Rep. Ashford questioned the Min
lister of Finance relative to the
amount, date of issue and interest of
bonds issued in relief of the late
King Kalakaua, and also relative to
transfer of certain lands to the
Crown Lands Commissioner.
Rep. Kanealii desired to know
what had become of the resolution
introduced by him sometime since
and directed at Rep. Bush, relative
to his having obtained money from
the Assembly for service performed
Before any answer was made the
Order of the Day was moved and
Bill 65A came up for further con
sideration.
Noble Young offered an amend
ment to Rep. Smiths amendment
relative to the voice of women being
heard in the matter and to the effect
that the words 'women other than
Asiatics, not Hawaiian Subjects" be
inserted. Rep. Smith accepted the
amendment.
Rep. Bush offered an amendment
that this bill with others of like
nature be referred to committee
which should include the Minister
of Finance, that the Gothenburg
system be investigated, and that a
report on the whole matter be made
to the Legislature of 1894.
Keep. Kanealii opposed the bill.
He considered that it was the devils
measure and would only result in
injury to the health and morals of
the community.
Noble Horner believed that the
passage of the bill would be detri-
mental to the good of the commun-
| ity. He quoted at length from re-
marks of Chief Justice Lee and other
previous chief justices of the King
dom, on drunkenness. This was an
evil which, if it could not be cured,
they should not aid even if they had
to endure it. He was of the opinion
that dram shops were such an evil
and such curse that they ought to
be declared nuisances and not be
allowed to be established within two
miles of any human habitation. He
favored the amendment of Rep.
Bush to have the matter laid over
until 1894.
Noble Marsden favored the bill;
he was not disposed, like the last
speaker, to endure simply without
attempting to effect cure. His
eyes were open to the illicit traffic
going on and also to the poor quail
ity of liquor given out and he was
endeavoring by this bill to cure the
evil. He favored beer and light
wines as they had in Germany,
where very few people were seen
drunk. Noble Young had told him
that he had lately paid visit to the
German capital. There could be
seen whole families sitting in the
gardens and INDUCING in beer; only
one drunken man had been seen by
him there, and Noble Young had
said that he believed he was a
Scotchman. Uaughter.)
