Representatives All Decide to Have
Something to Say Over the
Grave of the
Dead. '
The militia re'cclved its, death, blow
In the House this morning. The ses
sion was long and 'everybody had some
thing to say on the subject. Finally,
tho majority report doing nwuy with
tho military, was adapted by a vow of
it to 1U.
Aylett spoko nt knrth on the.uilnor
lty report. He stated that tho minor.
tty had Investigated the niuuer thor
oughly and, while the) had mado
large cuts in the appropriations. It was
Impossible to do without the mllltla.
"I cannot let tho former p?ukcr's
arguments go by," tnld Entui.lutn,
"without making a cdinter stitemcnt
of my own. We hafn passed the time
when force Is needed to cnrnne the
laws. There Is na moro r.ecd for a sln-
t.e KCldlcr, for we haj paneu fiuin
n condition of force, to one of broader
constitutional grounds. There Is no
need of enforcing a law Justly applied,
and I tor one am in favor of wiping out
tho mllltla completely. Wo don't ro
quire it any mode for, did not President
McKIulcy tell us that wc were to deal
In Justice.
"Just this morning, gentlemen, 1 was

with which ho wanted to get something

There aro unholy comljtlons thnt we

ditions which exist nowhere else lu
the United States, No one but the
Legislature Is to blame for this matter.
If. wc bad stirred ourselves earlier, we
couiu nave put a stop to all this im
migration, but tho time Is now past.
"At least wo can do away with the
force which perpetuates these condi
tions of semi-slavery. Away with stub
talk as this. I would sooner give an ad
ditional s;o,000 to the school fund than
to perpetuate the force which upholds
the conditions which existed under tin

Emmeluth became the object of as
sault from three or four sources. Rub
ertson began the bombardment i-j
speaking as. follows:
"The speech ot tho ex-ollgarclUst."
said he, "Is somewhat of a par.il'zor.
I' rum his remarks,, wc would conclule
that not one soldier now existed In tha
United States, and that the tlma for

tho reverse Is the case. I uphold? .Mr.
Ajictt's able arguments In regard to
tho mllltla, both In condemning1 the
late extravagance of that body and In
advising a 'moderate appropriation
That, la the plan we should follow."
Emmeluth made a counter charge,
saying: "I'll admit that every State
In the Union has Its mllltla, but
everywhere it has been used. Innocent
people have been shot down. Every
where It Is used for the subversion ol
tho poor, the oppression ot the peopU
In every strike.' Frqm Maine to Cali
fornia, that has been the cubo than
the poor, ground down to the last
notch, have revolted for an honest
wage. Tako for Instance tha case
ot the Couer d'Alcne mines, when mur
der, open and uncovered was commit
ted. A month after that trouble, the
mine owner died worth 110,000,000.
Think of tho Chicago, Illinois and Al
bany strikes, when the peopo were
simply struggling for an honest wage,
The agricultural Interests of these Isl
ands' must yield wages that will al.
lew Intelligent men to come here and
work, so that we won't have to havt
guns or gun carriers. ,
"BcsldeH, gentlemen, this Is a new
Territory and should profit by tho ex
perience of the other States: Let me
tell you thero Is going to be a peace
ful revolution by means ot tho ballot
box, or a forceful one by means of
arms, before long thioughout the
whole United States."
"1 will promise to pester the House
only a few minutes," Hoogs began In
his dot lie way, ".but I would like to tell
tho honorable gentleman from the
FJfth a few things. Of course he
knows that he Is talking through his
hat I don't need to tidl him that; for
he knows It already. There uro a'few
plantations lu these Islands that nre
tunning behind through their labor
tioubles. Ono of those Is the one In
which the honorable gentleman owns a
half Intel est,"
"I'll admit that I own a halt Inter
est In a little 115 ncro trect," Emmeluth
said, "but If all laborers received J3
n day, I would not run behind. Other
things causo the shortngo."
Makekau gavo Emmeluth a fow pack
ages of his own. Mnkikau remembered
when Emmeluth was In faor of lessen

Ot course, tho gentlemun bad In view
tho overthrow of the King at that time,
Then, when the overthrow came, Em
meluth was In favor of enlarging the

control he was raising tho old cry of
'Away with the military.""

anticipated the cut, and had provision

ATTORNEY FITCH APPEALED
TO ON POINTS OF LAW
Attorney General Can Solre the Problem
if He Will-Only Method of
Establishing Cooper's Right -
to Act
The Judiciary Committee of the
House to which was referred the reso
lution to fnvestlgate the status ot Sec
retary Cooper as Acting Governor ap
pealed to Attorney Thomas Fitch as
special counsel.
'" The , questions on which Mr. Fitch
was called upon to look tip authorities
were: Has Hon. IHary E. Cooper
Secretary of the Territory of Hawaii
since May 11, 1901, been lawfully en
titled to officiate as Acting Governor?
Uf not entitled to act as Acting Gov
ernor what legal remeiy can be Invok
ed to compel him to ceas'e exercising
I executive functions
' Mr, Fitch reviews the case carefully
and quotes extensively from nuthort-
tics. He takes up tha cases -cited by
Attornoy,Oeneral Dole In support of
Cooper's rtasltlou Rna fhows wheieln
there Is no relation with tho state of
affairs now presented with regard to
the Governor of Hawaii.
I Attorney Fitch's ronclusllons ar
j given as follows:
( That Governor Sanford D. Dole has
not been laboring under Buch disability
ns disqualified him from performing the
duties of his orllce, '
That Secretary Henry" E. Cooper has
, ofllelated ns Acting Gmrnor v,itlmut
. authority to do so.
Thnt the only way to Judicially test
l the question of the right of Secretary
i Cooper to net as Governor Is by an In-
I formation In the nature of quo war
ranto. I That such writ cannot Issue except
upon Information filed by tho Attorney
General, nnd that If the Attorney Gen
eral falls or refuses Is file such In
formation there Is no process known
' to the law by which hu can be com
pelled to do so.
I Tho opinion of Attiirney Fitch nc-
i cnmpanled the committee report Intro-
I duced this afternoon. The committee.
recommends the adoption of tho fol
lowing resolution:
Whereas There Is grave doubt
whether Secretary Coouer has tho right
to officiate ns Acting Governor, nnd the
existence of such doubt may taint with
Illegally any appropriation bill that
may bo enacted by this Legislature, and
approved by Secretary Cooper and,
I Whereas, the decision of the Supreme
, Court upon the question Involved can
only be obtained through proceedings
I In quo warranto, and i-ich proceedings
lenn only be Instigated at the Instance
of the Attorney General and that off!
dal has already formally expressed
mmscir in faor of the legality of Sec
retary Cooper's occupancy of the posi
tion of Governor, and 1
Whereas, tho public Interests requlro
that tho question ot Secretary Cooper's
right tn act as Governor should not
depend upon the opinion of Attornc
General Dole alone,
Therefore, he It resolved, That Hon.
Sanford 11. Dolo be respectfully request
ed to rcsumo the executive functions or
else resign, or lea tho Territory for
a sufficient length of tine to legally
qualify Secretary Cooper to approvo op
appropriation bill.
