For sutherlin Over All Corners

We have halted for some time over
the appropriateness and business OF
espousing the individual cause of any
man in these columns, in opposition
to other gentlemen who are aspirants
and candidates for the same office
before the people. Our idea and con-
tentiOn has been that, all things being
equal, as a Democrat, conducting a
Democratic journal, it was our duty
to remain perfectly impartial and
non-committal, and be prepared to
say good word in behalf of any and
all deserving Democrats who felt dis
posed to use these columns in their
efforts to place theirclaims before the
public. This we have endeavored to
do in the present campaign in discus
sing the merits of the various Congress
sional candidates. But, owing to the
early opening of the campaign, and
the vigorous prosecution of the can
vass, it is almost impossible now to
remain neutral and do justice to our
self as having decision and opinions
of our own. We therefore say, with
out any reservation, that we favor
Judge K. W. Sutherlin, of DeSoto, for
Congress over all corners.
There is nogainsaying thefact that
Hon. H. W. Ogden has made us a
good Congressman, and if he gets the
nomination we can support him with
hearty good will; but, admitting the
earnestness and zeal which Mr.. Ogden
has served the district with, we believe
Judge Sutherlin will serve us even
more satisfactorily and efficiently if
he is elected in his place.
The ability and integrity OF Mr..
Phanor Brazeale remains undisputed,
and we are prepared to admit that
his scholarly attachments and accom-
plishments of oratory well fit him to
hold place in the nations councils,
but we feel that even this is no offset
to Judge Sutherlin's ripper experience,
equal ability and acknowledged acu-
men and judgement as a leader.
Itisnot our purpose to draw invidi-
GUS comparisons in this connection,
nor is it just to the eminent gentle
men who have pitched their canvass
upon a higher plane. Suffice it to
say, we believe that in whatever meas
ure his opponents may be qualified
and fitted to make good representa-
tives in Congress, in just that meas
ure is Judge Sutherhn even better
qualified and fitted to serve the peo-
pie of this district with eminentsatis- |
faction and distinction. Believing
this, and feeling sure that no more |
honorable and excellent material will
offer, We shall bend our energies to |
secure Judge Sutherlin's nomination.
The Pops are making the absurd |

A NATIVE REPUBLIC
AGUINALDO SAYS WE WILL
GRANT SELF GOVERNMENT.
Late Adylces From Manila Regarding
Tho Philippine Situation -ProoIa mation
Issued by tho Insurgent Leader to
Ills Followers,

WAsmNoToN, July 1.-The navy de-
partment received dispatch yester-
day from Admiral Dewey, dated Cavlte,
June 27. He made no mention OF re-
Inducements, and said he had avoided
committing this government TO any
policy, and had left General Merritt
free, He had some other matters OF
interest TO communicate, but they
were not OF character that could be
properly made public at this stage
LONDON, July "A dispatch TO the
Daily Telegraph from Manila, dated
Tuesday, June 2s, via Hong Kong,
says "The non-arrlval OF the Ameri-
can troops has grievously disappointed
Admiral Dewey, but the Americans
still count on celebrating the Fourth
OF July In Manila. II Is reported Adj
miral Won Diedrichs sent two vessels
away on learning that America re-
garded his attitude MS unfriendly. A
wholly improved feeling now exists.
The American officers express conf
dence In their ability TO dispose Of amy
ships Spain can now send, but in view
Of the alleged strength of Admiral
Camaras squadron, the wish Is ex'
pressed that the Americans had at least
one battleship.'
BERLIN, July 1.-The following dis
patch has been received from Hong
Kong; According TO trustworthy In
telligence from Manila, the Spanish
governor general had a few days ago,
ut his own request, meeting with
Admiral Dledrichs, the commander OF
the German naval forces in the Far
East, In order TO propose, in behalf OF
the Spanish government, that Manila
should be handed into the provisional
charge OF n neutral commander. The
proposal was rejected by Admiral
Diedrichs in view of the American
blockade.
The Manila news, via Hong Kong,
referring to the action of Admiral Died
richs, may be looked upon as being a
semi-oflicial note, as 1t was issued by
the semi-ofllcial news agency here.
LONDON, July "A representative
Of General Aguinaldo, the leader of
the Philippine insurgents, who served
with him during the last insurrection
and who is now in London, Is quoted
in an interview as saying that before
Aguinaldo left Hong Kong he prom
sed Rear Admiral Dewey (then COM
modore) not to enter Manila until the
arrival of the American troops.
Aguinaldo's representative adds that
he has Just received a dispatch from
Cavite saying republic has been pro-
claimed there by Aguinaldo, under the
protection of the United States and
approved by Great Britain and Japan.
Continuing, the agent Of the Philip
pine leader asserts that he has been TO
Berlin, where he saw the under secre-
tary for the foreign office, who de-
clared that all Germany wanted was
that the existing import tariff would
not be altered by republic in the
Philippine islands or, at least, that
preference should not be given to any
other nation.

