I furnished its quota of soldiers. I'VE
should concluded the gentleman on
1.-THE floor, "see that the appropriation
is passed, and leave something for the
military" Wise, in translating, made
slip of the tongue. and used the
word missionary for military The
result was hearty laugh from the
Independents.
Emmeluth then proposed to proceed
to do his diurnal stunt. His speech
might have very aptly been labeled
.'The Strenuousness of Me. BY Myself"
The savior of his country proceeded to
paint the awful condition which would
befaIl the Territory of Hawaii if he
were not allowed to have his way John
concluded by presenting himself with
yard of leis and Dewey arch.
Robertson replied TO Emmeluth, and
called him IAN x-oligarchist." The
ttle hit the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. rather
hard. for he sprang to his feet and
made a speech, IN which he attacked
existing conditions. The military of
the country were denounced as hire
lings of capital. There had not been
a strike in the last twenty-four years,
in which the military have not been
called out, at the request of soulless
down like so many dogs The apostle
of reform said that he. for one. had al
ways been and always would be- OPP
posed TO the militia.
Il was just here that Hoogs contrib
uted few well-directed remarks to
the Representative of the Fifth Dis
trict that knocked that gentleman off
his feet When the gong sounded En-
ed Emmeluth that he owned a half in
terest in a plantation, and that he was
not paying such exceptional good
wages, either. Hoogs intimated that
the change in agricultural conditions
for which Emmeluth was always pray
ing, was but so much bait, with which
to catch the unwary. He suggested
that Emuaeluth take the beam from
his own eye before attempting to re-
move the mote from the optics of the
landowners of Hawaii.
After the laugh had subsided. Make
kau said that Emmeluth's remarks had
a familiar ring to them. He had made
this cry before. During the days of
the Monarchy he said the very same
things that he was now advocating
When the Republic was established,
Emmeluth was one of the strongest ad-
vocates of a large military force being
at the beck and cali of the Governor.
Now he had Topped once more, and
was talking of "ploughshares and prun-
ing hooks After making speech of
several minutes, all for the benefit of
the political acrobat, Mahekau took his
seat.
Prendergast said that II was not
money for legitimate expenses, but
beer money that the Legislators wished
to quash.
Beckley had the last say He said
that the Legislature could not do away
with the militia. but that it could do
away with the appropriation
/ The vote that followed was taken by
ayes and noes. The result was as fol-
lows:
I Ayes-Ahulii, Akina, Emmeluth, Eva
liko, Haaheo. Hihio. Kaauwai, Kaui-
