Short Talks Made
After the stunts" had been finished
the chairman called upon q number OF
senators and representatives for short
talks. The question of the sugar
tariff was t.studiously avoided, until
Representative j. r. Mann, minority!
leader in the house, spoke.
Il should like to hear some senai
tor say what they intend doing for
Hawaii in the senate" began Mr..
Mann. There is one topic which may
not be mentioned, and which has been
neglected but which is nevertheless
uppermost in the minds of all. There
Is one thing IN which all or you are
interested and that is the sugar in
dnstry
sIf the sugar tariff is taken OF,
which do not think will be the case
though it now stands for removal on
the law books, it will be restored as
quickly as the legislation can be
ground out after March 4, 1877"
Il dare not come forward, because
/ dare not turn my back on so many
senator's Mr.. Mann said earlier jest
ingly. Chairman Harrington had been
conducting the meeting with a snap
and vim. Your president" said
Mr.. Mann. turning toward Mr.. Far;
ington, has led misspent life. He
should be president of the senate.
Like all members Of that body, he
butts in where he is not required. 1
was myself going to suggest electiRg
him to senate, but he had not the mod
esty to wait, which is characteristic of
members of. that body. This last
after Mr.. Harrington had risen and
asked for a vote TO elect himself a
member OF the senate, a vote which
was laHghingly given.
Senator willard Salisbury, when
called upon, asked TO be allowed just
a word to. reply TO Mr.. Mann. Il felt.
when found which OF the old Repub
lfcan leaders were coming ON this
trip, as though were a Red Riding
Hood among old political wolves" he
said. Hawaii is entitled To her
share Of opportunity and prosperity
Il think she win get it. But remem
ber the tariff is not a question of
sentiment nor of. patriotism. but. of
money. You cannot ask legislation
fer your support at the expense of
your brothers on the mainland. Do
not let money matters or considera-
lions play any part in your patriotism
or your politics"
Senator James jestingly took up the
cudgels for the senate by remarking
that ne had never known any member
of the lower hoHse who had not
wished to go TO or. been an avowei
candidate for the upper chamber.
Il am not geing to talk politics, he
said. This is not the proper time nor
place for political discussions. You,
as our hosts, would not offend US by
dragging in politics. anu we as your
guests would not offend you by talk
ing shop" Senator James referred
feelingly to the sentisaents aroused in
him during the morning by the inspec-
ton of Honolulu schools, where child
rem of so many races and nationali.
ties are being educated to be loyal
Americans.