BIG DEMAND FOR BONDS.
Two Hundred Millions offered, Eight
Hundred Subscribed.


WASHINGTON, July Enquiries n
the treasury department show that the
total proposals for the new govern
ment loan Of SsOO,0OO,0OO aggregate
$500, 900, 900, OF this amount there
have been received and absolutely ac-
copied:
Subscriptions, in amounts Of $500 and
less, 100000 900.
Subscriptions, in amounts over 5000,
subject to future allotment, $780,
100000.

ium Of per cent, SiO0,O00,OOO.
Two syndicate propositions for any
part or all of the bonds offered, $780,
900, 900 each, $500, 100000.
These syndicate offers for bonds at O
premium are not in the regular form,
although they came from entirely
responsible sources and no allot'
ment will be made in either case.
1t is expected that heavy subscriptions
will increase in number with the
beginning Of the new month. Savings
bank deposits will probably be realized
to considerable amount as the six
month interest period is July 1, and
Withdrawals now can be made by the
depositors without sacrificing any in

GENERAL SHAFTER's BALLOON.

Of tho FIneAt Continuation.


New YoRK, July "A correspond
emit in Santiago do Cuba telegraphs TO
the New York journal that a balloon
sent up from the American camp was
seen from Santiago Thursday. In the
balloon were two men, seemingly talk
ing observations Of the Spanish forth
ficatlons about Santiago,
CHICAGO, July 1.-The balloon that
is now In active use and sailing over
the beleagured city OF Santiago and In
plain view OF $4,000 Spaniards and
1900 Americans, was shipped from
Tampa with Skaters forces, together
with the submarine cables and other
field telegraph equipment now being
used by the signal corps Of the army in
Cuba. Mr.. w. j. Lloyd, assistant dis
trict superintendent Of the Western
Union Telegraph company, sayi
that II Is probably one OF the finest
and most improved equipments used In
warfare, The balloon was shipped
from Paris early in May, and is being
charged with oxygen gas from tubular
reservoirs which have been In use by
the army for experimental purposes
ut Fort Riley The balloon is first
charged and then allowed TO ascend by
means OF wire cables from large reel
made fast to field wagon. The cable
is used as telegraph and telephone
conductor, and the occupants OF the
balloon transmit TO the ground their
observations,
There is little danger OF the balloon
being pierced by n rife shot, on 40
count Of Its constantly swaying con
dition and the extreme difficulty Of
hitting anything at an elevation OF
say, $500 feet, which Is the usual limit
OF a cable reel The French claim Ia
have gun which will pierce balloon
but II Is supposed there are none In use
either in the American or Spanish
armies. Had one of these balloons
been aboard Simpsons feet, much
anxiety would have been prevented
pending the final discovery OF Ad
miral Cervera in Santiago harbor
II is Mr.. Lloyd's belief that the bal
loon is in charge Of Major JOSEPH
Il. Maxaeld who was formerly sigma
officer Of the department Of Missouri
with General Brooke, Of Chicago, Thu
particular balloon has q lifting capaci
ty Of 800 or 400 pounds, which woult
enable 1t two carry two signal men o
ordinary weight, as well as the neces
fairy telegraph apparatus. Thisis sale
to be the first time that a balloon ha
ever been put in actual war service OF
this side Of the Atlantic ocean.

SAGASTA ON PEACE RUMORS.

Mr.. Gage objects to the issue of any
OF the currency certificates In advance

says, are not so good nm investment as
the latter and he fears that they may
not be readily taken and the credit Of
the government suffer in consequence.
OF course the ono year certificates are
not so good an investment as 2O-year
bonds. Aside from the fact that they
only have year to run, they cannot
be used as basis for banltnote circu-
