Death of James Makee.

This old pioneer planter expired at his residence in
this city on Tuesday last, in the 9th year Of his age, he
having been born November oath, 1912, In the town Of
woburn, Massachusetts. He first arrived at these Islands
in 1913, in command of the sperm whAler Maine, having
been compelled to put into this port for medical assist
ance. During the voyage having entered the port of La
haina, the steward Of the vessel, = Spsniard Of Guam, at
tackedfhe Captain while he was asleep in the cabin, and
cut him fearfully about the head and body, and evidently
supposing that he had effected his murderous purpose
rushed on deck and jumped overheard when the vessel
was OF Diamond Head, and drowned. naturally strong
constitution favored Captain Makee's recovery from his
injuries, but they were so serious that he gave up the Vo-
cation Of a ~ship-master, and entered into business first
in the California trade and Afterwards in Honolulu "a .
merchant. The firm Of Jones & Makee, which subss-
quently became Makee. Anthem & Co, in the building now
occupied by Lyman Bros, on Merchant street, were for q
number Of years very popular and successful ship-ehand-
Iers. There could be found congregated the New Bedford
and New London whaling shippers. spinning wonderful
yarns, interIarded with strange oaths. After retiring
from business as q merchant. Capt. MAkee purchased the
estate OF Ulupalakua. in East Maui, and commenced the
cultivation OF sugar. As an agriculturist, he has done
more for the natural progress Of these Islands than per-
hAps any other man. With his own hands he planted
many thousand trees Of the eucalyptus varieties, at Ulu-
pslakus. He was 3 patriotic American, in every sense Of
the word. In 1862, during the darkest period OF the civil
war, he sent one hundred barrels Of mOlAsses to his agent
at San Francisco with instructions to sell the same and
forward the proceeds to Washington, as his contribution
for the prosecution Of the war. Energetic, thoroughly

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial advertiser:
Mine eyes have beheId 3 strange thing in the earth. and
I do greatly wonder.
1st-Becsuse this community is 50 superbly patient.
2nd.-Because Postomce officials at San Francisco are
so considerAte of the feelings and business necessities Of
the Island community.
sd.-Beeause such interest is shown by the proper
Island officials in devising improved mail fac%i lities, and
such AlAcrity is manifest in putting into operation what
the public at large SO greatly desire.
It is cheering to contemplate that we are not nifty years
behind the age.
How strange it would seem in these days of commercial
Importance for Honolulu merchants to get their coast
mail via Hilo ave days after the P. Ms steamer sailed
gracefully out OF the hArbOrl How quite vexatious it
would be to plantation men getting their mail at Hilo to
find = sailing vessel with their goods, and-dte mail
which must needs go to Honolulu and return before
being opened How annoying and tantalizing would it
be in these days of rapid and efficient mail communication
for q whole community to look through the bars at fat
bags containing choice reading matter and letters of
domestic importsnce,-to look at such for two days and
then to see them kicked into 9 boat. and sent on a Ave
hundred mile cruise to return in one week,-if something
shouldn't prevent.
It is occasion for gratitude, deep and heartfelt, that in
our time we are not thus bothered, as perhaps our grand
fathers were before the day Of steamships, or as perhaps
the Boorahboolahgahs are now.
should it ever. by any curious concatenstion of cir
culnstsnces, 50 happen that any of the above suggestions
come true. 1 am reasonably certain Of three things which
lie quite clearly in my mind. viz.
Ist.-This Immunity would take 1t for granted that
such infection WAS 4 blessing.
2nd.-The skirts of the Post-Ofhce officials at San
Francisco would be quite clean; for are they not already
famed for their considerateness and scumenf
3d.-Our Island officials could but be praised for their
interest in the public wants and their alacrity in serving
them.

CHICAGO, August pa Chinese g-house
was pulled Lost night and Sam Wing, the proprietor,
and fourteen Of the inmates were arrested. The
police captured . lot Of cards, dominos. tin chips and
small Chinese coins- This morning Alb Wung. an
educated Chinaman engaged in the tea business, ap-
dants. All Wung made an eloquent appeal in thsir
behalf. He said that Americans, Germans and Irish
have their amusemsnts and even old maids have
their recrsstions. but the Chinese have none and
they have to muse themselves in their own peculiar
ways. They sometimes play cards for amusement
and occasionally for small stakes 10 order to raise
money to pay the way Of their impecunious country
men back home. and Last evening they we're playing
for the benefit Of Lung All Sing. The Chinese, All
Wung said, were kind-hearted, benevolent, oharita-
BILE people, and, although there were III men in
Chicago, there were no women to relieve the mono
tony. They, however. expect to import some women
as soon as they are able. The Celestials were dis
charged and their apparatus was returned to them.

