Tiiis is 1, in part, to the efforts of the jiideut to bring about harmony bi -en the Republican factions of the wana to senator Gorman's resent- .at of this alleged interference of 1 Chief Executive in State politics I followers of Senator McComas I Representative Mndd have oar f on a long and bitter struggle and j factional diffe: e oes seenied to (efli the Democrats, who are carry on an aggressive campaign, with nee question as an issue, and mods of the fact that the outcome .the election will have a marked Nuance upon the politioal fortunes senator Gorman, the State's oandi- for the Democratic presidential ilnatiou. In raisins the negro Meui to an issue, the Maryland noorats have virtually made a di ' attack on President Roosevelt, :: Mi attitude on this question is tinoally mentioned and con fed. This gives more thbn usual ortance to the fact that the Pree 't has made earnest appeals to the p Republican faotions to unite and 1 a Republican governor and leg 'on. Be declares that he oo.upies absolutely neutral position be 9 the faotions and that be is in 'ted solely in the sucotts of the 7 without any reference to the one . involved. Friends of the "Went believe ' that if Maryland JH go Republican it would serve indorsement, by a State with -tern sympathies, of his attitude !e nergo question, and would les dverte criticism on the subject oople in the North uid West. Gorman was very severe in nttoism of the President, saying: President has assumed to him 'he title of chairman of the State mittee, so - active is he looking ' the details of the campaign. 7 Federal offioe holder and every ant of a State or municipal place a the President believes he can :T1 has been ordered by him to ant and "hustle" for the BepuV 3 ticket. When he was a civil commissioner under the Har 1 Md Cleveland administrations Roosevelt's habit to demnd federal office holder who was politioal oommlttee should resign one or ine otner place. Now that he is president, however, he permits Feder ni omce Holders, appointed either bv 1,1 Li . ' u ui ma Buuurainaies to engage as aotively in a campaign as those who follow private vocations. Every oc cupant of a Federal offloe in Mary. land is openly at work for the Re publican ticket presumably under speoiffio orders from thi President." Prominent members of the House have assured the President that the Cuban reciprocity resolution would be passed at the extra session of con gress. Representative Jones, of Wash ington, who was one of the strongest opponents of ths Curban reoiprooity treaty in the last congress, told the President that ulthough he still op posed the meacr.re personally, he would vote for it when it came up in the House. The beet sugar interests have withdrawn their opposition to the treaty. The discussion will give the Democrats an opportunity to talk against the tariff and it is expected that they will take every advantage of it. Many speeches denouoning the tariff will be useful at home during the coming presidential campaign so they will be delivered in spite of the faot that there is no hope of stopping the passage of the resolution which will make the treaty effective. There is a report that Speaker-to-be-Oannon will enlarge the House committee on rules in order to avoid the necessity of removing Represen tatives Dalzell and Grosvenor, who were on the last oommitete and who are not in entire argeement with the new speaker on the way in whioh the business of the House should be con ducted. Many Republican members would be gald to see these two men omitted in the forming of the new committee, but such action would cause dissension in the party ranss, so the easier way would be to add two more liberal Republicans who would suDDort the speaker. This would necessitate adding another Democrat to the committee ana as there are arleady two Democratio members, the commmittee would be a little nuwieldly. However, this is one of the problems which confront the new .speaker andjn, solving it he should nut lose eight of the fact that many Republicans favor the adoption of more liberal rules, or at "least' an abridgment of the powers or Uaizcu and Grosvenor who are antocratio and dictatorial" advocates of ; the Reed Henderson rules.

CIRCUS DAYS IN GREENVILLE The Barnum & Bailey Circus was the Event of the Week,' the Nile; the Dutch dikes reclaimed only 2,800,000 actes, while the Zuyder Zee dike will reclaim less than 500,- 000 acres. That the 30,000,000, acres of now annually overflowed lands along the lower MisissBippt valley oan, with comparative ease be reclaimed by the government is fully apparent from the reports of every engineering in vestigation ever jnade. Government levees do not brek, and in order to reclaim all this vast area, now large ly impenetrable- swamps, it would only be neoessary jfor the government to bring up to its' , standard' of con struction all State and private levees and to complete the line.

