NJ boJ hoo, ;uJroaJ fo hripO n,
this resolution at the request of ma
jority of the members of this House.
During the existence of past Cabinets
he was in coalition with the then OPP
position, but as the principle which
they then fought for was not carried
out, he would now oppose the Cabinet.
While he always regretted frequent
changes of Cabinets, yet he was work.
ing in the interests of his Hawaiian
constituents.
AT 1:55 Pm. there was no quorum,
but Rep. Bush continued to speak, eX-
planning that he had often absented
himself from the House out of disgust.
All causes of friction must be removed
in order to establish confidence abroad.
He had no motive in his opposition to
the Cabinet except the desire to estab-
lish the principle lately contended
for.
At . o'clock the President stated
that there was no quorum.
Rep. Nawahi had nothing against
any of the Cabinet except the Minis
ter of the Interior, but as that gentle
man had voted to put out the Nawahi
Cabinet he now proposed to revenge
himself by putting out the Wilcox
one.
At 2:20 there was again no quorum.
Noble Marsden moved the rule
against smoking be suspended; that
was the only way quorum could be
got. Carried.
Noble Kauhane said it was alleged
that the Cabinet had not fulfilled the
of the country. That
meant the Constitutional Convention
BILL But that bill was defeated by
the Legislature, and would have been
the votes of the Cabinet. The |
Cabinet had shown a disposition to |
carry out the will of the House. They |
had done a great deal to alleviate the |
present financial distress. They could |
not do everything at one stroke He |

as long as they worked honestly for |
the good of the country. Moreover,
the Cabinet consisted of Kamaainas |
This Cabinet possessed the confidence |
of the business community. He |
doubted whether Cabinet composed |
Of natives would. Men in the Cabinet |
should be men who have made a sue |
cess of their own business, not men |
who have covered themselves up with |
and made a failure of |
everything they ever attempted.
Rep. Bipikane said he had not been |
offered anything for his vote, but he
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 analyzed it in details
there was nothing in it. The
members of the Cabinet had taken
office not for the salary and not for
glory but for the interest of the coun-
Try. He protested against the at
Tempt made by some of the native
to draw the color line. If
We were going into the business of
and unmaking Cabinets we
would be here two months longer
de had been accused of taking brides
he voted against the last
Cabinet, but it was false. He was
Ible to support himself honorably,
hough some members were not. He
would move that the resolution be
Indefinitely postponed.
Rep. Pua said there were many
'ood points about the Cabinet. They
