select some responsible white man.
When a Hawaiian was made treasurer
of the Territory two years ago, he was
advised by some of his Hawaiian
friends not to accept the position. He
was considered an upright and capa-
BILE man, but they feared that his half
Hawaiian blood would not stand the
strain Of handling large sums of mon
ey; and their fears proved correct, for
he soon fed from the islands with
twenty thousand dollars of Territorial
funds.
This weakness of character is very
detrimental to the advancement OF the
race, as it prevents their successi in
any business enterprise. Very few lay
up money with which to buy homes for
themselves or to engage in trade on
their own account. It is the opinion
of those best qualified to know that
there is a slow but steady improvement
in this respect, although the outlook
is still very discouraging.
The general health of the natives,
especially of the fuIl-blooded Hawai-
ians, is far from satisfactory. They
usually have small families, many of
the children die in infancy. and among
the adults consumption and other dis
eases indicating low vitality are preva-
lent. Their total number has been re-
duced from 10000 in 1853 to less than
80. 600 in 1900 The health and vigor of
those of mixed Hawaiian blood is
much superior to that of the pure Ha-
walians. There are two leading types
of these mixed races. the Caucasian
Hawaiian and the Chinese Hawaiian.
Ofsthese, it is the testimony of all OBJ
servers that the Chinese Hawaiians
are the best race, both physically and
mentally. Many centuries of Oriental
civilization under trying conditions
have made the Chinese the most yiri1e,

hardy, Industrious, patient, and thrifty
people of the earth. These qualities,
added to the kind. open-hearted nature
OF the Hawaiians, make very supe-
rior race It is said that Chinese hus-
bands are popular with Hawaiian wo-
men, as they are kind and good pro-
viders for the family. Marriages be-
tween the Hawaiians and other races
are quite frequent, and the number OF
part Hawaiians is steadily Increasing
In 1872 the census gave but l,ss1 part
Hawaiians In 1884 they had inereas-
ed to APIS, and in 1900 to 7.84s. Tne
larger proportion of children among the
part Hawaiians is shown by the statis-
tics of school attendance, which In lSoz
showed 4e03 full blooded Hawaiian
children to a. total population of 2sfS}'
and Q. 1853 part Hawaiian children TO
population of 7,s4S. In other words
the proportion of children is twice az
great among the part Hawaiians as
among those of pure blood These facts
force upon us the conclusion that WITH
| in two or three generations the Hawai-
ians as a type win pass away, and tne
Hawaiian problem will find its soluton
in the gradual absorption OF the ma
tfves into the larger and stronger races.

ready full American citizens, with all
their rights and responsibilities. They
exercise the right of suffrage without
restraint, and as their total vote some-
what outnumbers that of the whites.
they have their. full share of elective
offices in the territorial government
All this responsibility has been thrust
upon race just emerging from bar
barisru. with their moral and intel
lectua1 natures but feebly developed.
The white population of Hawaii adj
vocated the adoption of a restricted
basis of suffrage which should not give
the political control to the natives, and
this view was strongly urged by
Committee of Congress which visited
the islands to study and report on the
situation. II additional argument was
needed as to the wisdom of this course,
it might have been found in the ex-
perience of the carpetbag governments
in the South after the war; but the
opportunity to play the demagogue
was too tempting to be resisted by our
lawmakers, so they deliberately turn
ed the government over to a semi
civilized race It is true that the Ha-
waiians have attended the native
schools and can read and write. put
they have not yet acquired that more
important education which develops
seIf-eontrol, the power to resist temps
tation, and the ability to administer a
public office for the good of the whole
community 1t may be that all the
Caucasian race have not yet attained
to the full measure of this high ideal,
but there can be no question that the
average sense of responsibility is high
er than that of race but two genera
lions removed from savagery. The
| whites have been very patient and
tactful in meeting the trying problem
imposed upon them by Congress. They
| have not resorted to the shotgun poll
cy of the South, nor have they in any
any way interfered with the vote OF
| the Hawaiians They have rather
| sought to cultivate friendly relations
with them, and to defeat bad candi-
dates by uniting with the better ele-
ment of the natives in supporting can
didates of Hawaiian blood who were
/ disposed to do well.
It is a curious sight to visit ses-
sion of the Legislature of Hawaii. In
the lower house fully three-fourths OF
i the members are native Hawaiians,
