opium smuggling and gambling, that
went on in 1890. That was the day of
miracles when bricks were made of
opium without straw; yet no one
charged the Cabinet with any COM
plIcity. There were committee reports
coming in on opium. II, after the
Attorney-General saw those reports,
he persisted in keeping the Marshal
in, then he would be in favor of dis
missing the Cabinet.
Noble Peterson said just before re-
cess the House had heard an hours
Grafton On representative government.
1t was grand Grafton, full Of glitter
ing generalities. 1t told enough to fill
a constitution, but contained very
little on the matter before US to-day.
The hon. gentleman said they had
taken stand for representative gov
eminent, and they intended to follow
it to the end. In 1880, when the Re-
form party was put out, did 1t insist
on the King sending for a leader of
the National Reform party. That was
the time when they should have taken
this stand. The hon. Noble had a
great deal to say about the rule of the
majority, etc. Majority of what? OF
the people. The most he had heard
of that was from three Mobiles. One of
them went to Hawaii to be elected by
his own plantation. Another be-
thought himself of his own homestead
and remembering his early piety and
goodness, thought they would give
him a chance. Another went to Maui
because he wanted to be elected as
he said, and was not running for fun.
What did the speech amount to? The
only thing in it IS the complaint that
two of the old Cabinet had come back,
and the Premier had not consulted
his colleagues in the House. The
speaker then read the resolution
presented to Her Majesty. He had
been called in accordance with that
resolution to form a Cabinet The
objection had been made that he was
not leading member Of the opposi-
ton. One Noble had said. Who's
Peterson? Who'd think of calling
him? The man was probably so filled
with consciousness of his own i'm
portance that the rest of the world
looked like pigmies to him. He had
been asked if he would confer with a
committee of the caucus, and he had
said he would do so. False statements
had been made about him.
Rep. Smith rose to point of order.
The hon. member was talking solely
about himself. No want of confidence
motion against him had been brought
in. sl-t.its 81
Noble Peterson said that he was ex-
planning the situation. The discus
sion in committee had been private,
yet column and half account Of 1t
appeared in the ADVERTISER which
contained, however, some suspicious
omissions. His last proposition had
been to give the Reform Party three
men, he insisting on but one, the
present Attorney-General. This Offer
was refused. The next morning he
renewed his offer. The answer was

ment shows that Her Majesty has
done everything she could. The ma.
jority which voted out the last Cab
met was drawn from three parties
why then should her choice of pre-.

one. (rhe speaker then read the reso
luton under consideration. The reso
luton alleges as reason why tn,

after u vote. The only other groun,
is as to the coming back of member

Smith and others if that was not so.
Rep. Smith said only OH certaiI

What were those conditions? Tha
you should go in?
Rep. Smith: MOI NV name wa

Noble Baldwin: Rep. Smiths state

Noble Young: The agreement t
take Mr.. Parker back was to ne,
Cabinet. This is not a new Cabinet
it is mended one. C
Noble Peterson: They admit th
