suOula nave LOT lunch, ana Where they should have
it. He was astonished to see how recklessly the
Assembly spent the money appropriated for the Le-
gislative Expenses, and that in things they had
no right to, while at the same time they were con-
tnually crying out about the reduction of expenses
and the pikids Of their constituents. AS for him
self, he had considerable doubt in his mind as TO
whether the public would get value received for the
moneys expended for conducting this session of the
Legislature. He hoped the Resolution would be
rejected, and that it would be the last of these
lunch discussions he was heartily ashamed of
them.
Resolution ruled out of order.
The Assembly then proceeded TO the Order of the
Day which was the Board of Health Bill, on its
second reading. Bill considered in Committee of
the Whole, Mr. Nui in the Chair
Section read.
Mr.. Hitchcock moved to reject the Section.
Mr.. Martin supported the motion, as he was not
in favor of allowing Hawaiian doctors TO practice
in cases of leprosys that if any Hawaiian doctor
could cure the leprosy and give satisfactory proof
of it 20 the Board of Health, he would not have the
slightest trouble to obtain license and make his
fortune.
Mr.. Lonoaea was in favor of the Section, as he
knew Hawaiian doctor in Wailuku who could cure
leprosy, and going to have him down here for
presentation to the Minister of the Interior
Mr.. a. F. Judd spoke against the Section and
urged its rejection, it could do no good, but
great deal of harm. In regard to the remarks made
by the member from Wailnku, he said that he would
pay $500 to any doctor who could cure the leprosy
aud that the offer stood open for month.
Mr. Kaai spoke against the Section, as he thought
it very imperfect, and that if passed it would work
much evil.
Mir Mikalemi was very much in favor of the Sec
tion, as there many talented Hawaiian doctors
who by the present law were not afforded a chance
to display their skill.
His Ex. the Minister of the Interior said that con-
siderable discussion bad taken place on the subject
and most of the remarks were far from the qucs-
tion at issue; that Section was before the House.
but there had been great deal said of leprusy and
smallpox, and the grievances of individual mem
bers these questions could be discussed when the
items for the Leper Establishment aud the Board of
Health were under consideration. But the question
now was, Shall Section be adopted? and he hoped
not as tue Section appeared 10 him worse than
nonsense, and he called for an explanation Of
the Section from the introducer of the Bill,
as he bad read it over twice and could make

ed to take the lepers out Of the charge OF the
Board of Health, and have their own physicians,
be they foreigners natives. In reply this, he
stated that he would be happy to supply any one,
Hawaiian, Chinaman, or any one else, with leper
patients at Molokai, If they think they have cure
for the leprosy, and ho Will be the first TO approve
of handsome reward for their cure and so
woud other countries besides this. But he did not

II. Il. W. c. Lunalilo spoke against the Section
and hoped it wOuld be stricken out the Hawaians
were now passing away rapidly, and if this Section
passed it would take long to wipe them from the
face of the earth.
Hon. Mr.. Bishop endorsed the remarks made by
the Minister OF the Interior, and spoke of the un
pleasant duties devOlvng upon officers of the Govern
ment under this Lcprosy law yet it had to be DONE
as such a thing allowing lepers to run at large |
could not be listened to. The speaker alluded to La
haina, where, he stated epers could be seen almost
any day and some stringent ought to be taken
at to secure them and place them in the Leper
Hospital.
Mr.. Carter said If I thought that the passage of
this Section would alleviate the suerings of single
eper would favor its passage; but do not see how
there be for doubt as to tle incurability
1f this disease. cannot believe that the supporters
'fthis Section would sanction the remaining liberty
f lepers to be praetieed upon by these miracle work
'rs who profess to eprosy. The Minister of the
Interior has already said that he would permit any of
hese doctors to visit and remain at the leper estab
ishmen and practice upon patients who desired their

whom this disease had fastened. Now we may not

or their and support, and hold him strict
ountability for its expenditure. When the item in
he Appropriation Bill for the support of epers comes
p viii join you heartily in passing sufficient sum.
On the Committee rising the Chairman reported no
rogress, and ashed leave to sit again on the Goth
Instant. Report accepted and leave granted.
Bill to reduce certain costs in the supIeme Probate
nd Circuit Courts
His Ex. the Attorney General thought some of the
osts in the Courts rather high, and was in favor of
boshing them, but did not feel like going so far as
he Bill called for, and moved that the Bill be referred
o a Special Committee, and that the subject after
C made the special order on the day on which it is
eported upon.
Mr.. A. F. Judd spoke of the high costs of Court
Ow existing, and was favor of having the Bill re-
erred to n Committee.
Motion to refer to Select Committee carried, and
he Hon. President appointed the following gentle
len: A. T. Judd, His Ex. S. II. Phillips, Messrs.
.holo, Rice and Martin.
On motion of His Ex. c. c. Harris the Vice Pres-
ent added to the Committee.
Act to repeal the Act relating to claims against the
states of deceased persons on its second reading
Mr.. A. F. Judd moved that the Bill pass to en-
rossment and spoke at length upon it and the use
ssness Of the law it was intended to repeal as by its
rovsions charges come very heavy upon small
stes.
His Ex the Attorney General spoke against the re-
arks made by Mr. Judd, and was in favor of leaving
present law the Statutes, and thought the Act
'st referred to the Committee would reduce the
cry materially.
Pending discussion Assembly adjourned
