TIsER is Credit to Hawaiian jour
naiism, or that it represents in the
fullest sense the progress and intelli-

The p. G.. ADVERTISER should go
into every household, because it is a
"clean sheet" 1t does not sell its
columns for the dissemination of
vicious advertising notices, neither
does it publish anything which the
most fastidious could object to. In
this important particular, as well as
in honest reporting and unprecedented
comments, the p. c. ADVERTISER
stands alone among Honolulu news
papers.
Furthermore, it is our settled pur-
pose that the daily or weekly publ
cation of the ADVERTISER shall be
found in the home of every English
speaking family in the Kingdom. 1t
is only question of very short
time when this will be the case,
through the admitted superiority of
our paper over all rivals.
We shall continue to furnish copi-
Gus reports of the worlds news upon
the arrival of every steamer and vessel
from the Pacific Coast bringing later
dates. Our local reports, now so full

2. G., ADVERTISER should be largely
increased consequent upon the reduc-
ton in price. AS medium for adj

range of competition, and all who
may wish to address the public in
this way must of necessity use its col
umns for that purpose.
Now is the time to subscribe for the
daily p. G.. ADVERTISER. Monthly
subscription, so cents; single copy,
5 cents.
