The patent office officials greatly desire that
portion of the two and a half millions of money
to their credit in the treasury to render the ser
vice more efficient. The patent office is one of
the few branches of the government which is
self-sustaining, yet the law requires that all the
money earned shall be covered into the treas
ury, and not dollar to be expended in the
patent office except through IN appropriation.

TUESDAY, JUNE 1O.-Continued
Minister Neumann said, that after
week recess he had hoped better
feeling would have existed. The
King has right to use the income of
the crown lands, and is not obliged
to give any account. The Assembly
has no right to ask any questions.
He would not accuse Mr.. Dole of
insincerity as he believed he sought
the investigation he has brought
before the House. If there is royal
prerogative it is unjust and improper
to ask the Supreme Court to take
away that prerogative. There
learning and Judgment enough in
this Assembly instead of involving
the Supreme Court in question like
this, and he hoped the resolution
would not pass.
Mr.. Dole said, he had heard diff
ferent opinions, they may be right
and he might be wrong. The ques-
ton does not touch the prerogative.
What does the Attorney General
know about monarchy, he was
brought up in republic, and what
he has learnt has only been in the
past few weeks. His Majesty is one
of the recipients of this Assembly,
his salary was raised last session, it
may be this, so if this resolution is
passed it will be a guide for me, rs /
do not like to work in the dark. /
don't think His Majesty will thank
the Attorney General to try and
shield him. What does he care
If any one in the Kingdom can

in payment of debts to all amounts.
For making Hawaiian silver coins
and United States silver coins legal
tender to the amount of Ten dollars.
For making all other gold and silver
coins receivable at the Treasury at
their bullion instead of their nominal
value. The Act gives the Minister
of Finance, in his discretion, the
authority, whenever necessity for
such action shall arise--to exchange
the silver coins, which may be in the
Treasury--for gold coins. The Act
requires the Minister of Finance to
exchange Hawaiian silver coins, for
the uncurrcnt silver coins, now in the
hands of the people. at the nominal
value of each respectively ly-and to
arrange that such uncurrent coins,
shall be replaced in the Treasury
by gold coins. That the expense of
this transaction shall be borne by the
Treasury and that the Act of 1880
relating to coinage and the Act of
1876 relating to Currency be re-
pealed.
The effect of the Bill submitted
bv our Commitee-it is believed,
will give to the Kingdom standard
or measure of values, which will be
accurate, steady and convenient, and
at the same time in accord, with
the standard in use, by those nations,
with whom we have the greater part
of our commercial dealings. That il
will purify our money circulation
from the deprecated foreign silver
coins, which are now in use, ant
which hither to have been forced upor

A DISGRACEFUL VOTE.

The action of the majority OF the
members of the Legislature present
on Tuesday last, in voting for car
riages to convey themselves to the
races was disgraceful.
The resolution was introduced by
j. X. Kaunamano, the member from
Hamakua, and was acted upon late
in the afternoon when many mem-
bers were absent.
1t was an improper and foolish
waste; and indicated selfish and
unprincipled spirit on the part of
those who voted for it.
The conveyances provided by the
public carriers were ample, and the
rates of charges reasonable, and
there was not the slightest excuse
for procuring special carriages for
the members.
When the vote was taken there
were but thirty members present,
and all but the President voted.
When it was found that there
would be a serious attempt to carry
the resolution several independent
members sprang to their feet and
moved that the Ayes and Noes bc
called, which would compel record
ing the name of each voter Mr..
w. Nj. Gibson and certain of his
so-called national party and two or
three others who favored the car
riage riding, but who were ashamed
of having their names published,
voted against having the Ayes and
Noes taken, but they seemed tc
have forgotten that only a one-fftl
vote was necessary; so the point was
gained.
The vote which WAS recorded was
OH motion to indefinitely postpone
the resolution, and was as follows
Ayes. Bishop, Isenbcrg, Kaulia,
c. Brown Richardson, Kancalii, w.
@. Smith, Kamakcle, Hitchcock,
Kauwila, Kauhane, Dole. Up.
Noes. Gibson, Kapcna, Dominis,

passed

himself on the usual plea of its having
been "a test question"

MINORITY REPORT OF THE CURRENCY
COMMITTEE,

In tue matter of an Act to regulate
the currency referred to the Special
Committee on currency.
TO the Honorable Godfrey Rhodes,
President OF the Legislative Assem-
bly,.
In declining TO sign the majority
report in the matter Of the said act
| was influenced not by any feeling of
opposition to the objects of the said
report and the new bill there in re-
commended, but only by my fears
lest the provisions of the new bill are
inadequate for carrying out its oh
iects, that is, for the establishment
of Il gold and silver circulation as
enacted by its first and second sec
tions.
The most difficult feature in legis.
lating for change in our currency
is the question as to the manner of
replacing the surplus silver, which
will not be required under the new
law, with gold.
The act recommended by the ma
ioritN of the committee provides for
the transfer Of foreign silver coins
into United States gold, which is q
sound provision as far is it goes, but
it may be questioned whether the
replacing of this silver with gold at
the slow rate of only one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars a month
will not hamper the working of the
act at its inception.
The further provision giving to the
Minister Of Finance the discretion of
replacing any silver coin in the
Treasury with United States gold
coin does not appear to he sufficient
for the certain attainment of its OBJ
iect, which is to keep down the
surplus of silver coin from time to
time as necessity shall arise as a
Minister of Finance not in sympathy
with the law might in his discretion
| absolutely prevent this section from
taking effect for a time long enough
to hamper and even destroy the
working Of the act, or he may, if an
extreme gold currency man, export
all the silver in the Treasury and
thereby cause great public incon-
venience. There should he a manda-
tory clause providing for the re-
| placement OF surplus silver with GOLD
which would put it out Of the power
| of any Minister to hinder the action
of the law How this section should
be drawn is IA difficult question; but
it seems to me to be necessary tC
the effectiveness of the law. that The
surplus silver or certificates whatever
| its amount, not needed for the bust
ness of the country within the limit
at which silver may be used, should
be redeemablc at the Treasurer il
gold; this cannot be done under the
provisions of the new bill recon.
mended by the majority of the com.
mittee.
Although | prefer that the limit
of silver payments should be tixet
at five dollars, l would not make tht
provision of the new bill fixing it Al
ten dollars ground of opposition
/ offer herewith a new draft of al
act TO regulate the currency which
embodies the principles which seen
to me to be essential and which con
tains | think some improvements t,

rency Committee and also to the ney
bill recommended by a majority o
that committee. S. B. DOLE.
