I and stated that Mr.. Kaulukou was the
( man who made the offer.
I Mr.. Kaulukou said the appointment of
( Sheriffs rested entirely with the Governors,
With the approval of the Attorney General.
He thought Mr. KaIua would be eompe-
tent To fill such an office and would rec
ommend him.
The motion 10 pass the pension at 81 200
s year was put and carried.
Mr.. Dickey moved TO put in the same
amendment TO section as in the Parlle
bill. Agreed TO,
Mr.. Brown moved to lay the bill as
amended upon the table. Lost
The bill passed to engrossment and was
ordered TO be read third time on Satur-
day.
a STATEMENT CONFIRMED.
Mr. Kalua said that His Excellency Mr.
Gibson had stated that he knew nothing
about the offer of the position of Sheriff
being made to him. He 1.-THE speaker)
would say that the Minister was quite cor
rect in his statement
PERMANENT SETTLEMENT FOR II. R. II. PRIN-
CESS POoMAIKELANI.
Consideration of an Act to provide a
Her Royal Highness the Princess Poomai-
kelani.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved the bill pass to
engrosSment
Mr.. Brown moved the following amend
ment, to be inserted at the end of section
?: And provided, further, that this sum
shall not he paid so long as the said Prin-
cess holds any other salaried office. di-
rectly or indirectly"
Mr.. Dickey moved the bill be indefinitely
postponed. Her Royal Highness, as Pres
ident OF the Board of Geneaology, had
drawn $3.50 month during the last two
years, and also 81 800 year as Governess
of Hawaii.
Mr. Dole said that as the Royal family
could be increased by comforting titles,
there was no limit to this ramifcation in
the future They had better draw a line
right here. There were three young boys
at school at San Mateo, each with the title
of Prince. If this bill was passed, they
would lcar of pensions being asked for at
the next session for these young Princes.
The public COW was drying up. The APP
preparation bill reaches a sum near to
$4,0O0,O00. His Majesty sent in a message
for retrenchment, and it would be an insult
TO him to pass such a bill, 50 far above the
revenue. 1t was ridiculous-it was insane.
He had nothing whatever to say against
the Princess-the personnel was not under
consideration. She was only related to the
Royal family by marriage. Why should
she feed at the Government crib? No
reason had been given. In a few weeks
they would see poor people going to pay
their taxes, and that money, which had
been hard to obtain, would go towards sup
porting others in wealth. The King was
the servant of the people; he was paid
certain salary for doing their work. Pro
vision was also made for the Royal family
in addition to the King, as follows: Her
Majesty the Queen, the Heir Apparent
Princess Likelike and Princess Kaiulani.
These included the Royal family proper.
They should draw the line outside of that.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said he pro-
tested against the language used by Mr..
Dole. The King was not servant of the
people. The King may be the father and
friend of The people, but all his rights did
not eni;natc from the choice of the Legis-
lature. lie had hereditary rights outside
of this. lie vas great hereditary Chief.
At that ne the choice lay between two or
three of thr treat Chiefs, of whom he was
one. Prince Kalakaua was entitled to the
throne by r;2ht of birth and by limit of
choice He was surprised at the ignorance
displayed By Mr.. Dole of the Constitution
of the monGrchjal institution of this coun-
try. He should know, irrespective of
his republican, ideas and political
views and Inspirations, that the
King was the larger part of this
legislature What would all their
work amount to without the approval of
the King? This lady was created Her
Royal Highness by letters patent, and had
a right to be considered with the other
members of the Royal family.
Mr.. Kaulukou said he was sorry to see
Mr.. Dole show such ignorance. This lady
ranks very high among the Chiefs and
Chiefesses on the island OF Kauai.
Perhaps Mr.. Dole did not know that, but
he ought to, as he was we'll acquainted with
that island. However, his remarks would
not influence the House. This lady was
afflicted with hip disease, yet she had
performed her duties as Govern
ess of the island of Hawaii, and was much
respected by all the residents on that
island.
The motion to indefinitely postpone the
the section was lost
Mr.. Dickey moved to fix the settlement
at 81 800 per year. Lost.
On motion of Mr.. Kaulukou, the bill
passed to engrossment and was ordered to
be read a third time on Saturday.
Mr.. Dickey moved the House take a re-
cess until o'clock p. IN.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved the House adjourn
to 10 O'Clock Thursday morning. Carried.
The House adjourned at AS o'clock.