He is a strong advocate of the nation al control of the Mississippi river levee system. Senator Depew advises that be is in hearty sympathy with the objeots and tiinB of the convention. United States Senator M. S. Quay, of Pennsylvania, writes Mr. Luce: "I am in entire sympathy with the pro ject, and will be glud to do whatever I can in its behall. " These are samples of more than five hundred letters from leading men throughout the country, now in pos session of Mr. Luce. The governors of at least . fifteeu States will attend while the presi dents and chairmen, as well as other members of all the Levee Boards.Biv er Improvement Associations,, and many of the Boards of Trades, Cham bers of Commerce, and similar bodies in the Mississippi valley have advised the executive committee of their in tention to come. The object of the executive com mittee has been to secure ine atten dance of the heads of all these bodies, as well as the heads of all the big railroad systems in the Mississippi valley, and in this marked success has been attained. Thus the convention will be probab ly the most representative body ever held in the Mississippi valley, if not in the entire country. The objeot of the Inter-State Mis sissippi Biver Improvement and Levee Association in caning this conven tion was to bring prominently before the congress of the United States end the people of the country the vast good which would result were the , ovjrnment to assume control of and complete the Mississippi river levee system, for thereby would be reclaimed and brought "into cultivation more han 20,000,000 acres of the richest land on the American continent. No land relcamation plan on such an im mense scale has ever before been at tempted the English reclaimed oaly 1,000,000, acres along the banks of length, and arrangements will be made to send a strong delegation to Washington at the proper time. Men who are versed in the matter say that the movement is already backed solidly by thirty States and Territor ies, consequently it is only a matter of time unti!, the government will take control. Labor Unioniim in Greenville. Labor nuionism is growing in this city of Greenville. As. the city ex pands in territory, and grows more important as a trade and manufactur ing center, it is only to be expected that the different trades band them selves into unions for their own pro tection aud keep up with the maroh of progress. Trade unions are a benefit not only to the laborer, but to the whole com munity. The laboring element is generally found on the side of pro gress and reform and when vital,ques tions come before a oommunitr these unions erganized into one body in what is known as Union Trades Counoil, they hold the balance of power, and become an important fac tor in deciding questions of great mo ment in national and local affaire. While unionism sets a scale of wages perhaps higher than i paid nonunion laboiers, the work done by the union laborer la generally better executed and therefore more satisfactory to the employer. Unionism protects the employer as well as the employee. These are but a few benefits derived from unionism, ana no one can reas onably dispute the assertion. that any step taken toward unionism is not an advanoe step in the progress of- any commnnity. . At present Greenville has plumb ers, bricklayers, harness makers, printers and bar tenders unions. The bar tenders' onion has been otganized but a short while but is in a flourish ing condition. As the city progresses more unions in the. different branches of trades will appear, a Union Trades Council will be organimed, which will take an active part ia the develop ment of the city. ' The event of the week in Green ville was the' Barnum & Bailey oir ous. The first train of this vast show arrived on schedule time Snnday morning and the work of unloading the trains and raising 'tent proved very interesting sight to the many who thronged the tracks and show grounds. The ooming of the oirous brought many people of the surround ing territory to the oity, but the late ness of the cotton oiop limited the pocket ohange of many one who would ' have been here had the oirous been a few weeks later in visiting the oity. The parade on Monday morning was a very long one, headed by one of the costliest band wagons in the oountry, whioh was drawn by forty horses. There were many oases of wild animals, a number of brass bands, a fife and drum corps, eto, to enliven the procession. A very pretty feature of-the parade were the floats, allegorical representations, eto., gaily decorated. These float elicited many exelamations of admiration and ave the cavalcade a pleasing nurdl gras effeot aa it passed in review before the thousands of spectators who thrpuifecMh strtets.

The circus left as soon as it could be loaded on the cars for Greenwood. It made only two stops in Mississippi, Greenville and Greewood, and will closi in a few weeks for the season n North Carolina.' The cirous peo ple enjoyed staying in Greenville as much .'as the people of the city en joyed their coming. These people spent the day looking over the levee work and gathering souvenirs of cot ton from nearby fields and to many of them it was their first experience picking ctoton. The newspaper fraternity of the city were glad to meet again Mr. W. H. Coxie, press represenative with the oirous. He vitited the city last sesaon with Ringling Brothers' oirous in the same capacity. Mr. Cox,ie is one of the most accommodating and genial of men in the press service and is remembered pleasantly by all with whom he makes acquaintance in his travels. Very few disturbances resulted from the gathering of so many people as were in the oity circus day, and few arrests were made only for trivial grievances and disorders. The police of the ctiy wl;h the assistance of the oirous detectives handled the crowds admirably and they deserve a great deal of praise for their effective work. Addiional local on last page.
