CHAIRMAN SIMMONS WILL DECLINE
REELECTION.

Yesterdays Messenger announced in a
special telegram from Raleigh that it
was rumore there that Serato Sim
mons would decline re-eIection as chair
man of the state executive committee
at it's meeting to be held in Raleigh
next Tuesday. There Is no doubt that
if the senator desired reelection he
valiant work for the party as it's leader
in this state during several campaigns
and is deserving of great praise for
leading his party to victory on more
than one occasion. BIT for two reasons
we think it Well hat during the coming
campaign we should have some other
leader. In the first place. we do not
think it exactly proper that this posi-
ton should be held by q mar holding an
office under the federal government.
Each position has a tendency to handi-
cap him in his performance of the
duties of the other, ana, in the second
place, with all due respect to Mr.. Sim
mons sagacity as - political leader and
recognizing fully n having perfect
confidence in his patriotism and party
fealty, we think he made a great mis-
take in attempting In his recent adj
dress to the democrats of the state, to
make the negro questi IN the keynote of
the campaign. We judge from the tone
of the editorial comments thereon of
nearly every democratic newspaper in
the state that these nc Hspapers and the
democratic voters they represent are
O in accord with him On this point,
and we deem it best that in this cam
paign we should have a leader whose
views as to the main issue before the
people should agree with those Of the
rank and file, the bone n sinew of
the party.

Reports that the st. Louis and San
Francisco Have Acquired Control
Of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois

New York, July 30.-Reports from
San Francisco received here this after
noon state that the ST. Louis and San
Francisco has acquired control of the
Chicago n Eastern Illinois. Two di-
rectors of the Frisco who were seen
refused to confirm or deny the report.
II. II. Porter, who represents the on
trolling interests in Chicago and East
ern Illinois declined to discuss the mat
ter at all. The San Francisco dispatch
eS stated also that the control Of the
St. Louis and San Francisco road now
rested with the Southern Railway. A
representative of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
denied this last report.
President Yoakum, of St. Louis and
San francisco road would Dot talk
about the alleged deal and all other in
tereSted parties take the same attitude.
The terms Of the lease, according to re-
port are that certificates of control will
be issued in exchange for existing
Chicago and Eastern Illinois stock on
the basis Of approximately 2h certin-
Gates FOR n share of stock. These GER
tificates are to bear 4 per cent inter
est and will be a direct obligation OF
the Frisco road. the Chicago and East
ern illinois stock being the collateral
for such certificates.

TO BOOM

The Evening News of Richmond, Va,
publishes a statement from it's New
York correspondent hat the Ochs
newspaper syndicate has been formed
for the purpose of booming Grover
Cleveland for the presidency on the
democratic ticket in 1904. The readers
of The Messenger will remember that
Mr.. Adolph S. Ochs, owner of The
Chattanooga Times, formed d syndicate
not long 6 which purchased The New
York Times. A little later it bought
the Philadelphia Times and has now
secured the Philadelphia Public Ledg-
er. lit is also announced that the
New York Commercial Advertiser will
become the afternoon issue of The
Times, of that city and that the syndi-
cate has secured control of a leading
Washington City newspaper. This
for a twenty-story building, to cost
$4,000, 900, for its publishing house in
New York.
The newspapers recently purchased
by his syndicate represent an outlay
of over $4,000. 900. Add to this the pro-
posed new building and the purchase
of the Commercial Advertiser and the
Washington City paper and we have
an investment of about SO, 000, 900.
There must be some men of great
wealth n influence behind Mr.. Ochs.
They must be men who have some ob-
ject in view other than simply form
ing a syndicate OF newspapers for the
profits to be made u of their publi-
cation. This object The News CORE
spondent says i'll time will be made
public by the announcement Of each
newspaper owned by the syndicate of
its support of Mr.. Cleveland as presi-
Dental candidate in 1904. If such is the
purpose of this syndicate and it's papers
do use their best e~ndeavors to secure
the nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland it will
have great influence. n h power of
this portion Of the press will be felt in
democratic circles.

CUBA AND THE SOUTH.

The southern states have greater in
terest in our government forming close
commercial relations with Cuba than
has any other section of the country,
and the people here most concerned are
the cotton manufacturers. For obvi-
Gus reasons the southern states are
entitled TO the trade with the island in
cotton goods, and were the government
to make such treaties of with
her as to draw that trade from
Europe il would come to this section.
This perhaps may be one reason why
the republicans in congress are opposed
to granting to Cuba reciprocity on her
Iexports- Could the cotton mills of the
south supply the Cuban market they
would AVE a great advantage over the
mills of the north. Reciprocity would
Establish this trade, and the northern
mill men and their republican friends
in know it. They throw OBJ
Istacles in the way of opening up trade
with Cuba, at the same time making
strenuous efforts to advance our COM
lmercial interests in the utmost parts
of the earth where the northern manu-
lfacturers will lave equal, if not great
Ter, advantages as hose of the outh.
The Cubans, by reason OF their eli
mate, are large consumers of products
of cotton mills. WOODEN goods, because
OF the heat, are little used. and the is
flanders prefer cotton goods for cloth
ling on account OF their cheapness and
durability. 1t may be said that cotton
cloths form the apparel of the masses
lof the Cubans.
During the last fiscal year there were
imported into the island of Cuba over
Sc. 0Oe, 900 worth of cotton cloths. This,

