Decay of the Hawaiians.

With an abundance of schools and
churches, there are every year fewer
scholars and worshipers; with an adj
mirable system of government, they
are constantly becoming fewer to gov
err.
The successive census returns tell
this sad story: In 1882 the inhabitants
of the islands were 130,313; in 1886,
los, $40; in 1850, "a, 165; in 1860, 69.700;
in 1866, 62, $50; in 1872, sc, S97; in 1873,
1885. And even this seeming arrest,
shown by the last census, in the process
of decay in the native race, is not real;
for during the last six years the Hawai-
ian population decreased four thousand,
the total gain being caused by an in
crease of foreigners TO the extent of
over five thousand The Government,
in a frantic effort to save itself from ex-
tinction, is importing immigrants.
During the two years ending in 1880 it
introduced over nine hundred Portu-
guese from the Madeira Islands,
and more than eleven hundred
Polynesians from the Gilbert Islands.
Besides these, many Chinese have come.
We are told, moreover. that the phys
ical type of the natives has deteriorated;
that the great stature and forms noted
by the early visitors to the islands have
passed away.
The history of the Hawaiians for the
last sixty years might be almost con-
densed into three words-Christianiza-
ton, civilization, determination. Pop
