sOnfident that Mr.. Poe was we'll
lifted for his calling, although his
cation had been limited to six
Tths in an A, B, G course in

KEIKI expressed great indig-
n at the resolution. 1t was worse

to the Government committing

gentleman on the floor.
nc. ACHI said-Mr. President and
lemen: I am the introducer of
resolution. [ have lived many
in this kingdom under kings
,abinets. Many of you can re-
S your experiences of monarchial
rnment under the rulings of the
ehamehas, Lunalilo and our
beloved Kalakaua, the one above
no had done so much to promote
Tealth of this kingdom. AS l look
during those reigns, men were
inted to positions of trust not be-
of merit, but because of favOrit-
relationship, sycophancy and
proximity to royal favor. That
lpt system had done much to kill
:: ton in the hearts of the people.
e was no inducement to the peo-
educate their children in higher
ches so as to be capable of hold
responsible positions. Civil SER
reform will do away with such
& lpt practices. [ shall then be en-
pged to educate my children, and
)ssible, send them abroad to re-
higher education. Education
man and makes him more
fled. If we look to the history
nerica, we find that because of
ion of civil officers, the poor have
induced to educate their chill
and some of them have been
inted to high offices. Abra-
Lincoln rowed q boat for
living, but his ambition
d him to the highest position
mmOner could rise. He became
ldent of the United States. l
1 relate to you all night similar
AIces. Therefore I greatly favor
reform. Applause L want
Marshal of the Kingdom to be

for US to ponder. The Police and
rict Judges ought to be elected.

control of the plantations, and
