Bignose. (smiling very satisfied.) Mr. President, happily already we have a Stenographer to transcribe the minutes of our sessions. It would be convinient that he give to the public lessons of his art, in the which one can instruct our youth. But the quantitative designated in the Law of the Budget it is not enough; for that I require that be authorized the President of the Province to spend the amount that is necessary.

Mygodfather. I find the requirement of Mr. Bignose very fair and I will vote for him; this business, since the begin, it was always under the responsibility of the Presidents of the Province.

Monkey. (with vehemence.) That was when there was a President of our trust. Now everything is changed. I will never agree in authorizing the current President to spend as much he wants with the Stenographer. It is a measure that I don't approve. Sirs, I want the sessions of this Assembly to be published; but I don't want this to be under the responsibility of the President. That never; because then they would take 20 years and more, to verify the publication. Sirs, the current President doesn't deserve any trust (shouts of approval). While I don't come to the forehead of the public businesses a parliamentary President... (laughters) I must refuse him everything (shouts of approval). I don't give him either five reis (shouts of approval). I declare that I am in the opposition, and in the extreme opposition; it must go everything shallow; I must make to the Go-

vernment death war (shouts of approval). Proceeding so, I march with the opinion of Minas Gerais, because it still nominates me its Deputy. If I am in mistake, the Province will exclude me...

Impartial. (interruption) It cannot exclude because of the cabalas.

Monkey. But while I be a Deputy, I feel myself in the majority of the Province and I can fearlesly to assert that the Province speaks for my mouth, I am its interpreter, I am the organ of its feelings (shouts of approval). For consequence, I and the whole Province of Minas we want a Parliamentary President, that thinks and acts as Parliamentary and that is subscriber of the Parliamentarian. While it doesn't go very Parliamentary, it won't get trust measures. And if some law authorizes the current President to engage Stenographers, that law be revoked, or turned today into new matter, on which we also legislate again.

Bignose. Seen the reasons of the Mr. Monkey, I hug his feelings, and I despise my first amendment.

Impartial. But that versatility of the legislators of Minas Gerais, that Mr. Monkey just a while ago condemned...

Monkey. This is not versatility; it is progress.

Impartial. And how so fast you does want to revoke a law, without remembering of Poncio Pilatos's emblem, quod seripsi, seripsi?

Monkey. Well it reminds me. But
