of all births in the cocntrr, orer deaths ean be estimated to abont 1,000, since tbe Cea$cs. so that ihe total popclation ean be placed at 98.884. an increase of 8.894 in 37 months. But in this, ire dow hare a total of 36.477 Asiatics. or 37.35 per cent. of the whole popnlaiion. instead of 30.74giren bv the censns report (Table A). tbe Chinese beirg 15.577 (birtbs not iuclcded> ar.d the Jspanese 30 900 (births incladed>. these Iast having growo from 13.73 }->er eent to 21.13 per cent of tbe whole popnlaiion. and even this proportion has increased sinee Jalv, 1893, by the forther arriv«I of a eonple of thoosand more Japane$e Iaborers. From all the above han.1 facts. it is qnite safe to eonclcde that the mere poiat, that tfae Foreigners—inclading Asiatics—happen to outnamber the Natives, cannot allow the fonner any jnst preponderance over the later, nor does it diminisb tbe uative Sovereignty. So really, outside of their legal iuborn rights, the native portions of the Hawaiian popnlation b-*ing positivelv the on!y ones that are stsble, permanent. tbey are therefore the only elements wortby vf being considered in connection with the fnture of the coantrv and with auy measures that may affect its government. Tbe only eieeplion ihat cou!d be takeo Rgainst this conclosion. is th»t it is useless to have any cousideraticn for » “ doomed race, ’ and this brings us to enqnire into the vexed question of tbe native's vitality.
