j. L. Kawainui was elected to the
chair, and n. b. w. Kawainui was

plausc.) } Mr.. Pilipo, having ascend
ed the rostrum, returned his thanks
for the honor that had been confer
red OH him, by giving him the privi-
lege TO address that meeting. We
were under n monarchal govern
ment and q constitution. The speak
or here described the form of gov
crnmcnt and showed that this meet
ing was held in conform 'ty with
section 4 of the Constitution.
Friends and lovers of your country,
what do you come here for? What
do you expect to do? What do you
think of the NIinisters2 Arc you GO
iilg to refrain from action { the
Government falls?
Now we can take the helm in our
own hands from these people who
are running it dangerously. All the
responsibility rests with them. 1t
was the Ministers alone who caused
the enormous appropriations to be
voted by the Legislature. This Min
istry doubled the estimates of the
late Ministry. Then the matter of
the Wailuku land grant was advert
ed TO and shown to be Ministerial
measure al through. 1t wa9 stated
to be a land much loved by the peo-
pie. 1t was the place of scpulture
of the ancient chiefs. And yet not
one dollar of consideration was re-
ceivcd by the Crown. The matter
of taking away from the dignity of
the Supreme Court was then touch
ed on, and the loan bill declared un-
necessary. These were not the only
causes of complaint. lie therefore
moved u resolution which asked the
King to dismiss the Ministry. He
had scarcely finished, and the Sccrc-
tary was reading the draft of the
resolution when His EX. Simon Kaai
got up and said several things, of
which we could not get translation.
The Chairman said that there was
nothing before the meeting yet, and
His Ex. sat down after much per-
suasion, saying in English that sit
wasn't public meeting"
Mr.. David Malo then got up and
made long and vigorous speech, in
which he stated that His EX. had no
right to interfere, rs this was n citi-
zcns' meeting. lie mentioned sew
eraG other things, and from what we
got translated it might be surmiscd
thaG he didn't know whether he
spoESe for or against the Ministry
ThGchairman had to tell him once
that he was not speaking Gn the sub
jccf before the meeting. After this
th6Ee was considerable disturbance,
n0/less than four speakers being Oh
the floor at one time, trying tc
catch the chairman's eye. Mr.. JOIN
Sheldon spoke in vehement ant
eloquent style in favor of the pre-
sent Ministry, but we were unabl,
to obtain translation of his speech
lie was warmly applauded by hi
OWE section. Fina y His EX. Kaa
marched up to the front and in /
humorous speech compared himsel
and the Ministers to II pig waiting
for the oven to be heated to cool
him. OF course, he woulC
kick, although he hadn'
intended to when he came. At TIN
close of his speech he asked al
those who thought the Ministry
Lad one to signify in the usua
manner. lie then said that h
would move to indefinitely postpon
the matter and walking down tn
aisle his followers rushing after him
he cot his hat and marched out
