Minister Neumann desired To sk if
anyone wanted To speak; If not, he
wanted 10 close for the prosecution
and, like the others, saw some I'M
pleasant things and apologize after
wards. He was man OF peace and
did not like fighting. He hoped the
result would be general amitv. and
thaS Noble MarSdeu would forgive
them for having been in even three
days. He must dispute the PROPOSE
ton OF Noble Thurston in toto. \
certain faction of this House, which
could not maintain the position which
It arrogated 10 itself, did violate the
Constitution in the grossest way. The
reason he said this was because the
Constitution divided the Government
into three branches, 10 be kept dis
unct. 1t did not authorize the Legis-
lature TO name the Cabinet. If the
Constitution needed amending In that
particular, why had Mr.. Thurston not
brought forward some such amend
ment: The main purpose in forming
The constitution was to clear this
Legislature from the influence of bril-
berry, not with money, hut with the
promise of situations. Mr.. Thurston
had told them how the Legislature of
1856 was full of office-holders. They
had swept it away in order TO keep
he-branches of government distinct
in fact as well as in name. If that
was correct, the sole right of the
House was to pass on the Cabinet
after it was appointed, not TO nomin-
ate one in secret caucus. If this prin-
ciple was carried out the Supreme
Court would have to be abolished, and
each member would settle the Quarrels
of his district. The Legislature would
be supreme. The honorable Noble
from Maui (AIr. Thurston) had thrown
down the gauntlet, on the Constitu
ton. He detied the member 10 show
anything in the Constitution which
| required Premier to submit his NOM
inatlons TO a caucus. The speaker
| found it very odd that Minister Parker
| should be accepted and he rejected,
since he confessedly had done nothing.
| He could not attribute it to personal
enmity, though he hoped he had enc
mics. He was piOus man and said
his prayers every morning and he al
ways prayed for his enemies. They
keep man fresh. There was nothing
unconstitutional in sending a whole
Cabinet back. The House could reject
them. He was willing to GO out, and
let the member from the third dis
trict come in as Acknowledgement.
The Marshal would be under his
thumb and he would enjoy it. 1t was
the opposition which was in the
wrong and fighting against principle.
He was guileless in caucus matters
and had learned a great deal. He had
but few words more TO say. He adj
mired the attitude OF the Noble from
Maui. He was energetic and honest
and intelligent, but his intelligence
was clOuded by speculations in Chi
cago, etc. He was a stalwart defender
of republics, and that he had perfect
right to be- The speaker believed il
republics also, but when he came
here he accepted the institution:
of this country, and he die

revolutionary themes. 1t was Il mis-

the First District to say that the an
