been focused on India on account of the
action Of the Indian council suspending

in America. About ten years since the
New York World set the pace and
some three or four years ago the New
York journal outdid the World. AT
about the time the Journal began its
campaign of sensationa,ism the San
Francisco Examiner commenced to
cast a lurid glare over the journalistic
field ON the Pacific coast, These three
papers have given a great impetus to
the sort of journalism which Dana
admitted to be one of the greatest

POPULATION OF HAWAII.

In replying to objections offered to
the annexation of Hawaii on the
ground that the population of the lit
tie republic, would produce extensive
and very undesirable competition with
American labor the Sacramento Rec
ord-Union gives the following figures:
The total population of the Hawaiian
islands is 100000. of this number
81 900 are natives, $4,000 are Japanese,
$4,000 are Chinese, 5000 are Portuguese,
5000 are Americans. 1900 are sub
jects of Great Britain, while the rest
are miscellaneous.
IN 1876 an official census showed
that there We're about 10000 native
Hawaians. Since that time they have
diminished at the rate of 1000 year
so that in thirty years at that rate
they will disappear
The Record Union claims that the
native Hawaiians are largely engaged
in fishing. and do not care to engage
in other kinds of labor; that as soon
as annexation Is consummated all
contracts under which foreign laborers
are employed would cease to be oper-
alive, would, in fact. become unlawful,
and the laborers would be deported
In this way the islands would be re-
lieved of their Monaghan inhabitants,
and the Record-Un claims that they
would afford employment for many
American laborers. 1t says: "If the
islands are put under American rule
with a stable government established
and the rights of property well Sc
cured, there will be opened opportunity
for the employment of about 10000
workmen."
This heavy demand for American
laborers would be created by the de-
portation of $4,000 Chinese and Japan
ese. and the impetus with which the
resources of the islands would be de-
veloped under American rule. The
showing which our Sacramento CO.
temporary makes is certainly well cal
culated to disarm the hostility of the
laboring classes on the Pacific coast
to the annexation of the islands.
There IL n world of sadness in the
statement which shows the rate at
which the native population Is being
decimated; and undeniably the Stats
