The Minister of Interior now moved new item
Purchase of Government steam vessel $780,
000." There were many reasons why the Govern.
ment should have such a vessel. He was not un,
mindful of the extent of the Appropriation bill.
1t was heavy, but not beyond their resources. The
House had passed Loan Act of S2,000000. He
felt satisfied that the ordinary revenue would pro-
vide for all. Their sources OF revenue were i'm
n II IL 81 Ill.
in the Appropriation bill would be provided for.
1t had been mooted that there should be some
slight increase in the taxation Probably this
matter would be attended to before the House ad-
journed.
Representative Thurston said he knew it was of
little use for him 10 stand ny and oppose this ltem
or any other extravaganza the Ministers brought
forward. He had been advised by MS friends to
let these matters alone, and let the majority men,
bers 90 on and score themselves. But he did not
believe in silence preferrlng 10 enter his protest
against such items. The members all knew that /
this man-of-war, or yacht for His Majesty, had |
been long talked of. The Minister of the Interior
had talked economy, but now he was going in for !
extravaganza. The gist of the matter was that the
Minister of the Interior would vote for anything |
SO long as he could retain power. He was, with re-
gard to Office, a desperate man.
I he previous question was now moved and the |
ayes and noes were taken on the item, 1t passing,
by the following count:
AYEs-rhe Ministers (3), Kulhelani, Bush, Kaae
Kapena, Parker, Hayselden, Keau, L!likalani, Ba-
ker Kaulukou Paha, Kaunalnano, Nahinu, Ka-
lua Aholo, Kaukau, Dole, Kauai, Palohau-22.
NoEs-Kauni, Amara, haulia, Wight, Nahale,
Richardson. Dickey, Kaai, Ihurston, Paehaole-10.
A motion to reconsider being made, Rep. Dole
spoke indignantly against the moving of the pre-
Yious question. He considered the action con-
temptible. With regard To the item the Ministers
knew that 100000 would not be sufficient. 1t
would be an expensive plaything for His Majesty.
A bycice would probably be the next thing voted
to his Majesty.
The Minister of the Interior objected to the Ian
guage used and the President ruled that Rep. Dole
should not use the name of His Majesty so freely.
Representative Dole continued he had right to
refer to His Majesty, and should continue to do
so. IheAiinister of the Interior had used His
Majesty's name as club to beat the members
with, and he was sorry say some of them had cen
struck He did not intend to 1t SO, ne had too
much respect for the kingly office. This item was
for plaything for the King, and it absurd and
ridiculous to ask the Representatives to vote the
amount. it was an insult to the intelligence of
the House. The motion to reconsider was now
put and lost, the item passing:
Purchase of Government steam vessel. 100000
Representative Wight rose to question of privi-,
lege stating that, he absent the occasion of
the vote on the indefinite postponement of the
Opium bill, during the morning, but that he now
desired to be placed on record as opposed to the
bill.
The Minister of the Interior now moved new
ltem viz:
Running expenses Government steamer. 700
as follows
