Rep. Robertson reported for the
Judiciary committee as follows:

the retention OF the Circuit Court
term at that town, hereby report, re-
commenting the petition be laid up
on the table for consideration with

the subject.
Rep Richards reported for the
Printing committee that the joint re-
port on Great and Department seals
had been printed anu We're ready for
distribution.
Rep. Hanuna introduced a resolu-
ton to the effect that the secretary be
instructed to furnish each member of
the House with twelve postage stamps
a month with the necessary sticking
material on the side to be applied to
letters or other mail matter. In plain
language the introducer of the resolu-
ton explained that twelve two-cent
stamps was all that was wanted. One
or five cent stamps were not in it.
Rep Bond moved that the resolution
be laid ON the table.
There was ripple of light laughter
throughout the House and then Rep.

as a matter of principle. Ink, pens
and stationery had been furnished
members Stamps were right along
in the same line. Very often mem
bers wished to confer With their con-
stituents. When matters of impor-
lance to them were being transacted
in Honolulu it was no more than
proper that they should be informed
of such. Stamps for this purpose
should not be bought with money
from the pockets of the Represen
tatives.
The motion to lay the resolution on
the table was lost and the motion to
adopt was easily carried.
Unless some of the members refuse
to accept postage stamps the Secre-
tary will have to furnish 50 SO worth
of stamps every month.
Rep. Robertson moved that the re-
port OF the committee on seals be laid
on the table to be made the order of
the day, Wednesday. Carried.
Rep. Kamauoha moved that the
rules be suspended in order to allow
of his reading resolution. When
the motion was put a few struggling
hands went up for and against. The
speaker reprimanded the members for
their mesmerized condition and as a
punishment made them stand up to
show their respective sides. The
motion was carried and Rep. Kamau-
oha presented his resolution recon-
mending the use of "type writing"
instead of " engrossiDg."

opinion that the committee on rules

ARREST THE DISASTER.
Opium License Means Death to
HawaiianS.

MIR EDITOR:-With great sorrow
and surprise / notice in the civ
papers that bill to legalize the sale
of opium was brought into the Senate
of this Republic. The Senate of this
Republic whose "corner stone" ap-
peared to be opposition to the free
use of this drug.
When, during the reign of KaIa-
kaua, opium was legalized, it was not
uncommon to see Chinese on the
thorOughfares, with their opium pipes
ready for any Hawaiians. Even youth
and children were taught its use.
We who have seen the dire results
of free liquor upon the natives were
grieved beyond measure to see this
new and terrible foe to the +" life of the
land" and rejoiced in its removal,
but fair lives are still blighted by this
license.
Now we are again threatened with
the obstruction of" our people from
this foe. Our people are they not,
whom we have loved and for whom
we have labored for more than half
century, ever sorrowing that the
kindly Hawaiians are so ready to
fall into those sins that destroy soul
and body and needing restraint and
not license
May God grant that this young Re
public which has taken upon itself
the welfare of Hawaiians remain
faithful to its trust and not bring up
o them, "terrible temptation -
which the past shows them unable tn
resist and may all good men and true
become enthusiasts to arrest the
disaster.
