Minister Neumann, in reply to Mr..
Dole, asked for few days more
indulgence for his report upon leases
of Government lands, as he had
been engaged in Court up to that
moment. Request granted.
The Act to facilitate the acquir-
ing and settlement of homesteads
was read third time and passed.
Also, the Act to provide for the
payment of salaries and carrying on
of certain Government works until
the 31st of August, 1884.
The House went into Committee
of the whole to consider an Act to
regulate the sale of spirituous liquors,
Mr.. kanoa in the chair.
Mr.. Hitchcock spoke in favor Of
the clause in the first section. that
Sunday shall mean the time between
nine O'Clock on Saturday night till
six O'Clock on Monday morning.
Mr.. Kaulukou thought the old law
making Sunday closing begin at II
O'Clock on Saturday evening was
good enough. If the honorable
member for Ililo wished to 90 to bed
at nine O'Clock let him do so, but
let him not try to compel the public
to follow his example. He saw no
necessity for the change, and moved
the indefinite postponement of the
first section.
Mr.. Dole said this bill had been
considered by many-some of whom
were not temperance men, but who
believed in licensing the sale of
liquor as necessary evil, but who
wished to restrict it as much as
possible. Saturday was the day upon
which many men were paid off.
These who drink too much are eX-
posed that evening to the danger Of
wasting their money. Upon their
first visit to saloon they know
what they are doing and get their
right change back. But as the adj
vance in intoXication they pull out Il
handful of money and are oblivious
of what they get in return. tThieves
friction is simply intended in the
interests of good order-that people
may be allowed to 90 home to their
families in decent state and permit
others to do likewise. He knew that
the honorable member for Honolulu
was an advote of free liquor, but if
he sat down and thought of this
matter, moment he would change
his mind. If 'he could follow the
fortunes of good many who go to
the saloons, enter their families and
see how their Saturdays are passed,
he would look at the matter differ
emily. He believed that all who
examined this matter on its merits
would feel that the change proposed
is in the interests Of good order.
Speeches followed from Messrs.
Kaulukou, Hitchcock, Keau, Naka-
leka, Palohau, Dole and Nawahi,
when the question was put and the
first section of the bill was passed.
On the House resuming, the Act
to provide for certain Government
expenses was, on motion of Mr.. Ka-
lua, reconsidered in order to have
some errors corrected.
The Homestead Act was, on mo-
ton Of the same member, subjected
to similar process.
A discussion took place upon the
