not join hands with the Attorney
General and compel action on the
charges presented in that report7
Another thing which has shaken my
confidence in the Cabinet, and espe-
cially in the Attorney General, is
the introduction of the Registration
Bill which is most obnoxious to
native Hawaiians. Another reason
for lack of confidence in the At
torney- General was the introduction
by him of another obnoxious bill,
viz, that relative to validating mort
cages of property by the Oahu
Railway Company. 1t is also neces-
sary to enter into more favorable
treaty relations with the United
States, but the present Cabinet has
not made any effort to effect such.
The country in its present situation
cannot afford to evince a hostile
spirit to the United States. We
should show the United States that
we are not hostile in any way. The
Cabinet, instead of endeavoring to
show signs of any policy, are only
procrastinating. They have not
shown any sign of introducing or
preparing a financial policy of any
kind.
Rep. Kanealii said that he agreed
with the first and last propositions
in the resolution; but that relating
to the relation existing between the
Minister of Finance and the Ameri-
can Minister should be struck out.
He considered that there was
enough in the first two clauses of
the resolution to GUST the Cabinet.
He favored consideration of the re-
solution to-day. The House seemed
to want the flesh of the Cabinet,
then another could be appointed
and also killed; and they could go
on from day to day appointing and
discharging for year to come.
Noble Hoapili paused for reply
from the Cabinet relative to whether
any time was desired by them to
answer the resolution.
Minister Neumann said that it had
been stated that the Cabinet were
aware of the introduction of this
resolution. That was not true. He
had no knowledge of it; he, however,
had hoped that it would come some
time. There were certain matters
stated in this last resolution which
reflected upon the members of the
Cabinet in their different PERSONAL
ties, and for himself, if given the
opportunity, he would answer in I'M
mistakable language. If the House
felt disposed to wait until to-mor-
row he would be gratitied, but he
did not wish any delay on his per-
sonal account because he would be
| pleased to resign now or be removed
now, it made no material difference
with him. He would like when the
proper time came to answer the
member from Kohala (Kamauoha)
and show where certain mistakes
planted in that brain found vent
through the tongue. He proposed
to stand by the Registration and
Oahu Railway Co. bills, even if that
declaration cause his removal. None
were so blind as those who would
not see, nor none so deaf as those
who would not hear. As he had
said before if the House felt dispos-
ed to grant until tomorrow for the
consideration of the resolution he
would be grateful, if not he would
be satisfied to have the business go
right on.
Noble Hoapili supported the reso-
luton more particularly on the last
proposition where the Cabinet is
censured for lack of action relative
to the Police Department. He then
related the incidents of disturb,
ance at luau some few Sundays age
and the lack of police assistance
The Marshal was responsible and il
the Attorney General could not re-
move him then he had better steI
down and out. Have heard it said
that the desire had been to evict
this Cabinet in favor of another
more favorable to annexation. II
he believed that was the case then
he would be willing to have this
Cabinet retained with all the scand.
ais attached. He represented people
of Hawaii and his Instructions were
to oppose all efforts of annexation
and he would now say, as an Hawai-
ian, and representing Hawaiians that
he was opposed to any efforts in that
line. He was willing that certain
steps toward closer treaty relations
should be taken, but no annexation

known, could defend himself at
