room, to the Board of Health he
kept it in his possession.
This was so terrible wrong, that
is abstractly, | made up my mind to
haul the Marshal over the Goals I'M
til learned that the President of
the Board of Health had asked him to
keep it: you are responsible for
that. | have no place to keep it,
and you keep it until | call for it,"
| say with all due Difference to
this House do not propose to do
anything of the sort, proposed to
this House to allow me to bring the
matter before it, to bring it before the
committee so that could perhaps
bring some light from some other
sources and allow them then to
judge and instruct me or rather
guide me in what was to do. That
was refused just exactly as this po-
Icy Qetters with regard to attitude
towards the United States) of the
Minister of Finance was refused to
be brought before this House.
Now, then, | will say to those
gentlemen who are going to vote in
favor of this resolution that while |
have no feeling of enmity, that /
cannot admire their feelings of fair
ness or sense of justice; they can
exercise their sweet pleasure on me
because, as | have declared, | care
nothing for it.
Noble Thurston had not proposed
to say any more, but as the Attorney
General said that 100000 had gone
astray during his administration, al
though he had admitted that he was
honest, but stated that the money
was simply lost, it could not be found.
He charged also that bonds could
not be sold (the speaker then quoted
from the Minister of Finance of
1890; bonds had to be sold in Eng
land at a heavy cost to this country.
AS to his statement of the 100000,
| here give the amounts spent taken
from the Minister of Finance report
of 1890, page 33 and three pages
thereafter, places where the money
was spent. The member then read
some of the larger items. When the
Acknowledgement says that it dis
appeared, it is not true, the Minister
should withdraw the statement or
admit that he has falsified the re-
cord.
Minister Neumann said that he
had said the money was wasted. He
had not accused Mr.. Thurston or
any officer of his administration,
there are some monuments to-day
that represent that 100000. There
is the water pipe over at Waikiki
that has been rusting for years.
Noble Thurston-It is down here.
Minister Neumann-Wherever it
is, it rusts. There is this nightmare
of new market that has cost untold
( money-,I10O0 it has cost so far,
being $4,000 more than the original
estimate and appropriation of S25,-
600, and it will cost $4,000 more to
complete it. There has been S125,OOO
for an electric light plant, the latter
[ doubt if Cecil Brown would
now take as gift. Does he blame
me for my feeling? l only know
that when this Cabinet went in they
had legacy of 100000 in debts
He desired to make a little post
script to his speech as the ladies do.
Members had spoken of his stub
bornness in pressing the Registration
Bill; he had advanced it for the best
interests of the country. He was
not planter, yet he would say that
this is for the benefit of those gen
tlemen. But when the member from
Kohala mentioned his objection not
a single one of the gentlemen whose
interests he had advocated had the
business or fairness or manliness to
get up and say one word in defence
of that bill although he was loaded
with the odium of supporting it.
Rep. Kamauoha said it had been
limited that, because some members
went to luau, it was indicative
of an inducement to change votes.
Now / would like to know what
luaus and little dinners at the Hotel
were given for before the passage of
the previous resolution. | opposed
! the bill introduced by the Judiciary
Committee, it looked suspicious to
have the Attorney General present
that bill as Government measure.
The Registration Bill is not favora-
BILE to the native Hawaiians and any
man that will urge the passage of
that Bill has not the interests of the
country at heart.
Rep. Waipuilani said that the At
torney-General had stated that GER
tain members who would vote for
this resolution had been expelled
from the Assembly in 1888 and that
maybe certain reasons existed for
their action now. He implied that
the members had been bribed.
Minister Neumann-"I did not say
that, but if the member thinks he is
guilty / cannot help it,"
