of those of 1886.

many changes made in the rules of 1888
to meet the new Constitution. One was
with regard to the veto, another 80 that
the Ministers could not vote on q want
of confidence.
Rep. Kalua favored the rules of 1886.
Rep Kapaehaole was in favor of the
rules of 1883. They were made to fit
provisions of the Constitution. It was 90
ing to be waste of time and money to
adopt rules which will have to be
changed and amended. He had heard
no one say why the rules of 1888 should
not be adopted.
Noble Macfarlane Withdrew his motion
and moved that, as very few members
knew anything of the rules either of 1885
or 1888, the question be referred to a
committee.

the House was to adjourn in the mean
time, or 60 on without any rules. It took

temporarily rules Of 1883 be adopted.

better withdraw the last.
The motion to adopt the rules of 1888
was carried.
Noble Isenberg nominated Rep. Cecil
Brown as President.
