America is the nation of the people. and to become of the people of America it suffices to be man. Do the inhabitants of Hawaii rise to the high requirements of American citizenship? In 1896 there were 109.020 inhabitants in the Hawaiian Islands. Of these there were 31.019 fullblooded Hawaiians. 8.435 part Hawaiians. 24.407 Japanese. 21.616 Chinese. 15.191 Portuguese. 2.266 Americans. and 1.538 subjects of Great Britain. From these figures it vill be seen that the three important races. numerically. in the islands are the Hawaiians proper. the Mongolians. and the socalled Portuguese. These three races figure 100.000 out of a populationof 109.000. The Hawaiian is an insouciant. indolent creature.
