was opposed to the Cabinet in prin-
ciple. The Cabinet had promised to
reduce expenses, but had not done so.
Rep. Iosepa held that the Cabinet
were not responsible for the extrava-
gance of the House, and that part OF
the resolution was perfect nonsense
Proceeding the speaker took up the
resolution and Analysed it in details
claiming there was nothing in it. The
members of the Cabinet had taken
office not for the salary aud not for
glory but for the interest of the coun-
try. He protested against the at
tempt made by some of the native
members to draw the color line. If
we were going into the business of
making and unmaking Cabinets We
would be here two months longer.
He had been accused of taking brides
because he voted against the last
Cabinet, but it was false. He was
able to support himself honorably,
though some members were not. He
would move that the resolution be
indefinitely postponed.
Rep. Pua said there were many
good points about the Cabinet. They
had appointed Hawaiian as Regis
trar of Public Accounts, but he heard
they were sorry for it so he would
vote against them.

% When Man w al in Darkness.
Man was once in comparative dark
ness when the sun went down. His
primitive habitation was place of rest
unlighted by the oil which prolongs the
hours of labor, doubles the speed Of
progress and shortens life. After ages
of cropping about-feeling for the key
hole on the wrong side of the door, so tt
speak-he stumbled on the fact that fat
would make light. Looking around
for something to hold the fat the skulls
of animals were found useful, and sc
the antediluvian discovered the princi
pie of portable illumination.
From skulls and seashells light pro
ceeded to vessels of burned clay, dish
like, with wicks of fax, rushes and
other fbers. Many of these primitive
lamps have been found in the ruins Of
Pompeii, Herculaneum and elsewhere
but the invention of the lamp is sup
posed to belong to the ancient East In
dams. Until the beginning of the Nine
tenth century there was little i'm
provement in lamps. The candle KEEP
humanity in semidarkness, which wa:
relieved by the introduction of minera
oil, which stimulated invention and
brought about the lamp of beauty anG
utility of the present. - Mechanical
