GREAT GROWTH OF HAWAII
INCREASED OVER FORTY THOUSAND
IN -FOUR YEARS.
During the Last Ten Years There Has
of Over Seventy Per Cent.

! Director Merriam of the census office is
sued bulletin today announcing the popu-
lation of Hawaii to be 154,O01, showing an
increase of 4,9S1 since 1896.
The first census Of the Hawaiian Islands
| was taken in 1882, and was followed by
censuses in 1885, 1850, 1853 and 1860. These
censuses are said to have been very sim
pie and rudimentary in character, and a
census taken at regular periods was not
provided for until 1865, when the legisla-
tive assembly made it the duty of the
board of education every sixth year, count
ing from the year 1860 to make complete
census Of the Inhabitants of the kingdom,
to be laid before the king and legislature for
their consideration
Under the terms of this requirement a
census Of the Hawaiian Islands was taken
every six years from 1866 to 1896. inclusive.
The present census, that of 1900. has been
taken as part of the work of the twelfth
census of the United States, the director OF
the census having been authorized and di-
rected by section of the census act to
make suitable provisions for the enumera-
ton of the population and products of the
Hawaiian Islands, and to employ for the
purpose either supervisors and enumerators
or special agents, as he should deem neces-
sary.
Inc census OF ftaWau was accordingly
taken by special agents. under the super
vision of Mr.. Alatan T. Atkinson. as chief
special agent Mr.. Atkinson having pre-
viously served as the general superintend-
ent of the Hawaiian census in 1886.
The first census Of the Hawaiian Islands,
taken in 1892 showed a population Of $780,
313, but each succeeding census up to and
including 1872 showed a loss. the census
returns In 1872 giving population OF only
58 S07, representing a loss since 1S32 OF 13,
416, or 56.3 per cent.
The census Of 1878 showed only a slight
increase over that Of 1872, but during the
next six years the population increased
rapidly, and the census of 1884 showed a
population Of SO, 57S, or an increase since
1878 Of very nearly 80 per cent From 1884
to 1890 the population of the islands in
creased 11.6 per cent, and from 1890 to 1896,
21.1 per cent, giving a population in 1896 Of
100, ,O2O.
During the four years from 1896 to 1900
the percentage of increase has nearly dou-
bled, the present census showing a popula-
ton of 154 0O1, representing an increase
over that reported in 1895 of 44,9S1. or Alp
per cent. During the last ten years. from
1880 to 1900, or substantially the same in
terval as for the census Of the United
States proper, there has been an increase
in population of 64,011, or Ill per cent.
The total land surface of the Hawaiian
Islands is. approximately, 6.449 square
miles, the average number Of persons to
the square mile at the last three censuses
being as follows: 1890, 1879; 1896. 16.9; 1900,

The population of the city Of Honolulu Is
crease of 1880, 71.5 per cent. In 1896
the population was 29,920, and the present
census shows an increase since that time
of 1856. or BIB per cent.

The Russian embassy has received no ad-

emperor in southern Europe is said to be an
additional reason for expecting an early
recovery.
In French. British and other foreign quar-

preston is general that an unfavorable turn
would be calamity to the world at large

BRYAN's PARAMOUNrNEsS.

In 1890 the paramount 'ssue in the
eyes of Mr.. Bryan was free trade. He
denounced the protection idea and dt-
clared that the country could not con
tinue prosperous under protective
tariff
In 1892 he added free silver to his
paramount Issues just as he couples
imperialism and mllitarism together
now.
In 1894 he dropped free trade aud
made the free coinage of silver para.
mount of paramount issues.
This paramountness lasted through
the campaign of 1898, but it did not pan
nut as he hoped and 80 he influenced
the United States senate to ratify the
treaty of Paris that he might create an.
other paramount issre to do politics ON.
What next?
There are indications that the para.
mount issues OF imperialism and mill
tarism have been badly punctured and
are bobbing on fat tiers. The ancient
paramountuess of free silver would be
forgotten if Republicans would consent
TO let it be forgotten and from this time
OIL the paramount howl of Organism
will be the trusts.
Mr.. Bryan excells many men in mauy
particulars, but he excells none of them
n nothing more than in the readiness
with which he can be off with an old
political love aud op with new.
