at the Brush Electric Light Works in
Cleveland, Ohio, in the successful test
ing of mammoth electric lamp, said to
be the most powerful generator of light
ever made. by man. Its illuminating
power is fifty times as great as that of the
ordinary electric light. being equal TO
that of 100000 candles. The lamp was
built to order fo- the British government,

sons aud says that his party had S plu
rality Of votes cast at the last presiden.
tial election. He knows, il he has ex.
amined the tables printed in his party's
organs, that a plurality for Hancock is
made out by crediting him with the
votes cast for both the Democratic elee.
toral tickets in Virginia. and leaving
out of the calculation over 10000 Re.
publican votes given TO a second Gar
field electoral ticket in Louisiana
Such an attempt to deceive is despicable
and would be tolerated in no party. but
one SO devoid of right and justice as the
Democratic party is.

Kansas City Journal: The politics of
Kansas would puzzle the oldest man
living. AT least the why's and where
fores OF political maneuvers there are
often beyond the apprehension of look
ers-on. Just why Capt. Henry King
should be superseded as postmaster by
Maj. Tom Anderson, or anybody else, is
a conundrum. Capt. King has made q
capital postmaster, and Maj. Anderson
has been a first-class railroad man. II
King was to be removed for cause no
better man could be found for his place
than Anderson, but it is waste of good
material to throw away good postmaster
for the sake of spelling a number one
railroad man.

Senator Beck, of Kentucky, is not dis
posed to retard the organization of the
senate by holding on to few privileges.
In view of the fact that the situation
comprehends a Republican president
backed by Republican house, he in
clines to the plan of throwing the op.
position upon its metal, and by giving
them the control of the senate also, hold
them responsible for the evil as well as
the good results which may grow out Of
the exercise of full power. Such stall
wart philosophy gives evidence of its
blue grass nourishment, and is sufficient
ly unique TO merit the radiant encourage
ment of q wooden Indian.

New York Tribune: General Han
cock has conferred a great boon upon
his party. Its great want has been live
issues, and he supplies pair of particu-
larry frisky ones. In his able speech on
Saturday evening he said: ''Ishall only
say in relation to the polite al campaign
OF 1880 that have no fault TO find with
the behavior of my friends, and nothing
to retract ormodify concerning mere acts
or words.'' There was no applause at
ter this remarkable statement, as there
should have been. The General not
only accepted the Morey forgery as a
thing not TO be found fault with, but
he gave notice that he had nothing to
modify in his famous interview on the
tariff This leaves the Democracy with
both those issues alive and kicking, and
they are platform enough for any party.

saechnrinc Futuritv.

She was dainty blonde, and was
robed in spotless white, relieved on
ly by a cerulean blue knot at her
throat and a double barreled sun
flower at her belt, and as she trip
ped into Ellis's she looked just too
sweet to live. Harry Ellis smooth
ed down hair No. 20 as he came for
ward and asked;
"What is it, Iniss?" The voice
was as musical as an Eolian harp,
and its dulcet tones Vibrated upon
his auditory nerve with frightful
rapidity. She turned her heavenly
blue eyes upon him and said:
"Have you the song, 'Saccharine
Futurity?'"
81 beg PARDON" said Ellis, 81 did
not catch the title.p
"Saccharine Futurity," repeated
the beautiful vision, and as she ut
tured the words her lips looked SO
tempting that the young man inn
mediately turned around and yank-
cd down folio marked S in great
trepidation. He looked all through
the list, but failed to find the song,
and he ventured upon one more
question:
as it a solo or song and che
rus?"
Eyes, 1 think it is" replied the
dame, who seemed a little mixed by
the question. Just then Frank
Rockar came in the back door and
Ellis rushed up to him with the in
terrogatOry:
"What the dickens does she
mean? She wants song called:
'Saccharine Futurity."
"What?' exclaimed ROckar,
and then, as he gazed at the @sthet-
ic appearance of the ethereal Great
ure, he took it all in and said: $50
get her the Sweet By-andBy."
The familiar song was rolled up
for her and smiling her thanks she
passed out.
