ORDER OF THE DAY.
Consideration of the Appropria-
ton Bill on third reading.
Salary of the President of the
Board of Health, reconsidered.
Rep. Brown moved $1,000.
Rep. Hookano moved $4,000.
Noble Pua thought $4,000 suf-
ficient. The House had passed
no measure to increase the re-
venue, while continually increas-
ing the Appropriation Bill. He did
not know where the money was COM
ing from. The present President
had not done the work that he was
appointed to do. He had not dis
missed Kahalahili or Reynolds, or
reinstated Sister Rose Gertrude and
DIR. Lutz. Therefore the President
was not worthy of his hire. Look
ing at what he had done, he consid-
cred the President not worth more
than $4,000.
Noble j. M. Horner did not wish
to say anything against the official.
As the item had been opened he
moved it pass at $4,000. He had
given the subject of Government Of
fetal salaries large amount of
study, and come to the conclusion
that In the interest of peace they
should be reduced, till the office
should seek the man and not the
man the office. High Government
salaries were the curse of Honolulu.
The people were divided in the name
of politics, but the division was
really on account of the spoils.
Those having high salaries wanted
to hold on, while those who hadn't
the high salaries wanted them. In
what ought to be lovely town bick-
erings were produced by high sala-
ries, and characters blackened in
and out of the press. If salaries
were reduced peace would reign in
this community. What pity that
such heavenly prospects should be
turned into hell of contention by
high salaries! (Laughter.) Aye,
the condition of things makes even
Satan laugh. (Renewed laughter. }
The President once served without
pay. A previous Legislature pro-
vided that a physician should be the
incumbent and be paid a salary.
Noble Widemann-To make a
place for Disadvantages, for three
of them.
Noble Horner-Never mind, I'm
stating facts.
Noble Widemann-I'm stating
facts too.
Noble Horner-The SOW that was
washed has returned to her wallow-
ing in the mire. Shall we return to
the extravaganza expenditures of the
past. l move that the item pass at
$4,000, and feel squirm of con-
science in promising to vote for that
amount. The President of the
Board of Health has very little to do
and plenty of time to do it.
Noble Widemann did not believe
hardly word uttered by the pre-
vious speaker, but strange to say he
arrived at the same conclusion. He
would vote for $4,000, as this man
was well settled and the question
Was reconsidered to give him more.
There was competent medical man
in the position, Woodworking ply
slcian-he referred to DIR. Trous-
seau-but that beautiful Reform re-
gime wanted place for hench-
man and put third-rate physician
in his place at high salary. He
was not aware of the terrible scram-
bling for office in Honolulu.
Noble Walbridge-You weren't
at that lunch at the Hotel yester-
day.
Noble Cornwell-I rise TO a point
of order, and would like to know
what is before the House. Is it
lunches at the Hotel or the the revo-
luton of 1897? (Laughter.)
Noble Widemann wanted to know
who had the floor. The hon. Noble
was spiteful because his bill was de.
feated yesterday, (Laughter,)
Minister Brown said he moved re
consideration SO that a small amount
should be added to repay the present
incumbent fr the amount drawn on
the previous scale OF $1,000 by his
predecessor, lie would move that
the Item pass AZ S6lpl20, Az tho
