port of the committee be adopted.

Department, submitted by the same
committee as in the foregoing case.
Passed to he read o third time to-

Second reading of bill to re-estab-
lish Governors. Considered with
report of majority of committee re.
commencing passage, and that Of
minority recommending indefinite
postponement of the bill.
Noble j. NJ. Horner moved that
the report of the minority be adopt
ed.
Rep. Brown seconded the motion.
He opposed the abolition of Govern
ors might and main at every stage
last session. Since then affairs have
been conducted very well without
Governors. No appropriations have
been made for Governors salaries,
nor any changes of laws TO cores
pond with the establishment of
the office. The bill would therefore
bring the Governors into conflict
with existing laws and with the At
torney-G General.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox moved the
adoption of the majority report, and
that the ayes and noes be called.
The objections of the hon. member
from the first district were only such
as any lawyer could produce. Some
Official was needed on the other
islands to represent the King and
the Government. Salary was not an
important consideration.
Rep. Paehaole supported the bill.
The provisions in force in place Of
the Governor system had increased
instead of diminishing the expenses
of Government.
Rep. Waipuilani, as chairman OF
the committee, said that after look
ing at all phases of the question
they concluded that the restoration
of the office was advisable. There
was nobody except the Sheriffs or
the other islands to receive distin'
guished visitors. Sheriffs and DO.
licemen in other countries were look
ed down on, as men with blood
on their hands, who were not invited
to state banquets or other enter
tainments.

ing division:

Rep. Brown said it would be ute
folly to pass the bill in its presen
shape, and he would move it be re
ferred to select committee.
Rep. Rosa seconded the motion
The demand for the measure nigh
be absurd, but it was a national cry
When the native members had sup
ported important measures of bot
parties, the House ought to Civ
heed to their reasons in this matter
1t was a fact that persons of roya
blood declined to be received b
Sheriffs.
The motion carried.
