We need the spirit of mercy. How much
mercy is there in the world? A man does
wrong in the bank or in the church. The
world sends him ont No one wants to be
seen going down the street with him.. What
is Gods mercy? No matter how far wrong
he goes God SAYS: Come back.
1t it is hard for q man to get back how
much harder it is for a woman? She re
pents; no mercy. She attemps to swim
ashore; you stone her back. She almost
reaches the shore and is about to put her
fingers on the rock, when you crush her
fingers with your heel. Gods mercy is
different. When the people wanted to kill
that woman, Christ said: "Let him among
you who is without sin cast the first stone
ut her."

could be got before next session. He
opposed Rep. Nawahi's motion.
Rep. Nawahi said that since Hor'
ner's Banking bill and the Hamakua
Railroad bill have been killed during
his absence, he contended that bor-
rowing S5,OO0,OO0 would take the
place of those bills, as the Govern
ment would be enabled to obtain
money at low rate of interest for
many years, the money TO be eX-
pended in developing the resources OF
the country. Borrowing small
amounts was expensive TO the Gov
eminent.
Rep. Edmonds could not believe the
statements of the member from South
Hilo.
Rep. Kamauoha supported Rep.
Nawahi's motion.
Rep. Pua said that according to
what he read in foreign papers, there
was a large surplus lying idle in
treasures of foreign governments,
and they would be willing to loan
them for 81 per cent. for terms rang
ing from twenty-five to fifty years.
The money obtained could be placed
in the Postal Savings Bank for loan
at per cent.
Rep. Waipuilani asked whether the
Government could borrow S5,000,00O?
Minister Jones-I don't think so.
He continued, saying it was utterly
impossible to borrow S5,000,000. The
national loan could not be redeemed
till 1896, and it was not safe TO have a
large borrowed amount lying idle for
three years paying interest all the
while; S750,0OO was what was re-
quired to carry out Section 2 of the
Appropriation bill. Five millions of
dollars could not be raised in this
Foreign bankers would be
to loan such an amount.

| Noble Homer approved the sugges-

Rep. Smith said that he intended
introducing a resolution bearing on
the report. He greatly favored the
appointment of committee from the
Legislature as recommended in the re-
port. Such committee would accom-
plish more than the Minister Plenipo-
tentlary. This committee of five could
not make any treaties. He then read
the resolutions:
Resolved: That, in view of the un-
satisfactory condition of existing COM
mercial relations with the United
States of America, committee of the
Hawaiian Legislature, consisting of

Washington to obtain Information as
to the terms upon which closer com
mercial relations, mutually advanta-
geous to the two countries. couId
probably be established between the
Governments of the United States and
the Hawaiian Kingdom, and repOrt
the result to this Legislature at an adj
journed or special session If the in
formation shall in the opinion of Her
Majesty's Government be sufficiently
important to call together the Lepis-
lature;
That the appointment of said COM
mittee be certified by the President
and attested by the Secretary of this
House; and
That the sum of five thousand dol
lars be devoted to defraying the ex-
penses of said committee, and be maid
from the money appropriated for the
expenses of the session of tie I,egis-
lature of the year 1892.
Minister Brown moved to adopt the
resolution. He moved the committee
consist OF three members: L. A. Thurs
ton (Maui), r. w. Wilcox (Oahu) and
Jos. Nawahi (Hawaii).
Rep. White moved to POSTPONE the
consideration till Friday. The COM
mittee should be definitely instructed
as to what they should do. He was
afraid OF lobbyists at Washington.
Noble Thurston and Rep. r. w, Will
cox, he considered were still on the
fence as to the question of annex
