himself again, or if Noble Thurston
could dismisss from his mind the
sound of music and bells and the
dreams of the Exposition in Chicago
that they would both think better
of it and vote for the Cabinet al
though | hardly believe they will.

Noble Thurston said this was the
third funeral Grafton on himself he
had heard from the Noble. They
were always amusing, and were
quickly followed by his official death.
The Minister seemed disappointed
because the speaker and the member
for the Third Ward did not make
bear garden of the House. If he
had a principle which he believed to
be correct he supported it, whether
others did or not; and he did not
abandon it merely because someone
elected on different platform also
advocated it. Another G .rge hard
ly worth replying to was, that he,
had run away from Honolulu to
Maui to get elected. He had lived
on Maui longer than anywhere else,
and his property interests were there,
if he was not a representative of
Maui then he was not of anywhere.
The remarks of the Minister of
Finance were decidedly small pota
toes, to come from the the Premier.
He might go ahead and give his own
version of the story, if he thought it
worth while. 1t was said that there
we're no worse slave drivers than the
Yankees who went down South, no
worse dudes than the Anglo maniacs
in New York who turn their pants
up when it rains in London and al
ways sneeze when the Prince of
Wales had cold in his head and it
had been reserved for an American
to come down here and defend ILL
beral principles against the united
Englishmen of the House. The
honorable Attorney-General was a
day behind the fair. Had he been
talking in England in the eighteenth
century his remarks would have re-
presented the views of the then
Tories. Those tories were dust now.
The member then read from the
caucus resolution to show the prin-
ciple on which he was arguing.
Continuing, Noble Thurston said:
This resolution was signed by all
the members OF the Attorney Gen
erals own party except G. o. Berger.
This resolution was rejected by the
Attorney General, and he was doing
his best to down it, though it had
been accepted and acted on. A mile
stone had been put in our history
when that resolution was adopted
that we had joined against the
Queen and now the Premier at
tempts to take that place, and we
were trying to put in a second to-
day. The Premier himself acknowl-
edged the soundness of the principle
Minister Macfarlane asked that
the speaker read the reservation
which accompanied his signature.
Noble Thurston did so and said
What is the principle? The rule OF
the majority The majority of the
House. Yet he has signed it, and
has come in as a Minister, like &
thief in the night, telling no one in
the House. Was that to be en-.
dorsed? Was the House composed
of children or men? Hang wresteG
the power from the hand of one, are
we to give it to another?
Minister Macfarlane stated that
he had accepted simply the princi
pie that the Queen should summon
J one of the majority of the Opposi
