On suspension of the rules, Rep. Ka.
pahu presented resolution of Want
Of Confidence in the Cabinet 1t read
as follows:
"Resolved that the Legislature
hereby expresses its want Of conf
dence in the Cabinet"
Rep. Kapahu said the Minister of
the Interior and the Minister of Fin
ance were good, charitable men, but
he felt constrained to bring this reso-
luton.
Rep. Kamauoha said the Cabinet
were able and honest men. There was
no doubt that they possessed the con-
fidence Of the community. They were
men of integrity, who would be able
TO secure funds to carry on the Gov
eminent. But would they carry out
the wishes of the Queen? Would they
do what the Queen and the Hawaiian
people wanted in regard to the Lot
terry, the Constitutional Convention,
etc. Would they do as the Queen
wanted them to?
Rep. r. w. Wilcox said if his own
brother were in the Cabinet he would
vote him out if he were put in in vio-
lation of principle. That was why
he would vote against the Cabinet.
Rep. Smith said the statement that
the Cabinet was put in in violation of
a principle was incorrect. (The
speaker then read the address of the
caucus to the Queen and her reply.
Later the caucus suggested three per-
sons to Her Majesty, and she called
one of the three and he formed a Cabi-
net. The principle was never laid
down by the caucus that the Cabinet
must be taken entirely from the
House.
Rep. Bush claimed the principle
had not been recognized. The Cabi-
net was formed before Mr.. Wilcox re-
turned from Kauai. He was merely
asked to take place in the Cabinet,
which was formed chiefy-bv the
Acknowledgement. Nh. Wilcox was
