They readily assimilate with and take on American ways and manners. Many of them are supporters of the Republic and advocates of annexation. A majority of the present House of Representatives consists of fullblood native Hawaiians. The speaker of the House is a native. The Chinese and Japanese are industrious and peaceable citizens. and as they are not permitted to enter into political matters or control. no danger can come to this country from so small a number. As heretofore stated. the matter of future immigration is guarded against. They are now aliens in Hawaii and not eligible to become citizens. Annexation will not enlarge their civil rights.