II must be remembered, vas during a
period when Cuba was Just beginning
TO GOV from the results of the Span
ish war. The people were poverty
stricken; trade was demoralIzed and
the affairs OF the island terribly unset
tied. 1t is estimated hat in a very
short while the island will import cot
ton goods annually TO the value Of &c.
00O0, 900. OF the $780, 900 worth of cot
ton goods taken by the Cubans last
year the United States furnished only
$464, 900, the balance coming from Eu-
rope. In other words, European manu-
f~acturers took our raw cotton, manu-
featured il and sent il back almost to
Dur very doors, they making the profits
lures from our raw product that the
southern mills should have had.
When Cuba begins TO take SO, 000, 600
worth annually of the products Of cot
ton mills the south can furnish at least
s., 600, 900 of it if the government Will
carry out its pledges and keep its NOR
al obligations with the young republic.
The northern cotton mills are in a
life and death struggle with their young
competitors of the south, and they will
leave no stone nturned to prevent the
latter securing an advantage. supply
ing the demands of the Cuban market
would mean victory for the latter, and
they should strain every nerve to Sc
cure this trade. What the south needs
and what she should demand is legis-
lation by the federal government that
will give her command of this Cuban
market, and especially should she de-
mand it when such legislation goes
hand in hand with pledges of the feder-
Cubans.

Itrust-triumvirate; for, after comment
ling on the nature OF the bill Congress
Imam Littlefield is expected to draft
under supervision of the other two.
for introduction at the next session of
congress it has the following to say
Ias to the prospects Of the people for
relief in this direction from a repubIi-
can congress:
"As to the passage by congress of
such legislation, whether or not the ad-
ministration stands stoutly behind ii,
that is another story. Next winters
session will last only about two months
and a half. During the entire long ses-,
just closed, Mr.. Litlefield after
constant and persistent effort was un-
able to get even a vote in committee
on either of his bills. No proposition
for further trust legislation was limited
at by a republican in the senate and
when the publicity feature OF the pres
Iident was proposed as an amendment
Ito the census bill, the entire republican
majority voted against it,"
From this we are forced TO draw M
of two conclusions: Either that Mr..
Roosevelt is not sincere in his assumed
position of hostility to trusts and CON-
binations and in his avowed determi-
nation that they shall be put under
lsubjection; or that the republican par
lty as represented by its senator and
representatives in congress is dia-
Imetrically opposed to the president in
his views on this subject and cannot
be Influenced by him and his co-trium-
virs in the matter Of enacting any
laws that will be inimical to the mil
Ilionaire monopolists of the country.
Whichever may be correct, the result
will be the same, and the people need
expect no relief along this inc so long
as the executive department and the
two branches of congress are in the
hands of the republicans.

ROOSEVELT'S TWO GOVERNMENT
YACHTS.

What a howl our republican friends
made a few years ago when President
ICleveland made use of a government
boat to take a duck hunt!
When President Roosevelt attended
a yacht race in L government boat they
had nothing to say. 1t vas all right-it
was their president who devoted a gov
lernment boat to private use for a few
days.
When President Roosevelt went to his
summer HON On Long Island sounds the
government boat May1ower was order
ed there. and there she has been ever
since, awaiting the pleasure of the pres
.ident during his GUNNER vacation. Still
the republicans have nothing to say.
He is their president, so it is just n
Iproper that the government should
him with a yacht for pleasure
sails n recreation.
But the matter does rot end here. a
few days ago the secretary of the navy,
a "%holdover' from the Mckinley
cabinet, but a gentleman whom Roose-
welt raised from u member of congress
to that important office, (and 1t will be
remembered hat there was quite a
scramble for the place between the
present secretary and another aspirant
for the office when it was learned that
Secretary Long, the then incumbent,
INTENDED resigning) went down to Oys-
ter Bay to see The president on some
pertaining to his office. When
Secretary of the Navy Moody arrived
lat the presidents summer residence
land, looking out over the waters of
Long Island sound he saw but one gov
|ernment boat there at the disposal of
the president as a pleasure yacht he
WAS a]stounded, was stricken with great
remorse at his dareliction Of duty in
failing to properly attend to h COM
fort of his chief in providing him with
la sufficient number of pleasure boats
Iduring his period of rest n recupera-
ltion from the arduous duties of his Of
fetal life; so the secretary flashes a
command over the electric wires to his
second in command whom he had left
i'm Washington In charge the coun-
itry's naval affairs, TO dispatch in all
haste another government boat to Oys-
ter Bay to be puI at Tie disposal of the
president. In consequence h Sylph
has been ordered to the presidents
ISummer home.
So We now see our president making
Iuse of two government vessels for pri-
waite purposes during his summer vaca-
ton. What will III republican press
SAY about this? Nothing.
