on his feet, and with fine sarcasm oh e.
jected to laws or authorities being
quoted in a body, which was absolutely
lawless
Senator Brown picked up his hat,
left the Senate chamber saying-per-
haps it is just a well that the repor-
ters' table is in the background of the
hall, so his remarks could not be dis
tiuCtly heard Taken by shorthand the
parting remarks of the Senator could
NOT be reported as Bless you all" but
ii was something to that effect.
I'm the meantime Senator Crabbe had
spied the Governors secretary, stove
pipe, envelope and all, patiently walt
ing for some one to attend to him, and
he demanded to know where the ser
geant- -at-arms was; that official, who
is the son-in-law of Senator White
being out Of sight, and probably in the
House, To find out whether there was
any show for "a dig-up un the appro-
priation proposition during the day
While the bodyguard was hunted for
by messengers, jantors, etc, Billy"
White got off an awful good joke. He
suggested to the chair that Achi should
use Gushing as a cushion, and sit
down comfortably Cha! ha! haD.
The sergeant -at-armS was found and
the message received by the august
body 1t reads:
TO the Legislature of the Territory OF
Hawaii:
Upon the approval of AN Act to pro
vide government for the Territory of
Hawaii" l requested Judge Walter f.
Frear, of the Supreme Court, to pre-
pare revision OF the Hawaiian laws
as affected by such Act.
My reasons for doing so were as
follows:
Judge Frear had been member of
the commission to recommend to Con
Sress legislation concerning the Ha-
waiian Islands
He had also prepared the text for
publication printed by the Federal
Government, entitled the Laws OF Ha-
wall, which comprised the Civil Laws,
Penal Laws and the Session Laws of
1898 modified I'm conformity with the
of the Hawaiian com
mission.
The Organic Act as finally adopted,
departed in many instances from the
original draft as reported by the com
mission, and the publication referred
to became thereby a defective state
ment OF Hawaiian laws.
The familiarity with the subject
which Judge Frear thus acquired gave
him special qualifications for the work
of putting the Hawaiian laws in
revised form for permanent use. Much
time might BE- saved by such early re-
vision,
The item of $4,000 In the estimates
for compiling ana publishing revised
laws, was intended 10 cover 10000 for
the work of compiling and revising
about 5000 for translating into Ha-
waiian, $1,000 for publishing IN both
languages and $500 for incideutals, in
cludng reading and preparation OF an
index ana table OF contents
The cost of publishing the Civil and
Penal Laws was, understand, SO
800 The English version Of this work
Is now practically exhausted
recommend that the Legislature
take measures 10 acquire Judge Frrar's
revision, which IL now substantially
complete. ana enact the same an the
present session as Hawaiian Code
and provide FOR the publication ther..
