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 tC
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 "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 number il
the past few weeks, who have ordered theil
houses fitted with the perfect light.

The Hour Has Come.

The report of the court of inquiry is in the presidents hands; the horrible barbara ties that are but a part of the savage war fare of half-civilized Spain, have been told by men whose words and whose judgment are not to be lightly questioned. The cru, eial week has come.
 There is not a man or woman-scarce1y a child-who does not know that a rich and powerful people have a duty to per form. An afflicted island near their shores calls aloud for help. The duty set before this country is a duty to humanity, to the great cause of human rights, to civiliza- tfon.
 Nearly a quarter of century ago Gen Grant gave the answer in letter to the then American minister in Madrid: "The president cannot but regard independence and emancipation as the only certain, and even the necessary, solution of the question of Cuba" What was necessary in 1876 has become imperative in 1898.
 It is not so much the disaster to the Name that the pfeSlueDl IS cdileu upoh to settle, as it is, the broader, deeper ques- tion of Cuba Autonomy, as all know, cannot settle it. Arbitration is impossi- ble. The high duty of bringing freedom to Cuba rests upon this country, and upon this country alone Its very position and strength have brought upon it the great duty, and it cannot longer be shirked.
 Just how the president and his advisers and congress will proceed no one can at present say; and great people, confident in their powers, should patiently await the unfolding of the national plan. But that same people should plainly say to the pow CTS that be- to the men that stand for them in public affairs, there is but one solution of the problem, and that is the one that Gen. Grant declared over twenty years ago in Madrid, the independence of Cuba. Whatever form intervention may take, it's sole object must be the deliverance of every foot of American soil from Spanish rule-its ultmatum must be, let the Gu

Ex-G0y. Oaies' Letter.

Elsewhere in this mornings Age-Herald will be found letter advocating the call ing of a constitutional convention. It is from the pen of ex-Gov. Wm. c. Oates and every Alabamian knows that a letter from such source is a letter worth reading.
 Gov. Oates is one of the survivors of the convention of 1875; and his summary of ost-bellum conventions is by no means the least interesting part of his letter. He shows that the reconstruction cloud was still threatening when the convention of 1875 met; and, although the democrats had won a victory and carried the state, the delegates were afraid to act freely and in dependently. They were afflicted with a conservatism that bordered, says Gov Oates, Ion political cowardce." Instead of looking ahead, anticipating growth and great changes in the state, they thought only of the changes needed to tide them over the troubles of their own time
 Gov. Oates quotes from his message as governor in 1896 to show why the state should nave a conStltutlondl conNeHtiofi, ], and The Age-Herald urges every citizen in whose hands this edition may fall, to care fully read the list of reforms that can be secured only through a convention.
 Gov. Oates closes his excellent and emil nently sound letter-sound in every sen- tence and phrase-with an appeal. in favor of suffrage reform and the elimination of every kind of election dishonesty. Dem- ocrats republicans and populists should, he thinks, unite so far as the calling of con vention is concerned; for in no otherway can the desired changes be accomplished. The Age-Herald bespeaks this morning a careful reading of Gov. Oates admirable letter.

From the Birmingham Courier.

From the Birmingham Courier
 The assertion made by some time ago regarding the candidacy of Hon. Thomas N. Mcclellan for the office of chief justice of the supreme court of the state has been verified in every respect, for today there is no longer any doubt that three-fourths of all the delegates from the different counties are his pronounced supporters. This was to be expected, for more than any other man MT. Mcclellan is the representative of the great masses of the people, and during his entire career he has furnished abundant proof that he is deserving of the confidence reposed in him and that he will never abuse it. No man in the state stands higher than he in intelligence or learning, and every one who has had the opportunity to know him during his long public life knows that he is perfect gentleman, with char acter free from every blemish. Take him all in all, MT. Mcclellan is man who will grace the office he seeks and of whom we know in advance that he will discharge it's duties justly and impartially. We wish him every success in his candidacy.

