with the good work going on in the

is unwise. The Cabinet is not our
guide now. The House failed to get
any assistance from the Cabinet two
weeks ago, and the House appointed
the Committee on Ways and Means.
During the time of the Thurston Cab
met a resolution of want of confidence
in that Cabinet was introduced by the
Minister of Finance, and seconded by
Noble Macfarlane. Was that motion
delayed for two weeks? No! They
(the House) considered the resolution
Immediately, and new Cabinet took
their seats without delay.
Rep. Smith thought it would be de-
moraliZing to the business men down
town to delay the resolution too long.
Noble Baldwin's motion was long
enough. So far the argument has
been that the Cabinet has wanted to
continue longer in order that the
House should benefit by their advice
during the consideration of the APP
preparation bill. He thought that if
a change was made, it was wise to
have a Cabinet come in during its
consideration, so as to have their
opinion concerning it.
Minister Widemann said that the
Cabinet was ready at any time. They
were ready to-day. He urged the
House not to delay too long the con-
sideration of the resolution.
Rep. White said he favored that the
matter should come up on Tuesday
next. We (the Liberal party have
not been sending states to the Palace,
but we would like to have states of
our own. The Queen has been fire.

kind. Ii new Cabinet comes in after
the consideration of the Appropria-
ton bill, what would prevent them
(the new Cabinet) from whispering
into the ears of members TO prOrogue
the House, as there would be really
no work for the House to transact?
The present Constitution was framed
on Sunday. What is to prevent the
Queen from deciding on new Cabi-
net next Sunday? Another thing, we
have had several distinguished arri-
walls in this House lately. Perhaps
they came down on State business.

Y RESOLUTION TO REMOVE THE MARSHAL.
Whereas, the present Marshal of the

Whereas, the said Marshal is COM

July 23d.
Rep. Baldwin to lay the resolution

Rep. Kamauoha asked why reso-

tanned by the House.
The President answered that the
House could pass a resolution against
the Cabinet, but cannot against any
other officer of the Government.

not debatable.

due respect to the President, he

appealed from his decision.
Noble Thurston held that Noble
Neumann was correct.
The President said that, after look
ing over the rules, he thought Noble
Neumann was right
Rep. Smith held that the Presi-
dents ruling was right. The House
cannot entertain two motions at once.
He held that the original question
was debatable.
Noble Neumann said that the
member from Koloa was not in order.
If he did not agree with the last rul-
ing of the President, let him appeal.
Besides, the member from KolOa is
dead wrong.
The President remarked that it was
not nice thing for the President to
