ARE THE TRUSTS TO UNITE.

There was report current in Raleigh
yesterday that the American Tobacco
Company and the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany had agreed upon a combination,
merger, or a community of interests,
and would not hereafter buy tobacco in
competition.
That report sent shive" down the
backs of tobacco farmers who have been
getting better prices for their tobacco
this fall than heretofore, chiefly because
OF the competition between the Ameri
can and Imperial companies. They recol-
lect the slump in the market that fol-
lowed the organization OF the American
Tobacco Company, and ii the Imperial
and American unite or have a com
munity of interests they fear a repeti
ton of the low prices that made tobacco
farmers either abandon the cultivation Of
the leaf or work at starvation wages
The latest news that can be gathered
is that representatives of the trusts have
been in conference. and that IAN agree
ment is improbable" But nobody can
tell what will occur. Let US hope that
they will not stific competition.

WAS THEIR 4 ROW?

The reports coming from the confer
ence between the President and Senators
Spooner, Hanna, Allison, Aldrich and
Lodge causes the New York Times to
intimate that it ended in a rumpus. One
of the Senators upon his return said
There is a whole lot of nonsense in
circulation, and the least said the bet
ter-it is an undesirable situation" An
other said 1.-The situation is not irrecon-
cilable and it will come out all right
says:
"It was quite evident on the return
from the Presidents home that there had
been trouble, and it looked as if the
President had declared his intentions
very plainly and had held to his ideas in
way distressing to his advisers. 1t
was even rumored that he had practically
told them that he was the chosen execu-
tive of the people and would do as he
thought best. 1t was denied that the
coal strike was discussed"
There is no doubt that are wide differ
ences between Republican leaders, and
the relations between some of them and
the President are strained. He is not
a tactful man like Mr.. Mckinley, and
nobody need be surprised if the smolder-
ing fire should break out.

AN UNFAIR PLEA.

The debate between Mr.. Moody and Mr..
trict is attracting interest. Both men
are contending that the policy of their
party is right. There is no objection
to that, but Mr.. Moody seems TO be
making a plea for votes on line that
will be regretted by all advocates of
the Appalachian Park. The bill for its
establishment passed the Senate. both
the North Carolina Senators actively sup
porting it. The bill would have become
a law if Speaker Henderson had permit
ted the House to vote upon it. He would
not hear to any argument and Congress
adjourned without action. If the Demo-
Gratis were disposed to make this great
matter a political issue the action Of
Speaker Henderson offered the oppor-
tunity. But they knew that his action
was not political and that all the Con-
gressmen from North Carolina of both
parties were actively supporting the BILL
Now comes Mr.. Moody and virtually
tells the people of the district that un-
less he is elected the bill will be jeop-
ardized AS a matter of fact the bill will
come DIP, if Speaker Henderson will per-
nit it, at the session of Congress this
winter while Mr.. Moody is still a mem
Der. If his pull is necessary to pass
the measure, he will be on hand to press
the button. Mr.. Gudger's term will not
begin until March.
The best friend of the Appalachian
Park bill is the man who will keep il
out of partisan politics. If it becomes
u football of politics, as Mr.. Moody
wishes to make it in order to serve his
interest, goodbye Park. 1t does not de-
pend upon Mr.. Moody or Mr.. Gudger, and
the people of the Tenth District will
vote for the candidate of their choice
without reference to the Park bill.

sHROUDED IN MYSTERY.

The general tenor of the press COM
ments on the withdrawal or abdication
of Speaker Henderson is that the rea-
son is shrouded in mystery. Some be-
lieve he saw defeat staring him in the
face, but this is not generally accepted.
1t is mysterious act, perhaps the most
inexplieable in the annals of American
politics if he sticks to his determination
not to run. OF course, If after his letter,
he should be prevailed upon to re-enter
the race, it will be seen that he had in
view a grand-stand play to force his con-
stituents, who do not agree with him
On the tariff, to accept him and clamor
for the opportunity of voting for him
and against their avowed convictions.
