The Report on Legislation was next
in order. Mr.. G. r. Bishop stated that
the Chairman of the Committee is abb
sent from the country, and no report has
been prepared. But in view of a spirit
manifested by certain persons in the
community, and of certain newspapers,
tending to excite race prejudice between
| the native Hawaiians and foreigners, he
would offer the following resolution:
Whereas, the prosperity of the chief
agricultural interests of the country
which are the bases of the general sup
| port and prosperity of the community
depends upon the preservation of auth
Ority, order and justice; and, whereas
| the maintenance OF authority and secur-
| ity in community made up of several
races, each having its peculiar claims,
| prejudices and peculiarities, requires
the exercise of more than ordinary wis
| dom, patience and kindness; and
whereas, the misrepresentation either
| by speech or publication of the feelings
or sentiments of any one race, occupa-
| ton or condition, towards any of the
! others can only be harmful: and tend
! to disturb the good relations which are
necessary in order to promote moral
and material prosperity.
Resolved; that, as planters and citi-
zens we strongly disapprove of every act
| and publication intended or calculated
to excite any distrust or prejudice in the
minds of the native Hawaiians against
those of foreign birth or parentage, or to
| excite feelings of contempt or distrust
| toward the natives; and
Resolved; that we regard it as pub
lie duty, in return for the hospitality
| which has uniformity been extended
to foreigners by the natives of this coun-
try during these last seventy years; for
| the trust and confidence they have
reposed in those of other races
and for the disposition they have
shown to improve, and to adapt
themselves to the very rapid and great
changes which have taken place in the
| affairs of their country during these
years; they should be favored in every
way consistent with good and stable
government and the general welfare
encouraging them, as well as those OF
other races, to depend upon competence,
honesty and sobriety for employment in
positions of responsibility and profit
| either public or private.
The resolution was received with ap-
| plause, and after remarks, it was unani-
mously voted that it be adopted, spread
