Mr. Speaker. sometimes on an emigrant ship. when the passengers have been treated very badly during the voyage. the master of the ship tries to make the last day or so :especially pleasant. so. if possible. to remove the memory of the days that are past. Proceeding along that line. the maJority is evidently trying to make us forget some ofthe rules they have passed in the last nine months by bringing In a decent rule. Nobody can fairly criticize this rule. except in one particular. and that is the shortness of the time for general debate. This rule does not cut off our right of amendment. as was done in the naval bill. the shipping bill. and other bills.
