The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for nse in the family residence, Is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman OF Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want 1t done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
SO near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and l take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think il over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

Connecticut Letter,

We have been permitted to make a
few extracts from letter written by S.
Henry Moss, of Stonington, Conn.,, to
his brother, A. r. Moss. of this city:
There is surely a prospect for corn in
old Barton, and hope you will get a
big one. 1t looks like the hard times
are over and no ore doubts the sound
ness OF Our government at its ability to
pay-thus confidence is fully restored,
hence no one wants to hold gold, as
there is no prospect of any premium.
Our exports are increasing. Only last
week we shipped 1 400 tons of pig iron
from Ohio to England, tne-second ship
ment of the kind; our furnaces are fur
nishing armor plate to Russia for their
world; our exports of copper have in
creased 100 per cent in a few years;
large cotton factories are going up in
the south and some from the north are
moving their plants south. / have not
seen tramp for six months and there
is employment for all who will work
for fair wages. There is not factory
of any kind in New England that is
not running full time. So you see
prosperity Is now here and we can from
the past figure upon ten to fifteen years
of plenty. Now, would it not be queer
if Great Bend was the only place in the
whole country that did not feel any
benefit from the prosperity that exits
in the whole land. | look for a big
year in 1885.

men who have heretofore led the party
to such victories as they have gained,
are expressing themselves of the be-
lief that in the three-cornered fight
that is now on in Barton county the
populist ticket, although 1t possesses
some good men, has not the ghost of a
show of election. These men speak
from thorough knowledge of the sit
uation and the strength of the three
parties. They are PRACTICAL in poll
tics, not theoretical.
For expressing this belief before the
conventions were held these men were
sidetracked by the more ultra, the wild
eyed, the effusive theorists in the pop
party, and the present campaign put
into the hands of the latter. This lat
ter class of populIsts are now using
every means possible to hold the liberal
voters in line; they bitterly denounce
all men who hold to the democratic
faith, for the sole purpose of pleasing
the former republicans now in the pop
ranks; they as vociferously bemean all
republicans in the hope of keeping on
the good side of the ex-democrats.
They cry out against all humanity in
the hope of drawing to the pessamistic
ranks still more of the same ilk, but
offer nothing to the conservative, sober
minded voter to recompense him for
casting his lot in their unenv1able So
ciety.
We want to ask the several hundred
earnest, industrious, level-headed vo-
ters who have still shown an inclina-
ton to follow such leadership for the
sake of ''party fealty." why are you de-
ceived longer?
Are you ready to espouse ali the fads,
the isms, the visionary theories that
have been sprung upon Kansas people
the past few years? The leaders of
populists to-day are anxiously awaiting
an opportunity to pledge you to these
isms. While loudly proclaiming that
''free silver'' is the only war cry, you
know, and everybody knows, that they
are ultra prohibitionists, rabid female
suffragists, died-in-the-wool paternal-
lists and would-be fatists. Their pres
ent great concern for free silver" is
but a cloak to hide their sinister in
tentions to eventually lead you into a
support of the above mentioned fads.
Will you be deceived? Will you throw
your votes away this fall by aiding in
that deception?
They talk about national issues"
What figure has the populist party cut
a western state that party carried for
Weaver electors without the aid of
democratic support? Is there a south
ern state that party carried for Weaver
even with the republican support? Is
there any possible hope that the popu-
list party will carry a single state IN
the union in 1896?
We pledge you NO to every question.
Demoerots will not support them in
the north and west, and republicans
will not support them in the south.
Why tag along with this new, third
party movement that accomplishes
nothing and promises nothing? Why
continue to permit yourself to be ar
rayed against the TRUE peoples party
the Jeffersonian democracy--which
is fighting fearlessly and relentlessly in
the great south and west, and which
will eventually triumph over the op-
position of not only republicanism,
but jingoism, monometalism, pater-
nalism and pessamistism.

1t is predicted that before many
years the sunflower will come into gen.
eral cultivation in this country. AS a
plant 1t has no superior for vigor, rapid
growth and prolific yield of seed, leaves
and stalk, all of which can be utilized.
The seeds are especially good as food
for fowls, and when mixed with grains
they are relished by all farm animals.
Fifty buehels of seed TO the acre is a
fair yield, and this will produce fifty
gallons of oil worth 81 per gallon. In
China a valuable fiber, used in silk
weaving, is obtained from the salks,
and they are of service as fuel and a
source of potash. The Orentals mix
their tobacco with cured sunfower
leaves and make yellow dye from the
flowers, which are also rich in honey
and wax. The sunflower grows riot
ously in Kansas and stands all ex-
tremes of weather well. Plainly, it is
one of natures great gifts, but as yet
unappre ciated.
