THE LEGISLATURE.
NINETY-THIRD DAY.
FRIDAY, Oct. 3.


Rep. Paehaole resamed his speech
on the bill for the relief of His Ma
jesty. The King was under very
heavy expenses, there was large
amount of entertaining of foreign
visitors, the burden of which was
borne by His Majesty. 1t was well
known that His Maiesty's health
was moi so good as i, used to he.
The country owed debt OF graft
tude to His Majesty for his going
personally To the United States to
negotiate the reciprocity treaty,
whereby the prosperity and the adj
vancement of the kingdom had been
greatly promoted. The crown lands
were not going to be tied up by the
bill. Only,a part of the revenue
from the lands was devoted to the
purpose. That matter could be
dealt with when the other sections
were reached. For the present the
first section should be passed.
Noble Cornwell held that the fact
of the whole committee having re-
ported in favor of the bill should
have weight with the House. The
bill was generous to the King, while
not burdensome to the country. 1t
provided q loan and not grant to
His Majesty. The crown lands in
come was only available for the pur-
pose during the Kings life. What
ever debts he might leave would he
charge on his estate, the income of
the crown lands reverting to his
successor. He would not deny that
His Majesty had been extravaganza.
They were all extravagant some
times. But His Majesty was also
generous. Many natives and for
| eigners were to-day enjoying the
fruits of his generosity. They ought
| to pass this bill if only to show the
friendly feelings entertained toward
His Majesty by this Legislature.
Rep. Nawahi did not like to say
much about the subject, owing 10
the position occupied by the person
involved. The House had voted
over 5000 to refund certain firms
money illegally advanced to the late
Minister of the Interior. 1t had
voted 5000, 900 to deepen the har-
Dor entrance without murmur.
He would not say the bill should be
indefinitely postponed, but thought
n preferable mode would have been
| for the Ministry to insert an item
in the Appropriation Bill. The bill
seemed to mortgage the Kings pro-
| perty outside of the fish ponds and
other private belongings of His Ma.
jesty already mortgagcd. If the
bill was to be passed let it be done
without further discussion. Lie
moved the previous question. Car
ried.
| Rep. Nawahl said he had moved
to insert the proposed amount in thu
Appropriation Bill.
| Minister Brown said that bill wa:
not before the House.
The first section passed.
| Noble Cornwcll moved verba

which passed and the section passet
as amended.
| Noble j. M. Horner moved to in
sert a provision for interest in TIL
third section.
Noble Cornwcll moved to pass a

They might as we'll do this properl
while about it.
Noble Parker moved that the sec
ton be struck out. Ii they wer
going to pay the Kings debts let
be done right. If anything hap
pened after this became law, tn
Government would pay nothing.
Noble Cornwell remarked tina
some members seemed to hay
caught q generous streak to-day
When he introduced q resolution t
grant SIG, 900 TO the King the othe
day, the whole House rose up j
arms against it. Now when th
King was satisfied with loan,
was proposed to make him a preser
of $4,000. lie did not think tn
House should give the King thi
present.
Rep. Bush admired the consist
ency of members of the House
They voted against his measure tbs
would have provided honorabl
means for the discharge of tn
Kings debts. Now they propose t
make him present of the money
He could not see why they shout
/ pay these debts. When the Kin
goes to work and squanders tn
money wilfully why should tn
country have to pay for it. Iii
constituents instructed him to yot
for economy in the House. Thos
to whom the King was in debt woul
get their money, and that was abol
all there was 10 this bill. Whe
they talked about tins matter Il
them consider how some of this del
was contracted, There were plcnt
of people in this kingdom who ha
helped TO put His Majesty int
debt.
Noble j. NJ. IIorncr's idea was
favor OF the bill. He understoo
that the King was in immediate nee
