returned to the House as an improper
bill
Mr.. Williams-'T am opposed to the
passage of this measure in the shape of
a resolui ion or joint resolution. That
the state treasurer will pay the money
on the joint resolution / have no doubt
II is a command 20 him. He does not
have to hunt up the law. There is no
doubt Of H.
Mr. McMullin- ''The object Of this
resolution is to meet a condition that
exists in the state Of Delaware The
idea is now to arrive at some agreeable
plan TO meet this emergency. Just at
this stage Of affairs think it would be
proper to refer it back TO the committee
that reports it but If it can't, why let
it go back to the House or to a new
committee AS regards the repeating of
a statute passed May ., 1891, / think
that an additional reason that it would
be better 10 refer il. / don't understand
how II conflicts with that law. / like
to vote npon thing on its merits am
opposed to doing anything as a condition
to get something else done.
Mr.. Records-"The Senator from New
Castle has expressed his willingness to
support this measure in proper shape If
referred back to the Committee on Re
vised Statutes that gentleman could
formulate a substitute for this measure
and we could refer it back to the
House"
Mr. Pilling-''The law says that the
expenses shall be paid as other election
expenses are pad. This resolution com
mands the state treasurer to pay this
money. The statute of two years ago is
now in force. This resolution changes
the course without repeating that law
No matter what committee takes it they
have those two conflicting questions to
come up, no matter how the state
treasurer would look on it. If we try to
avoid it we will have TO change the
law, or it will apply TO future elect ons.
In other words, if we pass the resolution
without repeating the law we will have
the same difficulty two years to come"
Mr.. Williams -"There will be no con-
stables two years to come"
Wipe the Law Out and Pay Our Debts.
Mr.. Pilling-"Then let us repeal the
law. / would say to my Democratic
friends that | have no doubt but that the
laws in regard to marshals will be re
pealed II they repeal that let us repeal
this If the Federal election law goes
through the Democratic administration
it will be proof that it has merits Let
us wipe the law out, pay our debts and
have done with the dirty thing.
Mr. Pyle-"I was hoping that the
S enator from New Castle would be
satisfied have it from eminent legal
authority that the resolution is legiti
mate and all right No one can go be-
hind IL aud hold together l think
Senator Williams could deliver lee
ture on that if he wanted to.
Mr.. Williams-"Oh no"
Speaker Senator Records
amendment is not seconded. "
Mr McMullin-'I second il.
Mr.. Williams-"The revised statutes
committee has shown itself unfavorable
to it don't think it is right to recon-
nit II"
Mr. Pyle-"Refer it to the Committee
on Cities and Towns"
Mr. Pilling-"That is right-refer it
TO the Committee on Cities aud Towns,
| move that the resolution be referred to
that committee
Mr. Records-"You had better let it
60 to the Committee on Revised Stat
utes
Mr. Pnling-"Nol nol offer an
amendment that It be referred to the
Committee on Cities and Towns"
Mr. Williams-"rhe Committee on Re.
vised Statutes gave 10 up. 10 is no W at
the mercy of the Senate. / have moth.
| ing more to do with IL. There is Ger.
tainly a majority Of that committee who
are unfavorable to that resolution as it
stands We are opposed to it and il
should not be thrust upon us Are YOU
going to force it upon us2 The friends
of the bill are very unwise to refer it
back TO us
Mr., Pnling.-"I move it be referr ed
to the committee on cities and towns.
Mr.. Watson IL second the motion"
The motion to refer was carried.
To Save the People at Large.
The committee consisted of Messrs.

so successfully that when the Senate

the resolution favorably, aud it was
adopted without debate, Senators vii.
liams and Watson being the only mem
bers who voted against IL. Senators Pill.
| ing and McMullin, the two Republican
members, voted for the resolution. They
would rather have the state pay it from
the taxes levied on railroad companies
and manufacturers than TO have the
county pay it with taxes upon the people
at large
Lord High Constable Dolan's little
army will now be paid in few days
The resolution will be enrolled today
and taken to the Office Of the secretary OF
state.
The reason that the former opponents
Of the resolution voted for it was, that
Senator Pyle promised TO intr duce a
bill providing for the repeal of the
/ Special Constables law, passed two years
ago. He also pronisedto introduce one pro.

for two or four deputy sheriffs TO each

the Democratic and Republican parties

of good intention, notice Of both bills
