The order Of the day was
Consideration of the report Of the finance
committee. The house resolved itself into
committee Of the whole, with Mr.. Mott Smith
in the chair.
MIR. Gibson said: 81 will ask the indul.
gence Of the house to comment on the repor,
Of the finance committee. 1t has created .
widespread expectation, and brough, together
a large crowd, and the report certainly war
rants IL. Five representatives Of the people
have been specially appointed to investigate
the public action and disbursements Of His
Majesty's Ministers and the stewards Of the
country. These gentlemen have had full OPP.
! pottunity for the past seven weeks. II has al
! forded them the amplest opportunity for inves-
iigation. We have an intelligent, cultured
and patriotic sovereign, and history of which
, we may be proud as Hawaiian subjects. Every
thing in our circumstances should inspire US
to act honestly and be devoted to our country.
On looking over the report ! find it is care
fully prepared but am sorry 10 say on review
ing do not find /, conducted in fair spirit bu,
, find it a minute search for flaw rather thar
. for the honest truth. In order that | ma,
show the animus Of the report, bring forward
two statements which have been made in con
nection with member Of my family These
. are bill of Mr.. F. II. Hayseden's for sever
turkeys at So. so each, also bill FOR two pair
of corsets, and another for hustle. Thes,
are spoken Of in the report as transaction!
. wherein he derived profit. One OF the mem
bers of the committee is connected with Al
evening journal. at least his law partner is, ane
representation "F. II. Hayseden ha
turned an honest penny by selling the govern
men, seven turkeys at $3.50 each" Thi

is worse than the truth. These gentlemen o
: the finance committee have never asked eithc
me or my colleagues for any information. On,
would have thought If they required any in
formation they would certainly ask the princi
pals concerned. 1t was understood that it wa
> deemed advisable to provide about forty ka
: hills. The work was Difficult, and done al
, most gratuitously but certain articles Of cloth
ing were given the natives, as kind of com
: promise and compensation. Instead OF pay
ing out about So, 900 in cash, the natives, VIII,
skillmlly prepared the kahilis, were Statistic,
= with few articles OF clothing. Thus the ar
y ticles had nothing 10 do with the gentleman
referred to in connection with the turkeys
