Saloon - Makekau and His
Senatorial Aspirations Long,
Stormy Session.

Yesterday afternoons session Of the
House was rather long and stormy.
Parting salutations were exchanged
with great frequency. Makekau and
Emmeluth at last came to the conclu.
sion that they could no longer live
apart, they loved each other so. The
talk of the afternoon ranged from the
somber question Of the wherewithal
with which to pay the Fire Claims. to
coffee and still more inebriating
drinks.
The Appropriation bill was finally
sent on its way rejoicing and will find
its next haven of rest in the Governors
sanctum.
II was during the discussion OF this
bill, that Emmeluth and Makekau told
the assembled throng what great and
nndying love they bore each other
| Makekau wanted to reject the bill
because the secretary Of the conference
committee had dared to present It to
the House. The Hamakua statesman
thought that the bill should come from
the chairman OF the committee alone.
This last remark struck a cores.
ponding chord in Emmeluth.

all day yesterday at work on amend
ments which that gentleman helped
to make"
