The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1890-09-03


Noble MocIarlane IT, as mcDbec
OF firm having dealings with Fuw-
Ter 4 Co., he did not know that
$500 a mile would scarcely more
than pay for the rails. This remark
he made IN spirit of fai!ncs- and
based on his own purchases OF rail-
way material.
Noble Pua was in favor OF lle b.J.
but thought the $500 asked hv the
company was sufficient. lie could
not understand why the hon. mem
her from Molokai had moved for
5000 a mile more than the company
had asked.
Noble Cornwell had favored the
bill going to committee not fer the
purpose of killing the hill or of re-
ducing the subsidy. Since the guar
antee had been struck out he
thought 500 n mile was not too
much and he supported the bill as it
stood.
Rep. Brown SAID the rails would
cost $1,000 mile, and at the lowest
calculation it would cost $4,000
mile TO make the road.
Rep. Richard thought it mattered
not whether the road cost $4,000 or
$4,000 mile, but the question
was what the Government could at
ford to give it. lie was satisfied the
road would not pay its promoters,
but the Government could not af-
ford more than S250O mile. Sub
sidizing private enterprises meant
that the Government would have to
pledge its credit for loans, which
would have to be repaid by eXac-
tions from poor people getting little
benefit from such enterprises. He
was acting in the matter with the
same care as if it was his own money
that was being voted.
Rep. Paehaole spoke Of the rail-
way ties on the Eva branch being
of ohia wood from Hawaii, and
large proportion of the labor being
native Hawaiian, and said he was
not ashamed of his amendment in
creasing the subsidy, Two pIanta-
tons of an aggregate value of n mill
lion dollars had been started through
that railway.
Rep. White was in favor of the
amendment, repeating his remarks
of former occasion about the lands
being bought up ahead by the pro.
motors. Mr.. Dillingham; had en-.
ployed Chinese mainly on the road
but began employing natives IL
order TO make influence for this bill
When the bill passed he would re.
call his Chinese friends.
Time was called on the speaker
| Noble Macfarlane moved for re
cess, saying that if it did not carry
he wished to make some remarks
Lost.
Rep. White began to speak bu
was called to order. He claimed
the privilege of making his seconc
speech under the rules, and Nobl
Macfarlane, who had been notices
by the Chair, resigned the floor t
him. The speaker went on to So
that the railway would be fer th
! benefit of Mr.. Castle, who was no.
pulling wires in the lobby.
Noble Macfarlane would not kee
the House long. Recess might Ell
able the promoters TO make aDothe
raise, as they seemed to be gettin
new supporters rapidly. Th
speaker suggested something abou
, what might have been moved yes
terday.
Noble McCarthy-It would hay
been lost. There was n great mi:
, take about that vote.
President Walker-There was no
q counted the votes carefully, faiI
q ly, and impartially. l emphatica
ly deny that statement. / am in
better position than any other men
, Der of the House to make corret
count.
Noble Macfarlane referred to I'll
j. discrepancies in the estimates of tt
i cost of the road by different men
bers. He did not know the price {
rails and was not member of Il
i, firm of Geo. w. Macfarlane & c,
The company's exhibit filed in IL
Interior Office showed shortage {
$4,000, and its books should be e:
;, amined by committee. There WI
mysterious change in the temp
q of the House since yesterday, ar
h he said that members had bet
q brought under influences that we
o. not creditable to them.
