THE LEGISLATURE.
SEVENTEENTH DAY.
FRIDAY, June 10.
EVENING SESSION.

They Ought to have II new Ministry,
ne did not care from which eide it
came. Tie Ministry ought 10 20
out that night.
Noble Baldwin said the question
transrendeG Oua of persons. 1t was
whether one man could block the
whole business Of the country. They
had taken an oath 10 do what was
right regardless Of all other eonsi-
derallons, and should strip this
question Of every issue but that OF
light or wrong. Neither Of the re-
solutions charged any wrOng.doing
against the Ministers, but each was
based on the disscnsion in the Cab
met. The Acknowledgement had
advised the Kiug against the advice
OF his three colleagues IN the treaty
matter and that of the commission
OF Major Il.bbard as Colonel. Ills
Majesty declined therefore to act
because they were not unit. His
Majesty had taken the Srcnnd that
he could not act unless the Cabinet
was unit, Notwithstanding the ad-
vice Of the Supreme Court that the
majority ruled. That was the oues.
ton before them that night. If
they d, cided that His Majesty was
right they would be establishing q
dangerous precedent. What ii six
months from now one Minister
should take the spin, of opposition?
He could block The entire work of
the Cabinet. lie did not under
stand that the wording of Article Al
limited vote of want Of confidence
to the whole Cabinet, as some took
il from the Article beginning with
the words, The Cabinet" BY net
ing on the idea that one Minister
can be attacked they would be esta-
blishing no new precedent, IS The
| practice in both the United States
and England was that hostile or
intrdctab!t member OF The Cabinet
could be turned out. IL would not
enter into the questions of the right
or wrong doings of the Ministry.
Those were matters IN the hands OF
committees for Investigation and it
was not right for the House 10 pre-
judge them.
Noble Mccarthy said he was sent
there by his constituents to do what
he thought right. lie thought it
was competent Tor the House 10 pas;
a vote OF want OF confidence in one
Minister. There was, however, a
motion Of want Of confidence in al
four Ministers before the House
aud lie thought the showing they
made deserved the denial of conf.
dence To them. The people of thi;
country hal voted want of conf
dence in the Ministry by large
majority. It was true that the Ma
,ional Reform Party did not have I
majority in The House, but neilhe
had the Reform Party u majority
The Independent members elected
from Hawaii were returned by Ma
liouul Reform votes. The previou
speaker said this subject should b
approached without partisanship
Was it other than partisan for mem
brrs TO agree in caucus last night
and sign their names to- a paper
that they would condemn the A,tor
ney-General on condition that TIL
other members Of the Cabinet woul,
resign next day! II was denied tia
the Objectionable clauses were pu
in the treaty by either Mr.. Carter
or the Ministry, or the America
Government. Well, how did the
get there? { Laughter and applause.
, An hon. member said the other da
that this was only a dirty Cabine
row. Now the same member come
forward with Il resolution that help
, ON the row. They had lot c
washing of dirty linen before tn
House, and it was started by til
Minister of the Interior. As he ha
been told outside, The Opposite
had not 10 rake up any materi;

They were all wrong and ought a
to go together.
