A scrambled archive of postal rates and scattered opinion pieces. The text mixes U S postage figures with commentary on political corruption and European royal history, naming Kanehay Meta Cay and the Balkan scene while condemning demagogic excess and warning of conspiracies at the throne.
A historical editorial questions why the Grand Jury failed to investigate alleged irregularities in the Legislature. It argues legislators would resist subpoenas and notes no one from the body was compelled to testify. The piece contends corruption risks and emphasizes innocence until proven guilty, while criticizing calls for immediate accountability without solid evidence.
A garbled passage raises questions about corruption and public confidence. It mentions charges, public safety items, and a desire to restore trust, but the readable text is too incomplete to identify persons, organizations, dates, or concrete actions.
The piece argues the Advertiser overpaid for printing and defends awarding to the lowest bidder, detailing bids for the Senate and House Journals. It notes The Bulletin and Robert Grieve Publishing Co. as lower bidders and accuses officials of favoring higher bids or stalled tenders, urging fairness and transparency in contract awards.
The Bulletin is named the successful bidder for printing the Board of Health and related reports after a contest against the Advertiser and others. The court motion to strike and appeal issues center on bid procedures, with challenges citing lack of competitive bidding and department custom. Local officials note the Auditor's report and superintendent decisions influenced the outcome. Police report records Gallagher’s assault incident as a separate matter in the news brief.
The British whaler Blythewood hove to in the stream at 10:30 after a 66 day run from Newcastle. A native canoe met the ship off Penguin Island where divers gathered mother of pearl. Captain Pritchard reported an uninhabited island but found Englishmen and natives at work on shell harvesting. Vessel then beat up to leeward, reaching about 200 miles southwest of Hawaii with a cargo of coal.
A Honolulu newspaper column lambasts Sheriff Andrews, calling him a relic of an autocratic era. It accuses him of harsh methods, bias, and defiance of court orders while praising his zeal and influence in state governance. The piece speculates on administrative flaws and laments the old time lieutenant’s grip on power.
The article reports H J Cooper resigning from the office of Superintendent of Public Works amid Cabinet hostility and upheaval. It notes his career’s arc, subservience to the cabal behind the administration, and pressure from an heir apparent in the cabinet. Cooper’s departure is framed as expedient due to the official turmoil surrounding his tenure.
