Havana's Forward Step.

"The new charter of Havana gives the
local government control of a large
list OF municipal functions with which
neither the central E0r the provincial
authorities can interfere. The subjects
Of jurisdiction include the granting Of
franchises and concessions Until
Cuba adopts a constitution, at least
Havana viii have greater degree Of
home rule than any city on the island
ever had and more than many muni-
cipalities of the United States enjoy =
Buffalo Reporter
The American administrators Of
Cuba, since the close of the Spanish
American war, have found out the need
Of municipal government for Havana
But that city does not and never did
stand more in need of municipal gov
ernment than does Honolulu. Like
this city. Havana has been ruled by the
authorities of the entire Island of Cuba.
The Goyernor-Gener5l of the colony
was as supreme as was the President
of this republic
Centralized power was the rule, and
those in authority always opposed any
move toward local self-government,
Just at has been, and is now being done
in Hawaii. The people had no voice
in government, and it was not intended
that they should, those in authority
being determined to hold affairs in
their own hands so as to control every
thing in the interest of a few.
That is where the shoe pinches now
in the move towards municipal govern
ment in this city. With municipal
government a little coterie of office
holders will not have perpetual grip
on affairs to the exclusion of choice
by the people.

Press Comments on the Congressional
Primary.

The primary was held last Satur-
day, and resulted in the nomination
of Hon. L P. Padgett, which is
equivalent 70 an election. In the
contest Mr.. Boyd was second best,
Mr.. Whitthorne being third in the
race.
Mr.. Padgctt's nomination will
give universal satisfaction to the
party and to the country. He has
made very thorough canvass of
the district. and discussed the public
questions now before the coun-
try. In all these features he
has shown familiarity with the is
sues involved in the canvass, and
will do the district and the party
credit in Congress. He made the
canvass on a plane of such high
moral tone, so free from vitupera-
tion and the usual mud singing of
campaigns. and so entirely void of
indecent attempts TO debauch the
franchise with either liquor or
money that his nomination will be
regarded as distinct victory for the
better element of the party. 1t Is to
be hoped that the new and more
healthy methods of campaigning by
which he has won in this fight will
become the fixed election policy of
the party in the future.-Summer-
town Press.
The Congressional committee met
at Dickson Friday night, and after
canvassing the vote from the diff
ferent counties unanimously de-
clared Hon. l.. P. Padgett the noml-
nee AS such he il entitled to and
shall have our hearty support. Mr..
Padgett is one of the ablest men in
the district and will no doubt make
one of the best representatives in
Congress we have had. - Pulaski

MAJOR W. ]. WHITTHORNE.
Will He Bolt the Recent Democratic
Primary


Rumor has it that Major w. ]. Whit.
thorne will bolt the recent Democratic
primary election, and become an indie
pendent candidate for Congress His
ominous silence upon the subj ct first
gave rise 10 the report, and his action at
the Congressional Committee meeting at
Dickson a week ago in refusing TO de-
clare himself-as Mr.. Boyd had done
loyal to the party nominee, gave further
impetus and strength to the belief, and
since then several things have occurred
to further strengthen this belief.
1t is not denied by Major Whitthorne's
friends that he is considering the matter
And it is reported that the action of the
Repu nlican Committee at Centrevile
Saturday, will help the Major to his
final conclusion. 1t is said that an eff
fort will be made to have The Republi-
can Congressional Committee endorse
Major Whitthorne's candidacy, and Col.
A. M. Hughes is understood to be be-
hind this effort. His son, Mr.. Neil
hughes, at the post Office, admits as
much, and John w. Jackson, the Re-
publican Congressional Committeeman
from this county, has publicly declared
in favor of Major Whitthorne.
1t is also reported that Col. Hughes
has interested Boss Brownlow, Mark
Hanna's Tennessee Lieutenant, in Major
Whltthorne's political adventures, and
that the Boss has proffered his influ-
ence and substantial aid.
We give these rumors for what they
are worth, without vouching for their
accuracy. That there is some founda-
ton for them will not be denied.
MOTOR Whitthorne's actions within
the next week, doubtless, will eithe-
conf or deny these reports, which. if
untrue, do him q great injustice, but
which if true, contradict the profess
sions of his life.
