The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1886-07-07
Rep. Kaulukou moved resolution

that 140 copies of the first volume
of Hawaiian Reports Gin native),
discovered in the Health office, be
placed in the Interior Department
where they belong.
Minister Gibson told how the
volumes had been discovered, and
suggested that the resolution should
order them to be bound.
Rep. Brown did not think the
Legislature should be saddled with the
expense of binding the volumes, but
thought they should be turned into
the Interior Department where they
could be sold. The first volume of
Reports was out of print, and this
was the first time he had heard it
was translated.
The resolution carried.
Rep. Kaai presented resolution
that from and after to-day the house
meet three evenings each week
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
until the end of the session. He
said they had now a large number
of bills and were making very little
progress in disposing of them. A
great many of them were important
requiring to be considered carefully
and not sighted. They had been
there long time already and by
and by, when some bills of merit
came up, members would vote 10 iu-
definitely postpone them simply be-
cause they were in a hurry. Much
time had already been wasted, fire.
quently little resolution occupying
whole day, as every member
thought he should speak on it.
Another reason was that some mem
bers of the Assembly had been APP
pointed assessors of taxes and ought
to be engaged in their duties as such
now. If they wanted to get through
they must do more work.
Minister Dare moved an amend
ment that the time allowed each
member for speeches on resolutions
be limited to five minutes.
Rep. Thurston supposed he would
be called obstructive, but he did not
think that after working hard there
all day till 5 O'Clock they would he
fit for more of it in the evening.
They would get 80 tired in few
days with night sessions that they
would not accomplish as much as
before. By 8 o'clock there would
be some very sleepy members.
When he got through there in the
afternoon he was about as tired as
he wanted to be, and went home and
to bed at 8 o'clock. A number of
members had told him they went TO
bed as early as they could. The
workman was worthy of his hire,
and he did not believe in driving a
willing horse to death. They worked
there six days in the week and they
ought to have the nights to them
selves.
Rep. Dickey believed the amend
ment should be treated as separate
motion, as it referred to a different
subject.
Minister Dare accordingly with
drew his amendment, saying he
would present it as separate reso-
luton.
Rep. Kaunamano moved the con-
sideration of the resolution be indef-
initely postponed. No doubt the
hon. member for Hama meant we'll
enough, but many members COM
menced their duties on committees
as early as eight in the morning.
He agreed with the hon. member for
Molokai. 1t was written that the
night was made for the devil and his
imps. In another place it was writ
ten, "Watchman, what of the night?"
1t was not only watchmen that kept
awake all night. If they had night
sessions they would have to have
watchmen to keep the members
awake. Some Of them (mentioning
himself and others) were old men
who got through their work there
and went to bed early. If they
were going to do this extra work
their bodies would suffer, they
would be worn out and become i'm
paired in health.
The resolution was voted down.
Rep. Kaulukou gave notice of an
act to provide for the establishment
of a naval and military academy.
He also moved a resolution that the
Appropriation Bill be made the
order Of the day for each day.
Rep. Thu-ston thought it was
something altogether out of prece-
dent to give the Appropriation Bill
preference TO all other business.
The President ruled that, unless
the resolution said Gin the house," it
would not be in order.
Minister Dare regarded it as SIM
ply that the Appropriation Bill be
placed at the head of the list for
consideration in committee of the
whole.
Rep. Kaai moved an amendment
that the Appropriation Bill be con-
sidered each day in committee of
the whole.
Both the amendment and the
main motion were rejected.
Rep. Kaai presented a resolution
that from this day each member be
only allowed to speak five minutes on
