IMPORTANT DAY
IN LEGISLATURE

as the presiding officer of the Terrific
rial Legislature.
The Senate tried to get down to bust
ness then, and Mr.. Kanuha gave no
tice of his intention to introduce "An
Act to provide and regulate the send
ing OF American youths to the United
States to be educated"
Then Senator White arose and pre-
scented his celebrated "chuck-them-
out" amendment to rule n. 1t looks
innocent enough when read, but there
is a lot between the lines which a
person not familiar with politics does
not see 1t reads:
IF any member shall conduct himself
in disorderly manner during any SEES
sions of the Senate the president shall
order such member to keep his seat
and preserve the peace, and if he shall
then persist in his disorderly conduct,
the president shall have the power t.
order the sergeantat-arms to remove
him from the Senate, and he shall not
be permitted to take his seat during
the remainder of the days session ex-
cept upon satisfactory plecge given by
him to the Senate of future good be-,
havfor."
The original rule demands two
thirds vote to fire" a member, but
by Senator Whites amendment a sim
pie majority can fire" a Senator out
when he should chance to De In the
way of the whole push, represented
by White
Even Senator Kanuha, the tailor OF
| the Kamehameha Schools, left the
ranks of the Home Rulers and spoke
and voted against 1.-The father of his
country" who is vice-boss of the Home
| Unrulies.
Then the Senate took a recess, and
| the wise men were really good when
they met in the afternoon. 1t had
been rumored that the Governor had
signed that $4,000 bill. and the chairs
couldn't hold anything or anybody
| connected with the sack. Everybody
was looking towards the door, await
ing the appearance of a message, and
after a short discussion, bill 26, relat-
| ing to exemption of certain personal
| property from execution etc, passed
the third reading. Carter and Achi had
Htheir say, of course, against the Act,
which is most injurious TO the COM
monwealth, but the Kalauokalani fac
ton simply stared at the entrance
door through which the welcome mes
| sage was expected to come.
Then bill 81, relating to the regula-
ton Of fees for witnesses and jurors
was called, and after a tiresome dis
cussien it was carried by order of
Senator White, who evidently wants
witnesses and jurors to be under obli-
] cations to him When he is not a
| Senator he is a half-baked lawyer in
some village on Maui.
The following message from the
House was then received and read at
the rate of runaway automobile, by
Secretary Caypless. 1t says:
| l have the honor to inform your hon
| orable body that the Senate Concurrent
| Resolution No. . was concurred in by
the House of Representatives, Terrific
ry of Hawaii, on the 25th day OF
March, A D. 1901. Very respectfully,
S. MEHEULA,
Clerk House of Representatives.
For reasons unknown there was a
general kick coming. Achi was again
swinging authorities (bourfd in calf).
Kalauokalani had his branding irons.
and Tailor Kanuha his shears in a
demonstrative manner.
Then the only White appeared after
a cooling-let it be called scotland at
the top of his voice. called: PAU!
PAU, no more growing today. l move
we adjourn"
And adjourn they did without de-
bate.
