form q Cabinet, His Majesty the
King had selected the members of
the Cabinet, and not Mr.. Gibson.
They were the choice of His Majesty,
and Mr.. Gibson heartily concurred
in His Majesty's choice.
Rep. Thurston asked if the Minis
ter meant His Majesty Kalakaua or
His Majesty Spreckels.
Minister Gibson said that such q
scandalous remark was an insult,
and unworthy of the Assembly.
Mr.. Spreckels was an honorable and
worthy gentleman, and he (the
speaker) could say most positively
that that gentleman did not have
one word to say in the selection of
His Majesty's Minister'S.
The Chairman said the house had
wandered away from the tax bill.
Minister Dare said he made it "A
rule in his life that if missiles were
thrown he would get out of range.
But when they were thrown inten-
tionally at him he gave them back.
In the first place, he was aware he
was not going to talk upon the sub
iect before the Chair, but he asked
as a right TO reply to the attacks
upon him as personal privilege.
Rep. Brown rose to n point of
order. The question before the
house was section l2. He objected
to the personalities that had been
indulged in on both sides. 1t was
not right The committee was here
to attend to business.
Minister Dare said he agreed with
the gentleman, but why did he not
raise this objection when his friends
of the Opposition were making per-
sonal attacks? 1t was singular that
the objection was reserved for the
time when q reply was to be made
to these attacks.
Rep. Brown denied that he was
allied with any party. He was sent
there by his constituents, to serve
them and the country as best he
could, and acted in the house ac-
cording to his own Judgment.
Minister Dare acknowledged that
Mr.. Brown was mostly Independent,
but he claimed the right of reply as
a matter of personal privilege. He
was in the Hawaiian Kingdom on the
invitation of His Hawaiian Majesty
the King. Could the member for
Lihue say as much.
Rep. Dole-I am here by right of
birth. Mr.. Spreckels put you here.
Minister Dare said the hon. mem
Der was there by the accident Of
birth. He was not a consenting
party and had no voice in the matter.
| Mr.. Dole and Mr.. Thurston were
the children of missionaries who
came to this country to be part of
it, and he (the speaker) and his
parents had contributed the ten
cents towards the fund raised by
contributions to support them.
Their parents had come to Hawaii
to do good and become part of the
people, but these gentlemen were
not satisfied in being part, they
wanted to own the country. That
was what was wrong with the Oppo-
si,ion now, as it had been in the
past-they were not willing to parti,
cipate in the management of affairs,
but they must have absolute contro
and because they could not get il
thew abused eyery man who stood
in their way. Any foreigner wht
was here and who was not in sym
pathy with the native Hawaiian
should go hence. For his part, i
he held views similar to those enter
tanned by Messrs. Dole and Thurs
ton regarding the natives of thi
country, he would get up and leav'
it.
Rep. Dole rose to point of order
He would like to have the views Of
the Attorny-G G eneral, but some othe
time would do. He could not con
meet his remarks with section l2.
Minister Dare said he had de
parted from the subject in the SAM
way as the hon. member had done
Allusion had been made to Colone
Spreckels in a most unwarrantabl'
manner. He had known that gen
tleman intimately for many years
perhaps better than any man in TIN
kingdom, and if His Majesty tn
King had subjects as loyal and de
voted to the best interests of tn
country, and as sincere and earnes
in their desire for its happiness ant
we'll being, he should bless God fo
such supporters. He had neve
heard Colonel Spreckels speak c
this country in any other terms tina
an earnest desire for its advancemer
. and the entire benefit of the Hs
waiian race. For himself he 9th
