able reason Mr.. Hyde had fallen down and now
refused to support the charter.

with his constituency since last week and had
changed his mind. He had concluded that it
was rich mans charter. One thouand seven

MATHEWS WAS LOADED.
Mr.. Mathews rose to point of order. He
threw rhetorical and metaphorical bombshelI
, into the camp of the divisionists by declaring
that the bill had no status at this time. He
| quoted parliamentary rules and the Assembly
journal of the oath inst, showing that the bill
was ordered read second time but that the
House adjourned without such reading. He
also quoted the standing rules and Cushing's
Manual and maintained that the Speaker
should rule that the bill had gone into unfin-
ished business
Speaker Howe decided that the bill was in
order.
Mr.. Mathews appealed from the decision of
the Chair
Mr.. Coombs ventured the opinion that Mr.
Mathews was little off, with his techniceli-
Mr.. Dibble thought the Speaker was clearly
right. The bill had been read the first time
AT that stage it might have been killed by strik-
ing out the enacting clause. But it was put npon
second reading. The previous question u was
then exhausted. This is the authority of Cush-
ing. The next stage in the progress Of the bill
was to amend it on second reading.
Mr.. Mathews said Mr.. Dibbe had stated his
conception exactly. But at the best, the bill
should go to the foot of the file After the previ
Gus question is put, it is impossible to debate or
postpone it.
sHANAHAN's SARCASM

curing the bill to be indorsed by twothirds

the gentleman from Sh ssta, and the gentleman
from ba, and the gentlemen from San Fran
cisco and all parts of the State, except Colusa
county, had been having their say Now he
thought the people of Colusa county ought 10
have voice in the matter, and insisted upon
the amendment being duly considered and
moved its adoption.
MIR. Shanahan said these motions were
nothing but flibustering and parliamentary
trickery.
Mr. Brierly said 1t was not true He had
offered t o vote for the bill if they would adopt
the amendment.
Mr. ostrom deprecated the defeat of any
measure by trickery. He did not believe the
House would countepance any underhanded

without vote of the people
Mr.. Briefly recollected that Mr. Shanahan
