AFTER a sickness covering a period
OF nearly two years, during which time
the brave and dauntless spirit has
borne up with remarkable courage,
Hon. Samuel ]. Randall, member of
Congress from Pennsylvania (repre-
senting the Philadelphia district died
at his residence in Washington CITY
at S O'Clock Sunday morning. In his
death the country loses one of its
purest public men, and the Democratic
party one of its ablest leaders. The
people of the South will revere the
memory of Samuel ]. Randall. In
him they found a true friend and able
defender in the time of their greatest
need.

The applause which greeted his
[Boyle's] acquittal is a disgrace to
Raleigh and to the State, and the de-
mand for a speech from him was an
outrage. We are glad to know that
the Raleigh press, as we'll as the best
people of the city, denounced the
scene in the court house and sincerely
regret that it ocCurred.-SaHsburr

Then why hold the people OF Raj
eigh responsible for the action of a
few though:less persons F.? Might as
well denounce the whole community
for the crime one man committed in
their midst. We protest that it is not
just. Since "the Raleigh press, as
we'll as the best people Of the city, de
nounce the scene in the court house, :"
and we desire to add that they have
been outspoken and positive in their
condemnation of such a shameful pro-
ceeding hold the whole popu-
lace responsible? The people of Raj
elgh as whole are no more to blame
for the actions of few individuals,
than are those of Salisbury Or Hender-
son.

HON. SAMUEL j. RANDALL DEAD.
A Notable Political Career Brought
to a Close.

i WASHINGTON, April 13.-Hon
Samuel ]. Randall, member ofCongress
from the Third District philadelphia
of Pennsylvania and ex-Speaker of the
House of Representatives, died at his
residence on Capitol Hill this morning
just as the bells of a neighboring church
were tolling five O'Clock. A few
moments before his death he had
opened his eyes, and looking tenderly
at his wife, who bent over him, said in
low tone, " Mother" word instinct
with all the fondest recollections of
their long and happy married life, and
by which he always called his wife
! when none but the family were near.
He looked into her eyes as if he were
about to say something more, but he
seemed to have no strength left, and
in few moments he had passed away.
Death had come with the coming of
the dawn. The watchers saw that all
was over, and the brave wife and
daughter, who had nursed and cared
for him during his long illness, could
restrain their feelings no longer, but
gave way to their grief, while the ply
sician and Mr.. Wanamaker endea. ored
to console them as best they might,
though their own grief hardly per-
mitted them to speak.
Mr.. Randall's death had been ex-
pected at any time during the past
three days, and his family and friends
knew that he could not last much
longer. The physicians had informed
the family that death might come at
any hour, and last night they told Mr..
Randall that his endurance could not |
prolong his life through another day.
His death was painless,a land he was I'M
conscious during the greater part of
his last hours. There were intervals
when from the intelligent and steady
gaze which he directed at those about |
him, he must have been conscious. !
Death came from exhaustion. Around |
him were Mrs. Randall, Miss Susan
Randall, Mrs. Lancaster the married |
daughter, with her husband, Samuel
Randall, Jr., Robert E. Randall,
brother of the deceased, DR.. Mallan,
Postmaster General Wanamaker and |
the household servants.
The shock was especially severe to
Mrs. Randall and her daughter Susan,
who, rejecting all offers of assistance,
have nursed the husband and father
through his illness of almost two years
duration. Their grief was touching in
the extreme, and the gentlemen pres
ent allowed them to indulge it alone
for some minutes.

WE are desperately in earnest about
the Nashville railroad and insist that
steps be taken to secure it before it is
too late. Henderson will be great
loser if the road is built on to Raleigh.
We feel sure that with proper efforts
we can secure the road, and believe
our people and those or the pro-
posed route will do all that is reasona-
bly, within their power to aid and en-
courage the building of it.

ONE of the greatest drawbacks to
the prosperity of the agricultural
classes is bad country roads. Good
roads mean thrift, liberality and wealth.
They mean good farms and good
real estate values. Then why do not our
people pay more attention to this i'm
portant matter?

How incompetent and shortsighted
many of our present aldermen are.
They will allow their personal hatred
to act unjustly, is again illustrated
by Alderman Guerguin, who report
ed in the petition of the Cremation
association adversely, just because he
did not take time to inquire into the
matter. The association is charged
by him as speculationg in property,
and therefore taxation could not be
RENTED. Do you know, Mr.. Guer-
gum, what to speculate means? I
am satisfied you do not. We have
bought and have received as donation
q parcel of land to build a crematory.
The building of the house overreached
our means; we became indebted, and
the only means to save ourselves from
being sold out we have decided to sell
a part of the lot. The price asked is
in accordance with the times, but We
by no means desire to speculate. We
simply wish to pay our debts, and the
honorable council should reconsider
this matter at once, giving us the
same benefit as every graveyard has,
whether the body inferred is eaten by
worms or purified by fire.

A RightfuI Kick.
Editor of the LIGHT:

Editor of the LIGHT:
knowing that you take up all we'll
grounded communications from citi.
zens, irrespective of color or partisan
ship, L take the liberty of submitting
the following to you and through
your medium to my fellow citizens of
the Seventh ward:
Nearly all streets in the city are
more or less graded aud fixed for the
ever increasing traffic, but one of our
main thoroughfares, Goliad street,
from Santa Clara street southeast,
has been entirely neglected. This,
we presume, is due to the efforts
of our alderman. Will thank the
Lord we soon will have a city election
and our only hope is that we will be
able to elect one who will do some.
thing for this so much neglected
street. In order that you may judge
of the correctness of my statement,
please do send one of your reporters
out here a-toot, or even in a buggy,
but please take the precaut ton to give
him two horses to pull him through.
The citizens of Santa Clara have re-
ceived orders six months ago to lay
sidewalks by the 18th OF August;
some of them foOlishly complied with
the order, the smart ones did not,
and today we have great fish pond
on that street. Let the citizens do
their part and let the city grade the
streets first, before they give orders
to lay sidewalks.
1t is almost an impossibility for a
team to get through, but this does
not concern our dear city admins
tration," but they may find out to
their sorrow, that it was some of theiI
| concern.
Another item. One street is pitch
dark after nightfall, unless the moon
chances to give us light, but no ligh,
has been granted to the people or
GOliad and Santa Clara street, though
petitions for it have been sent it, anC
taxes have to be paid regularly, but ,
time will come when the present
dear city administration" will g,
sky-high.
will close my TRADE, knowing
that it is simply an outburst of on
citizen, with whom many in thi
street will sympathize, and who a
the polls will have some votes to com
mand. Yours, etc.,
