= Court.
e Mr. Dickey would ask the Minister o
T. Interior why, with all his love for the Ha
4 waiians. he had imported two lawyer,
: from California and selected white man
G who had only been in the county year
! and half, to I'll positions in the Cabinet
: His E1cellency Mr.. Gibson begged &c
say that, although nominally called to
form a Cabinet, His Majesty the King had
selected the members Of the Cabinet, and
not AT. Gibson. They we're the choice OF
His Majesty, and Ar. Gibson heartily con-
CURED in His Majesty's choice.
Mr.. Thurston asked if Mr.. Gibson meant
His Majesty Kalakaua or His Majesty
Spreckels.
His Excellency Mr. Gibson said that
such scandalous remark was an insult,
and unworthy of the Assembly. Mr.
I Spreckels was an honorable and worthy
J gentleman, and he (the speaker) could say
most positively that that gentleman did
not have one word to say in the selection
/ of His Majesty's Ministers.
| The Chairman said the House had
| wandered away from the Tax bill.
! His Excellency Mr.. Dare said he made
! ii rule in his life that if missiles were
thrown he would get out of range. But
when they were thrown Intentionally at
him he gave them back. In the first place
he was aware he was not going to talk
upon the subject before the Chair, but he
asked right to reply to the attacks
upon him As personal privilege.
Mr.. Brown rose to point of order. The
question before the House was section -
He objected to the personalities that had
been INDUCED in on both sides. 1t was not
right. The committee was here TO attend
to business.
His EXcelIency Mr.. Dare said he agreed |
with Mr.. Brown but why did he not raise |
this objection when his friends of the OPP |
position were making personal attacks? 1t
was singular that the objection was re-
served for the time when reply was to be
made to these attacks.
Mr.. Brown denied that he was identified
with the Opposition. He was independent,
and acted in the House according to his
own Judgment.
His ExcelIency Mr.. Dare acknowledged !
that Mr.. Brown was mostly independent,
but he claimed the right of reply as a mat
ter of personal privilege He was in the
Hawaiian Kingdom on the invitation of
His Hawaiian Majesty the King. Could
Mr.. Dole say as much.
Mr.. DOLE am here by right of birth.
Mr.. Spreckels put you here.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare-Mr. Dole is
here by the accident of birth He was not
a consenting party and had no voice in the
matter. Mr.. Dole and Mr. Thurston were
the children of missionaries who came to
this country to be part of it, and he (the
speaker and his parents had contributed
the ten cents towards the fund raised by
similar contributions to support them.
Their parents had come to Hawaii to do
good and become part of the people, but
they were not satisfied in being a part
they wanted to own the country. That
was what was wrong with the Opposition
now, as it had been in the past-they were
not willing to participate in the manage
ment of affairs, but they must have abso-
lutte control-and because they could not
get it they abused every man who stood
in their way. Any foreigner who is here
and who is not in sympathy with the ma
tive Hawaians should go hence. For his
part, if he held views similar to those en-
tertained by Messrs. Dole and Thurston
the natives of this country, he
would get up and leave it.
Mr.. Dole rose to point of order. He
would like to have the views of the Attor-
ney General, but some other time would
do. He could not connect his remarks
with section II.
His Excellency Mr. Dare said he had de-
parted from the subject in the same way
as Mr. Dole had done. Allusion had been
made to Colonel Spreckels in a most un-
manner. He had known that
gentleman intimately for many years, per-
haps better than any man in the King
dom, and if His Majesty the King had
subjects as loyal and devoted to the best
interests of the country, and as sincere and
in their desire for its happiness
and well being, he should bless God for
such supporters. He had never heard
Colonel Spreckels speak of this country In
any other terms than an earnest desire for
its advancement and the entire benefit of
the Hawaiian race. For himself he (the
speaker came here, having arrived at the
years of discretion. There was no act of
his either here or elsewhere that was not
explainable upon reason and judgment.
He came here of his own accord
with full knowledge of what he was
doing and the responsibilities he was un-
dertaking, and he was personally respon-
sible for every act of his life, either in this
Assembly or out of it. He had nothing to
conceal and he was as proud of every act
Of his life as any man who breathes the
pure air of Heaven. Mr.. Dare then re-
ferred to the section of the bill under dis
cussion, and argued that it's principle was
that of distribution of power instead of
as Mr.. Thurston had con-
tended
The amendment by Mr.. Richardson was
then put and carried and the section
passed as amended.
Section 10. That section 30 of said Act
be and the same is hereby amended so as t
read as follows:
Section 30. Each Assessor on his appoint
ment to Office, and before entering upon
his duties, shall execute and deliver, to be
filed, bond to the Minister of Finance in
such penal sum, not less than $1,000, as
may be fixed by said Minister of Finance,
with two or more sufficient SI1reties salts | .
