Hawaiian Hardware Comp'y.

Angust 30, 1894. Tue thoasands ttnd thosauds of ■ peopie who read tbe daily papers and got the news happenings from tbe fonr quarters of eartb, do so with little thougbt of the expense attacbed to getting ont a paper and the trials and tribulations of the editor and freqnent loss of money to the owners. Tbe difficnlties whieh be set Uie patbs of newspaper people vary according to locaiity; in the Nothern States, where there are ‘nine mflhths winter and three months very late fall,” it frequently happena that tho roads ure biockaded with snow, just about the time the paper supply is eihausted, so the editor has to fall i back on his polished-snrface j book paper to get out his edition. In Vickaburg, Missisippi, away haek in the sixties an entire stock of wull paper was used in getting out a weokly paper, uewspaper was not obtainable. In some places the peoplo will demand a maximum of news, ; telegraphic and loeal at a minimnm price, and then want to pay their subscriptiou and advertisiug bills in wood or vegetables. ! 1 But when Saturday night comes around the gentle and ungentlo compositor rebels, when he is offered anything, bnt eoin in payment for his services, and this 1 accounts for the fact that half the editors iu Uuited States are j troubled with insomnia. We have known compositors in eoun- ! ; try towns to actua!ly refuse to 1 i live ou a diet of roller composiand strike if the editor would not 1 , divide the couteuts of the paste | pot. In Honolulu, things are differ- 1 i eot; paper is mannfaotured in 1 j California, and the oeeau never ’ ; freezes so hard that the vessel can’t run, so there is uo delay : there iu getting a stock of paper; : | the “typos” usnally meet the i business Managers on Saturday ! with a broad smile whieh they j i give in exchange for good gold , eoin, and the editors who do not i wear soarch lights in their shirt I fronts leave them off, because they do not wish to be mistaken by tourists for capitalists. The compositors, too, ure of a better class thau you will find on the i Pacific Coast; they dress better, ltve better and aro better citizens thau yon will find in other placēs, eveu at twelve and a half cent beer i is not indncement enongh for them to take on '‘jag.’' If there is anything that will set otfthe appearance of a home, i a good hanging Lamps is tho i thing. We have a new stock of Lamps that is so varied in styles 1 and prices tbat we eun suit the taste£ »nd purses of everyone. ; The burners, whieh is really [ moro important than the decora- | tions, have been selected with a to securing the most powerful light with the Ieast possible amount of heat. We cffer these to the pohlie at prices sufficiently low to induco more people to buy than we have Lamps to sell.
