Fate of the Hawaiian newspapers? 1889
[Found under: “NU HOU HAWAII”]
With the publication of the newspaper “Makaainana” this past Wednesday, it is understood that it was its last appearance as a newspaper, and that it would be at rest for all times. There have been many and a multitude of newspapers started in this era by Hawaiians, however, their conclusions have been in devastation. And it is as if the demise of the many newspapers established by Hawaiians has become reason for Hawaiians to waver and not support new newspapers that are started.
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!

Hmmm. Was this the end of the newspaper, Ka Makaainana? 1900.
We have great praise for the fire department for their efforts to save the printing equipment of our fellow newspaper Ka Makaainana, and they saved it indeed from the devouring fires of this past Saturday.

Hawaiian language page added to the Hawaii Herald, 1897.
TO THE HAWAIIANS.
We begin in this issue to print a page in the Hawaiian language, and set aside that page for news, essays, wise discussion, announcements of what is new, as well as notices.
The Rev. Mr. Desha, the kahu of Haili Church, has agreed to edit that page, and we, as well as he believes that this will become something that will encourage the rights of native Hawaiians of the land.
This was our initial wish when establishing this paper. We hope that by this endeavor Hawaiians will realize they also have responsibility in this paper just like the Haole, in sending in their political ideas, and reporting on unfair practices carried out against them.
The columns of this paper are open to all people of Hawaii to send in bits of news, general encouragement, and progressive political ideas. We wish to support Hawaiians and Haole alike toward equal prosperity for all.
We hope that Hawaiians will take delight in welcoming these ideas as we imagined, and that they will give their assistance so that this endeavor will benefit.

The latest from Hilo, 1901.
THE CONDITIONS IN HILO CONTINUOUSLY ON THE RISE.
When the editor [Edward L. Like] of this paper returned for a few short days to the famous rainy land of Hilo, Hanakahi after his being away, to witness the final breath of his cousin, Miss Emmeline Kaleionamoku Nawahi, which she released from this life in the land of their birth. There were many things he reported on pertaining to the fast advancement of that town which took place over the years he was away from the land of his birth.

Ka Oiaio newspaper said that the Paeaina [Ko Hawaii Paeaina] newspaper will perish sometime these day. Hey! “Just like the wish, so too is the desire.” The Paeaina is telling you, O Ailuene Buki [John E. Bush], don’t go off and get stranded in that desire. When Ka Oiaio is being buried in the grave of Ka Hoku o ke Kai, Ke Ola o Hawaii, Ka La o Hawaii, Ka Hoonanea, Na Lani Ehiku, Ka Elele Poakolu, Ka Elele puka la, Ke Alakai o Hawaii and the Makaainana, while the Paeaina continues to move forward, shining a light upon the glory and the good name of Hawaii nei; consistently fending off rebels and those trying to overthrow the nation to make Hawaii lose its independence, so that it can’t grow in the future. E Johnnie! Don’t open up your mouth again lest you get a welt on the forehead from the Paeaina.

A NEW WEEKLY, “KA LEO O KA LEHULEHU”
There will be a new weekly newspaper appearing in Hilo. This information was learned from an announcement to the office of the treasurer of the Territory on the past Saturday morning, in a letter to the office making it known that a weekly, “Ka Leo o ka Lehulehu” was ready to be printed every Friday at the printing office of the Hawaii Herald Publishing Company.
B. H. Kelekolio is the editor of this new newspaper that is making an appearance, and he is the one who established this new paper. It is a newspaper that will be published in the Hawaiian language, and its columns will be filled with only Hawaii news.

Ke Au Hou, 1910.
[Found under: “Nuhou Kuloko”]
On this Saturday, that being tomorrow, appearing will be the newspaper that is bound as a book, Ke Au Hou, from the printing office of the Hawai Shinpo, and not on Wednesday as was said earlier.
[This is not the Ke Au Hou that was published in 1896 and edited by T. P. Spencer. This is the weekly Ke Au Hou owned and edited by John H. Wise, that runs from 5/4/1910 to 2/28/1912.]

Altercation at the Chinese Times, 1896.
[Found under: “NU HOU HAWAII”]
This past Tuesday, an altercation [uulukai] arose in the Chinese newspaper office by the name of Chinese Times [Wah Ha Bo] [華夏報], between Cheng Yat Kai, one of those who holds ownership in that newspaper, and Chung Chang Sing, the editor and also an owner in the paper. The cause was Cheng Yat Kai saying that he would sell all of his interests in the paper, and when Chung Chang Sing and some other Chinese got to the newspaper office to purchase the interests of that Chinese, he refused, and that was when the internal riot began. Cheng Yat Kai was injured by Chang Jan Sing hitting him in the head with a hammer.
