On Wednesday the Boari Of Health received
the attention Of the Assembly, the debate
beng upon resolution Of eensure introduced
by the Hon. Mr. Kalaukoa. IL seems that on
Monday the Assembly had taken some action
in relation to a number of lepers collected at
the receiving house on King Street, looking to
their treatment by native kahunas; that while
the action was being taken, the lepers were
30 VI IS~AA0 u u S~AAlNA4CA 1Al4 nuLIlG1 On
their way to Molokai. The Hon Mr. Kalaukoa
thought that this action Of the Board Indicated
4 contempt for he Assembly. ami it Is barely
possible that he was right. We can under
stand that the Bard must be thoroughly tired
Of resolutions Of want Of confidence and of
censure, for they have been frequently intro
dueed and as frequently the attempt to carry
them has proved abortive One can hardly
understand how the Board can entertain any
very profound feeling Of respect for such
body.
The income tax bill came up on its second
reading and was heartily endorsed by the
Hon. Mr.. Rhodes, the burden of whose argu-
ment seemed TO be: That IT was popular
tax in Great Britain Il did not appear TO
strike the speaker that the moral and social
condition Of the people of this Archipelago
might be SO different from that of the people
Of Great Britain as to warrant doubt against
the working Of such tax here. Several
speakers, among them the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, opposed the bill vigorously; but the
feeling among the native members that it
would only work against foreigners, sugar
plantations in particular, did not warrant any
attempt to indefinitely postpone the bill, SO it
vas referred TO a select Committee
The bill to provide inter-island steam CON-
municati0n was up on iEs third reading. An
amendment proposed BY the Wilder wing of
the Assembly, on the second reading of the
bill, TO refer any contract to the King and
Privy Council for approval, was stricken out.
The Hon. Mr.. Aholo said That lie supposed
the amendment to refer the matter to the Privy
Council was introduced because q native held
the position Of Minister of the Interior. The
Hol Mr. Kaai said: That he did not care to
see the bill go into the hands of its enemies;
that he had seen members Of the Privy Council
in the lobby working against the bill; that the
principal opposition in the Assembly was by
members Of the Privy Council, and that refer
ence in this case meant desire to defeat the
wishes Of large majority of the Assembly.
On Thursday the Hon Mr.. KaIaukoa intro
dueed resolution to the effect that the Min
ister Of Foreign Relations should notify the
Of England and Russia that
this kingdom proposed to maintain a strict
neutrality IN regard TO the differences that ex-
listed between those two great nations. The |
honorable member was informed that such |
action would be premature This resolution
has produced some merrimeut, probably based /
upon an Insignificant regard for the position
this kingdom holds in the family Of nations
oil to repeal the '.Aet to Mitigate" &c,
passed the Assembly by very strong majority
vote. 4 bill to amend the law Of - Masters
and Servants so that master who strikes a
servant shall be liable to Imprisonment upon
striking out the penalty of a fine,
passed By close vote We had been led to
believe that the mal-treatment Of agricultural
aborers was thing of the past.
On Friday resolution was introduced in
