across tile nOOr, lie
moved thai Tuesday next he the day
for the consideration of The reports.
Rep. X, au said there seemed to
he no difference between the maj
orily and minority o. questions oI
fact, therefore he did not see any
reason for putting off II decision,
and moved to make the reports the
order for this afternoon.
Rep. Dole said all the members
were not so smart as the hon. mem-
ber for Honolulu. He could not do
justice to the discussion this after
noon. (Rep. Keau withdraws his
motion.
Rep. Kolua moved to appoint
Saturday.
Minister Neumann supported
the motion of the hon. member
for Molokai. A great many men,
bers would be absent on Saturday,
and perhaps it would be impossible
to get quorum.
The motion for Tuesday prevailed.
Rep. Kaulukou said The transla-
ton of the Judiciary Committees
report on the North Kona election
was ready, and the English version
was thereupon read at the table by
Interpreter Wilcox
Rep. Castle moved that the report
lie on the table and be considered
next Tuesday afternoon. He was
inclined to think the final recon-
mendation of the committee was
correct.
Minister Neumann asked If the
report was unanimous, and, being
informed it was, moved that it be
adopted and the petition indefinitely
postponed.
Rep. Dole did not wonder that the
majority of the house wanted to dis
pose of this report before the other
came up, because these two reports
were inconsistent. And, as one or
the other was on the advice of the
Attorney-General, he could see why
this report should be got out of the
way before the other came up. For
instance, in Kona there were some
non-residents allowed to vote; then
non-residents of Kaanapali should
have been allowed to vote.
The President called the mem
ber's attention TO the fact that the
report must be taken from the table
before it would be otherwise dis
posed Of, which on motion was done.
Rep. Dole, continuing, moved
that the report be considered on
Tuesday next. AS they said in
England, this was dilemma with
two horns, and they must take the
bull by both horns. When the dis
cussion came up on Tuesday,
whether they had the two reports or
not, the members would want to hear
and discuss them.
Rep. Kaulukou said the report
was that, even allowing all the
the votes claimed by Pilipo, it would
still leave Nahale ahead. From the
evidence they found that both candi-
dates took the votes of non-resi-
dents. If Pilipo had the names of
malihinis on the list, the protest
from him did not come with good
grace.
Minister Neumann renewed his
amendment (that fell through on the
point of order), for the adoption OF
the report.
Rep. Dole said the remarks of the
member for Hilo made him fee
more strongly the necessity for de-
ferring action. The committee
seemed to have regarded the issue
as having been between Pilipo anc
Nahale, which was a misapprehen
sion, as the matter came up on ;
petition from electors of NOrtl
Kona. Pilipo had nothing to dc
with the case, and could not waive
the rights of the electors of the dis
trict. The committee seemed t
have regarded it in the light of ,
case in the police court, where ont
party to an action waived certain
rights. This matter concerned mo-
only their rights, but those of ever.
member of the Assembly. In tina
matter alone the committee seemed
to have misjudged the case, anc
they ought not to adopt the report
which was improper Jon one point
The member Tor Hilo and the AT
torney-General represented grea
majority in the house, and no mat
ter what happened on Tuesday the
, could adopt the report then. The
could carry anything by force G
, numbers. He moved the previou
, question.
Minister Neumann said he di
not know where the hon. membe
got his information that he (th
speaker) led a majority in thi
house.
| Rep. Dole called for vote o
the previous question, which th
; President sustained, and the motto
4 was put and lost.
