The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
In the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
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 it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
nv 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 it 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 wall.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

coffee men selling their lands at the

five years from now the land will be
worth ten times higher what it is
now, and this is not allowing for a

A Questionable scheme.

The United Confederate Veterans have
under consideration a proposition to form
inside of their organization a benevolent
aid association. The membership of the
proposed association is to be composed.
necessarily, OF members of the L. C.
V. camps, though it is to be optional with
members Of the camps whether or not they
will join the aid association. The work
ing plan Of the association has not yet
been formulated, though 1t has been out
lined as follows: Each member joining
the benevolent association is to pay 81 in
itiation fee, and annual dues of 20 cents.
Upon the death of a member an assess
ment of or 10 cents, as may be agreed
upon, is to be made upon the other mem
bers. The money realized from initiation
fees and dues is TO be used for the prompt
payment of death expenses and benefits.
1t Is proposed to take the concensus of
opinion of the various camps of the United
Confederate Veterans on the subject, and
to report the matter to the general meet
ing Of the order at Nashville in June The
proposition has been laid before the con-
federate veterans of this city, and Is now
in the hands of a special committee of five,
of which Judge Robert Falligant and Mr.
J. r. saussy. both prominent lawyers, are
members. The opinion of these gentle
men seems to be that 1t would be a mis-
take to engraft an insurance feature upon
the organization of the veterans The
insurance would be upon the assessment
plan, and there would be an immediate,
continuous and heavy call for assessments.
To carry on the business of the plan would
probably require a large, well equipped
and possibly expensive organization.
The average age of the surviving con-
federate soldiers is about 60 years, or more.
In the proposed scheme there could not,
and should not, be any exceptions or diff
ferences mace between applicants for in
surance for reasons of age or disability;
hence, under the operations of the plan
there would be no cessation In calls for
assessments. Those who might survive
at the end of the first year or two would be
very tired of responding to the calls for
death dues, he those dues ever so small
One of the Savannah organization's COM
mittee in expressing his opinion with re-
gard to the matter said that the ex-con-
federates who needed the benefits of the
insurance were too poor to pay the as
sessments, and those who were able to
pay the assessments did not need the in
sUrance.
Al; the objections to the assessment in
surance p'an-which plan has proved in
so many instances to be a "delusion and
a snare" apply with great force to the
scheme which it Is proposed shall be adop-
ted by the United Confederate Veterans
The scheme would, sooner or later, inevi-
tably end in collapse. To insist upon the
adoption ot the plan, and carry it into eff
feet, might result in the destruction of the
present patriotic and fraternal organiza-
ton of the Veterans.

Uncle Jack GOWdy's Alden.

Sunday. Uncle Jack Gowdy, consul gem
eral to Paris, went out to the barn, slapped
the old mare a fond farewell, threw an
extra handful of corn TO the chickens and
looked regretfully up into the rafters fres-
coed with cobwebs and hayseed, SAYS the
indianapolis Sun. Monday, he knocked
around the house, packing up his be.ong-
ings and taking a final squint al the old
hooks and corners of the home place. He
divided souvenirs among the neighbors.
One got the old family rake. another the
wide-brimmed straw hat which went to
seed long ago, and the third got the nail
which has all these years, been the bind
ing tie between his working trousers and
his galluses. And all Of Rushville and a
big end OF Rush county sat on the worm
fence with mouth agape and grabbed at
the mementos as they were flung out. Most
of the population has for some time been
sitting on that fence waiting for some lit
tie offices to be scattered.
And in few days he will be on the bill
'lowy sea regretting that he ever had a
hand in Indiana politics and cursing Nc
Kinley and all his tribe. Such is the in
gratitude of persons who are on the sea
for the first time. He will separate from
his high-priced steamship fare, wrap his
head in towel and, while he groans in his
stateroom, he will wish for just one bite
of bacon on the old Rushvile farm.

Holding Ont a Promise.

Chairman Dngley of the House ways
and means committee takes issue with Mi.
Cleveland upon the latters statement that
the republican party won the recent cleo
ton upon its declaration in favor of sound
money. Mr.. Dingey says the party won
upon both issues, and that the tariff was
the leading issue However. as soon as the
republicans have passed a tariff bill which
will provide sufficient revenue to carry
on the government without borrowing in
time Of peace" they will take up the fnan-
cial problem and solve il. If currency leg
islation were taken up at once, he says,
no satisfactory measure could be passed,
owing to conditions in the Senate.
II may, indeed be the purpose of the re-
publican party to take up the matter Of
the country's finances at an early day.
But if It is, there are at present few indi-
cations of it. on the contrary, there APP
pears to he disposition in that party as
represented in Washington to stave off
consideration of the question for just as
long q time as possible. Efforts have
been made, apparently, to crowd so much
iniquity into the tariff bill that the atten-
ton of the people would be drawn away
from the money question by 1t. The APP
pointment of an international monetary
commission, which may or may not be
sent upon a wild goose chase, really
amounts to nothing. And that is all that
has been done towards the end of currency
legislation.
However it is probably just as well that
nothing has been attempted. Il is ques-
ton if the republican party is capable of
doing anything that would cure the evils
complained of. That party has set out TO
recoup the revenue deficit by making
tariff bill which will shut out imports, re-
duce home consumption and diminish the
markets of American manufacturers. 1t
might transpire that the republicans would
go about settling the money question in
just such illogical and unsatisfactory man
ner as they have gone about revising the
tariff.
