Have you seen an issue of this newspaper? Ka Leialii o Hawaii, 1892.

A new newspaper called, Ka Leialii o Hawaii was raised from the grave of the Nupepa Elele which died from lack of greenery needed to survive. A writer of that Leialii says because of the very little salary of the boys of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser Press [Halepai Kalepa] that they are hungry. This is not true because the PCA Press is paying its Hawaiian typesetters high wages from eight to twenty-five dollars a week. The Leialii cannot pay such high wages. Therefore what this writer speaks of is a big lie!

(Kuokoa, 4/23/1892, p. 3)

Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, Buke XXXI, Helu 17, Aoao 3. Aperila 23 1892.
