EVENING SESSION.

the evening session at 7:33 Pm.
On motion of Noble MarsIen, Rule
90 was suspended for the evening. and
each member proceeded 10 light his
cigar and be comfortable.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox said lie was
still in favor of the adoption of the
resolution. No reason has been given
except some weak talk by the Cab
met as to why it should be laid on the
table. L am ashamed of Minister
Parker for his remarks on the race
question. AS long as this Cabinet
stays in office the present Marshal
will remain. They have given no as
surances that the Marshal will be re-
moved. They dodge the questions.
This matter has been fully discussed,
and think the House is ready TO
come TO a vote on this question. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs has asked
to have the bill laid over If the
Ministers have just found out that
there is something wrong with the
Marshal, it is time their eyes were
opened. The House should consider
this question at once, and not post
pone it any longer. Therefore, move
that the resolution be adopted. Every
member has made up his mind on
this question, and no amount of talk
ing will change it. Let it come up at
once.
Noble Pua said the resolution intro
duced before the House does not give
any strong reasons why the Ministry
should be put out. The Noble from
Maui has criticized the Minister for
bringing up the race prejudice ques-
ton. This has always been the case
hn honn
years and is being done now. / am
in favor of postponing this resolution
till next Monday. Perhaps the Mar
shall will have been put out by that
time.
Rep. Nawahi said the House is sit
ting as jury, trying the Cabinet.
The resolution cannot pass without
the support of the native members.
want to know now if we will have
hand in the formation of the new
Cabinet, or will the hon. Mobiles take
it all in their own hands? We, the
Liberal party, have no representation
| in the Cabinet. This is not fair. Ii
we help you to put this Cabinet out,
we should be represented in the new
one. 1t may be all right to put out
| the other three Ministers, but when it
| comes to the new Attorney-General
| il seems rather hard TO say that
| twenty-seven hours is too long for
him 10 hold Office. This beats Mo-
reno's record of three days. 1t estab-
fishes a bad precedent to put their
man out, when he has been in only
one day. If you do this when you get
a new Cabinet, you may want to put
them out in one day, and this may
continue in the general scramble for
office. If the Liberal party would
have a hand in this new Cabinet it
would stay. Let the Queen appoint
one member, the National Reform
party one, the Reform party one, and
the Liberals one. / want to have the
members who were at this caucus get
up and explain what they did there.
Minister Neumann: l was elected
as much by the Hui Kalaaina and the
Mechanics Union as by my own party.
He cited the story of the novel chap
lain who was burying q sailor at sea.
The Admiral was below, so he went
ahead and said, 81 am the resurrec
ton and the life" Just then the adj
miral came on deck and said, "Hold
on; as long as I am on the ship, am
the resurrection and the life" This
is the National Reform party in this
House. 1 deny that the National
Reform party has any promise from
me. deny their right to say have
broken my word to them. 1t is false.
This caucus was at my house. They
came to certain conclusions, to which
1 agreed. / will not tell the House
what was said there, for it was said in
confidence. am grateful to my con-
stituents for what they have done for
me. Now they want to make a
draught mule of me, to drag their
ideas through the House. / have no
| ill-feeling against anyone for voting
as he sees fit. But if anyone alleges
that L have been guilty of breach of
faith, he lies! / want to say word
for the Cabinet. 1t has been said to-
night that the Cabinet has twice tried
to delay this resolution. 1t is not so.
| We have decided that we want this
| question brought before the House,
and we want you to decide on it as
you see fit. This Cabinet has been as
good as any preceding ones. They
went out for what they did. We are
! to go out for what we have not done.
If the House had been more inclined
! to help the Cabinet, instead of carping
! on the most trivial questions, you
would have got along a great deal
better. / thank the member from
Waialua for all his nice speeches
about me to day. My friends know |
would not make any false statements
to this House. When / took this posi-
ton, knew that vote of want of
confidence would come up the next
day, and | am ready to go out with
| them. The Noble from Maui has
called me a willy fox. / am larger
animal, and do not need anyone TO
support me. I will take the conse-
quences of my actions. There are
some members who say they have
heard no reason why the Cabinet
should be put out. This is perhaps un-
necessary, as long as there are people
who want to get in. shall, as have
said, pass out of this HOuse-be glad to
go. think have tried to do my duty.
Before l close ] desire to ask the
President question. 1t was found in
the first part of this session that the
member from the Third District had
forgotten to resign his position of
notary public. 1t was decided that he
could keep his seat. Now, when / was
appointed to my seat in the Cabinet,
forgot to resign my seat as Noble.
Now, Mr.. President, can / vote as
Noble, not as Attorney General, to
keep myself in?
Rep. r. w. Wilcox moved that the
ayes and noes be called on q vote to
pass the resolution.
Rep. Kamauoha-I agree with the
