n unanimous vote.

which the Senate had made in the resolution by
changing the date from April IL TO April 80.
General Hustled said that the Assembly had no
right 10 question the action Of the Senate. Tne AS
sembly had right to decide when 1t ought TO get
through work. and the Senate had the same right lie

voted for the resolution setting the date then but at

wasted the time of the session in trying 70 please
the liquor men by passing whiskey blu Ihey
by agreeing TO pass the Liquor bill on April 10,
inst one dav before they wanted to adjourn.
. The resolution then adopted, with the Senate
amendment fixing the date as April 30.
