time. He proposed TO pursue the best
interests of the native people. Ii he
did not, let them bring the resolution
of want of confidence. The reason
that the natives had not got their de-
sires was because they had not had
Hawaiian in the Cabinet who bad
their interests at heart. Now at last
they had their chance to get what
they wanted. He asked the House to
give the Cabinet an opportunity TO
show what il could do. 1t was true
that the House could vote the Cabinet
out, but it might get one which 1t
liked still less than this. He was
aware when he took the oath that
this resolution would be brought. You
may have made up your minds last
night in caucus 70 vote against the
Cabinet, but you did not know then
that there would be a native Hawai-
ian in the Cabinet. The Reform party
is represented by the Premier-W. II.

self Liberal?
Minister Nawahi said three names
had been suggested to Her Majesty by
the caucus and the Liberals had been
completely ignored. 1t was matter
of discretion with Her Majesty to
form the Cabinet as the majority
wished, or not. The Constitution was
got up by the Reform Party, but they
were not satisfied with it; they
wanted more. That was a charac-
teristic of the party. They were do
ing the very thing which they have
complained of Kalakaua for doing
viz, turning out cabinets all the time.
The Constitution did not provide
what they claimed. No reason could
be given for voting the Cabinet out.
In 1890 the Cabinet was voted out be-
cause it quarrelled. No such reason
existed in this case. When the mem
bers went home, they would be asked
why they had removed this Cabinet :?
AS to the late Cabinet, that was diff
ferent. That Cabinet had made pro-
misses which it had not fulfilled. The
late Cabinet had declared no policy.
If this Cabinet were given forty eight
hours, it would announce great
many measures which were popular
with the members. The question
might arise, where was the Cabinet
to get funds That matter, he could
assure the House, was already pro-
vided for. He appealed to the native
Hawaiians-men of the same color as
himself-to support a Cabinet with a
native in it. The foreign countries
wished native in the Foreign office,
then they could be sure that they
were getting at the sentiments OF the
native people. Important questions
would arise relating to Pearl Harbor,
etc, and it was very important to
have q Hawaiian in the Foreign office
to watch those matters. He therefore
asked the House to give the Cabinet
chance to show what they could do.
Rep. White moved q recess till 1880.
Lost.
Rep. Waipuilani said it was a pain
full matter to him to advocate the
adoption of the resolution, but he felt
compelled to do so. His opposition to
this Cabinet was based on the Minis
ter of the Interior. He had been voted
out of office, yet he came back. The
reasons for the original vote existed
still. He had asked to be excused
from voting against the Parker Min
istry. When the second resolution
came he opposed it, wishing to give
the Cabinet time, but they had done
nothing. But now, when it came to
sending back a part of the old Cabinet
that was too much for him. He had
been asked by the little Noble Corn
welD whether he would support a
| Cabinet containing some members of
the old, and he said no. He was sorry
| to vote against the Minister of Foreign
Affairs; but he could not return to
what had nauseated him before.
Rep. White moved the indefinite
postponement of the resolution. He
did not propose to give his name. He
wanted the question settled.
