawaiian, they were instructed that
the night was made for rest. The
house had sat nights in 1864, at
these sessions, three or four mem
bers did the talking and the rest did
the sleeping. The President would
sit up in his arm chair on the
rostrum and go to sleep. Some
times members came in too full, and
between these drunken members
and the sleeping members, there
used to be great deal of noise
and confusion. There are young
men here who are able to work
nights, but old men like himself
were getting feeble and do not want
to work nights. The big Book says
"Watchman, what of the nlght?"
The watchman answers, "The night
is made for the devil and his imps." +"
The night is the time where deeds
of darkness are committed, and we
do not want anything done in this
house to be of that character. Be
sides all this, if the house meets
nights, there will be no end to the
domestic disturbances that must
follow. Members wives at home
won't believe that there husbands
are at the Assembly; they will sus-
pect them of going to other and
worse places of resort.
Rep. Brown said if he consulted
his own convenience, he would not
have offered the resolution. He
hoped that by night sessions the
business of the house might be got
through by the end of the month,
but at the present rate of progress,
it did not seem as if there was any
chance of finishing up before six
weeks. He would say for himself and
other members of the bar that they
had neglected their own nriyato
