THE LEGISLATURE.
145TH DAY.
TUESDAY, Dec, 10, 1892.
Afternoon Session.

uS IOll was CdllSu On COuN6ullB
from recess at 1:30 o'clock but it was
lao o'clock before the consideration
of the bill introduced by Noble Hor-
ner, to authorize a national loan,
was continued.
Rep. Kamauoha and Rep. Iosepa
both opposed the Bill on the grounds
that there was nothing in that por-
ton of the country at present which
would warrant the negotiating of
loan for expenditure therein.
The Attorney General was also
opposed as was Noble Williams, the
latter mentioned stating that where
it would be looked upon as very
poor policy for private company to
undertake the building of road in
the district mentioned, it could not
be claimed to be any better for the
Government to undertake it. He
moved that the Bill be tabled.
An aye and nay vote was had on
the question of tabling, resulting in
the defeat of the motion by % to 19
as follows:
Ministers Wilcox, Robin
son, Jones and Brown; Mobiles Ber-
ger, Ena, Williams, Male, Kauhane,
Hind, Young, Walbridge and Dreier;
Reps. Kauhi, Kamauoha, Kapahu,
Kanealii and Iosepa-1S.

A. S. Wilcox-23.
Absent-Nobles Hopkins, Peter
son, Cornwell, Thurston and Kanoa;
Reps. Ashford, Aki and Koahou.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox favored the
bill passing. If the project of the
railroad was carried out then the
price of land in the Hamakua
district would be so increased that
there would be millions in it. He
believed if there were more men in
the country like Noble j. M. Horner
that we would be far better off than
we are to-day. He deplored the
jealousy of the business men of Ho-
nolulu and their lack of push and
energy.
Rep. Kamauoha again spoke at
considerable length and against the
bill; Rep. White following in a
strong and witty speech in favor
The latter speaker instanced the fer
tility of the Hamakua soil to be so
great that after the proposed rail
road was started and the banana
trees had opportunity to grow
they would become so prolific, the
sides of the rail-track would be lined
and the punches would drop into
the cars as they passed along. He
mentioned that this idea of increase
in prosperity was accepted by the
old fogies much the same as the
statement made by Columbus when
he said that the earth was round.
The business men of Honolulu were
much like the character depicted in
"Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress" who
was continually digging, digging,
after money and who could never
look higher than the dirt he was
working in.
Rep. Kaunamano favored the bill.
1t would, if carried out, supply work
for a great many people.
Rep. Smith, at 1852, moved the
previous question, which being
carried, the debate was closed by
Noble Horner, the introducer of the
bill, he saying in substance that his
measure was not intended for any
personal private benefit, but for the
good of the community.
