ture must provide the money. Th
whole matter must be sifted and com
promises made. The matte; shoul,
be referred to the Legislature whicl
should be called by the now govern
ment as soon as appointed. lie did no,
believe in, or did not advocate, con.
sequential damages. He thought, how
ever, that certain classes of rents
should be considered, but lie had not
held they should be paid. II calling
for justice was revolutionary, as the
Minister of Finance had said, then he
wanted to be written down as revolu
tionary. II is not a question Of wheth-
er we can afford to pay, but 1t is duty
we must carry out by paying all honest
and just claims.
This was his position, concluded Mr..
Jones, and, IL 1t was revolutionary,
let them write upon his tombstone
"Hic facet Revolutionist." Laughter
and applause.)
Referring to the discussion Of the
previous day Mr.. Jones pointed out
that Minister Damon had made
strong argument for paying claims
when he had alleged that the people
had burned Chinatown. II this wac
true, the people ought to pay for it.
He here read extracts from q letter
published by w. X. Castle lately, sup
porting his view. The Government
record had thus far been kept clean,
and he hoped It would be so kept by
paying all just claims.
MIR. Jones here turned to the minis
terial chairs and said he had been ac-
cused of using harsh words the day be-
fore. II he had done so, he had not
been aware of them. He generally
spoke his mind and sometimes the
facts made language appear hareh. II
any present considered he had sed
harsh words in the heat Of discussion,
he heartily offered an apology. He did
to others as he wished Others to do UNI
to him.
In conclusion, said Mr.. Jones, there
was a moral responsibility connected
with this matter. He cited the cases
Of the Kaumakapili churcn, which had
been burned by accident and the case
of the injury done the kawaiahao
church. for which the Boal d of Health
had already paid $500. Both cases
had been without consent OF the trus-
tees, should not both be paid for? He
was only plain business man and
did not care two raps for the legal
phases, but he thought that the moral
quality of the action demanded that
payment should be made in both !
cases.
The secretary then read The original !
resolution of Mr.. Achi and the substi-
tutes offered by Messrs. Bolte and Ken
needy.
Mr.. Kennedy's substitute was put to |
vote and lost.
Mr.. Bottles substitute was carried, |
only three voting in the negative |
These were Kennedy, Robertson and |
Gonsalves.
