bill pass. 1t was taken from one
of the Eastern states of the Ameri-
can Union. Carried.
Third reading of bill TO provide
for the holding additional terms Of
the circuit court of the third judi
cial circuit.
Noble Parker moved the indeiin-
lite postponement of the bill. Ha-
makua had no accommodation as yet
for the court. Perhaps they would
have the courthouse enlarged in the
next two years, when it would be
time enough to make the change.
By this bill the people of Kohala
would have further than ever to ira
vel to court. He moved the pre-.
vious question, which carried.

stood, therefore he would vote aye.
Rep. Waipuilani, on being called,
said that when the Kona people Went
to Waimea, they lost their horse
ropes; therefore he voted no.
Noble Parker moved reconsider
alton, which lost.
Third reading of bill to define the
duties of kokuas of the lepers.
Noble Widemann asked whether
the kokuas supported themselves or
were supported by the Government.
Minister Peterson said they were
supposed to support themselves, but
practically they were charge on
the Government.
Noble Widemann believed the
answer of the Attorney G eneral was
absolutely correct. AS he believed
that the bill would cause misrule,
| discomfort, and trouble all round,
he moved it be indefinitely post
poned.
Noble Macfarlane stated, as a
member of the committee, that they
had gone carefully into the subject.
Mr.. Meyer, Superintendent, had
recommended this measure, because
the kokuas were getting nothing for
their work. They were not getting
extra rations direct, but shared in
those of the lepers whom they help
ed. AS the House had decided not
to increase the rations, the bill
would not make any difference in
that respect. Therefore he moved
that the bill pass.
Noble j. nj. 'Horner wished TO
note the fact that there were thou
sand dogs and seventy-five kokuas
maintained out of the Government
ratiOns, which accounted for the de-
mand from the lepers every session
for increased rations.
| Rep. Paehaole, as a member OF
the Molokai visiting committee and
a resident of the island, said that
Noble Widemann was drawing on
his imagination.
| Noble Widemann SAID the hon.
member was entirely mistaken in
the drift of his remarks. 1t was a
great mistake for the Board of Health
to admit those kokuas under the i'm
preston that they would supper,
themselves. If kokua earned his
food by helping the lepers, he con.
sidered he worked for his living the
same as rats and mice-he did good
service. For work the kokuas should
he paid but they should not be indie.
pendent of the manager.
Rep. White could not see the OBJ.
lection to paying the kokuas.
Noble Widemann withdrew hi.
motion, and the bill passed, recon
sideration being lost.
Third reading of bill giving ,
franchise to the Hamakua Water
Company.
Noble Marsden moved that the
bill pass.
Rep. Waipuilani moved that the
name of Noble Marsden be inserted
as one of the grantees, as he had
done all the work. "The laborer il
worthy of his hire"
The bill passed, amidst bursting
of paper bags.
President Walker wished to say
on behalf of grateful country, thai
he was very much obliged to thu
House for the prompt manner il
which the business had been dis,
patched this evening. There wa:
no further business on the table.
Noble Macfarlane inquired con
corning the whereabouts of the
keroseee oil bill. 1t was very i'm
portant measure.
