The cleanest, brightest safest and really
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use 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 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 it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tel
them what You want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

He said; "How beautiful, my love,
From earth beneath to heaven abovei
There's not a rock with lichens Drowned.
And not a field with sunshine crowned,
And not note all nature through,
From whispering pines to ocean blue
Not even mote which swings In air
Up toward the bending heavens there
That Is not beautiful"
WHAT SHE SAID.
There's not thing the Landscape through
From sands we beat
Beneath our feet
To where the mountains heave In view.
That is not beautiful,
And all for you"
WHAT SAW.
A scene almost made up of blanks,
Nothing but rocks and sands,
A dull brown waste,
Der which the crow himself makes haste.
And yet, unused, perhaps tits wise
To look abroad through lovers eyes,
II they may show that round US lies
Beauty like that Of paradise"

II Spain ever hopes to present a claim
against the United States on account of
fihbusteriEg expeditions which have left
our coasts for Cuba that hope must be
based upon an assumption that the gen.
eraf government has been remiss as to
treaty obligations; an assumption which
comes into violent collision with the facts
In the case Specious and pro-Spanish ar
gument seeks to establish a parallel be-
tween the conditions as to the United
States and Cuba and the conditions sur
rounding the Alabama case. No such
parallel can be instituted. The principle
laid down-and By which the United States
government has been completely controlled
is that which has II that "a neutral gov
eminent is bound to use due diligence to
ping within its jurisdiction of any vessel
which 1t has reasopa BILE ground to believe
Is intended to cruise or to carry war
against power with which 1t is at peace"
This principle was violated by Great Brit
ain in the Alabama case. The Confederate
cruiser was permitted to receive Its arms
and equipments at Liverpool after the
diplomatic representa- tives of this nation
had notified the British government as to
the character of the vessel and the dead
ly work she was about to engage in. Fur
thermore, the British government made no
effort to seize the Alabama when that no
torious destroyer put into ports in British
colonies. This negligence on the part of
the British government was clearly proven
before the Alabama Claims Commission
and the result was verdict for the United
States Spain cannot by any possibility
make such case against the United States
because of any filibustering which may
have had the liberation of Cuba for its
object That the great majority of Amer
leans sympathize with Cuba is a certainty
but mere sympathy is not an offense
against international law. Any claim
Spain may make for damages must be q
failure unless Spain can prove that the
United States government failed to exer-
else due diligence to filibustering expedi-
tons There has been no such careless
ness, and Spain, represented by Minister
Dupuy de LONE, knows 1t.

Moving Toward Municipal Control.

Already indebted to Detroit for many
valuable municipal suggestions. a large ma
jority of the cities of the United States must
sooner or later acknowledge that Detroit
has made an interesting and profitable
showing as to municipal street lighting.
Municipal ownership of gas and electric
light plants has been seriously discussed in
Washington, and there IS reasonable like
1ihood that in the near future the work of
street sweeping and of garbage collection
and disposal will be done by the city itself
instead of by contractors who, as rule to
which exceptions are here practically I'M
known. fall to do some of the essential
things for the doing of which they are paid.
Detroit has shown conclusively that a mu-
nicipal electric lighting plant may be so
operated as to at once efficiently illuminate
the city's highways and byeways and
delight the interested taxpayers. The
fl st annual report of the Detroit Public
Lighting Commission shows that prior to
the establishment of a municipal service
the city was lighted by contract the cost
per lamp during a period of eleven years
ranging from $40 TO 1929; the average cost
per lamp for the entire period being about
s175. In 1890 Mayor Pingree commenced to
agitate for municipal ownership, and in
establishment of public lighting plant by
a vote of 1J.2S2 to 1.24J Under the business
like system thus inaugurated the cost per
lamp per year is just sS4. TO- The cost of
operating this plant will be practically less
ened i'm a-'little while. when the extensive
underground conduit system-of which less
than one-third is now in use-is fully rented:
1t Will then be Il source of much revenue
and every additional dollar of income will
reduce the cost of street-lighting to the tax
payer Just that much.
The unaaswerable logic of municipal con-
trol-when municipal control means non
partisan administration - has convinced
many Of Washington's taxpayers that true
economy must sooner or later compel the
permanent retirement of the contract sys-
tenn This community has had many annoy
ing and wastefully-eXpenSive experiences
with men whose principal object was the
achievement of personal financial success
without any regard whatever for the public
interest. We are having such experiences
now. 1t surely cannot be that such a con-
6ition of affairs Will long continue

