lodged and taken care Of for his services, and il
vas only right that this country should support
him in his splendor. There is a dwelling, such
as no Sovereign had before-S50,0 900 had been
voted for the Iast two years, and $4,000 was
asked for the next two years TO complete 1t. Was
ever a Sovereign lodged like him, and Hawaiians
are proud of him. But we are not to worship.
Not II S45 600 voted for him, but there are
crown lands set apart for him which will make
about $40, 900 more. Former Sovereigns had not
that much. Kamehameba " had but $50, 900,
and on the motion of the Hon. c. IL. Judd it was
raised to S45 900. The Ministry of that day
looked with surprise when the motion was made
10 raise the salary from $50. 900 to S45, 900.
The crown lands at that time did not turn in
what they do now. We must remember that
though we have to keep him, there are others to
provide for. The Ministry provide nothing for
the 500 lepers that are moving in our midst. He
wished we could afford $1,000 600, but the treas
ury will not allow it. We must remember that
men were not made for Chiefs, but Chiefs for
men. The people must not be drawn on too ex-
travagantly. The circumstances Of His Majesty's
subjects Is not the same as in the reign of Ka-
mehameha ~. They are not So numerous, and
now il Is the foreigners we must have regard for
as well as the natives. If sic 900 were asked to
be added to the SS5, 900 for lepers, | would say
yes, and we should have the support of the entire
community, foreigners as we'll as natives. He
was informed that there are lepers going about at
large on the Island of Maui. and here we are
asked for SIG 900 for nothing. He considered
that in opposing this item, he was doing His
Majesty a kindness. If any expense should be
incurred by persons coming here, appropriations
will always be forthcoming next Legislature.
The Assembly will take care that His Majesty
will not lose by his generosity. lie therefore
supported the motion to indefinitely postpone.
The ayes and noes were called for, to indefinite
Iy postpone, which was carried.

the King might sell the country if he so
Mr.. Rhodes said the words used by the Minis
ter of Finance should not pass without a protest
rom at least one in this Assembly. He argued
His Majesty had but a life interest in the
country, and it was not his to sell. When the
King came to the throne he named his successor,
and that successor has a right to the throne. His
Majesty cannot sell his people. He quoted from
Article SO of the Constitution wherein it is stated
the national ensign shall not be changed.
What objection could there be to the Crown
commissioners telling this Assembly what was
the income from the Crown Lands. He wished
the income was ten times as much as it is.
