Rep. Nawahi moved the resolu-
ton be indefinitely postponed. He
did not believe in working at night.
Night was made for the imps of
darkness. The complaints about
the length of the session came
from the wealthy members who
could afford to give their time
better than himself and Others
who were not well fixed. The
introducer of the resolution had done
nothing to expedite the work of the
session unless it was by keeping
quiet. How many speeches has he
made this session?
| Noble Pua seconded the motion
for indefinite postponement. The
town was infested with robbers, and
members might meet some of those
characters, on the way home from
night sessions, or find their homes
plundered on their return. Those
sugar planters should have thought
of the time they would have 10
spend in the House before seeking
election.
Noble Baldwin had opposed the
resolution first and second
time. Now, however, the commit-
tee work being mainly through, the
House could afford to hold night
sessions. This was done the latter
part of the previous session. Mem.
bers who had nothing else to do at
night ought 10 he willing to take
this means of facilitating business.
Noble Widemauu considered that
the principal committee work was
yet to b. done. The constitutional
question aud the election bid, were
TO he dealt with Ivy the committees,
and there was no other question of
such importance as these unless il
was the opium question. He did
not think much good would come OF
night SESSIONS, and would vote for
indefinite postponement.
The resolution was indefinite post
poned,
Noble BALDWIN moved suspension
OF the rules TO present minority
