He did not question the desirability
of having executive ability combined
with professional knowledge, and
he had been told that the present
President was a man OF good bust
ness capacity This was well; in
that case he was just the man for
the place. What he objected TO
was making the position one to be
reserved exclusively for practi-
toner. There had been nothing
saved by having professional man
at the head, just rs many physicians
having had to be called in as before
to decide technical questions. AS
a rule-he made no personal allu-

for the salary of $1,000 a year, as a

Honolulu could command much
more income.
Noble Widemann was sorry the
Attorney-General had divulged the
secret of DR.. Thompson's importa-
ton, as he did not like to handle
dirty things. If those two late
Ministers had appropriated public
money TO pay that doctors passage
they had done something entirely
unjustifable. lie could not see,
however, how the business could
have been done without the Presi-
dent having been consenting party.
His opinion was the same as that of
the hon. Noble from Maui about the
kind of physicians that would be
attracted by the position, They had
seen first class doctor who was
filing the Office without pay forced
out, and the position given to another
doctor solely rs q reward for his
having carried rife.

ORDER OF THE DAY.
On motion of Rep. Kalua the
House proceeded TO the order of the
day.
The House went into committee
of the whole, Rep. Kauh in the
chair, for consideration of second
reading of the Oahu Railway bill.
Noble Mccarthy was in favor Of
the bill, because, on the platform on
which he was elected, he was pledged
TO support the extension of the rail-
way round the island of Oahu.
Next, he was in favor of the bill be-
cause he believed that the railway
would pay, that it would afford en-
ployment to mechanics and laborers,
and that it would open up lands 10
cultivation, which would add to the
taxable property of the country.
He did not believe that the Govern
ment would have to pay the
guaranteed interest. Let those who
believed the contrary vote against
the bill. One of the objections
heard was that Dillingham; and his
friends would make money. Well,
he would say they would be darned
fools if they didn't. He was in favor
of having this railway built by home
capital, so that the profits of the
enterprise would be retained in the
country. There was class of
capital tied up here. He referred
TO numerous trust funds, which
would be available for this enter
prise if the Government guaranteed
the interest. 1t would be better for
the country to have capital Embossed
for this improvement than to have
the Crown lands parcelled out in
homestcads. Some members who
objected to granting public money
for private enterprises smilingiy &C.

pended the past six years for the
encouragement of labor immigra-
ton. They also for the past ten
years had received subsidy of SAC
a ton for their sugar, from another
Government but yet through the in.
terposition of this Government.
Besides this all their sugar machin,
cry was admitted free of duty. II
that was not subsidy he would like
to know what was. They also argued
that the company should build the
railway with their own money. He
wondered il these gentlemen all be.

dollar to anybody. All who were
elected on the National Reform plat.
form, especially on the Island oil
Oahu, were bound to vote for this
bill.
Noble j. NJ. IIorner read a speech
in which he sarcastically hit off the
methods of the opposition TO the
bill, and urged the Importance Of
the projected railway to the develop
ment of the country.
The President during the reading
assumed the chair in order to call in
quorum.
Noble Muller said the reading was
tiresome and moved the hon. Noble
should wait to have his speech trans,
lated in pieces.
Noble Ilorner-Please interpret
that so | can understand it.
Noble Muller repeated his motion,
and the interpreter was given an
inning.
