The friend 8 of President Eooae velt, who seem to be anxious for re ciprocity with Cuba, say the action of the "insurgents" in the Senate has not "defeated," but only "de layed" reciprocity, that the Presi dent proposes to push it aud will negotiate a treaty with Cuba, but not now. He will wait until the next session of Congress, by which time he thinks he can have the wires fixed and put it through. He has been discussing the matter with the Senators, who are co-operating with him, the result of which is thus substantially given by the Washington Post: All idea of submitting a reciprocity treaty with Cuba to the Senate at this session of Congress has been aban doned. , , . President Roosevelt has discussed with a number of Senators the advisa bility of negotiating a treaty with Cuba, and while it is not only proable, but almost certain, that he will pursue this course, it is equally certain that he will not attempt to briag the treaty to the immediate attention or tne senate. First of all, it would require two or three weeks to properly frame the treaty, for its terms would have to be submitted to President Palma before Minister Quesada could finally accept them. Consequently, Congress would be ready to adjourn before, the treaty had been signed. A. more important consideration, however, is the knowledge which the President possesses that he cannot rely at this time upon the Democratic rotes necessary to ratify the treaty. Eren if all the Republicans should vote for it, it would still be necessary to secure the support of six Democrats, sad this seems impossible at this time. The Democrats fully appreciate the predicament in which the Republicans find themselves, and do not propose as one Democratic Senator expressed himself yesterday, to pull the Presi dent's chestnuts out of the fire. It is to the advantage of the Democrats to prolong and emphasize the division in the Republican ranks. Besides this, quite a number of Dem ocratic Senators who would ordinarily be willing to vote for a reciprocity treaty insist that such a treaty, to se cure their support, must provide for the reduction of the tariff upon manu factured articles. This is the position of Senator Bailey, who said yesterday that it would be unwise for the Demo crats to vote for a treaty which gare concessions to raw sugar and thus benefitted the sugar trust, while it made no reduction in refined sugar. Mr. Bailey says that the Democratic policy has always been to avoid dis crimination in lowering the tariff, and that a reciprocity treaty with Cuba would be in opposition to this policy. Therefore, he could not see how the Democrats would support it The President fully realizes this sit uation as regards the Democrats, but he feels that if the matter goes over to the next session of Congress the po litical equation, which is now such a factor in the situation, will be elimi nated. He thinks that then the Demo crats will be willing to vote for the treaty. At any rate, the probability is that the effort to secure their sup port will be made. It is hardly likely that an extra session either the Senate or of Congress will be called. The Cabinet is almost unanimously opposed to an extra session of both Houses, and the President will not call the Senate together unless the conditions in Cuba grow so much worse that immediate action is made compulsory. It is pos sible that if nothing is done in the meantime the President will ask Con gress to begin its session next October or November instead of waiting until December. Mr. Roosevelt is doubtless sincere in his advocacy of and desire for reciprocity, for he feels that his party is committed to it, and it is somewhat humiliating to him to be checkmated and defeated by a hand ful of Senators representing the beet sugar industry, which, as an industry compared with some others which are much interested in reci procity with Cuba, is a very small one. The defeat of the party and the humiliation is all the greater in view of the almost unanimous vote by which the reciprocity bill passed the House of Representatives 308 for to 2 against. The presumption was when it passed the House by such an over whelming vote as this that it would go through the Senate in practi cally the same shape, but the Senate is a close corporation and it doesn't take many determined Senators to block proceedings and prevent action by that body. In this case seven teen, with a pledged reinforcement of two more in case of need, did the work, held the House bill up, ig nored the party's pledges and defied the President. If the House, bill had come before the Senate it would have been passed, but these seven teen, representatives of the Oxnard beet sugar combine, controlled the Senate committee and strangled the bill in committee. In a case like that a committee is all powerful. But when Mr. Roosevelt nego. tiates his treaty will he not be in a somewhat embarrassing position? If the treaty he presents to the Senate provides for a reduction of the differ ential duty on refined sugars he will have the Sugar Trust to fight and he will have against him some of the protection Senators, who worship the Sugar Trust, if not for its own sake for the sake of the liberal campaign contributions, which coma in v handy in election times. This Trust has its representatives in the Senate, who will stand as firjnlv hv it ,a Senators stood by President Oxnard - and hi beet sugar factories: an flint. it ii exceedingly' doubtful if suo a treaty, as may be negotiated would - not meet .with the same fate &a . n - recforocitY bill- be opposed bv -.' the beet and cane sugar men because it mail a rr reduction on raw lugar, - j th a Democratic Senators -sxi. mnaifhlvA few axcectioni be- cause it did not include refined sugars in whatever reductions might be made. For a grand old party whichj as thev have so often boasted "does things" they are making a pitiable exhibition of Weakness on the part of those who pretend to desire to carry out its pledges, and of obdu rate disregard of those pledges by the representatives of a greedy, un reasonable and arrogant industry, which already has four times the protection it ought to have the gall to ask for much less impudently demand. But notwithstanding their conten tions and wrangling and the appar ent antagonism between them it will be noticed that they are all playing reciprocity for politics. The Presi dent, as anxious as he seems for it, has dropped it for the present, until after the Fall elections, so as to pre vent carrying the fight into the sugar States, causing divisions and running the risk of losing Congressmen. Mr. Oxnard and other sngar men who have heretofore contributed liberally to Republican campaign funds knew what they were doing and how to touch a sensitive spot when they declared that if the reciprocity bill were passed they would never contribute another dollar to