MAKAwAo, July 18th, 1877

To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
DEAR SIR I'm your issue of the 23d ult. , / think
injustice is done to both mill-owners and producers
of cane in your remarks on the :" Cooperative sys-
tenn in regard to weighing the cane as it comes to
the mill, and thus :" relieve the cane grower from all
unpleasant suspicion Of being cheated"
Now, Dear Sir, / am a cane grower on q small
scale, and 1 believe the only one in this district, and
il has been limited that 1 was the originator Of the
| above idea. which (while I am glad TO see anything
in regard to the cultivation Of cane freely discussed
in the public journals) ia the reason for my ~criticiz-
ing those remarks.
1 contend that the simple use of the word q cheat
ed /" or " suspicion Of being cheated''' is calculated
to destroy confidence between the grower and mill
owner.
If a party thinks be will not be fairly dealt with
he had better {" take his pigs to another market"
Your plan would no doubt be the only proper one,
in the case of many persons living near a mill, and
planting q few hills of cane that they wished to dis
pose of for cash, or exchange for sugar-but q per-
son having one or two hundred acres Of cane TO grind
would be very apt to have his " suspicious 81 aroused
if he knew every load of his crop had to be driven on
the scales and weighed, and the weight Of the cart
deducted from it. As it is now, the only parties in
terested are the mill-owner, the cane grower and the
sugar boiler.
The cane is cut and taken to the mill under the
supervision of the grower (and perhaps the owner),
to see that it is properly and economically done, and
that is the last that either of those parties see of it
until it is manufactured into sugar, packed in con-
tanners and weighed by the sugar boiler. 1t is the
sugar boilers interest, for his own reputation, to
produce all the sugar he can from the juice; but it
is neither his or his employers interest to mark 100
lbs on a keg that contains 100 lbs Of sugar, for the
cane grower will perhaps never touch one pound Of
it, but merely settle his interest with the mill-owner
by the sugar boilers figures.
In conclusion, I beg to rise and explain that the
weighing system is not to the interest of the
CAEE-0RowER.
1.-THE remark Of our correspondent that Your
(our) plan would no doubt be the only proper one
in the case of many persons living near a mill and
planting a few hills of cane, that they wish to dis
pose of for caah or exchange for sugar "--covers all
we have to say ON the subject, and all we intended
to convey.-ED. P. c.. Al

At 8 o'clock last night the stean-tug Mlton
Griffin, belonging to The Pacific Mall Steamship
Company with Henry 3. Williams, Esq, Messrs.
Dimond, Taylor, Reed and others from the Office
of the Mail Company, besides a number Of invited
guests, including ladies.) left the wharf Of the
Company to " assist " at the launch Of the steamer
just built by the Risdon Iron Works for the Ha-
waiian Government. Arriving at the scene Of the
launch at Bis p. m, the carpenters were found to
be busy wedging up and splitting out the blocks
upon which the beautiful vessel rested. The moon
being obscured by clouds, we could not see the
Grst movements very distinctly, but it was light
enough at $40 P. N. to see her sliding gracefully
from the ways, though there was not sufficient
water TO float her and she struck in the mud after
reaching her length. The Milton Griffin being
hailed from the steamer. was requested TO give
them a hawser, and the directors Of the excursion,
recognizing that the pleasure OF the party would
be enhanced by making the tug Of service,
promptly responded and successfully towed the
steamer a6oat, where abe rode the water as
placidly as If that element had always been her
surroundings. After performing such opportpne
service the Mlton Griffin steamed back TO her
wharf. and the whole company we're invited TO the
p. NJ. S. S. Co.'s Offices. where q 6ne lunch was
spread, end the night trip on the bay having
sharpened the appetites, all did justice to the
spread, drinking. In sparkling champagne, earnest
wishes for q brilliant future for the new vessel