HARD ENOUGH ALREADY

From the Washington Post.
 When the house some weeks ago un- seated Representative Thomas s. Plowman and installed w. F. A1drich in his place a vacancy was thereby created in the membership of the committee on naval af- fairs. This berth has peculiar Vaccinations for the New England members of con- gress, because of the interest of that sec ton in naval matters. As the vacancy was made by the removal of a democrat from congress, the friends of Representa- tive Fitzgerald, the only democrat from New England, wished to secure the assign ment for him. MT. Fitzgerald Is generally modest in making requests for himself but the place was so tempting, particularly in view of the hopes of Boston for dry dock, that he ventured to suggest to Speaker Reed what he so much wanted.
 T don't see how I could do it," said MT. Reed, thoughtfully. when Mr. F1tz- gerald had put the question squarely.
 "Why?" asked the representative from Boston,.
 '"rhey are a hard crowd there now" was the sarcastic reply.

THE ROMANTIC SOUTH IS PASSING

From the Amerfcus (Ga.) Times Recorder.
 While many northern dollars have been invested in southern enterprises, 1t is admit
 ted that by far the greater part of the in creased wealth Is due to southern intelli- gence and energy. Yet this is only the be- ginning. The iron area or the south, one hundred miles in length and two hundred miles in width, paralleled by belts of coal and limestone, is only worked in its vesti- bule, as it were. In few years hundreds of shops, whose fires will be fed from the coal at the doors, will surround every pres ent one. We are assured that Alabama is now laying down iron in England at prices with which the English producers say they cannot compete at any profit One-half of all the standing timber of the country is in the south. It Is not so many years since the south bought all its meat and its corn in the north, and the carrying of these for which vast sums were paid by the i'm poverished people, was the main support of lines of steamers The romantic south is passing. So is the impoverished south.

Local Dispensaries.

The state dspensary Sygsem is still in force in South Carolina, despite orgi- nal-package competition and the United States courts In 1897, after paying the state an equal or larger sum, Anderson net ted from it $s,s59; Chester s3,413; Darling ton, ss52a; Newberry, $4,2o9; Sumter, sS,145; and Columbia, $7O43. These are the sums available for local schools, roads and the like, after all the expenses of the dispen- sary had been settled and the states portion taken out. These results were se- cured in the teeth of an opposition upheld by the United States courts. The people of South Carolina do not consider the dis pensary failure, by any means.
 In Athens, an university town, about the condemned and where prohibition is not considered practicable, local option dispen- sares are coming into favor. Camilla, a small town in lower Georgia, has from the profits of its dispensary built not only primary and grammar schools for it's white and colored children, but has from the same source erected a s10,OOO high school
 In Athens. an university town, about the size of Huntsville or Eufaula, the local dispensary yielded last year net profit oi s9,95s
 The original-package trouble is not en- countered in town in which public senti- ment sustains a local dispensary. It Is growing less in even South Carolina, where a dispensary or prohibition is compulsory The Charleston News and Courier is in- clined to think local-option dispensaries are preferable, because they have the people of community behind them. When the liquor business of a town is conducted by the town, original-package establish hments do not thrive; and in no Georgia town that has adopted the dispensary plan have they been set up.
 As means of regulating the liquor bus mess in a locality and deriving from it ( profit for public enterprises. the local

The Torpedo FIotiIIa.

The jingoes of Spanish politics have at length caused the sailing from the Canary islands of formidable torpedo squadron, one of the most formidable in the world. It consists of six torpedo boats and seven torpedo boat destroyers Three of the lat ter have a speed of twenty-eight knots, and at least two of the former have a record of twenty knots. The trip from the Canaries to Porto Rico can be readily steamed in six or seven days. Havana is then near at hand
 What does the dispatch of a strong tor- pedo fleet to Havana harbor mean? Are such vessels needed in the effort Spain is making to put down the insurgents? Are these vessels of use in defending Cuban ports? They are designed for warfare at sea. But with what vessels?
 In plain words, the sending of the tor pedo squadron to point very near Ameri- can waters, is a hostile act, unmistakable in intention, and unmistakably directed against this country. If the relations be- tween this country and Mexico were in- tensely strained and the authorities of either country organized an army corps and sent 1t to the line of the Rio Grande, neither country would for one moment be deceived. Both would understand it meant war. So it is in the case of the torpedo fotilla. It is hostile measure on the part of Spain, challenge that the government has a right to take notice of, and to con- slider a cause for war. The president cer- tainIv will not let this opportunity pass llnnoticed.
