pie who had asked for this bill. lie
vas not willing that the House should
place itself in the embarrassing posi-
ton of not going on record on this im-
portant question.
1t was not an effort, he said. to adj
vance the measure for the purpose of
embarrassing any one. It ought. on
the contrary. to be a matter OF pride.
Mr.. Oliver said thai he would vote
against the bill II 1t came up. and he
had no hesitation as to putting himself
on record. But there are, he said, only
four days left or the session. The
Senate had already rejected a similar
bill, and he did not think it just to
the people to give the time of the
House to a futile attempt when there
were bills OF Importance which are
pending.

pass by the special order resulted in
a vote Of 50 ayes and As noes. A roll
