The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-10-18


He believed in annexation. and the
ADVERTISER was in favor OF annexa-
ton and nothing but annexation
would satisfy them. Two weeks ago
these gentlemen were lighting for the
constitutional principle involved.
mat Is lost sight of now and new
charges are trumped up 10 defeat what
we have been trying 10 do in the in
tereStS OF the country. The gentlemen
had charged that they We're opposed
TO American interests, and that these
struggling Industries We're throttled
IN their infancy because the Cabinet
was hostiiet To the United States. That
was the verieSt bosh and nonsense,
and This Cabinet would be as able to
negotiate treaty as any one, and the
correspondence would prove that, and
he wished the House might see il.
Such statements were simply dust
throwing 10 make il appear that only
these gentlemen of the Opposition
could bring about a treaty with the
United States. II had also been stated
10y the Noble from Maui that the
utterauces of the Bulletin were charge
able 10 the Cabinet. Those state
ments were utterly untrue, and the
Cabinet had no control over that paper
whatever He would read, with the
permission of the House, the CORES
pondence with the Minister, which
would show that the course of the
Cabinet had been fully straightfor-
| ward and manly, and not as had been
represented by the Noble from Maui.
| The correspondence was somewhat
extended, but ii would show the
facts. 1t would be proper to have the
! correspondence read if the House so
| FpnIaGfnH and hn ynnlH hn
| House TO request that the correspond
| ence be read.
Noble Williams moved it be read.
| Noble Thurston said if the Minister
wished to have the correspondence
| read he must do SO on his own respon-
sibility, and not endeavor to shift the
responsibility to the House.
| Rep. Ashford endorsed the remarks
of the last speaker. The Minister
might read it on his own responsible
ity if he wanted to, but he hoped he
would not want To. Not that he
feared to have anything read, but to
judge from the remarks of the Premier
it must be twaddle.
Rep. Waipuilani thought the Min
lister had no right to read the cores
pondence. In any case the House
should be cleared.
Rep. Kaunamano wished it read.
Minister Macfarlane said it was
somewhat irregular, but he would
read it with the concurrence of the
House and not without. 1t would
show the statements of the members
of the other side to be false. 1t would
show that the Cabinet were in no way
responsible for the Bulletin.
The President stated that the Min
lister was asking too much of the
House. He might read it if he chose
Minister Macfarlane contended that
he might read it if the House asked
for it,
Rep. Ashford-We shan't ask for il.
Minister Macfarlane Then you
won't hear it and you don't want to
either.
Minister Parker asked the Minister
of Finance to give way for moment.
The allegation was made here that the
Cabinet were on unfriendly terms with
, the American Minister. This cores
: pondence was brought here to dlsprove
that. If the House were not willing
l to hear the correspondence, then they
} should strike out the corresponding
part of the resolution.
= Rep. Kapahu said no amount OF
= talking would change anybody's mind
: Noble Thurston had eXpatiated on
e a quarrel supposed to exist between
l the Cabinet ana the American Minis
S ter, but when the correspondence was
o brought in they were scared and didn't
: want il read. This correspondence
= should be examined. a committee
o should be appointed to examine int
q the truth about it. There was nothin.
s in any of the charges against the Min
p istry. The opposition we're like MAJ
II who pulls 4 banana plant up ever,
l. tWenty-four hours to see whether il i
S growing. 1t was only the other da,
t that when the Minister wanted to fi2
= the Appropriation Bill, this Hous,
e told him to take it and fix ii. Nov
d they want to put him out, before n
l. has had chance to do anything abou
:, it. This House has no right to tel
: the Acknowledgement to remove II
d Marshal. This rests with the Attor
e ney General alone. We have no RICH
II to try public officials for their actions
T. Much fault has been found with tn
y Cabinet because they do not put dow

= Mr. Neumann The Cabinet is no
II on the defensive, but | will ask if any

10 close this debate, and / will give wa,
