be segregated without being con-
signed to living tomb. They were
asked for Sl4S,00O for the army,
and only 100000 for the leper
settlement. They were asked for
this amount for the army, and only
500, 900 for the schools. Half the
army appropriation applied to the
schools would give. them the finest
educational system in the world.
Minister Gibson was sorry discus
sion had arisen ut this stage. There
was bill pending for the organize
ton of the army and navy, and he
moved the consideration of those
items, with the exception of that for
Guards to Government Buildings
and Jail, be deferred until that bill
was disposed of. He would make
some remarks in reply to the last
speaker. His utterances were in
the line of the usual TRADES indulg-
ed in by persons coming to this
country and taking u superficial
view of affairs here. That line of
argument belonged to the streets
and was Inappropriate in this house.
This country was not laughed at by
strangers. 1t was people living
here who ridiculed what they termed
the 'army," and strangers could
hardly set foot on the shore without
being treated to that kind of talk.
Comparison had been instituted be-
tween the great United States and
little Hawaii, but he ventured to
say that the great country named
expended not less than $3.50, 100000
on her army and navy. She did not
spend money on hospitals, which
were established and maintained by
the humane benevolence of her peo-
pie. She spent practically nothing
on schools to what she spent for
military purposes. The same was
true respecting England and all the
great nations.
Rep. Dole seconded the motion to
defer, saying he would, unlike the
Minister, reserve his ammunition for
the discussion on the bill in ques-
ton.
Rep. Kalua moved in amendment
that the four items be deferred.
Rep. Richardson raised the point,
which was sustained, that the items
must be taken separately.
The item was deferred.
Guards to Government Buildings
and Jail. .......... 200
Rep. Dole raised the point that
the items, being recommended struck
out in the revised estimates, was not
before the house.
The chair ruled that only the
Appropriation Bill was before the
house, and it required a motion to
bring forward recommendation to
alter the bill.
Rep. Brown moved the item be
deferred until the appropriations for
the Interior Department were again
before the house. When the item
came before the select committee on
police, the Minister of Interior in
formed him that the recommended
withdrawal was mistake, as it was
only intended to have it transferred
to the Interior Department.
The motion to defer carried.
