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
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 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 wall.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot Of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

FIXED FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF THE POsT0FFIUE
 FIGHT.
The Contest Narrowed Down To Ferd Havls and Oscar
 spellman.

The postoflice fight is now assum- ing the acute stage.
 The Republican State Central Com mittee recently in session at Little Rock postponed further consider alton of the matter until April the 18th, at which time the claims of the aspirants will be taken up, and the one receiving the endorsement of the Republican County Central Commit tees or the greatest number of indi vidual endorsements by the members of the committee, will be recommend ed by the State Central Committee for appointment.
 This action of tho State Committee has had the effect of practically elim- iaa ina aasaatll ttllnass ags several applicants, who are understood to stand no show with the County Committee, and it is un- derstood iii Republican circles that thecontest has now been narrowed down to Ferd Hayis and Mir Oscar Spellman.
 Spellman has hot heretofore been esan i5:efra aa applicant, but he has been selected as the strongest man with whom to defeat tFerd Hayis, and in the event of Mr Spellman appointment, he will move from his plantation at Lake Farm to this city, where he will make his home.
 Both Havis and spellman are old line and straight Republicans, and the contest gives every promise of being Il hot and bitter one.

JOHNC BRAIN
An Ex-warrior VI ho vietimized Pine Bluff
 People Again in Trouble

X telegram from Springfield, Tenn. says. John c Brain, who claims to be an organizer of the Home Forum Benefit order. is in jail here charged with obtaining board under false pretenses. Brain, who is about 60 years old, lame in one leg, and who exhibits long scar on the scalp, claims to be an old Confederate soldier, and lays claim to being the last prisoner Of the war. He has been giving lectures throughout the country, and has reaped a good sum notwithstanding the Confederate Veteran and other publications have pronounced him fraud of the first w8tes.
 "Brain was arrested at Adams Station Tuesday night. at the in= stance of Manager k. T. Gorham. Of the mercial Hotel, to whom he owes il large board bill. Brain has also contracted numerous other bills here. Yesterday telegram sent to the president of the Home Forum Benefit order at Chicago elicited the response that Brain was not in the employ of that order and that he is q fraud
 Seven or eight years ago Brain came to Owensboro and played the old soldier racket for nil it WIS worth. He was arrested for obtain ing money under false pretenses, but liberated on $200 bond. which q number of Owensboro citizens had to pay. Unlike the eat, Brain never "came back. ."-Owensboro, Ky. h. quirer.
 "Col. John C. Brain" will be re- membered as the man who delivered q so.called lecture at the Merrill Institute under the auspices of the J. Ed. MurfayTamp ofEx-eonfederates during last fall The lecture was a complete failure, and the next day the Camp raised funds to pay the cost of the same and get "Golonel Brain out of town. While it was generally known that lie WAS no lecturer, he was never suspected Of being q fraud and impostor. If would seem, though, from the above that hdis an all-around scamp.

 Be 1t said to the credit of Speaker Tappan that he never missed q day II his seat and not one single appeal was taken from his decisions. This is a record of which he can justly be proud.-ArkansaB Daily Gazette.
 Yes, if your statement a7 te ap- peaIs is trus then your conclusion IS correct. But our information is not Ut all creditable to the Speaker. We have it from I reliable source that time and again appeals were taken rom lis decisions and he paid no attention to them, pretending net to hear them When the vote was taken on fhe resolution ta extend the session, he declared it carried on rising vote. From his decision an appeal was taken but he did not hear it. Our information Is that he was lacking i'll both ability and fairness. That being the case, he should be defeated when the Legisla. ture meets in special session.-0zart Democrat.

Van Buren Venture Thinks There should
 se a Law Against It.
 We again ask fl there is not q law in the great State of Arkansas pro hibiting swearing in public places? We are of the opinion that there is, and il we are right, then the law is daily violated by the officers as well as other people. The officer who violates one law knowingly. in order that he may indulge the vile habit of swearing, is likely to violate some other law. And another thing about an officer violating a law. The people are aware of his weakness and do not hesitate to violate d law in his presence " hen they know he has been guilty of the same crime. So it is with swearing, Men and hoys swear when they please, be- cause they know the officers are guilty of the same offense and dare not arrest them. This is an outrage upon the morality of the State of Arkansas, and should be put a stop to.-Van Buren Venture.

TROUBLE AHEAD

The Philadelphia American sees
trouble ahead for the incoming admins
tration, and it believes it will be caused
by the gold Democrats. 1t says: The
Republican managers are busily en-
gagged in putting currency reform in the
background, and showing the tariff to
the fore, at which the gold Democrats,
who had bent their hearts on debating
the policy of the incoming administra-
ton, so as to bring about currency con-
traction, are much angered and cha
grined. They feel that their votes made
Mr.. McKinley's election possible, and it
seems to them like base ingratitude for
the Republicans. just as soon as put in
power with their assistance, to use that
power to carry out a policy of higher
tariff duties, than which no policy, save
it be policy to cheaper the dollar could
be mere distasteful to them.
It CRATES on the gold Democrats to see
the votes they gave to Mckinley used,

vehemertly opposed. But such is the
chance of war. One can never be sure
of the fruits of victory won by an allied
army held together only by hate and fear
of common enemy. Such allies are sure
to fall to fighting among themselves over
the fruits of victory. and the stronger

But in the present case it is not quite
certain who is the stronger, whether it
he the Republicans or the gold Demo
