B —The uoe *rgument appliee to the returns of the Half-castes, vith more especi*lly tho.se two fnrther c«oses of error: That m*ny real Ha!f-castes have been reporteJ in the distant districts, as j«.re Nstires, who oogbt to be transp >seJ to the Half-c«stes aoeouol. Any one «cqu*inteJ with t .e Natires e»n testify ihat thev r©ry easily orerlook .u v >ociJentnI admixture of foreign anJ cuns;Jer tbcmsvlrcs pure Natives wlien brougbt np exoIusĪTelv bv Nat'ves, av«y frona foreign iutl enee; raore*‘ver- vith the oU n»tive rule that the rsnk eaine fr>ra the iuother and JiJ not fn!!ow the fatber,—«very pt>rson who h«s *n Hawaiian mother is Hawaiian to tho fall e\tent. In fact. ne*rlv al! the present native !eaders sre Half c->stes in varion« degree. anJ yet are reaJJv g»*nteJ tl>e inAuenee anJ authoritv of fnll N.»tives.

A gooJ illnstrati»»n of this assertion. out of ra*nv to rav own knowleJge, will be the foll>wing; When a weli-known Amenean Coinmo*iore. iu his exploring expe«lition. maJe the *sceotof the Maanaloa monnlain, he w*s e>cort«Hl bv a tnmp of natives from Pnm; Jnring the trip, he lo»k s f\nov to one of the native g>rls who nine months later g*ve birth to a boy, thns clearly * b*If-caste; but, having been kej>t by his native paronts in Pnna, where ho marrie»l a uative woman anJ reaml an unusnally large fami!v, this man an«l h s chiMren have been ennraerated as pnre Hawaiian*. Yct. a gentleman, a frien*l of mine. who kn»>ws this man wull and has seen the portr>»its of his Anienean father. h*s always beeo struck with the cliaracteristic rosseroblaDce between tbe two. 2nJ. Many ennra«>rHtors Keom to huve been sorely |>uzjIoJ on the qnestiou of the chilJren of Ohinamen married to h;Jf or three qunrter Cbinese-H*v*ii*n women; tl»ese moet certainly onght also to bo ennracrateJ as half caates. as it is a very notioe«ble fact that the tenJencies. tastes. ij»*as and patriotism of half-castes. vhatever may b« their Jegree. and the nationality of the father,—a!ways aml most JeckleJlv bend to their Hawaiian mother's «ide. ConseqoeoUv. in the last Censns, quite a nuraber of these eases hnve erroneously gone to swell the number of Chinese to the Jetriraent uf the half casfe enuraeration. From these varions facls, it i» a safe to concluJe that the figtires of the last Censtts are; Deficienf as* geuera) tot«l for the Nativ««s; Tuo lanp in t’;e ara unt of roporte«l pnre N';,tj v «,s; Too $mallhy two elements. in the number o i ualf castes *nj Too lpryf in the araonnt of Cbinese ch>!Jren.
