The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1882-04-29

The scheme of Il daily issue of news
from the press has long been enter
tanned in Honolulu. Ia 1866, Mr..
Ayres formerly associated with the San
Francisco Cal, tried the experiment
of Il daily paper in this city, and is
sued the Honolulu Daily Herald. But
the business interests of the country
were too much depressed at the time;
there was not then established that
frequency of communication with the
outer world, to warrant the support
of ii daily in the islands: and the pro-
prietOr and editor being an entire stran-
ger in the country, the Honolulu Dalty
Herald had but Il short and sickly eX-
istence, and soon died out.
The former Proprietors of the Z. c.
ADVERTISER which was established in
1856 as a weekly sheet, issued a small
semi-weekly sheet in 1872; and the
present management have felt the ne
cessity from time to time of making,
through extras and supplements, a
more 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-
micatiOns with all parts of the world,
that there would then arise an oppor-
unity for a daily newspaper in Homo

as represented by the present manage
ment of the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL AID
VERTIsER, feels that there is a demand
for more frequent communication OF
news to the public, to which they
promptly respond.
The present management OF this
journal contemplated a daily issue al
the beginning of this year; but fol

compelled to defer action, On a proper
