Mr.. Mcclellan. Now, Mr.. Chair,
man, I want to come to this question,
of the Implication that the Hawai-.
ian must be treated the same as the
Indian. I want to call your atten-
ltion to the fact, gentlemen, that the
Indian has always been the ward OF
this Government; that the Indian in
no case has ever had any such thing
as a form Of civilized government
under constitution, or y govern
ment in the civilized sense at all.
The Hawaiians. on the contrary.
had their own government, and they,
carried 1t on In such way that
when the Organic Act was. under
consideration and the debate was on,
Senator Cullom, Senator Morgan,
and Mr.. Hit, OF the commission who

the fact again and again that few
: changes were necessary in the laws
; of Hawaii because of the highly sat
isfactory operation of the govern.
: ment then existing. Those are the
facts with reference to the situa.
} ton at that time. But Mr.. woolley
has sought to give the impression
here that since the annexation. or
} rather since the coming into mower
of Kalakaua. and his allowing the
: sale of LIQUOR To the Hawaiians. that
1 that has been the cause of the death
! and decadence Of the Hawaiian race.
That Is the general statement that
facts? The abatement Of Captain
. Cook. when he discovered the Ha-
waiian Islands was that there were
4OO, 900 natives at that time. Mark
:, you. the sale Of liquor to the mass
I OF the Hawaiians was never legal
r lied until the reign OF Kalakaua,
!. say in 1880. Up to that time the
: number of Hawaiians had decreased
8 from 100000
Senator Piles VIII YOU state
9 that again. please?
I'll Mr.. Mcclellan. There were 400.
i 600 natives at the time Captain Cool
discovered the Hawaiian islands. OF
