The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-07-21

listers have organized a little legis-
lature all to themselves, with no
minority or opposition, but all votes
on one side. They turn the action
of this House to suit themselves.
He felt ashamed to be a member of
this House and be treated in this
manner by the Ministers, and
ashamed that the House has stood it
as long as they have. He would
support the report as it is a sensi-
BILE and straightforward statement.
The majority of this House has not
the confidence of the public, nor
the King; and their supporter, the
millionaire has stated that Mr.. Glib
son is no business man. There is
no hope of our doing anything with
this Ministry. If we do not CEN
sure them, our constituents will CEN
sure us. The report should be
adopted.
Mr.. Widemann said one point had
not yet been touched. We passed
the joint resolution for S50,000 for
japanese immigration. He could
not but think for a moment that the
Ministers counted Portuguese as
japanese. If so he would pity them.
The fact is that aoe have authorised
our servants the Ministers to pay
$4,000 for japanese immigration.
They draw S3805.46 of that and pay
it for Portuguese. If that is not
transgressing and breaking the law,
| he did not know what breaking the
| law means. The Ministers say,
yes, we have broken the law, but did
it for such and such reason.
Mr.. Bishop said the motion to lay
on table showed that time was
wanted. There is no use for further
time, no for any more figures. The
Minister had admitted all that is
necessary. 1t does not matter what
the amount was, the law does not
admit of any transfer from one OBJ
ject to another. If liberties are
taken with one appropriation, they
may be taken with any. There is
no need of delay in this matter.
Minister Gulick said it has been
stated twice that we have admitted
breaking the law. He would deny
that any admission was made that this
particular draft was drawn and paid.
He could not give proper presenta-
ton of the matter without figures.
Mr.. Aholo said if the Ministers
had done wrong. They had done it
to save the credit of the Govern
ment, and under the circumstances,
ought to be forgiven.
Mr.. Pilipo said the want of conf
dence had been gIeatly strengthened
by their action in this matter. He
would move the previous question.
Mr.. G. Brown said they had been
trying to mix Portuguese immigra-
ton with other things. Money APP
propriated for one purpose, they had
used for another, and that was a
direct violation of the law. They
have not been able to deny it, but
pleaded they thought it expedient to
do so. What is the use of making
laws if they are not to be enforced.
Ayes and noes were then taken on
the motion to lay the report on the
table as follows:
Ayes.-Gibson, Gulick, Kapena,
Neumann, Kuihelani, Kaae, Walker,
Kaulukou, Keau, Lilikalani, Baker,
Amara, Kaulia, Aholo, Kamakele,
Gardner, Nahinu, Kaunamano, Pa
lohau, Kupihea, Nakaleka. Total 21.
Noes.-Bishop, Parker, Wilder,
Isenberg, Dowsett, Mott Smith,
Widemann, Martin, F. Brown, Kalua,
G. Brown, Richardson, Kanealii, w.
O. Smith, Nawahi, Hitchcock, Kau-
villa, Kauhane, Pilipo, G. Brown,
Dole, Rowell. Total %.
The result was received with loud
demonstrations of approval.
Mr.. w. o. Smith moved re-
consideration of the vote.
Mr.. Kaulukou said there was nc
need of it. If we adjourn for All
hour, we will be able to outvote the
opposition.
