clause, In which 1t is stated that the /
Cabinet have displayed conspicuous
hostility to the United States, is not |
correct. He had documents present
which could show the relations exis- !
ting, and if desired they would be
read by the Clerk of the House. He
did not consider the course proper,
but in the face of the untruthful
statements in the allegations the
House could have truthful informa-
tion if it desired. The Noble (Thurs-
tom stated that there were some in
sulting articles in the BULLETIN. The
Cabinet could not be held response
BILE for that. He owned some small
amount of stock in the paper, but
he did not control the utterances; in
fact he himself had been attacked in
its columns. His stock, moreover,
had been acquired three years ago,
before he went in the Ministry. He
was ready to have the consideration
of the resolution proceed at once.
AS far as he knew there was a cordial
feeling existing between the Amer
lean Minister and the Government.
Rep. Kaunamano said that if the
present resolution was based upon
the action of Minister Macfarlane
when Noble in the House then it
should be abandoned 1t had been
Minister had found fault on account
of the communications which APP
peared and rejecting upon the slow
ness of action in going to the rescue
of the shipwrecked crew of an Am
erican vessel, and the introduction
of resolution in the House of an
offer of assistance. If that is the
cause then the resolution should not
be acted on further than to table it.
The Hawaiian people have never
made any trouble. The history of
the country for the first half cen
fury shows that all our troubles
were made by foreigners. The pre-
sent Cabinet had obtained the conf
dence of the general public and of
business men. The member at 4:10
moved that a recess be taken until
1880 o'clock.
A controversy was entered into by
Reps. White, Ashford, r. w. Will
cox and Nawahi relative to recess
being taken, which ended by the
motion being lost, and Rep. White
took the floor.
Rep. White said that the resolu-
tion alleged three different grounds.
Every wise man waits until favor
able occasion before he presents a
policy Maybe the Cabinet were act
ing wisely in waiting. AS he under
stood it the Cabinet has many good
measures to lay before the House
and which will meet with the APP
proval of all good men in the As
sembly, except possibly those who
have their eyes on Ministerial seats.
1t is improper to find fault with the
Cabinet simply because they have
not yet presented financial policy.
He knew that in few days the
Cabinet intended to present policy,
If other members who oppose the
Cabinet were guided by sense of
right they would meet the Cabinet
halfway and offer some suggestions
or ideas relative to plans which they
deemed to be for the public good
The I'd clause states that the head
of the present Cabinet has displayed
hostility to the American represen
tative here The Constitution does
not provide for any head of the
Cabinet" The truth is that the one
meant is the Minister of Finance
and because he introduced resolu
ton when Noble in the House that
speech made by the American
Minister on Decoration Day be in
vestigated by committee. Thai
matter was then expunged from tn,
minutes of the Assembly and tC
bring that up now, as cause, seem
ed to him to be a very poor allega
ton. He hoped that those who haC
introduced the resolution and haC
been blinded by this clause woulc
have their eyes opened in time to vote
against the resolution or at least thai
clause. AS regards the third charge
relative to the Police Department
that simply means in its entirety
that the Marshal had not been re
moved. Now the House has not thu
power to order the removal of thu
Marshal. 1t has the power to inves
tigate and report to the Cabinet, bu
if they cannot produce and substah
tate charges the Attorney-Genera
cannot justly remove him. Thi
clause had evidently been put in t.
capture the Hon. Bipikane who
was we'll known had no friendly feel
ings towards the Marshal. Not yer
many months ago when there wa
talk of revolution and uprising VIII
stopped it? 1t was this Marshal
If he had not nipped the thing i
the bud many of our people woul
have lost their lives, there woul
have been bloodshed. The talk the
was of overthrowing the Queen an
establishing a republic. But tina
was not the real cause, annexation
was intended. There is now the al
tempt to reduce the police force AM
reduce the Queens Guard, so nue.
that they could not be any proteo
ton in time of trouble to resident
here. There was purpose in thi
SO that it could be said that Their

and property, and by their cries TO

waiian would go to the wall. Thi
