Regarding house bill 96, Mr.. Lutz said he
didn'tsbelieve in Indefinite pOstpOnement.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. FlSKE moved that all substitutes be
printed, and was informed by the chief
clerk that all substitutes are printed in the
journal.
MI. OLIVER moved that the senate be
asked to return house bill SO, an act for
the protection of bank depositors, which
had been sent to the senate instead of sub
stitute. Adopted.
Mr.. FAY moved that Joseph Monrean,
janifOr Of the hONSQ COmmitfpp rnnmc hp
given So per day extra, making a total of
S. per day, as he was on duty from 6 a. m.
to II p. m. Adopted.
Mir. MCCULLOCH moved to reconsider
house bill SO, requiring sheritfs instead of
agents to make all chattel mortgage sales.
He had heard that it would be more ex.
pensive to farmers than the present law,
and that the SheriffS of certain counties
could afford to pay $4,000 apiece for such a
law.
Mr.. BROOKE: "Unless the gentleman
has proof that sheriffs have made such
offers, he should not make such intimations
on the floor of the house."
Mr.. OLIVER claimed that the gentle
man from Griggs (McCulloch) was not in
order, because the defeat of Mr.. Tufts res
olution to reconsider and lay such motion
on the table, offered the previous day, had
killed both of the motions, and that no
new motion to reconsider could be enter
tained except by unanimous consent. The
gentleman from Ransom read from "Cush-
ing's Manual" and the rules of the national
house of representatives to strengthen his
| position.
Mr.. KEARNEY, in a kind and fatherly
way, informed the young man from Ran
som that he should have been a lawyer in
stead of a farmer.
The speaker ruled the motion to recon-
slider in order.
Mr.. LUTZ was in favor of sustaining
tho chair and pa1loA tho atfoptior pf Nv
Oliver to rule "a of the house.
MI. WHITE also added to Mr.. divers
load OF woe by stating that the motion to
reconsider and lay on the table should
have been put separately on the previous
day, and that was the practice in the
national house of representatives.
MI. STROM said MI. White was wrong;
there was no such pratice in the national
house.
The chair was sustained, and the motion
to reconsider carried.

THIRD READING OF HOUSE BILLS.
No. 45. Mr.. Douglas measure for pro-
viding platforms at railroad stations,
was the pioneer in the afternoons debate.
Mr.. BEARDSLEY said he had seen the
attorney general, and had on his sugges-
ton prepared an amendment prescribing

bill passed.

HOuse bill Ill. regarding the manner of
issuing county warrants. Passed.
House bill SO, the much-discussed ques-
ton as to whether the present law should
be amended so all chattel-mortgage sales
must be made by sheriffs, came up.
MI. DAILY spoke in opposition. The
present law was all right. He saw no ne
cessity for having sheriffs make all the
sales. He believed it would be cheaper
for ~mortgagors to have the sales made by
agents.
on motion of Mr.. Williams, the bill was
indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. DAILY moved that the vote be re-
considered and that the motion to recon-
slider be laid upon the table.

of order when Mr.. Daily withdrew his mo-
ton.
