Seas, where were several hundreds of
people, subjects of His Majesty.
They had missionaries, traders and
sailors who had drifted away to
those islands. The Hon. Noble
Bishop and another gentleman also
made some remark that they should
make their policy strictly domestic:
that they had enough to do to take
care of their own people. He ad-
mitted there was good reason in that.
Yet it was worthy of consideration
that the religious sentiment of the
world sought expansion. 1t may be
that in Christian countries there is
need for Christian work among the
poor and ignorant, yet they feel that
there is q sutficiency of teachers at
home to look after its wants. The
Government of this Kingdom, situ-
ated in the midst of q kindred peo-
pie, surrounded by hostile in
tluences to civilization, even if they
had not ships of war, might still
give them friendly assistance
and give them moral support.
Mr.. Castle and other honorable
gentlemen who advocated this strict
attention to domestic affairs, this re-
gard for home interests, had not
maintained that attitude themselves.
They had indulged in a foreign
policy. There was foreign
policy INDUCED in at one time to
| part with IA portion of this Kingdom.
There was n Government that
sought to part with piece of Ha-
waiian territory for certain advan-
tages. This was line of foreign
policy that he could not sympathize
with. "A foreign policy that he
would be in favor of--which was
not possible at present. would be to
have an increase of territory. But
at present he was in favor only of
increasing Hawaiian influence. The
Hon. Noble Bishop was of opinion
that they had not been benefited by
their efforts abroad at New Orleans
and Louisville. He was sure the
honorable Noble had high opinion
of the qualities of DIR. Mott Smith,
and would give faith to his state
ments. He therefore read extracts
from DR. Smiths letters, which ex-
pressed opinions to the effect that
Hawaii's appearance at the eXhibi-
tions would be of great advantage
to her. Continuing he said they
had to consider what were the ad-
vantages that might arise, what
were the requirements, what were
the calls upon them in the future:
They had seen that by the action OF
the Government in sending Ha-
waiian ENJOYS abroad all they had
sought to be accomplished in Portu-
gal and Japan had been accomplish
ed, and that they might see what
still could be accomplished. There
was the National Fisheries EXhibi-
ton, in which they were invited to
take part, but owing to paucity of
resources, they were only
able to squeeze out small
amount, and in consequence put
in Il very small appearance.
An invitation came from the
United States that they should take
part in the Meridian Conference ant
they sent Ambassadors there who
represented them with credit. There
was also the international Health
Conference, where they were repre-
sented by the late esteemed Judg'
Allen. DR.. Mott Smith and th,
Hon. Noble Parker represented then
at New Orleans and Louisville. ant
also at Washington, and from tn
accounts of their visits he was salts
fed they resulted in benefit to tn
! country. Now, next year, ther
l was in contemplation grand jubile
for the good Queen of the grea
British Empire, who celebrates tn
fiftieth anniversary of her reign
5 He felt that Hawaii ought to put i
e an appearance there, whether spe
s cially invited or not. They coul
, not do that without the expenditur
of few thousand dollars.
Rep. Thurston-There are thos
t Makiki claims, which ought to b
i paid.
: Minister Gibson said the membt
Il for Molokai had dealt principal
Z upon the incapacity of the Cover
ment, its blackened name, its tot;
: loss of credit. Now, gentlemen
e that kind of picture was not SUI
+ tained by facts. Their name W;
q not bad their credit was not ruineC
j, lie was satisfied that if this COUNT
y was in need, if its honor was at stall
in any question of this kind, ii
Government could get 10000 {
more in this town, if needed. Bl
it would not have occasion to borro
], another dollar. While the Cover
ment had been going on with the
matters, the expenditure on accou
