o'clock for prayer, after which the
minutes of previous meeting were
read and approved.
Rep. Waipuilani moved the follow
ing resolution of
WANT OF CONFIDENCE.
1VheredS,-The present Cabinet has
not announced or given any intima-
tion or evidence of any financial
policy which will extricate the coun-
try from its present dangerous fnan-
cial situations; and,
Whereas,-lt is essential to the
commercial progress of the country
that more favorable treaty relations
with the United States be obtained
whereby our products can obtain a
free market in that country; and,
IFhereos,-The present Cabinet has
shown no disposition to favor any
such policy, and the present head of
the Cabinet has displayed conspicu-
Gus hostility toward the representa-
tive of that country in this kingdom,
and the general tone of the admins
tration has been and is one of oppo-
sition and hostility to the United
States of America, and American in
terests, thereby rendering it impro-
bable that any changes in our treaty
relations favorable to Hawaii can be
negotiated by this Cabinet, and,
Whereas, The Cabinet has given
no evidence of any intention to at
tempt to remedy existing scandals
in the Police Department, and have
otherwise failed to evince any ability
to successfully guide the nation
through the difficulties and dangers
surrounding it;
Therefore be it Resolved That the
Legislature hereby expresses its want
of confidence in the present Cabinet.
Rep. Waipuilani, in moving the
resolution, offered his reasons for
the action. He had voted against
the former resolution, because the
Cabinet was new and ought to have
an opportunity to show what it
could do. The Cabinet had now
been in Office several weeks, but as
yet it had presented no policy. The
House was tired of waiting. One of
the greatest desires of the Legisla-
ture and country was to procure
closer relations with the United
States. The head of the Cabinet
had placed himself in antagonism to
the representative of the United
States. The BULLETIN had published
direct attacks on the American Min
lister, and, although it was generally
believed that the BULLETIN was con
trolled by the Cabinet, the Ministers
had Innn hinTr 4, a,
LET1N in that course. How could
we hope for improved relations with
the United States if such an irritating
policy was persisted in? Last of all
and maybe not the least reason for the
introduction of this resolution is the
lack of action by the Cabinet rela-
tive to matters connected with the
scandals connected with the Police
Department. Committee reports
have been presented but no action
taken. The Attorney General means
by his late motion to either insult
the committees which have spent
time and had trouble in investigat-
ing the matters, or the other inten-
ton may be that by reference to a
special committee the matter would
not be reported on until the end of
the session and thus stave off inves-
tigation. The complaint relative
to the great army of clerks which
were employed at the Police Station
has been passed by unnoticed. The
gambling games of che ia and paka
pic can be seen even now in opera
ton in Maunakea street and with
police mingling with the players.
The scandals connected with the
seizure and sale of opium are we'll
known. The Attorney General could
clean out the Department and reno
vate it. Those were some of the
members reasons for presenting the
resolution.
Rep. Kapahu moved that the reso-
luton be tabled and made the spe-
cial order of the day for next Thurs
day. His reason was because he did
not believe that the members were
prepared to discuss the matter now
1t was only in accord with simple
business and fairness that this mo,
ton should pass. The adoption OF
a resolution of this kind was nc
small matter.
! itCP' huuill lIle IeSO-
, luton be discussed to-day. Con
{ tinuing he said that this is the sec
r ond resolution of this kind brough,
; in; the Cabinet should have beer
, prepared, as the air has been full o.
, rumors for the past two weeks.
> Rep. Kapahu questioned the mem
Z. Der as to whether the subject mat
ter of the resolution was the same a,
J., that which had been previously pre-
r sented.
| Rep. Kauhi said there was a grea
3 similarity; the resolutions were o
the same family, and the burden o
their songs was the same, viz: tina
the House had no confidence in tn,
Cabinet. The last resolution wa
q carried by vote of "A to Fl, but

y seats.

q tie difference to him when the reso
v luton was discussed. The House
