In no part of the world that I am acquainted with has there even been anything approaching to an amalgamation of the Chinese with other races - hundreds of years after Settlement, the Chinese type is still almost paramount among the Chinese population, subduing all the racial elements around it to its own mould and forms.
But among all classes of Chinese, habits of order, respect for authority, and the authority of their recognized leaders - and a universal gregarious spirit leading to every form of association whether meritorious or mischievous are everywhere to be found, and I have no doubt that when we have instruments for directing and controlling these real and valuable elements of Government, they will be turned to useful account.
May, but the progress will necessarily be slow. The prosperity of the Colony has, however, created a class of Chinese daily becoming more influential and opulent to whom we may look for future cooperation, especially in the Departments of Police.
