AUTHORITIES CLASH.

1t is to be regretted that the
breach between the military and
civil authorities is growing wider
every day. The civil authorities
cannot yet realize that, when annex
alton became an accomplished fact,
they virtually disappeared from the
public stage of Hawaii. At the same
time the military authorities fail to
understand that Honolulu is not a
jay town in the wild woody west,
but in spite of a comparatively
small population, one of the best
governed, and up.to-date towns in
this part Of this hemisphere, and
that the inhabitants do not propose
to submit quietly to the military
despostism, which the commanders
OF the garrison stationed here evil
deotly are trying to establish.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The COM
municatiOn from the Spanish Gov
eminent looking to the opening of
negotiations for peace has not yet
been submitted by the President to
formal meeting of his advisers. 1t
may be several days before an an
swer is formulated.
Great care is taken to prevent the
Spanish communication from be-
coming definitely known. 1t ia as
serted in some quarters that Spain
did not ask this Government to in
dictate the terms on which peace
could be concluded, but merely
asked if the United States would
consent to open negotiations for
peace. 1t is stated in official circles
that it will be the policy of the
United States to deal with the ques-
ton Of terms IN a straightforward
manner and to avoid being drawn
into tedious negotiations. While it
is supposed that an armistice will be
asked for when negotiations for
peace have progressed far enough,

that the principal demands of the
United States will be agreed to.
Foreign Powers are anxiously
awaiting the answer of the United
States, especially with reference to
the Philippines. The apprehension
exists in some quarters that the
note presented by Spain was mainly
for the purpose Of drawing out this
Government On that point and pre-
pairing the way for protest by the
continental Powers, should the
United States demand the cession
Of the Philippines.
The Porto Rican campaign will be

CONGRESSMAN COX.
A Washington Correspondent Gives Him
n High Endorsement.

High Endorsement.
The following is an extract from
recent article from the Washington
correspondent of the Nashville
American. Mr.. Hull is one of the
foremost republicans in Congress,
and chairman of the important COM
mittee on Military Affairs. Said
the correspondent:
1T is needless to discuss the re-
cord of Representative Nichols Cox
of the Seventh District. Mr.. Cox is
now serving his third term. During
these six years he has climbed
steadily up the ladder of promotion
until be now occupies conspicuous
place upon two of the most impor-
tant committees of the House-the
Committee on Banking and Cur
rency and Military Affairs. In the
framing of bills which have been
reported to Congress from the latter
committee, Mr.. Cox has taken
prominent part, and his standing in
the estimation of his colleagues
may be properly described by the
statement of Representative Hull,
Chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs. Mr.. Hull said to
me in discussing Mr.. CoX's record:
II have known many men in my
life, but | have never known one
who was so thoroughly honest in
every move he made in the prepare
tion of national laws as Mr.. Cox.
He is precise and eXacting, but does
not carry it to an extreme. l have
been somewhat surprised at his
course, especially during this Con-
gress. Although a Democrat, he has
championed and supported every
measure reported from the Commit
tee on Military Affairs which would
tend to promote the success of our
army, regardless of politics. And
on many occasions he has suggested
wise amendments to these bills,
which have been readily accepted by
! the committee. considered him one
of the best Representatives in the
House, and his name will go down
in history as one of the men who
played a prominent part in the
drafting of laws calculated to pro
mote victory to our army during the
war with Spain"

Montague For Congress,

Hon. John F. Montague, of Giles
County, is a candidate for Congress
from this district. Mr.. Montague
was born and raised in this district.
His father lived in this county many
years ago, and moved from here to
Wayne, where the subject of this
sketch was born. Iu 1890 Mr.. Mont
ague moved to Pulaski, where he
practices law. He comes before the
people a clean, upright man, with
out blot upon his character, either
public or private, personal or
political. Concerning him and his
candidacy, ore of his home papers,
the Pulaski Citizen, says:
ave this week present the name of
Hon. JnO. F. Montague for the Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress from this
(the 7th) Congressional District. Know
ing him to be man of sobriety, good
morals and lawyer of ability, it is a
pleasure to commend him as can
didate for the very honorable position
he seeks.
GAS a Senator in the general Assembly
Of 1893, Mr.. Montague made a reputa-
ton as the fearless champion of the
right of the people on all questions
which affected their welfare. He was
consistent and persistent opponent o;
the issuance of bonds for State, coun ty
or municipal purposes, vigorously adj
vocated the fee reform measures in
troduced in that body, and opposed all
extravagant appropriation of the peo-
pies money.
"On the subject of national finance he
favors the free coinage OF silver at the
ratio of Is to |, and believes that silver
should be restored to its rightful place
as the money of the people.
"Mr. Montague is not only a lawyer
of ability, but is one of the most sue
cessful farmers in the county, hence is
well qualified to know the legislative
needs of the farming classes. We feel
justified in saying that if elected to a
seat in Congress John F. Montague
will be fearless and bold in protecting
the interest of the common people of
this country and in the discharge Of
duty as he sees it."

A LETTER from the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, at Washing
ton, was received by Mr.. G.. A. Park
er, Cashier of the Maurv National
Bank, last Monday, which contained
some rather good news for those
who have bank deposits. II reads
as follows: "In reply to your tele-
gram of the 10Th Instant, you are in
formed that if person goes to a
bank and draws out money on de-
post and gives receipt therefor,
such a receipt does not require a
stamp. 1t he issues his receipt so
that it would be good in the hands
of another person to draw upon his
deposit for the amount of it, it loses
the character of receipt and be-
comes a check or draft or order for
the payment of a sum ofmoney, and
is subject to tax"
In other words, you may go to the
bank and draw out your own money
and receipt the bank therefor, and
the receipt need not be stamped.
But if you give check to any one,
that check must be stamped. The
economical thing to do, therefore, is
to anticipate your wants, go to the
bank and get the money, and settle
your accounts in cash, thereby saw
ing two cents on every account.
And all we ask for this bit of money
saving information is that you call
promptly and pay your back sub
scription.

CAMPAIGN LIES,

We direct the attention of our
readers to a card published in this
issue by Sam Holding, Esq, togeth-
er with the appended statements of
Rev. F. B. Webb, Rev. w. A.
PrOvine and others.
1t is one of the evils of politics
that no man, however high may be
his character, can be a candidate for
office without being subjected to
such defamation. The campaign
lie" is as old as politics, and Mr..
Holding has simply had to endure
what other men of like high charac-
ter have suffered before him.
We think, however, he has done
we'll to meet and brand these false
charges as they deserve. His an
swer is crushing and conclusive.
There can be no more complete
refutation of such calumnies than
the good opinion of the good people
who have known him in his daily
walk and life from his youth up.
Those who have thus known Mr..
Holding pronounce him to be a man
not only of splendid intellect, but of
clean character, moral, sober, up
right and honest. He has been
honOrably nominated for the Office
he seeks, and he has made an honor
able campaign. He has not sought
to creep into office by slanderirg his
competitor, but has stood on his own
merits. The effort to defeat him by
spreading abroad false and SANDER
Gus charges in the closing days of
the campaign, will be properly re-
buked by an indignant people who
love fair play and detest dishonest
and underhand tactics.

that Mr.. Mckinley did not want the

and has not ordered a battle since.
Every lick struck, every victory won,
has been without his knowledge or
consent. He has at no time since
this controversy began reflected the
wishes of the people of this country,
and it is most likely that he will
take his time and consult and delay
to his hearts content, now that he
has no Congress or open enemy to
hurry him.
