HOUSE NOTES.

To Judge from letter in yestei :
days ADVERTISER the House ought
to have congratulated Noble Thurs
ton upon his safe return from his
constituents at Spreckelsville.
Some of the members acquainted
with this plantation were surprised
to see a medical certificate printed
testifying to the gentleness and
other good qualities of all the gem
tlemen of different nationalities
employed there, as the Attorney
Generals report shows that the
Sheriff of Maui has considered it a
necessity within the last two years
to place two police officers on duty
at this plantation, precaution
never taken in the times when the
coughs ruled in the camps. But
of course the sheriff must be
wrong"
The Noble from Haleakala made
his debut yesterday by attempting
to slaughter Rep. Koahou's pet
lamb, the little bill providing for
a few more judges in Hilo. The
Noble failed, and the honorable
member with the small body but
big mouth was triumphant.
Noble Paul sang "NIy hair is
white but my heart is green" when
he refused to entertain a petition
praying that no Hawaiian women
be allowed to marry foreigners.
We never know what can happen,
said the Noble from Niu, where
after he considered it the wisest
course to ask for leave of absence
and go to Kauai, or Johnson island
or some other place away from
home.
"Holy Ned" got on his hobby
horse yesterday and rode him all
over the country, starting on in
crease of duty on certain articles
and ending up between the lomi-
lomi girls of the Industrial School.
Ned wants the girls to make clothes
for Cinnamon instead of lomi-lomi,
etc. The subject was properly re-
ferred to the Military Committee.
The five members of the Ways
and Means Committee evidently
regretted that they could only vote
yes or no on their own bill in re-
gard to duties. If they had had
the chance they would have voted
all against each other and against
their own recommendations, as
most of them did. The financial
Noble Macfarlane, tried to call
their attention to this fact, and
thereby nearly succeeded in having
Noble Marsden burst his boiler
through indignation.
Noble Paul railroaded bill
through the House yesterday
Some of the native members said
that it was always suspicious when
there was an attempt to railroad
bills, but when it was the hon
Paul who made such attempt, then
the suspicious became facts and
they must oppose the bill as 9
matter of principle.
The bill was very innocent and
was introduced by Paul on behal
of the Government. His first off
cial act
The naturalization Of Chinese
was not very brisk yesterday. Tbs
boys have found out that there is ;
half Chinese lawyer down towr
/ who has had the best of the game
and put them off with small com
mission.
Oily Bill stayed home yester
day. He will have his throa
ready when his gambling licens
bill comes up.
The House will not miss Noble
Kanoa and Wilcox very much, a
they work on the "silent commit
tee," but how business can go Of
during the absence of Noble Nj
and Rep. Koloa is serious ques
ton.
That living talking machine
Luther Wilcox, is also off for va
cation. Taking everything int
consideration perhaps the Hous
is better off without an interprete
The vote of want of confidenc
has been postponed till further NJ
tice.
The Military Committee was har
at work yesterday afternoon. tt
hackmen had better look out nov
Noble Berger started training h
, voice yesterday for his grand vau
speech. He read report on Il
expenses of the House.
The Representative from Kol'
tried to stop the Minister of Fl
ance from his cherished occupatir
J of making paper money by askil
some pertinent questions. 7
answer will be given to day.
