HILO HawaiD, Aug. 13.-The second
newspaper of Hilo put in its first ap-
pearance today, and among other things
has this much to say for itself: For
years the Island of Hawaii has been in
need of a newspaper, and the abortion
recently foisted on a suffering public
by the establishment of an eXtrava-
ganza devoted to the exclusive personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of supercilious, top
lofty aggregation of the yeriest syco-
plants, whom pelf and pride hold in
abject servitude, has made this paper
necessary. That Conservative Cd or
gan by it's cruel, bitter, spiteful words,
cowardly insinuations and the eructa-
tions of the eXtravagant mingles who
cluster around it, has created an aching
void in the great heart of the island
populace for a real newspaper.
IL will advocate that corporate infiu-
ences be eliminated from the public
service and the domination of public
affairs. 1t will advocate that in MAX
ing selections for public service brains,
instead of relationship and other faml-
ly influences, may be hereafter regard
ed as the s-tandard by which the appl1-
cant is to be judged. This and much
more is contained in the editors salu-
tatory which seeks to set forth the aims
and aspirations, as we'll as the policy
of the new paper.
