Hon. Mr.. Bishop said the argument OF
the Attorney General did not touch the
principle contended for by the supporters
of the resolution, which was a pretty
sound one. The Minister of the Interior
knew that the principle was a sound one,
and that it was misleading to talk about
Generals III Congress. They have to re-
sign their commissions; they cannot be /
both Legislative and Executive officers |
That ought to be the law in this country, /

Record, because those were specified, there

The Government had been trying to shut
out Mr.. Kalua with the offer of a high po-
sition. If he accepts, he (the speaker)
would go for him as he had done for Mr..
Kaulukou. He was not opposing the per-

the question.
Mr.. Thurston moved the ayes and noes
be taken. Agreed to.
The question was then put for the COM
