by the correspondent Of the S. r. Chronicle 10 that

the Public has some right 10 know what concerns
the public, IL would be but Justice that at least one
Of the papers should reprint the aforesaid letter, go

the country, or send him trotting out Of the city,

of lies are.

TO Tie Elitor Of 0e Pacific Commercial advertiser \,

DEAR SR II take the liberty TO call your atten-
ton to an article In a periodical The Sugar
Cane " for June 1877, as, no doubt Il would inter-
est many, that do not see that magazine, TO read
the article. 1t is about the The present position
of the West India, Colonies" through importa-
tion Of coolies from India Trinidad and Barbados
have become prosperous. The coolie from a state
of starvation or poverty in India has become
happy in the West Indies he has got a small
land estate " Of bis own, that will descend 10
bis children and he has given up all thoughts Of
ever returning TO his native land. At the same
time the West India planter has got labor Of q cost
that enables him also to prosper in raising sugar.
AS we are situated now on those Islands, labor
IL daily becoming moro and more In demand.
From ten dollars per month for field work we
have now got up to Is 10 10 dollars monthly
wages and going on at this rate we will shortly
find out, that the benefit Of the Treaty will be lost
to the planter.
Planters that would enlarge their crops are
unable TO do so for want OF labor ; and parties,
provided vita capital, ready 10 start new planta.
lions are deferred from 30 doing, because labor IN
not to be had at q reasonable price.
1t seems appropriate al the present time 10 agi-
tate the immigration question. My suggestion 10
you to reproduce the article above referred 20
springs from q desire, that reliable formatl
may be diffused throughout the Islands on a subject
OF so vast an Importance az regards the welfare
of us all. Respectfully Yours, A PLANTER.

SIN Thinking that editors are the proper per-
sons to be burdened with the duty OF ventllatlnR pub
lie grievances. l wish TO lay on your shoulders ours
OF Molokai. And that Is, the steamer, or rather, the
absence Of one from our island. OF what heinous
crime have the people (tax-payers) Of Molokai been
guilty, that the steamer should 80 persistently avoid
the Islandf leaving her people to hnd their way 20
the Capital or Lahaina by boats and canoes, thus e-
posing them TO the danger Of being capsized. There
has been a good deal Of loss Of life In that way. To
be sure, such lives may not have been considered very
valuable, as the fact Of having a lepcr settlement on
a small part Of the Island, seems 10 have cast q stlg-
ma on the whole. One Of the public idols. once ours
cent on Molokai," and that IL was unnecessary for
the Royal Commissioner to visit Der as thers was no
chance OF starting large plantations here.
II has always been q mistaken belief OF the people
that the steamer was run by the Government, NOT
as a money-making speculation, but purely for the
benefit Of the public.
There are some two or three thonSand OF that pub
lie here that never have anything 10 do with the
steamer otherwise than 10 pay taxes, which I sup
pose goes proportionately towards her support.
The harbours are large and safe enough for any
but an ignorant OF drunken captain.
No other island Of the group needs her more, for
IL has happened, frequently, that there has been no
direct communication with Honolulu for four or Ave
weeks. snfH
Her industries are almost all. 40 yet, In an embryo
condition, thus Ii does't pay ship owners TO keep q
vessel running regular TO this island. Here 10 q
chance for the Government 10 step In and encourage
struggling enterprise by the most legitimate means
Of extending to her the benefits Of steamer oommun-
~nication. MoLoKAI.

LARCENY OF A BoAT.-It may perhaps be more
properly designated piracy, and the story We are
about to relate be called q romance. We regret that
space will not allow Of particular detail or reportorial
embelishment. Mr.. W. L. Wilcox is the owner Of q
nice sail boat, which he keeps moored OF the end Of
the esplanade. Some time during Wednesday night
last she disappeared from her place, and on Thursday,
q coaster coming into port from leeward reported
having seen the boat " daWdling'' along towards
Waianae, with a man on board. The owner Of the
pirated boat thereupon put to sea in another craft in
search of his properly. He bad no difficulty in over
hauling the pirate, who was no doubt exhausted
from want of sleep, and was allowing his ship to drift
at the mercy Of the winds and waves. But when
called upon to surrender, apparently with more
bravery than discretion he showed fight with the til
Ter, and was only induced to haul down his colora
By the presentation Of q revolver at short range, and
thereupon he became the very reverse Of brave, was
ironed and brought to Honolulu. Oar reporter,
who interviewed him at the station house yesterday
the name he gave-is more kusye than fool, al
though he displays some of the qualities Of both. He
says be was born in Liverpool is only sixteen years
Of age evidently 26 at least) is an orphan meant
to run away from the abeoaa, q British ship dis
charging at the esplanade put his chest and clothes
on board the boat for the purpose OF subsequently
removing them to the shore but that by some meana
the boat got unmoored and drifted out to sea With
him 90 that the boat stole the man, in fact. How
ever 1t was q most dangerous and fool-hardy enter
prise, for with the strong trade winds almost con-
stantly blowing here, he was very liable to have gone
of on the trackless bosom Of the wide Pacific, with
out food or water. The case viii probably come mp
in the Police Court this morning.
