rejected. So much for American en-
NIFTY. By the grace of His late Ma
lesty the speaker was made denizen.
He was practically Hawaiian, but
hrst an American, and would remain
one. Now, however, he proposed to
make the interests OF this country his
first care. The want Of confidence
motion was cut and dried or il would
not have been brought. He did not
question the A1iiyes of the mem
bers who VI 80 for the Cabinet
TWO weeks ago. Some of them
had slight lapse of honesty
TOUR years ago, when q Reform House
voted them out of it. He wished them
now good digestion of the acuuisi-
ton. Perhaps the conduct of these
members now had motives similar to
those which actuated them in 1883.
he understood that good deal
OF the persuasion had come from
member who gives luaus, and
VINO mas offered member of
TINS House q valuable piece of land.
he held himself responsible for what
he said and he would not be afraid to
meet him when he came to him if he
was in hearing. One of these men
was member OF a benevolent society
and had not turned in the funds which
he had collected. He did not propose
To leave the subject without tearing
OF the mask, and if the Reform party
got its support from such foul and inn
pure sources, he could only congratu-
late them. 1t had been strikingly
said by his friend the Noble from
Maui that he would form a coalition
with the devil, and he had come as
near to it as he could when he found
these two coadjutors. These men
when they went back to their
constituents, would wear a blush
which would shame the woods
on fire. This Cabinet was not
necessary to the prosperity of the
country. He could pick out quite as
good a one from this House, but let
the House be honest, strike out the
preamble and do not pretend that you
have any honest reason Tor the vote.
The member from Maui had charged
the Cabinet with raising the sham
cry Of annexation. Not q word had
been said by the Cabinet on anneXa-
ton except in reply to what the OPP
position had advanced, and when
fellow ran at the head of a crowd and
shouted stop thief, he was usually the
man who should be locked up. 1t had
been well said that no remarks
from anyone would change the
views of anyone. No amount of talk
could mo 2 those men who had had
g Gu coge1l reasons for changing their
.hinds. In regard to the Marshal, he
wished to thank the members for all
their courtesies, but he would say that
not ten Houses could make him do
any unjust act-he would not con-
denim man unheard. Mr.. Bush's re-
port contained q number of citations
from encyclopedias, etc, which even
he had not read. He had learned more
about opium from that pamphlet than
he had ever known before, but nothing
about the Marshal except few vague
rumors. AS to the other opium report,
he had been astonished that there had
not been at least little paltry flame
after so much smoke and noise. But
there was NOTHING Tut glimmering
ashes. There was ling in the re-
ports on which a / al man could
take action. He woult. say to the gen.
tlemen who were going to vote for the
resolution, that he could not admire
their sense of justice. They could not
hurt him, for he wanted no position
which brought nothing but abuse
from every quarter. He thanked them
for their attention.
Noble Thurston did not proposed to
go into details. The Accomplishment
in late campaign speech had taken
occasion to charge him with losing
100000. The Attorney General
knew that he was speaking an I'M
truth, and he knows is tonight. He
said the bonds could only be sold for
80. The Treasury balance when he
took office was about $4,000. Bonds
could not be sold at any price. Bonds

of 100000. The Treasury balance
March 31st, 1883 was 500, 465; March
31st, 1890, it was $491, 152. Hawaiian
Government bonds sold at public auc-
ton here at 113. The Minister wrote
to London to buy bonds at par and
could not get any for nearly year.
AS to the Postal Savings Bank, the
Minister of Finances report gives
every dollar and every cent of eXpen-
diture of the funds for that service.
During that period $4,000 was re-
ceived from the bank. CThe speaker
read large number of items showing
that the money was expended in use
full public improvements So that
when the Acknowledgement makes
such statements he knows, or should
know, it was false, and should have
the decency to get up and admit it.

and left no record and no trace.

that there were brides. So there were.

Perhaps he had erred in his figures.
The member might have wasted but
100000.
Rep. KamauOha said he had not in
/tended to say anything more, but the
Attorney General Ind reflected on the
motives of the members. The Attor-
ney General had suddenly developed
the idea that going to luaus was
wrong. What then did he say to the
luaus given at Waikiki when this
resolution was up before. What about
the little dinners that used to be given
at the Hotel. Did the Attorney
General mean to admit that these
were given for the purpose ofintluenc-
ing votes? The reason of the change
of the members was that they had
been disappointed in the conduct of
the Cabinet. AS for the members go
