report from the Judiciary Committee,
to whom was referred Bill 70, amend |
ing Articles 60 and IS of the Constitu- /
ton. The committee have considered /
the same, and cannot concur in the |
recommendations Of the majority Of !
the committee. The change proposed |
by the amendment is TO alter the !
word liking" where it is used Ia the
enacting clause OF laws so that it shall
read " Sovereign" Having signed
Il report to the House az to the mean
ing Of this article, the minority COM
mittee consider that it would be
wholly unnecessary to make the
change proposed; they believed that
the Constitution should not be tinker
ed with or changed unless it was abso-
lutely necessary. They recommended
that the proposed amendment be indie
finiteIy postponed. Signed by w. O.
Smith and a. L. Peterson.
Laid on the table to be considered
with the majority report and consti-
tutiOnal amendments bill two weeks
hence august 4th).
At 1913 A. NJ. Rep. Ashford again
moved and carried the
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox moved that his
"want-ot-contidence resolution be
considered in Committee of the
Whole as it was an important resOlu-
ton, and also that all would have
full opportunity to express their views
on the matter. He was aware that it
was the determination of some men,
bers to summarily dispose of it, be-
cause it was introduced by 6 native
Hawaiian. He claimed that it was
right and proper that n Hawaiian
should introduce such Il resolution.
He was sorry to bring up the race
color prejudice, but as he had seen in
the p. G. ADVERTISER of that morn
ing that the reason why the rcsolu
ton should be disposed of was on ac-
count of the nationality of the intro
ducer. He held that if the Queen
were to appoint Cabinet exclusively
of native HaWaiians, Her Majesty
would receive the support Of all resOn-
able members of the House. Some
Of the MOBILES have a false idea that
whatever they should do the Hawai-
ian members must necessarily follow
and be led by the nose. He had been
told that Noble Baldwin had been
selected in their caucus meetings to
bring in q motion this morning to lay
the resolution on the table. Is this
the duty Of descendants of the mis-
siOnaries to come before this House
and try to choke off the native men,
bers in this way? If the House, by
their vote, wish to support the
Ministry, we'll and good then let the
business go on. But to believe that
the resolution should be laid on the
table because it was brought in by q
Hawaiian, that is simply ridiculous !;
that is one of the chief reasons of the
present stagnatiOn of affairs, because
of the color-line prejudice. Some of
the auneXationists are in this House,
and they are aspiring to become
Cabinet officers in order to facilitate
the anneXing of Hawaii to the United
States. l have been educated abroad,
and / shall never allow myself TO be
trod under by anyone. They have held
their secret caucus meetings and have
arrived at this conclusion, which we
shall learn to-day.
The President objected to the Ian
guage of Rep. r.. w. Wilcox.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox replied that he
was compelled to do so because of the
attitude of certain Mobiles who were
doing transactions contrary to ETH
quette known in Europe. He was OF
tho oDinion that the American Senate
would not permit to the anneXing OF
Hawaii without the consent of the
aborigines, we HaWaiians we dc
not want Mobiles educated abroad tC
come here and attempt this highway
robbery on the Hawaiian members
Was that n part of their education
abroad? We have considered tho
question for one week, and how mucl
lonrer shall we wait? Shall we wait
one wear more? Have not the Min
istry sufficient time to consider 1T
If so. then | shall be willing to give
nv consent, because the present Cab
met. bad as they are, would be inlin
itelv better than the proposed Cablne
of anneXatiOnists.
Rem. Bush said that the question
was of such vital Importance that
concerned the natives, the foreigners
merchants, and all dwelling within
the borders of Hawaii. He went Oh
discussing its merits when
The President SAID that the merits
If the case could not be discussed
as the motion was to lay the matte
i'm Committee of the Whole.
Ron Bush claimed that he had ;
right To advance such statements anC
continuing he said that he dld no
believe what the p. c. ADVERTISER
stated that the resolution was IN
tonded as q retaliation by Rep. K. W
TV;Icox to get even with the admin
;stration for causing his recent arrest
He firmly believed that Rep. K: W
Wilcox had no such motives. Iht
sneaker proclaimed that some mem
hrs of the House were trying to pusl
nd drive the Hawaiians to the wall
anoonsa q Hawaiian introduced the
TasoIution. He YVES opposed to rae
oTeiudice. but he was aware tina
there were members In the Houst
Who were making false confessions o
thoir love for the Hawaiians anC
everything Hawaiian. Their works
10 not show it. If that is the DISPOSE
zion of the members, then Mr.. Presl
dent. it is high time for us to have
new constitution, so as to have NOR
n0nitable instrument. He was sorry
to find that 81 small insignificant fac
tion of the House should ever harp OF
race preiudice line, notwithstanding
their deuials. He was aware iron
their attitude that there was some
HING deepe. than what could be see
on the surface. a.,
Nahle Young asked: Is it so tina
