The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-12-03
AFTERNOON SESSION.

The House re-assembled at 1876 PM.
Consideration of the Appropriation
bill.
The item for the Queens Guard was
taken up.
Rep. S. X. Pua moved the item pass
at $4,000.
Minister Jones strongly urged the
ACCESSIBILITY of sticking to the reduc-
ton. The country had not the money
to spend, and there was no better
place to cut down than right here. A
gentleman who held more Govern
ment bonds than any other had said
to him, Clones, you must cut that bill
down. and gentlemen had said that
if the House went on squandering
money they would not lend any more
money. That would put the Govern
ment in q very embarrassing position.
Noble Marsden cordially endorsed
the remarks of the Minister, and he
feared that the receipts would not
cover the appropriations in Section /.
The army might be cut down still fur
ther.
whether any man outside the Govern
ment was running it.
Minister Jones: / do not know that
any man outside is running the Gov
| eminent.
Noble Marsden said someone outside
| would be running it all before long if
they did not cut down expenses.
Rep. Smith said the Government
could dissolve the contract with it's
soldiers whenever it chose.
| The previous question was carried
and the item passed at $4,000 on the
following division:

Expenses of sending the Band to
Chicago and distribution of literature
at the Worlds Fair, $4,000.
Noble Thurston moved to pass the
item. The cyclorama had cost large
sum of money. 1t would advertise
the country as nothing ever sent out
of it had done. 1t had not asked the
government for cent. 1t proposed
to spend $4,000 in advertising the
country, with the intention of making
the enterprise benefit to the country
as we'll as to the stockholders. i
made no difference to the Cyclorams
: Company whether the band went tx
Chicago or not. He was ashamed Il
think that Hawaii would have no eX.
} hibit. The little bankrupt black Re
public of Hayti had appropriated
financial return, but they had som,
: that it was now proposed to cut of
this little appropriation of $4,000
) Even if we did not expect to get bacl
dollar for dollar there was somethin,
in this world besides money. TIL
t Central Union Church had just put u

/ here was an item which would reliev

some representation, and it probabl
e would not cost the Government a re
a cent. 1t was only guarantee FUND
