HILO, (Hawaii), Feb. 5.-Hilo has
been treated to real live sensation
iu the way of newspaper publication.
1t is certainly matter of deep regret
with the directors of the Hiio Tribune
that such matter as was puollshed Ia
the February 1st number of the paper
should ever have been submitted to
the public. Had the editor been al
lowed to continue his writings we
hight have had second Hawaiian
but with such prospects staring them
fu the face, the directors took 1mme-
diate steps to prevent the repetition
of the publication of such scandalous
items as "Straws," "Relics of Mon
archy," and the like, by demanding
that the editor, Payson Caldwell,
| hand in his resignation at once.
Tt has been whispered about that
tsshanty row. on Front street, south
of the Pioneer News Company's store,
is to be leveled to the ground, and
that on the valuable site, now occu-
pied by the shanties, is to be erected
a series of more stupendous structures.
The location is of course the most
central for business purpose and no
| doubt would find ready tenants among
prominent merchants who must
| now be content with almost any ram
shackle building. 1t is hoped the
hiay is moi far off when Front street
will be rid of all its shanties that now
make that business thoroughfare any
thing but attractive in appearance
The STREET itself is being we'll graded,
but the work proceeds slowly:
The old Coney house has been re-
painted and thoroughly Overhau'ed
by the new lessee, Charles A. Fur
neaux, the worthy consular agent,
who has sublet portions of the house
to Mr.. Little and Joseph Vierra. The
latter has furnished the rooms to be
used i'm connection with his hotel to
better accommodate the many tourists
who are constantly going and coming.