GOfnE 1t Alone

Bimetallists contend that the demonetiza-
ton of silver by the leading commercial
nations of the world, including the United
States, has reduced the price of silver one
half. Mr.. Bryan claims that its remoneti-
zation by the United States alone will re-
store silver perfectly to Its former value
But If there are several concurring causes
CT this decrease why should the effect fail
entirely to be produced merely through the
removal Of one of the causes? If demoneti-
cation by many nations has caused an evil
row will the evil be remedied except
through remcnetization. by the same ma
tons? 1t is generally conceded that demon
citation by the United States was among
the least of the legislative blows admins
tered 10 silver, since in 1878 We We're neither
coming nor using silver dollars, and only
between eight and nine millions of such
dollars had been coined in the entire finan-
cial history of the republic up to that date,
while with silver demonetiZed since 1873 We
have coined and use over four hundred mill
by the United States was among the least
of the causes of the decrease in silvers
value, how VIII its reconciliation by the
United States alone be equivalent to the
destruction of all these other and more
effective causes? The question is impor-
tant. because if silver will not be restored
fully to its former value through free coin
age in the United States alone the founda-
ton stone of Mr.. Bryan's reasoning is with
drawn, and the country must suffer the
evils of a debased currency as the result of
its Independent experiment..

From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The Bryan press has been unfortunate In
one of It's earliest campaign lodges An
Omaha journal published under the title
Put This in Your Hat" quotation pur-
porting to be from the London Financial
News of March 10, in which the loss of
trade with South America, China and
Japan was forecast as consequence of
national folly in allowing the United States
to get ahead of England In the adoption Of
bime tallism. This alleged extract has been
reprinted conspicuously by democratic
populist journals In the western states. It
Is pronounced a forgery by the Financial
News, Of August b. which refers explicitly
to it. and says: mo such article was ever
printed by us, and its whole tenor is directly
opposed to the view we have taken Of the
effect of free silver in the United States.
So far from advocating free silver coinage,
we have persistently pointed out that 1t
spells reputation and the withdrawal of
all European capital"

well because Of his grasp of the subject az
because Of his reputation ~ an orator.
Like Mr. Bryan, he Is young and eloquent
has the gift Of swaying q great crowd by
his earnestness and an unusually rich vo-
cabulary. In the opinion Of many compe-
tent judges, he Is the nearest approach to
the OConnell style Of orator we have heard
in this country.
Mr.. Cochran acquitted himself last night,
according to the reports, to the entire salts
faction of his audience. The speech shows
breadth of view, close reasoning power and
praiseworthy conservatism. He wisely dis
puted with Mr.. Bryan the right to speak for
the wage-earners. He spoke for them him
self, and pointed out how disastrous free
coinage would be to the interests of the very
men who are expected to fasten 1t on the
country. Without word of disrespect for
those who are pushing the policy, he at
tackled the policy itself in severe terms, and
declared 1t to be SO bad that in the event of
its success even the silver mine owners
themselves would, in the end, be cheated by
its adoption.
The farmer is treated with every consid-
Grafton, and in the fact is disclosed the like
ness existing between the view taken of him.
and Of his relation to the controversy, and
can candidate has within a few days been
represented as misunderstanding the filings
at the farmers by the cartoonists, wherein
the bewhiskered scarecrow is made to grow
from under every pencil. Mr.. Cochran has
as respectful word for the farmer as for
the man at the bench. His denunciation is
for the silver policy, and not for those who
advocate it.
1t Is likely. however, that Mr.. Cockrans
itinerary as a stumper will be arranged so
as to present him before audiences in the
manufacturing centers His New York
speech Is admirably keyed to strike the ears
OF the wage-earners, and he has only to give
it such local illustrations as will readily
suggest themselves to make 1t effective in
any locality he may visit. Its patriotic note
is strong, and will increase the respect felt
for one of the most brilliant men in the
country.
