THE LEGISLATURE.
S1XTY-FIRST DAY.
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 10,
Afternoon Session.
SIXTY FIRST DAY.
Afternoon Session

The Committee re-convened at
lao and the consideration of the
Appropriation Bill was continued,
Rep. Kaunamano, Cthe idol of the
Advertiser), in the chair.
A deferred item, relative to pay of
interpreters, was brought forward.
A report from the Judiciary Com
mittee on the item was read by Clerk
Mccarthy, favoring the passage of
the item as, Hawaiian interpreter
and translator, $1,000,
Rep. Robert Wilcox favored the
item to read as previously passed,
last session, where the office was
given to more than one. He thought
that the Interpreters, at least, were
necessary. He had personal know
ledge of the necessity that very
often existed for two Interpreters.
Noble Pua favored the division of
the item, interpreter in chief $1,000,
other Interpreters $1,000, the whole
$500.
Rep. Ashford considered that
those who aspired to the position of
interpreter should educate them
selves and not occupy the place,
officially, at salary to learn the
business. He was cognizant of
number of instances where gentle
men by their own efforts had at
tanned the ability necessary to be
regarded as good Interpreters. The
House had an instance before them
wherein the present interpreter
(Testa) had by his own personal
efforts arrived at the point of cap
ability and was now acquitting him
self very creditably. He favored a
a separate item for Interpreters and
at $4,000 Mr.. Willie Sheldon had
been a capable interpreter, and he
was in favor of assisting young Ha
waiians to represent themselves and
their country creditably.
Rep Smith had signed the report
some weeks ago but had changed
his mind since. He offered an amend
ment to read Interpreter Supreme
Court $500. Extra Interpreters
$1,000.
A vote was taken the result of
which was announced by the Chair
in favor of the measure, but express
sions of doubt were given. And
then ensued a scene of confusion
worse COMPOUNDED" calls of doubt
past the unheeding ear of the Chair
until personal remarks, directed
against him, caused a response. The
acting interpreter got ratified and
forgot his position therefore no in
depreciation was given of the four
minute war of words Noble Ena
had word or two to say which No
BILE Marsden understood to refer to
him and desired the Interpretation.
Noble Ena suggested that where
ignorance was bliss etc" and said
that he took all that he had said,
back. daughter and commotion.)
Noble Neumann scoffed the idea
of the Interpreter being compelled
to fill the position of a Supreme
Court Interpreter and also Circuit
Court Interpreter. The incumbent
would ''no doubt be man, or one
of the class mammalia" and "only
as bird could two positions be fill
ed at one time or, rather be in two
places at once" Qaughter). He did
not blame any one for having re-
luctance to go up to Hamakua
Qaughter). He had reluctance
himself and only liked to be in that
dreary region when Noble Marsden
was at home Iaughter).
Rep. Ashford offered an amend
ment which on vote, was lost and the
item passed at $1,000.
