Minister and his agents had des-
ce1Ged.
Rep. Rich; rdson thought the
proper course was to ley this report
on the bic. 1t had always been
the Gus ON TO l..y reports on the
table when on,y portion OF u COM
mittee reported. Ni'eh majority
reported and an ajiempt was made
10 inder nitelv pos poue the report,
it looked as if there YVES some truth
in the CHARGES, He was elected,
not TO op >ose tha Ministers, b t was
there to no f's du.y, Ii appeared
to him, from Tie efforts made TO
indefinitely postpone this report,
that the majority IN The house
wanted to shun the truth, and did
not want to face it. He wanted to
satisfy himself if there was any
answer to those charges; if there
was any evidence on The side of the
accused, he wanted to hear it. If
the horse indefinitely postponed
this report, he would have to make
up his mind on the matter before
him. As he said before, he was not
elected to oppose the Government,
but II the Ministers insisted on post
poning this, they would compel
many members TO vote against them.
Rep. Palohau was not in favor of
the report of the committee. The
committee said the charges against
the Minister were brought hcme to
him. Now, under what law were
they to punish the Minister? If any
member of the Assembly was guilty
of disorde,ly conduct, they had 6
light to suspend him. The Min
lister was here in Honolulu. Those
things were dcne away over on La
maj. How could it be said that the
Minister was guilty? The Civil
Code provided DIRT those people be
allowed to get wood, water and fish
off the land. If they had been dc
prived of those privileges, the law
gave them q remedy.
Minister Dare sid the member
for Molokai seemed TO have his
branding iron out to-day. Mature
saved the hon. member from the
necessity of being branded. His
vindictiveness, his narrow minded
ness, and his vinegary vis&ge-his
whole personal appearance--stamped
his character. If any reason were
lacking for his motion to indefinitely
postpone this report, they were fur
nished in the vindictiveness, the
abusive language and the sour
visage of the hon. member. He had
cc,led upon the native members to
save themselves from slavery, and
then tried to epslave the members
himself. If they were to be slaves,
who should their master be? Was it
the gray-haired patriarch at The head
of this Government, or the vindic-
tive, sour-visaged member for Molo-
Lai! The speaker proceeded, de-
rouncing tbe member for NIolokei
for having charged a member of the
house with perjury IN order to gain
a point against poiitical opponents.
His regret was that the laws pre-.
vented their kicking The committee
out of the house as well as their re-
port.
Rep. Thurston-Try it on as soon
as you are ready.
Minister Dare-I would not osk
any help when was ready. Pro-
ceeding be referred to the report as
the work of the hon. member for
Mololai, which Rep. Thurston con-
tradicted, end Rep. Hayselden said
he was informed by the Interpreter
that the report was in Rep. Thurs
toms handwriting. The Interpreter,
appealed to, said portion If the
last sheet was in the hon. members
handwriting. The speaker asked if,
as the hon. member said, the Minis
ter's agents Oil Lanai had committed
acts that made them liable to the
penitentiary, why did not the hon.
member pat them there, instead of
coming down here and trying to
damn an irresponsible man? If
there were aliases against the privi-
leges of electo rs ON Lanai: if Ha-
waiian citizen lost single right; let
the member for Molol1ai bring the
matter into court. Concluding, he
appealed to the Hawaiian members
not to make themselves slaves at the
bidding of vindictive partisan.
Rep. Hayselden referring to the
charge of obstruction of the commit
tee, said Rep. Thurston himself
asked for postponement at different
times to allow him TO attend ST.
preme Court, and sometimes to go
to baseball matches. He denied
that he had prompted witness in
the personal reference to Rep.
Thurston. That reference came
from the witness freely on cross
examination. Rep. Thurston he'd
asked to have that reference stricken
out of the report, and the speaker
assented OH condition that the
personal reference to Henry Gibson
was also struck out. The later
was brought in for dirty purpose
and it had its dirty reward.
Rep. Brown argued that to in
definitely postpone the report of G
regularly appointed committee, with,