Repub lican campaign funds. They felt pretty sure that would work, and it did. Satisfied with the outcome so far they do not care to have the matter agitated in their States, for the same reason that the friends of reciprocity do not, for they too are afraid of divisions in the party which would lose Republican Con gressmen, and that would be bad for them. As it is it is bad for all of them and;they are trying to make the best of the situation by sticking to gether, their main purpose now be ing to humbug the people who ex pect parties to keep their pledges. Reciprocity with Cuba, notwith standing their professions and the interest President Roosevelt takes in it, is a dead duck. 13 IT RULE OR RUrHT Wm. J. Bryan does not like G ro ver Cleveland. This was known before the pronunciamento on Cleveland which appeared in our press dispatches yesterday. There are a good many Democrats who do not like Grover Cleveland, and a good many of them who have stood by Wm. J. Bryan in two campaigns, when he was twice honored by being made the standard bearer of the party, who will not like his proun ciamento, which is entirely too much characterized by the dictato rial, rule or ruin spirit. If he confined his own denuncia tion to Grover Cleveland it might be looked upon somewhat in the light of a personal feeling but he assails David B. Hill as even mbre danger ous than Cleveland because not so candid, and the probabilities are that he would extend his arraign ment to any one else who did not support him in either of his races for the Presidency. Mr. Bryan is entitled to his . opin ions and resentments, and has the right to express them, but he has no right to dictate for the Demo cratic party and lay down the con ditions by which those who refused to support him can come back into the party now. He has no right to insist that they must cry piccavi and humbly ask to be forgiven be fore they are taken into fellowship again. We are not defending Cleveland, for he did some things that we do not approve of any more than Mr. Bryan does, but we do not endorse the proposition that every man who once voted with the party and went off with Mr. Cleveland must acknowledge himself a rene gade and express contrition before he can co-operate with the Demo crats who stood on the platforms of 1896 and 1900 and supported Bryan. There is no use in talking of harmo ny which will make no concessions, and when Mr. Bryan talks in the radj ical way he does he is inconsistent with himself, because he voted for Cleveland whom he so sharply ar raigns, and he also subordinated the money question, which was the lead ing issue in 1896, to the expansion question in 1900. If we expect to make a successful fight in the next election we must get together, and we can't get to gether if all who differ insist on hay ing their own way In getting to gether. That Lynn, Mass., man who cut his wife's throat because she ate a cucumber.didn't have any prejudice against cucumbers, but it was his cucumber that she ate. He had fixed it up just to suit him, expecting to picnic on it when he got home. In the meantime she devoured it, and that made him so wrathy that he couldn't refrain from punishing her and he cut her throat. What an awful hankering he must have had for cucumbers.

The extremities to which the sup porters of the Philippine policy have been driven to justify and defend the atrocities perpetrated in the Philippines are illustrated by their citations in the debate in the House of Representatives Monday of atroci tios perpetrated during the war be. tween the States, as if one wrong justified another. Mr. Grosvenor quoted from the reports of Gen. Grant showing the drastio measures to which he had resorted to cripple the Confederate armies by destroy ing the means of transportion, seiz ing and holding as prisoners of war all males capable of bearing arms, and covering the food-producing dis tricts into "howling wildernesses'" These are shameful chapters of history that the victors made in a war where they had three fighting men to one, chapters which for the sake of the victors might well be kept in the dark, but these desperate defenders of Bavagery in the Philip pines trumpet them to the four corners of the earth, in defence, (and a wretchedly poor one), of the savagery perpetrated to foroe their "benevolent assimilation" policy. For years it arroused their indig nation when Sherman and Sheridan, whose lines of march were marked by ruin and desolation, were called vandals and incendiaries, and they did their best to throw the respon sibility for much of the incendiarism on the Confederates, but now in their insane efforts to (justify wreck and ruin and barbarity ;in the Philip pines, they quote as history and as an illustration that "war ishell." Yes, war is hell under any circumstances, and they did their best' to make it more of a hell and to add to its horrors. With an effrontery that is equal led only by its stupidity, they de claim on the sufferings of the Fed eral prisoners in Southern prisons, how they were starved, &c, wh6n the South was doing all it could do to care for them humanely after their friends had reduced the country as iar as they could to a ''howling wilderness," to starve the Confederate armies out. They knew the straits to which the South had been reduced, they knew the con dition of the Federal prisoners in the South, but they refused to exchange preferring to let Confederate prison ers die in Northern prisons and Fed eral priaonersdie in Southern prisons because, as Gen. Grant said, when the question of exchange was sub mitted to him, the North "could afford to lose three men to the one the South could afford to lose." Here is the brutal reason given for it by Mr. Mahon, one of the apol ogists for brutality perpetrated by Federal Generals in the South and for the barbarity now being perpe trated in the Philippines. Asked by Mr. Richardson if there was not a standing offer of exchange of pris oners by the Confederate Govern ment,he answerd: "Yes. Bat the men in Anderson- yille were broken, emaciated, many of them maniacs. The North refused to exchange able-bodied men for men who could not perform military ser vice." That was the defence for the re fusal to exchange, by a Government which had three men to the South's one, and had the world to draw from. They permitted these North ern soldiers, "broken in health, emaciated and many 'of them ma niacs," -to remain, suffer and die when a word would have liberated them. Was there ever such heart less, cold-blooded brutality so pub licly confessed? But that does not justify nor ex tenuate the savage brutality in the Philippines, which they are trying to defend. Two wrongs do not make a right. One act of savagery by a "hell" maker does not justify other deeds of savagery, which they vigorously denied until they were proven and could be denied no longer.

