WEDNESDAY, Jan. IL, 1892.
Afternoon Session.
Afternoon Session.

Afternoon Session.
The Assembly re-convened at 1:30
sharp and discussion on the Lottery
Bill was continued.
Noble Young said that, if there is
anything that the Hawaiian people
could do without it was this Lottery
Bill. He did not favor the presence
of such vampire in these isles.
There had been a great deal of
plausible talk during the mrnoing
about the benefits which would ac-
crue on the establishment of this
damnable lottery scheme in Hawaii.
1t had been stated by Rep. White
that the lottery in Louisiana had
almost paved the streets with gold!
Not so! The lottery had filed the
streets of New Orleans with misery!
1t filed the asylums with lunatics!
And do we want that here2 Is this
fair land to be made the abode of
misery and idiocy. He was ashamed
to think that any man with white
face would be so low, so small, so
lost to all sense of manhood as to
present such an iniquitous, damna-
BILE measure. He desired every we'll
wisher of the Hawaiian people to
vote against the measure. The
United States would look with much
disfavor upon the measure and our
interests would be greatly damaged
The other day the House was flooded
with petitions that the bill be
passed. And these petitions were
signed by so-called business men
Queer business men who had nc
farther view ahead of the sure bad
results of this lottery to tho coun-
try.
Noble Thurston said that he did
not wish to say anything on the
merits of the bill again but he did
desire to show the depths to which
friends of this bill had to descend III
an endeavor to gain their ends. He
held in his hand paper which pur
ported to be subpoena issued by
Judge Whiting and calling for the
presence of Rep. Kapahu away from
the Legislature. The speaker reaG
the subpoena so as to show that il
was in proper form and bore the
signature of Judge Whiting. HI
said that he had spoken to the judge
but that gentleman had denied al
knowledge of having signed sucl
paper and pronounced it forgery
and so it was, base attempt t.
spirit away one of the members who
was supposed to be opposed to tn,
bill. Words were not strong enough
for him to use to show his contemp
for the lawyer, the member of tn,
bar who it was stated had perpe
trated this trick, but had luckil,
failed in the entire fulfillment.
Rep. Bush did not wish to attemp
to defend the actions of any lawyers
he believed that they were bat
enough to do anything. This wa
only following in line with wha
he had witnessed the other da
when lawyers and business men wer
earnestly engaged in their Lobbying
and did it in a most unblushini
manner. He knew that the othe
day money had been passed to som
of the members by merchant VIII
does business on Queen street. Hav
ing been shown that example b.
those who claimed the honor of
higher race and better education
was it to be wondered that the Ha
waiian would fall? He wished to sa,
that he had bitter feeling agains
those who proclaimed principle fror
the housetops but failed to carry
out in their practice. You (speal,
ing to Noble Young) and your part
have given me promises which yo
have failed to keep. You and you
party can blame only yourselves 70
this evil, as you say it is the lottery
that is now upon us.
Noble Young-You talk as if yo
were the only man in the Hous
that had any principle!
Rep. Bush-I am man enough t
hold a principle and act with it, an
l have just Scotch enough in me t
let you know that l am man!
Noble Young-You are mistaken
You are thing, not man!
Rep. Bush-There is the lost prir
ciples of party pledged to me an
which believed in yet to be kept.
Noble Young-I say that you al
lying.
Rep. Bush-I say that you are
liar.
Noble Young-I did not say tn;
you were liar, l said you wei
lying.

Rep. Iosepa said that he did nc
consider that it would be of any us
to talk any longer. The bill cOul
