The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1882-04-22
PROSPE CTUS
DAILY
Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
OF THE

The scheme of a daily Issue of news
from the press has long been enter
tanned in Honolulu. In 1866. Mr..
Ayres formerly associated with the San
Francisco Cau. tried the experiment
of Il daily paper in this city, and is
sued the Honolulu Duly Herald. But
the business Interests of the country
were too much depressed at the time;
there wa not then established that
frequency of communication with the
outer world, TO warrant the support
of a daily in the islands: and the pro-
prietOr and editor being AN entire strau-
ger in the country, the Honolulu Duly
Herald had but a short and sickly eX-
~istence, and soon died out.
The former ProprietOrs of the +. G..
ADVERTISER which was established III
1856 as a weekly sheet, issued a small
1semi-weekly sheet-in- 1872; and the
present management have felt the ne
cessity from time TO time of making,
through extras and supplements, Il
mOr frequent communication of news
to their patrons than through the me
dunn of their regular weekly issue;
and it has been in contemplation for
some time past, that in the event of
cable communication with the cont.
nent, and of increased steam cOmmu-
nications with all parts of the world,
that there would then arise AN oppor-
tunity for a daily newspaper in Homo
lulu which might be remunerative.
However, it happens, that before the
laying of "A cable. or the accomplish
ment of other notable events, that were
to have IA bearing upon newspaper en-
terprise, that this spirit of enterprise
as represented by the present manage
ment of the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL AD-
~vERTIsER, feels that there is Il demand
for more frequent communication of
news to the public, to which they
promptly respond.
The present management of this
journal contemplated Il daily issue ut
the beginning of this year; but for
want of stock and compositors, was
compelled to defer action, on Il proper
scale of journalism, to meet the re-
~quirements of the public.
At this time, it will be difficult to
show, in considering the small Eng
lish speaking population of this city,
n that a subscription list for ii daily
issue of a full newspaper sheet OF
more than 500 subscribers can hardly
be expected. that Il daily paper can at
this time be made a remunerative en-
terprise. 1t Is not expected that it
will be remnnerative for some time to
come; but there are now some especial
claims upon the attention of faithful
uews-men; there is an increased bust
ness activity, owing to increasing pro-
ductiOn; more frequent communicl-
tons with the outer world, bringing
news of moment to our islands; and
there is about to assemble the Le9is-
lature of the Kingdom, whose proceed
ings are expected to have some eXcep-
tional interest for the community;
therefore the T.. &. ADVERTISER Man
agement as faithful newsmen are de-
termined to risk Il sacrifice of time,
effort and means, in order to meet the
occasion, and to satisfy an expectant
public, with the hope of deserving a
liberal patronage.
The L. &. ADVERTISER Management
o propose to issue daily except Sun
day, on and after May l next, Il full
sheet 24x36 inches, of four pages con-
tanning "a columns, to be styled the
