CAUSES NO ALARM.
State Chairman Seibert SAYS Dem.
Ocrats Will Meet Issue.

Democratic leaders feel no apprehension
In the reports that Lee Meriwether. defeated
candidate for Mayor Of St. Louis on the
Public Ownership ticket, is attempting to
secure fusion between the Popuists public
ownership believers and dissatisfied persons
in the Democratic and Republican parties
for the purpose OF making aggressive cam
paigns In future elections.
The Democrats feel that 1t Is but a nat
ural move on the part OF Mr.. Meriwether
and that 1t will meet with no more success
than have his former ventures Of a similar
nature. Mr.. Meriwether's visit to William
j. Bryan at Lincoln on Monday gives the
Democrats no alarm, and its evident result
Is source of qualification more than any
thing else. The movement is expected 10
take definite shape in the convention at
Kansas city. at which number OF Public
ownership advocates from st. Louis are
present.
Should a coalition be arranged at the con-
vention of the Popuiist and Public Owner
snip committees at the meeting In Kansas
city. the Democrats feel that they will be-
amply prepared to meet IL at the proper
time. Mr.. Meriwether was accompanied TO
Lincoln by Bernard z. Bogg. They returned
there by several OF their followers from the
city and other parts Of the State. Advices
from Lincoln are to the effect that Mr..
Meriwether attempted to induce Bryan to
James NJ. Seibert, chairman Of the State
Democratic Central Committee and Excise
Commissioner of ST. Louis. when seen about
the matter. said:
Il feel that this is simply a natural move
on the part of Mr.. Meriwether and those
connected with him. So far as | can see,
the Democrats have no cause for apprehen-
sion, and ] am sure Will be prepared 10
meet the issue when ii Is brought before
them at the proper time. We have shown
in the past that we are perfectly capable Of
taking care of such matters. and am con-
fdent that the Democrats of Missouri and
81. Louis will not be found wanting in the
future.
''As I understand II. Mr.. Meriwether did
not gain much on his visit to Mr.. Bryan.
and We have no cause to fear from that
soufce. There is no campaign on at pres
ent and see no real need OF the Democrats
entering into any discussion of these mat
tiers at this time. There is a probability
that the Municipal Ownership people will
make an effort TO elect their candidates to
the next Legislature. but j am confident
that the Democratic party will handle the
matter in an able manner. as II always has
before. Until the Municipal Ownership men
make their fight. we do not know just how
We will meet it, but there is little doubt Of
our ability to do so-'

-General Notes.

Local officials of the ST. Louis and san

the fight against the consolidation OF their
road with the Memphis system. which Is De-
ing carried on SO vigorously by a certain
element in Kansas City. They say that the
better and more substantial merchants ana
shippers of that city have not appeared IN
the opposition. and are. on the contrary, IN
favor of the consolidation, which they De-
lieve will result to the interest OF Kansas
City.
The fight. they say, is being conducted by
a coterie which has been identified with the
rivalry existing between Kansas City anu
St. Louis. 1t sees in the union OF the twV
systems certain benefits going. as a natuIa ~

Local shippers are unanimous In their ap-

INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES.
Southern Railroads Raise Price on
Shipme nts of Cotton Fabrics.

New York. June lS.-The Journal Of Com
meyce says: After July ! shippers Of 0ry
goods, or. more strictly speaking. cotton
fabrics. will have to pay higher freight
rates to and from all points reached by the
Southern railroads. This news will be re-
ceived with much surprise, in view Of the
fact that only few days ago the Southern
Classification Committee promulgated a new
schedule containing many changes from the
Monday. The most important change, so
far as dry goods interests are concerned.
was the new provision relative to shipments
of cotton fabrics. Under this provision all
such goods were to be shipped at NTH
class rates.
Without any warning. hewever, the
Southern roads. through their classifica-
ton committee. have issued a ruling to the
effect that on and after the first OF next
month all such goods must be rated at
fourth class. OF. In other words, one whole
rate on the basis of a haul from New York
to Atlanta, Ca. Is Is cents per 100 pounds
for fouTth-clasS and 60 cents on fifth-class.
The difference between fourth-ciass and
ffth-class rates to other Southern points Is
about the same. Dry goods interests have
feared that the Southern railroads, II the
latter granted their requests to make a
change in the classification OF cotton fab
