hearing, that | do not claim any
privileges of the House, that | am
responsible for what | am saying
and will be responsible to him when
ever he comes to me, fellow who
belongs to a benevolent society and
has not turned in the money that he
collected to them, that from him
also came some of those limitations
Now then | do not propose to leave
this matter without drawing the
mask down and off from such foul,
from such impure, from such cor
rupt sources; the complement has
been made full that ives a decent
party like the Reform Party suffi-
cient votes to dismiss this Cabinet,
and congratulate the Reform Party
and ask them to take that in and to
digest it if they can.
Mr.. President it has been striking
ly said by my friend, for still call
him SO, the Noble from Maui, Mr..
Thurston, that he would make a
coalition with the devil to get this
Cabinet out, and he has come as
near to it as he could when he found
those two coadjutors to entice native
members to vote with them, natives
who when they go back to their con-
stituents will have a blush on their
faces that will shame the woods on
fire for illumination.
Mr.. President, this Cabinet is not
necessary to the welfare of this
country; l could pick Cabinet from
any place, any village of five hundred
people in the Hawaiian Islands, l
could pick Cabinet from this House
that is fully as good, if not better
than the Cabinet that is in. l hope
that such Cabinet will come, but
be at least honest, as was suggested
by the Noble from Maui, and strike
out all the preambles and say that
you have no confidence in the Cabi-
net and you want it to go out but don't
hide behind any such mask as this that
is proposed to this House,to claim
that you have reasons for grounds
that any honest man can support.
If it lies in the dislike of this House,
if it lies in the actual and honest
conviction that this Cabinet cannot
pull this country throug Oh, say so
and do not hide behind barrier of
lies as you are trying to do now and
as were brought in by the Honora-
BILE member from Kona. The Hon
orable member from Maui, Mr.
Thurston, has said that this Cabinet
has been guilty of raising sham
cry of annexation; think that when
he reflects and when he looks back
and investigates that his sense of
Justice is such that he will have to
recall that. There has never been a
word of annexation or about annex
alton passed our lips except in reply
to what came from others, and
whenever as you know a fellow cries
stop thief and runs very fast and
runs at the head of the crowd, he is
usually the fellow that should be
locked up. Laughter.)
Mr.. President, it has been said by
certain members of this House that
no remarks from anyone, not even
from the eloquent lips of those who
have remained silent tonight would
change a vote pro or con. The rea-
sons that have been given to those
to the opposition were so cogent
and so ponderous that | do not
think any amount of talk could ever
get them back, | do not say to a
sense of duty, because whenever
there is member of this House who
from an honest conviction votes
against this or any Cloinet | shall
not feel my respect towards him
lessen even if | am one Of the men
that is voted out. 1t could not make
any difference, but | may say with
reference to the last reason that was
given, namely, the Marshal, who as
usual has been attacked here, that
the responsibility and the power of
his removal, that is by consent of
the Cabinet, lies in me, that is very
true, but, Mr.. President, while |
thank this House for all its courte-
sizes, and while | thank this House
for all it's friendship, while | hope
to preserve the aloha of the indivi-
dual members, allow me to tell you
that not ten such Houses as this will
make me commit an unjust act. l
would not condemn one man I'M
heard if you would shower all the
honors of ten Houses and ten Cabi-
nets upon me, you cannot bride me.
Unless / am convinced that it is my
duty beyoud a reasonable doubt
when man is accused of anything,
will not dismiss him without a
hearing.
The Opium Committees report
which was handed in by the honor
able member always forget the
name-I mean Mr.. Bush--is a mag
nifcent literary production. There
are excerpts there; there is a compil-
alton from encyclopedias, from news
papers and histories which even
have not read, and it comprises quite
number of pages, and at the end
there comes this most lame and i'm
potent clause that there are some
rumors that the Marshal has done
wrong. Upon any such trash as that
| cannot act must say that it was
very instructive as we'll, and learn
ed more about opium in that report
than | ever knew in my life, but
when it came to learning anything
against the Marshal from the accu-
sations contained in that report
find nothing but rumors. | do not
condemn any man upon rumors.
