Or 3.i- &,' I. S? -t I t F (Continued from 1st Page.) troducor to withdraw it; if tho reso lution carried, tho Ministry would grncofull' retire. Noblo Thurston said tho Attornoy- Qonoral had said it. wis a matter of taste whether the Cabinot was voted out or not. That was not s,o. It was not a matter of taste, personal fooling or jealousy. "Ot all sad things of tongue or pen tho saddest nro those," to have boon a Cabinet Minister. Tlioro was no position so hard to boar, so thankless, as that of a Cabinot Minister. Ho did not, therefore, oppose thebo men for hiin- v self or his fiionds. but on urineinle. Sovoral spoakors had said personal fooling was tho motive of the opposi tion. He had no more of that than ho had a few days ago when they had stood shoulder to shoulder in voting out tho piovious Ministry and later thoj wore all yachting together at Pearl Harbor on the best of terms. If " gonial Paul " was not his friond as much aftorwards as before: if Mr. Macfarlano did not work with him as much and as cordially as be fore in advertising tho country abroad, it certainly would not ' ' fault. It had been said tho niajoi did not know what it wanted. did know; an issuo was never more clear cut than now. It was tho ques tion of ropresontativo government vs. personal government of the right of tho majoiity to rule. This was not a principle invented b3' tho Eoform party. It had boon develop ed by Groat Britain, tho mother of Liberty, with blood and iron through a thousand years of struggle and suffering. Hawaiians have inherited these rights so easily that they did not know what it was to fight for them. If Hawaiians had had to fight for their rights instead of receiving thorn as a present, they would not talk in the prosonco of a great, plain principle, about "personal jealousy" and "scrambling for office." TI103 don't know what thoy aro talking about. Aftor forty years only the Hawaiians have reached a position which it took England a thousand years to win. Forty years ago the monarch was absolute horo. Ka mehameha V. could send a Legisla ture home and put forth a Con stitution resting on his own will alono, and tho whole country sub mitted to it. Would wo stand that kind of thing to-day, gontlo men? Nol and yet that was onhy a few years ago in 18G5. Yet tho country put up with it thon. Tho common peoplo wore afraid of tho chiefs, and tho monarchy was practically absolute. Only six short years ago, in 1886, what was tho situ ation? We had a king who put Cabinots in and put them out with out caring a snap of tho finger what the Legislature said about it. Ho usually chose his Ministers at mid night. He kicked thorn out aftor a vote of want of confidence had fail ed, and kept them in after tho House had voted them out. It was called a constitutional monarch'. It Wcis a constitutional farco. That was personal rule as opposed to ro- , prosentativo rule. Tho king was practically absolute as far as tho Cabinet was concerned. If by any moans the peoplo elected anybody to represent them, thoy wore faced by 2-i Nobles who represented only the king. You might talk yourself deaf, dumb and blind, and you could not move the Nobles. Was that re presentative government? Nr' It was personal government ot most aosoiuto Kinu. i'ow countr. 3 on this broad earth have made more rapid progress in political liberty than wo. Only in 188G tho king had an absolute veto. His "No" outwoighted 48 votes. Now a bill can bo carried over his head. Oflico holders have been banished from tho House. Wo have advanced so far that now in stead of a Cabinot trembling boforo tho King, wo have ouo which is over his head, v hogo advico ho is bound to take, and which can bo only put out of oflico by vote of 23 of tho elected members of the House. Somo day, I do not know wlion it will be, but some day, as suroly as tho sun rises and sots, tho peoplo will rule absolutely in this country, and wo won't have any monarch. I don't believe the couutry is ready for that to-day. It may not bo roadj; next year, nor for many yoars, but tho day must como, for it is tho tendency of the whole world. Tho timo when the monarch can rido roughshod over the necks of tho people has for ever gone by. To bring this down R' to the orosont moment, tho thirtv- sthroo signers of tho resolution pre sented to Her Majesty supported tho principle of representative against personal government. Somo of them had no courage, and have gone back. Wo don't care if they have. Tho rest of us will stand to our convictions, and if wo aro beaten wo will go down with tho Hag Hying. Tho porson who wroto Her Majesty's reply made a bungling straddle, but I believe in accepting it as an ac ceptance by Hor Majesty in good faith of the principle that tho major ity of the Legislature shall bo con sulted in pickiug out tho Cabinot. We have modo this advance, Lot us Hot go back. He did not wish to bo ruled by King Macfarlano nivy more than by Queon Liliuoknlani. Thoro scorned to be some fatal bias, some deadly miciobo bias in this Houso when tho quo-t'on nf makinga Oabi-J not was concerned. When Noblo , Neumann was olfrvod a Cabinet posi tion ho forgot all wnro of self-respect, his position as a legislator and Ins duties to hiscollonguo- and with out eon speaking to his own faction he turned up smiling one morning as a Minister. No boo biued louder 1 in tho hive limn than Noble Macfar lano. Nothing would silisfy him but tho gor.t 'cnip of his late com panion, and he had it. Although ! Jlr, iNouinnnn was ins irienti, 111s boon companion, his political asso ciate, ho must bo taught a lesson. Then tho lion, member said the National Kuform Patty had boon making a draft mulo of him and ho didn't propose to stand it and thoy had a sort of monkey and parrot time of it. But two short weeks passed, and tho same thing happen ed to the gonial member Troiii Hono lulu (Mnofarlano). Ho didn't con sult his faction nor his friends but climbed tho fence between Saturdaj night and Monday morning, and turned up whore his whilom friend had done, in tho Cabinot. Now Mr. President, tho lest of us stand just whore wo did w lion our two friends J desoited us. But when wo presume to insist on what wo all insisted on then, they have nothing to answer but tho shriek malice! annexation! wish for ollicot and now tho Attor-noy-Goneral weops it is not fair not to give us a ehanco. I toll you, gentlemen, when you have a rotten egg thoro is no uso to sot it for throo weoks under a hen to seo if it will hatch. No, gentlemen; tho situa tion is plain aim simple, and tno is sue is clear cut. Tho question is whether tho Cabinot is to bo select ed in accordance with Constitutional principles or by irresponsible per sons? If tho principles was good when wo signed that paper, it is good now. If it was worth lighting for thon, it is worth fighting for now. If it was sound thon, it is sound now. I do not propose to go back on it, no matter who leaves it, and I will fight for it until, so help mo God, it becomes tho governing prin ciplo of this country. It has been said that tho moinbor from tho third district and myself aro now together like lambs. I wish to say I don't get into bod with anybody, but if ho or any other moinbor falls in lino on this principlo I am glad to moot them. You natives should not bo guided by personal regard for tho Minister of Foreign Affairs, I j-iold to no 0110 in that. But if you got up and say 3011 will not support repre sentative government against per sonal government, you will bo aban doning tho rights of your constitu ents. You must make a stand for principlo. Tho Marshal had said to him that it was rumored if this reso lution did not pass its supporters would uso force. That was not true. Thoy would uso nothing but consti tutional and legal moans and if thoy did not succeed -in enforcing tho principlo now, thoy would wait until tho' could do so. Noblo Peterson said thoro wore a number of others who wished to speak and ho would therefore move (at 5:20) a recess till 7:30 p. m. Carried. PACIFIC HARDWARE Mr. Lander's Recommendation. Mr. J. A.
