opium, to amend Chapter so Penal

Mr.. w. O. Smith gave notice of
bill to amend Chapter 20 laws of
1882 relating to national loan.
Mr.. G.. Brown read first time bill /
relating to jurors. Read a second
time by its title and passed to en-
grossment. The hon. member also
gave notice of bill to amend Rule
AZ of the House relating to the
Ministers voting On suspension OF
the rules the bill was read first
| time.
The House took recess at II.
On re-assembling after recess,
Mr.. Dole in support of the resolu-
ton said: 1t is matter of humii-
alton, the necessity of proposing
such resolution. 1t ought to be
taken for granted that no circum-
stances would make such a resolu-
ton necessary as rule. The ques-
ton comes up in respect to the late
resolution, want of confidence in
the Ministry. The acts of tho Min
listers were on trial. There were 43
members without the Ministers, and
it was whether these 43 had conf
dence in the management of the
Mi nj try. No one ever
doubted the Ministers had not
confidence in t h IN c | C s.
The vote stood equal with the Pre-
sident to decide, and we should
have ascertained whether the policy
of the Minister was right or not.
Under the technical ruling of the
President it was held over to the
discretion of the Ministers, and am
sorry to say they took the advan-
tage. / would not have done so
under the circumstances. 1t is not
right for man on trial to pass his
own opinion. We should have found
out what was the feeling of the
House | do not know how Min
listers have acted in previous sessions.
am sorry this matter has been
brought up, no Ministry should have
done So 1t is like operating so
many plugs just to keep themselves
in office. 1t is better for the future
that we lay the matter down in black
and white. 1t affects the future
management of this House and it is
necessity. The present Ministry,
acting free from pressure, will say
exactly what | have said. The prin-
ciple commends itself to their own
common sense.
Mr.. Kaulukou then spoke at con-
, siderable length in Hawaiian, and
moved the resolution be indefinitely
postponed. At one point the hon
orable member was called to order
by the President for being too per
sonal.
Mr.. Keau moved the previous
question. Carried.
, Mr.. G. Brown said the reason ht
introduced the resolution, was tt
save repetition in the Legislature
of scene which in itself was rathel
disgusting. That was when four o
His Majesties Ministers decided by
, their own vote on their own capa
u bilities of administering in thi
Kingdom. In previous Legislature
v this had arisen, and it was bette
II that the matter should be settled
y once for all
!" Ayes and noes were called on in