Mr.. EDIToR As an employer Of native labor.
1 should feel obliged II you would give a little
space In your valuable paper regarding the work
ing OF the shipping laws, az administered In the
outlying districts on the Island OF Oahu.
In the Rrst place, when a person enRaRea 10
work for months, for a year for instance, the
stamp duty Is at once brought into play, and az. 90
goes TO the government aud 81 90 70 a notary FOR
acknowledging the contract, in all $500.
Then IL the person so engaged begins 10 be iD-
different about working. and you Try 10 enforce
the contract, down comes $500 more for a war
rant. and an airing OF "a miles on horse 20 obtain
the same: When convenient the Judge tries the
case, with the sheriff acting AZ attorney for the
defendant; OF course such counsel must prevail,
for the case Is dismissed. In Owe months hence
the Circuit Judge, will be round, but In the mean
Tune the defendant will have an opportunity 10
ship and perhaps take q trip mp North.
Now since this sort Of thing brings a tolernble
revenue, 1 would like TO ask most respectfully
what part the goyernment plays, besides taklna
the money, aOd whether plain matter Of fact diree
tons ougbt not to be furnished TO those Judges
who do not pretend to be lawyers, 30 that at least
they may not be stumbling blocks ia an age like
the present, K X.

n MAUI DITCH.


Our Makawao friends are justly prttd oil
their new irrigation works, the completion Of
which, celebrated quite appropriately on the 4th
inst. marks q new era in Island agriculture
For with the assured success Of the I" big ditch
on Maui, We may confidently expect in the near
future the commencement Of similar enterprises
in various parts Of the Islands, whereby the
wealth Of water now running 10 waste shall be
made to largely contribute to the national pros
perity. The writer of this paragraph may per-
haps be pardoned for remembering ut this Time,
that in years past and particularly In 1872, he
strongly urged in these columns the plan OF
bringing the waters Of East Maui on to the
Makawao side, at a time too when high officials
Of the government estimated the cost at an enor-
nous sum, and people generally looked upon
the idea as quite utopian. But we hope and
expect to see, within q few years, the completion
of irrigation works on a large scale on all the
islands Of this group. The construction Of such
works by government aid would be a species
Of public improvement the wisdom OF which
would require no defense. A correspondent at
Makawao, writing on the 4th inst. says:
The great display Of the day was at Haiku.
where several hundred Natives and Foreigners
assembled TO celebrate the completion Of the
BIG DITCH, and to see for themselves, the water
from the mountain gushing through great iron
pipes, emptying itself into the ditch, and rolling on
to the valley, and spreading over the cane fields,
making the earth glad with It's presence. The
motto, GRASS GROWS AND WATER RUNS" was
painted on canvas stretched across the principal
avenue flags were flying apparently from every
bush,-the Wailuku brass band was In attendance
and discoursed Screech music. Too much credit
cannot be bestowed on Messrs. Alexander and
Baldwin for their perseverance, aud energy In
completing 30 great and valuable an enterprise"

there was no law that made IL necessary 10 deliver
a copy to the servant. By the stamp act OF 1879 Il
would seem to be implied that two contracts were
intended, but these contracts were made before
that law was passed. The law OF 1868 made Il
obligatory that the contracts should be In both the
native and English languages, and these contracts
were 80 made out, and one contract being exc
cuted legally was sufficient. These men bad

To the Editor Of The Pacific Commercial Advertiser /:
SIR: I beg leave through your columns to make
a suggestion respecting the customary Saturday
afternoon concert of the band, namely, that instead
Of the hour of half-past four, they play at about 9
O'Clock. 1t would be q great pleasure to many Of
US mechanics to hear Berger and his well-trained
hands men, sitting with our families in the pleas
ant shade of Emma Place, but it is obvious that,
leaving of work at four o'clock, we cannot close up
at the shop, get home and make ourselves tidy and
comfortably get to the square in season. 1 think,
too, that the change above proposed would meet
with favor from the people who dine between four
the concert and too late after it. Besides, would il
not be pleasanter for every one to hear music when
the sun is lower and the GOODNESS of evening comes
in, say at an hour to close just before dark

Mr.. EDToR Doubtless you did not design, In
your last issue, TO misrepresent the remarks made
at a recent temperance meeting. And yet no

speakers. There was no "anatbema pronounced

was 1t even implied that the habitual wine
drinker could not be a christian" 1 certainly
have never known a person who entertained any
such views. To me they would be shocking.

doing that which he oonld not do without reason
ing selhshly. He was doing q wrong and un-
worthy thing In view Of present light. He was
not standing up In bis truest manhood, and In
these senses he was doing an unchristian thing.
If, Mr.. Editor, TO do an unchristian thing " doomsn
a man or makes him not a christian, then we all
are doomed and none Of us are christians. We
all do sin, all do unchristian things, and need for
