Mr. BELL: The .precedents :irc all

That is exactly tlieposliion I seek to occu v in this liouse.

and will not hold up the ‘proceedings of the House for some ivliiiniscul, childish and fancifiil purpose.

Mr. BELL here said he wished 'to

._explain, lu reply to the statement made b_v the Leader- oi’ tlis govern- ment that the list oi’ members of the standing committecs was submitted to him.--that the Clerk oi' the llc-use did bring the list to lilm and asked il’ he would append his name to it. Ile proposed to make some suggestions or alterations but the tllerli intimated that it was lmpractlcable, that no al- teration would be accepted, ami the list was taken away.,_ Under those circumstances he did nopthink the Leailei- of the government would. have much glory in saying that the list had been submitted to him (Mr. Bell.)

THE PREMIER: li. is noi, ii. ques-

tion oi "glory"; it is ii matter oi' tel- ling the truth. _

hh-. B_El.L further discussed the

subiieci, stating thiit it was the duty of ilic H1-'ise and of the Speaker' to see that the usages of Parliament were obeyed and ijespected by.-till. He iheii proposed, in regard to the

motion; toénake a mlnorit report.

THE l’R_ MlER:` The Ilyon Laurier

of the Opposition is going to make a proposal which I ani going to accept auil allow the uiotioii to go to the llouse.

Mr. BELL then moved, sc-cr-nded by

llir. Iliivlics. "Tlmt the majority re port oi' tho special commlilee' res pecting the composition of self-ct standing coimiiitlees on Public Ac- counts be not. now iilloptcd, but that such niaiorlty report be amended by incorporating (heroin the following: 'That the Public Accoiiiita Uominlilee he compr.-.iod oi' ilio following: Mr. Prowso.

Mr. Mc- Ewen and Mr. Mclnnls. '

Mr. BELL. in speaking on the mo-

tion. empliaslsed his previous re- marks with reference to the right which he claimed the Opposition had to suggest tho names of members .of committees. lie said he did not know whether the Leader oi' the govern- ment had ever read oi 'the combat between Roderick Dliu and _F‘ltz.l\mes` lt was one or the' best ’ word pictures of the poet Scott.