Newton Enterprise: The re ports from all parts of the county are that the creeks were higher Monday than at any time last year. The low land corn is badly damaged and some lands will have to be replanted. Mr. George Bolick left with us the other day several heads of wheat about six inches long, containing about CO grains to the head. While wheat is very thin on the ground this year, the heads, as a rule are unusual ly large. Mr. Cicero Oline has brought us a sample of cane seed. It was gathered from the ordinary swamp cane and everybody says it is the first they ever saw. Mr. uiine says the canes on Clark's creek this year are full of seed. In appearance they are like oats, except a;mue iagr er. Gastonia Gazette: The Modena Cotton Mill has sold homes to some of its operatives on the building and loan or instalment pain. The thresher companies will not declare any great dividends this year. The crop is so short that it will in some cases take two or three plantations to furnish a threshing. Mr. T. M. Ferguson, who washers Wednesday to bring a mill ing of last year's wheat informs us that from a sowing of 12 bushels in 1900 he harvested 225, and from 14 bushels on poorer land in 1901 he made 165, while this year from 14 bushels sown he will be surprised if he makes over 75 bushels. Mr. w. hi. sparrow. one of the foremost farmers of the Clo ver section, will get, we are told, only about 145 shocks, where last year he made 60O shocks. Jfayettville Observer: A very serious affair occurred near Cameron about dark Saturday evening, which resulted in the death of Pat Pierce, and the serious Injury of Neil Black, his slayer. Black, who. formerly resided In this city with his family and w for years boss of the C. F. & Y. V. material train force, was the man who did the killing. It appears there has been a feud existing between Black and Pierce, who are near neighbors, for some time. Saturday they were in Cameron together with friends of both, when an argument arose, but no trouble resulted until later on. They left town in the same wagon, and when two miles out the dispute was renewed and Pierce cut Black with his knife to a degree which he' thought was fatal. Black pulled his revolver and shot Pierce through the heart. killing him Instantly, black is serious ly injured, but it is not thought that he will die. . CURRENT COMMENT. In case the Hon.

The cotton market opened firm with prices un changed to five points higher and continued to work steadily upward during the next half hour on eager demand from shorts and brisk foreign buying, added to which was some bull support and commission house buy ing. The dominating influence on the opening was the cable news which portrayed a firm market in Liver pool. Reports of King Edward's illness and that the coronation has been indefinitely postponed, occasioned some uneasinesss among the - bulls, but later were over topped in point of influence by the dry weather news from Texas and the increased demand for spot cotton noted in nearly all quarters.- There was a partial reaction later in the morning under selling for profits by the more timid longs, in part due to a further reaction from the top in the Liverpool market and in part to weak ness in the stock: market; but the weekly government crop weather report which came out at mid day once more turned the scale In the bulls' favor and for 'the rest of the session the tendency was steadily upward with prices closing about top. Shorts were nervous buy ers the last hour with prominent Greek, spot cotton men here and the K"trCOntinnt PPtly the leading bidders. The 8outh was a moderate buyer on the late advance and Europe, too, seemed Jo be" absorb ing Pall months offerings. The mark et was finally steady with prices net three to eleven points higher. Total sales were estimated at 125,000 bales. YOB J ane 24. Cotton steady at 9jrfc; net receipts 165 bales; gross receipts 201 bales; stock 157,690 SOm.

Markets on the board of trade were badly mixed to day. Whereas yesterday everything had an upward trend, to-day each pit was at variance with the others. Ma nipulation seemed to be to blame for the irregularity or action ana the ner vousness of 'traders. Every pit had auick turns, now strong, now weak. The gossip that the elevators had July wheat in control, that the Gates crowd had July corn cornered, that July oats were being strongly advanced by manipulation and that the packing house interests were artificially Dooming provisions, made tbe outsiders fight shy of the pits and left most of the business to the pro fessionals After strained fluctuations July wheat closed a shade higher.
