his life by exposing himself in visit
ing patients in company with the
doctor, and exerting himself in the
necessary measures for checking the
the disease. 1t was said that no
pension should be allowed dis
charged officer but so far as the
public know, no reasons have ever
been given for his dismissal.
Noble Bishop said he thought
there was no man in this country had
stronger claim for consideration of
his services than Mr.. Parke. He
had listened with pleasure to all
that had been said in favor of Mr.,
Parke, rs he had known him well 40
years, and he believed lie was worthy
of all the concentrations honorable
members had bestowed upon him.
But he believed it should be under
stood by all who take office in this
country that they are not to expect any
pension or any special returns more
than they would expect in the
service of private parties. Mr..
Parke had always been very gener-
Gus man, and he is not entirely free
from debt. A few years ago, he had
the good fortune to make small
investment in plantation that has
proved profitable. But after saying
all these things in favor of Mr..
Parke, he was sorry to have to say
that he should have to vote against
this bill on principle. He was sorry
to have to do so. He had voted
against similar bills in the past, but
he thought that by passing this bill,
the house would be establishing n
dangerous precedent. This would
not be exactly precedent, but it
would be used as such.
Rep. Keau moved the ayes and
noes be taken. Carried.
The eyes and noes were called, as
follows:
For the motion to lay the bill on
the table: Bishop, Lilikalani, Kauhi,
Brown, Pahia, Wight, Kauhane,
Kalua, Castle, Dickey, Kaai, Thurs
ton, Paehaole, Palohau-14.
Against: Gibson, Creighton,
Dare, Cleghorn, Parker, Hayselden,
Keau, Baker, Amara, Kaulia, Kaulu-
kou, Kaunamano, Nahinu, Kaukau,
Richardson, Kauai-16.
Rep. Kalua moved to amend the
bill by making the pension 81, 200
instead of $4,000.
Rep. Kaulukou moved to insert
81, 800.
Passed Is to IA, at 81, 200.
Rep. Dickey proposed,an amend
ment to which an amendment was
made and accepted, by Minister
Dare, that ''if the said Honorable
w. {. Parke shall at any time accept
a salaried office under Government,
this pension shall cease and deter
mine" Passed.
The bill as amended then passed
to engrossment, and Saturday was
set for third reading.
The house next took up the second
reading of the bill to make a per-
manent settlement on Thomas w.
Everett, of 50, 800 per annum.
Rep. Brown moved the bill be laid
on the table. Lost.
Rep. Hayselden moved to amend
by inserting $1,000 instead of
$4,000.
Rep. Dickey moved the bill be
indefinitely postponed. Mr.. Everett
is in the prime of life, is doing a
good business, and is sheriff
of the Island of Maui, for
which he draws his salary, and is
less entitled to a pension than the
Hon. w. c. Parke.
Rep. Hayselden said the bill pro-
vides that the pension is not to be
drawn unless Mr.. Everett resigns,
Rep. Dole said that plea was
rather transparent. If that princi-
pie is accepted, the house ought to
be consistent and pass pension for
every Government officer in the
Islands. Mr.. Everett is in posses
sion of all his fasulties. He has
not resigned, does not intend to re-
sign and wants no pension. The
fact of the matter is that the Minis
tiers mean to dismiss Mr.. Everett,
and have offered his office to the
honorable member for Lahaina,
(Mr. Kalua) to keep his mouth shut.
No excuses that can be made will
cover up the true inwardness of this
bill.
Rep. Hayselden did not know
what was the matter with the honora-
BILE member for Lihue. This fore.
noon, he advocated giving pension
to every one who had been 25 years
in office.
Minister Gibson said he was al
ways glad to get information. The
honorable member for Lihue hat
given him some information. As
Minister of the Interior, he knew
nothing of the contemplated dis
missal of Mr.. Everett, or of the bar
gain proposed with Mr.. Kalua, IL
which the honorable member hat
just referred.
Rep. Dole said he had heard Of
the arrangement when he was OF
the Island of Maui, and ON his re
turn to Honolulu, asked the honor
able member for Lahaina (Mr
