Is the Hawaiian a Doomed Race I?
PRESENT AND FUTURE PROSPECTS,
Continuation see Holomua, Feb 2I

Outside of coolie labor and of the semi Hawaans the
only noticeable factor of is that of the Hawaiian
born Foreigners These also be promise of stability
for the population if they contained only the children of
bonafde permanent residents But they principally
include the children of the married aborers of
nationaes introduced for plantation work the total
number 495 of this element being composed far the
reports may be correctly of IL children of Potu
ge parents (5 per cent? 701 of Chinese and japanese
parents (22 per cent? GIT of white foreigners III per
cent? principally Caucasian, among whom
settlers and of so of other of the above total
many 6797 under Is years of age and 455 under
years, and therefore of account yet political
factors. But this element cannot be considered
stable for the FUTURE of them may perchance remain
in the countwhich is theirs only through accident
of birth but they would all go if their parents departed
that whole this class although apparently
promising for growth Of population be relied
upon much than the rest OF the foreigners whose
rason dere is sugar. and who would rapidly leave the
country any calamity befe that industry In connection
with this fact wish to state that already in 1885 in
review of the of the time called attention to the
sad fact that any increase of population through imported
abores only fictitious not solid durable of no use
for the future of the country and could awaken or
justify any genuine sasactonif any critical period
bea to these Islands thing quite possible at the
present age of crises and universal hard times general
exodus of such aborers would few months leave the
population down to the sole natives "
Politically this Kingdom, through the good naturedness
and hospitality of the Aborgnes offers the extraordinary
unprecedented feature that foreigners allowed the poll
teal rights of citizenship without becoming naturased or
taking allegiance to the country this having been one of
the unfair obnoxious results of the Missionary Revo-
luton of 1887 However ont of molly crowd of popu
ation only the natives and such foreigners who do not
belong to the Asatc enjoy the privilege of the ballot
box the total number of voters being $685. only 637 of
whom Americans against sos English that the party

Hawaiian citizenship against the autonomy of the Kingdom
form only 46 per cent of the whole Hawaiian voters,
per of the true native voters and these figures
explain quite satisfactorily why the present Government
have always obstnatey refused to call the Nation to
ratify their assumption of power.
Financially, outside of the money invested in sugar
estates and which difficult to appraise correctly ID the
American element has little to boast about it pays only
26 @ per cent of the personal and raesate of the
Kingdom in their aggregate only 1888 70 than
the share of the despsed Cinnamon and Japanese and only
81 $50 20 than the share of the natives themselves
Moreover composite and unstable nature of the whole
foreign population in which the Anglosaxon factor
exguous does afford the Government any promise of
steady financial status since any movement of emigration
among tho aborers would send the produce of down
to the bedrock of the native elements
further proof of this assertion and of the migratory
unstable nature of the foreign inhabitants of this Arch
paago will be interesting to add here the available Off
