lie had called the attention OF the
House to the question of whether it
was worth while turning out the
Ministry for the sake of removing
petty officer on Molokai. If these
four Ministers were turned out it
was very questionable If their sue
cessors, had they any backbone,
would submit to the dictation of any
committee in n matter where n Min
lister could do justice. Reference of
the petition to the Minister was the
best disposition of it to make in his
judgment. He did not think it was
well or wise for this House TO "a.
Sume the functions of the Govern
ment. III they could do that, they
might rs well establish themselves
rs the Supreme Court of the coun-
try. Then they would have every
thing in their own hands--the Leg
islative, the Executive, aad the Ju-
dicial. There would then he forty
eight Ministers instead of four, and
they would have jolly time.
Rep. Nawahi was in favor of re-
ferring the matter TO either the com
mittee or to the Minister, and if TO
the Minister action should he taken
on il.
Rep. Paehaolc was sorry that No
bic Widemann had gone out, and
spoke at length.
Noble Marsden moved the previ-
Gus question. Carried.
Rep. White appealed on the ground
that he had the floor when the previ-
Gus question was moved. Perhaps
the Noble from Hamakua was so
much bigger than he that the Presi-
dent could not see him. He would
suggest that the President wear his
glasses.
President Walker said he recog-
nized Noble Marsden first, but per-
haps Rep. White was up first. If he
had made mistake it was not in
territorial.
The Chair was sustained.
The petition was referred to the
| Minister of the Interior.
| REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.

it had pleased His Majesty to sign
the following bills:
An Act to amend Sec. |, Chap. .,

Noble Marsden presented the re-

trio motive power. They submit a

Rep. White presented q minority
report of committee on opium bills,
as follows:
TO the Hon. J. S. WALKER, Pres
ident of the Legislature.
Sir,-The undersigned respectful
ly report upou the bills Nos. SO, SO,
1856, and 147, referring to licensing
the sale of opium:
That bill 1876 should he indefinite.
ly postponed, and that bills SO and
147 may not be commendable fol
being too complicated. Bill SO may
however, be amended by inserting {
section in the same to read as fol-
lows:
1.-THE licensee under this Act ant
every other person shall not sell
give, or in anywise furnish any
opium to any native Hawaiian; and
any person except duly licensed
physician or druggist upon the
prescription of duly licensed ply
stefan who shall sell, give or fur
nish to any native Hawaiian any
opium or any preparation of opium
shall be guilty of misdemeanor an(
upon conviction thereof, shall bt
punished by fine not ex
ceeding five hundred dollars or b,
Imprisonment at hard labor not ex
ceeding two years or by both sucl
fine and Imprisonment. All police
/ and district justices shall have juris
, diction in such cases."
And with such section added Il
the bill we recommend the same fol-
] passage. The question of revenue
alone, though of Importance, is thC
, last which we have considered, bu
the effect of issuing license ant
, preventing the thefts and corruption