The Gravity of the Chinese Question.

From the Record Union.l
The course of the hybrid faction which calls it
self the New Constitution Party, is calculated to
create the impression that there has never been
any reality in the anti-Chinese sentiment OF Cali
tornia. The nomination of DR.. Glenn is, in fact, a
downright assertion of the insincerity of that senti-
ment, tor 1t rests upon the assumption that the
most notosious and conspicuous reference for
Chinese labor is not likely to in5ure the prospects
of a candidate. The people OF California, how
ever, cannot afford to leave this issue in doubt.
Whatever demagogues may affect to think 1t Is.
next to land monopoly, the most serious subject
before the community to-day. Nor is it only the
laboring classes whose welfare is concerned in an
enlightened disposition Of it. There are no classes
save the small minority of rich men whose inter-
ests are not deeply affected by il. and who are not
bound by every consideration of selfinterest as
we'll as of patriotism to aid in securing the State
from the Monaghan invasion. And 1t Is necessary
to point out that in a contest of this kind indiffer-
ence and procrastination means defeat for Ameri-
can interests. Hitherto the white voters who are
sensible enough to realize their danger have pos
sessed the power to assert themselves at the polls.
But they cannot long retain this power il nothing
is done to check Chinese immigration. The cleo
ton of a man representing the preference for Chi
nese labor, as DR.. Glenn does, would most certain
ly postpone all practical remedies for four years.
While he was Governor it would be vain to expect
relief. He would be bound by his selfish interests
to veto every bill looking to a solution OF the
problem. and he would throw all the weight OF his
administration against the people and in favor of
the Chinese. The latter, thus encouraged and re-
assured, would swarm into the State more thickly
than ever. The intelligence would soon reach
Hongkong that a Governor who believed in their
race had been elected. and they would hasten to
avail themselves of the change-in their prospects.
Those four years would double and perhaps quad
ripple the Chinese population of California, and the
result would be the driving out OF white labor.
Silently and swiftly the cheap Chinese would
grasp and control every avenue of labor. They
would ~supplant white men in the fields. at the
forge, in the factory. behind the counter, even in
retail trade. And as they came the white working
classes wonld have to go. They could not hold
out against this barbarious horde. backed as it
would then be by the political power of the State.
They could not sit down and keep up the fight
while they were starving. They would be COM
PEELED to abandon the hopeless undertaking. and
to go back East. where at least they need only
fear the competition of their own race.

Kohala.

Mr.. EDITOR: A short time ago while passing
through Kohals, Hawaii, L was impressed with sew
ersl disadvantages which the people living there la
Dor under. There is much in Kohala which is very
pleasing. The evidences of enterprise. thrift, and the
air Of satisfaction which seems to pervade the place
are delightful. But the roads are not what they
ought to be. All through Kohsls q spesk'of the
section in which the plantations lie) the country is
cut up Witk prseipitous little valleys or gulches, and
the manner in which the main public road has been
laid through these valleys shows in many places
want Of Judgment. There seems to have been q desire
to make the road nearly in . direct line, causing very
steep deseents and accents. Whereas il the cuts on
the sides Of the valleys had been made more oblique-
ly, gentle grades could have been obtained.
There we're evidences Of recent work having been
done in cutting down some Of the steep banks, which
certainly must have been an Improvement. But
this kind Of work il laborious and expensive, and in
the end 10 not as desirable rs making more circuit
Gus but easier grades.
Then it seems very important that better means of
communication should be had, not only between the
plantations. but also to the landing at MahukonA.
1t has been shown on Maui. and also on Kauai, that
9 telegraph wire with telephones can be constructed
at q cost Of not more than seventy-fve dollars . mile.
On Maui the principal villages from Lahsina to
Makswao have been connected by . wire Of this
kind, and nearly every planter. and many Of the
other residents, have telephones in their Offices. and
within the last two years it has proved to be indis-
penssbls. A little enterprise and small outlay in
this way would be Of great value to the growing dis
trict Of Kohala.
And then there ia room for great Improvement in
the few express wagons which carry passengers and
freight to KOhsla. The clumsy Wagons they now
have, without covers. or backs, or cushions to the
seats, compare very poorly with the express Wagons
at Wailnku. Lahsins, and Hilo.
While there is 90 much to commend and admire at
KOhAla. the stranger is much impressed with the
necessity for the improvements which 1 have alluded
to. Yousr So, TRAVELLER.
