TUESDAY AUGUST sru-74rH pay
a majority Of the select committee or
palace stables reported that new stables were
needed and advised tlst SIS, 900 be aplaopna
ted
Mr.. Smith asked that action be deferred
until the minority report was presented
Large sums had been voted away for what
were deemed to be necessary expenditures
To obtain the amount II would be necessary
TO borrow, and the speaker reminded the
members that the pay day for this borrowed
sum would surely come and i, beloved them
to have the welfare Of the country at heart
and not incur needless Indebtedness. While he
did not think there was member OF the as.
'emby who would oppose the amount nee.
cSSafy for the new stables under more favor
able circumstances, yet ths present coalition
OF the country, the low price obtained for its
staples, showed that the expenditure cannot
now be afforded. lie did not intend to imply
that the proposed appropriation was desired
by his majesty, he was doubtful il the pro
posal had cmanated from the king or that he
was aware OF its introduction, on the con
trary he did know that his majesty had coun.
Selled economy. The message was either an
honest manly expression OF desire to benefit
the country or else il was ''hoow mocbery
and snare" base fabrication. He mosed
that the report be laid on hetable.
Mr. Kiulukou moved the adoption Of the
report. Mr. Kaua endorsed Mr.. w. O..
Smiths r.marks. The main question was
then ordered, aud the report was laid on the
table by a vote Of ~ to 8.
Mr. Kaulukou attempted to have the latest
opium bill placed upon the g Order Of
the day." but was unsuccessful, his motion
to that effect being defeated by a large
majority"

When the item for the leper settlement Of
100000 was reached, Mr. Kauainquired lin
that sum was intended the improvements nee.
cssary for water supply. The newspapers
had stated that the people at the lepcr settle.
ments had been suffering ior a want Of water.
In some cases these poor people had paid a
dollar for drinl, Of water. Minister Gibson
said that the statement OF the newspapers
alluded 10 was ai veracious as the generality
Of the nespaper statements. While the supply
was not yet what ii should be, there was no
suffering for want Of water, such as has been
represented. The item was allowed.
| When the salary OF secretary OF the board o
health was reached, Mr.. Baker moved to
amend the item by adding the words "provi
ded such Secretary OF the Board shall be 8
native Hawaiian" Mr. Pilipo asked why SC
large salary Like service had previously beer
rendered ior $500 year. Mr.. Gibson said
the duties had largely increased. Mr.. Wilder
said So, 900 year was fair salary for good
business man. The item passed without
amendment.
Here G.. Blown moved the insertion Of af
item providing $4,000 for the benna perioc
for Hawaiian Consul at San Francisco in lieu
OF fees. Afessrs Hitchcock and w. o. Smith
supported the new item. Messrs. kalu!Sou ant
Bishor opposed the item. Hon. J. Mot
smith said this whole matter OF Compensation
Of coiisuls was within the control Of the minis
ter of foreign aifiirs and had better not be in
terfered with by the assembly. The item wa
rejected.
When the appropriation for government
physicians was reached, Mr.. w. O. Smith
said the object Of the appropriation was de-
leated by the physicians in some cases, wht
failed to render gratuitous medical treatment
as contemplated. He moved 10 amend, Sc
as to require gratuilous treatment to all naiiv,
Hawaiams. Mr.. Bishop said he believet
that all doctors came here 10 make their for
tunes. 1t seems as though the country wer,
in the hands Of the doctors. He did not be
lieve the people would ever be cured by them
He opposed the proposed amendment max
ing distinction OF rices, as an attempt 10 dis
grace the native Hawaians--ihe self.respcct O
the members Of the House should secure tn
defeat Of the amendment. A great dea
rested with the doctors, and it was for th
Board Of Health to exercise such vigilance
over them as to require proper action oi
their part. II the gra,uitous IN .dical treat,
nent was to be given solely 10 native Ha
waiians, what was to become Of the poor Por
tuguese The item was then increased L
Sys,ooo, and the Smith amendment pre-
varied.
