ruled by King Macfarlane any more
than by Queen Liliuokalani. There
seemed to be some fatal bias, some |
deadly microbe bias in this House |
when the question of making Cabi-. !
net was concerned. When Noble |
Neumann was offered a Cabinet posi-
ton he forgot all sense of sclf-re-
spect, his position as legislator and
his duties to his colleagues and with
out even speaking 20 his own faction
he turned UP smiling one morning
as IA Minister No bee buzzed louder
in the hive then than Noble Macfar-
lane. Nothing would satisfy him
but the CORY scalp of his late com
panion, and he had it. Although
Mr.. Neumann was his friend, his
boon companion, his political asso-

National Reform Party had beon
making a draft mule of him and he
didn't propose to stand it and they

gentlemen, when you have rotten

weeks under hen to see if it will
hatch. No, gentlemen; the situa-

sue is clear cut. The question is
whether the Cabinet is to be select
ed in accordance with Constitutional
; principles or by irresponsible per
sons? If the principle was good
; when we signed that paper, it is
, good now. If it was worth fighting
for then, it is worth fighting for now.
If it was sound then, it is sound
, now. | do not propose to go back
on it, no matter who leaves it, and !
