MONDAY, SEPTEMBER !, 1885
PROSPECTUS.

Many maintain that the day of
weekly newspapers is past in Honolulu;
that the people want their news and
food for thought fresh with their coffee
every day; and that the people are will
ing to pay for what they want. AT the
very nominal figure established as the
subscription price Of Honolulu Dailies,
fifty cents month, it must be borne in
mind that six or seven hundred, or
even a thousand subscribers is but a
mere bagatelle toward the expense of
conducting newspaper Our adver-
Using rates are not such as would
satisfy our Pacific Coast contempora-
ries, or in fact any but those who labor
for the love of it rather than for profit.
This paper will not be run for glory,
but will conducted on a sound fnan-
cial basis and value received will be
given to its patrons in every case.
We believe that the independent ele-
ments in the community will appreciate
and properly support daily morning
paper that is outspoken and independ-
ent in its utterances.
The DAILY Honolulu PRESS will
be published every morning, Sundays

l.. T. Valentine and Arthur tombstone.

paper will contain twenty-eight columns
including daily average of from six to
eight columns Of local news, editorial
matter and short pithy articles Of general
interest ~ the residents OF the Hawaiian
Islands. 1t will be made distinctively
family newspaper, and will endeavor
10 reach the interests of all classes OF
citizens without introducing the OBJ
jectional features of the newspapers Of
large cities.
The editorial department will be con
Quoted in candid, manly and impair
tial manner, and while political theo
ries and public actions will be care
fullyprobed, and, in many cases, severed,
criticized, the utterances of the paper
will be jealousy guarded and not al
lowed to degenerate into abuse or per
sonal detraction. In the main, edi
torial articles will be short and Away.
