advertise find themselves distanced !
by those who wisely helped their
paper to spread wide the tidings
unto the ends of the earth. The |
reason for this is not hard to find, |
for a paper properly conducted with
o man Of experience and reputation
directing the editorial pen carries
with its utterances ten thousand
times more influence than can be
possibly carried by spasmodic effort
whereby a part of the cost is paid
by some fellows picture or the pic
ture of his house. Any of our cil-
zens who are in business can adver.
tise in the proper column of paper
what he pleascs and it is never fully
believed, but whatever appears in
in its editorial columns is regarded
as correct and accepted as such"

bly, entered the field let il continue
the fight. The publishers are gen
tlemen of business whose interests
are in Hawaii Nei and who have
spent their money freely, and every
resident on the Islands has been be-
netitted by it's work. Some say that
what we want is sugar plantations,
such as we have enough of already.
One man whom l will be bound
never had any business other
than that of an overseer Of a plan
tation and whose eyes cannot see
further than the boundaries of
his present employers land and has
probably never been inside Of ci4y
as large as San Francisco or Homo
lnlu, only when he was forced to
pass through them, when en- route
from his squatter cabin to the house
he now occupies, says that one plan
| tation is worth more than thousands
of tourists. This man must proba-
bly, judge others by himself, for it
is quite likely that when he came
from his birthplace he came in an
emigrant car to San Francisco, and
then in the stecrage Of the Suez to
Honolulu, taking deck passage to
the plantation where he still 1ssides.
In contrast to such men let me call
attention TO q couple of tourists or
rather health-seekers, Mr. +.
+. Wright and Mr.. f. Ramage, who
came here in April, staying till No
vember of last year. These two
men spent over $1,000, which were
distributed pretty generally over the
islands. On the last steamer the
Alameda going from the Colonies to
San Francisco a Mr. Ward of Stock
ton, who had spent six weeks here
departed welI-pleased with the ISL
ands, but he nevertheless spent over
| 81, 400 while here. These are but
an example of the whole.
Another says sit is in the interest
of the steamship people. Well, if that
were so does it detract from its
benefits? Would the Honolulu Iron
Works like to have the steamers
cease running? If they did there
would be a great many hungry mer
in Hawaii nei.
Another said to the writer the
other day "The aid coming to the
Paradise Of the Pacific wont come
now because the best friend these
islands ever had is passed away tC
his weIl-earned reward. Can this
be true?
Rumor says again that the ait
promised to the publisher for adver
tising the islands and which was
asked for by many of the Taxpayers
would be refused because the amoun
has been transferred to make roaC
, up Punchbowl Hill, and this is tn
reason why others are likely to sc
$500 for pamphlet.
Let us see, the amount asked TO
e the paper was 1000. The Punch
e bowl road costs $4,000 and tn
q pamphlet 1900, that also make
$1,000. Rather singular, to say tn
least.
