Noble w. Y. Horner said sometime
ago he had introduced resolution to in
troduce night sessions. He thought it
was time to begin them. He would,
therefore, move to take that resolution
from the table Carried.
The resolution was read.
that Sunday, from AN. to 8 PM, be in
serted.
Noble J. NJ. Horner said as the resolu-
ton seemed to be sound sense and the
amendment foolishness, he moved the
former pass.
Rep. Brown moved the night sessions
begin Wednesday.
Noble Won Tempsky moved it be Thurs
day.
Noble Marsden moved that Rule II be
suspended during night sessions.
Rep. Nawahi moved indefinite post
ponement. The night was made for the
imps OF darkness and their deeds. If we
work day and night, half the members
will be sick The House is getting along
very well. Only the planters want to 60
home. Let them take the first steamer
and go home The introducer of the re-
solution has not done much to expedite
business, except keeping quiet and not
introducing bills.
Noble Pua favored indefinite postpone
ment The town here is infested with
burglars. If we work here till 10 or IL,
We may meet them on the way home, or
some of these rich members may go
home and find their homes burglarized.
| The people of wealth want to go back
and tend to their private business. Why
didn't they think of that before they be-
came candidates?
| Noble Baldwin had opposed the reso-
| luton when it was originally introduced
| because there was much committee work
| to be done. Now there was much less
committee work, and he thought the
time had come for evening sessions. The
work was much facilitated by evening
sessions in 'SS, and it will be now.
Noble Widemann thought that on sec
ond thought the hon. Noble would come
to the conclusion that the principal work
| yet to be done was committee work. The
| important things were yet to be consid-
| ered-the Convention, the Constitutional
amendments and the election. He
doubted the good that evening sessions
| would do. The work was done by COM
| ing here and voting, not talking.
The resolution was indefinitely post
poned.
Noble Baldwin presented the minority
report of the Post Office Committee. The
minority agree with the recommends
tions to increase the pay of employees,
but they do not agree with the structures
| of the majority on the Postmaster Gen
eral. They find as result of their in
designations, that the Post Office has
been well conducted land that the charge
of ill-treatment of clerks is unfounded.
Noble Baldwin moved the report be
translated and printed. Carried.
The House proceeded to the Order OF
the Day, consideration of the Appropria-
ton Bill in Committee of the Whole,
Noble Marsden in the chair.
Noble Widemann called attention to a
certain report which the Secretary had
not been able to find, but which he was
ready with now.
Rep. Brown said the House was con-
sidering the item OF $l3, 63936 for the
Volcano road.
Noble Cornwell moved the item pass.
Noble Widemann said some two OF
three months ago claims were adver-
tised by the Cabinet, but these were not
sent in. Whom was this money to be
| paid to? Is the Cabinet to run around
the streets and hunt these people up ?
Their henchmen doubtless know who
they are. l move the item be indefinite
ly postponed.
Rep. Kapaehaole said this should be
carefully considered. The House had
condemned the Minister for borrowing
this money, by adopting the Finance Re-
port; but this did not apply to the peo-
| Pile who had advanced the money. The
money has been spent for the benefit OF
the country, and for that reason shall
vote for the item. He hoped members
would lay all quibbling aside and vote
for the appropriation.
Noble Widemann was much pleased
with the speech of the member from
Moiokai. He had tried to put good face
on the matter. But whom is it to be
paid to? The Ministers have advertised
