Another condition that confronts the
CITY Council as direct result of grant
ing Alright of way through Dingle street
to the Northwestern is the liability OF
the city for damages to property
owners whose right in the street have
been curtaiIed and their property
rendered less accessible from the
street A similar case was recently
decided by the Supreme Court, where
it was held that the town of Gaffney
was liable for all damages to property,
because it was not specified IN the
grant that the railroad receiving the
grant should assume liability for ali
damage sustained by abutting prop.
erty owners.
Much more could be said in refer
ence to this matter, but we believe
the people of Sumter have a clear
understanding of the conditions, and
lengthy discussions do little good.
The question Of the greatest moment
is, What relief has the city?
From the information which we
have before us, we believe that the
track of the Northwestern Railroad
encroaches upon the right of way
previously granted the Sumter &
Wateree; that ample and sufficient
room has net been left for the free
use of the street by pedestrians and
vehicles, and that the terms of the
grant not having been complied with,
the grant is vitiated and Of no effect
If the Northwestern Railroad is
required TO remove its track from
Dingle Street and Dingle Street ex
tension the damage to that road will
not be serious, merely the cost of
laying the track, and there are sew
eral routes open to that road for
leaving the city If the track is
permitted to remain, the Sumter &
Wateree will be permanently dam
aged, and there is no remedy for the
injury to the terminals of that road,
nor is there any relief for the prop.

Wm. j Bryan has written a letter
to the Freeno Democrat giving his
views on imperialism He says in
part 81 tank it can be shown from
a pecuniary standpoint that it will
cost US more to conquer the Filipinos
and keep them in subsection than we
shall be able to make out of the
enterprise, and that money which
does return from the Philippines will
not find its, way to the pockets of
those who supply sons for the army
and whose taxation furnishes sinews
of war. But there is a higher view
to take of it than the money view
The principle of the conquest is
wrong Our nation has steadily
contended against it, and it is impos
sible to calculate the far. reaching
effect upon our people of a doctrine
that would substitute force for reason
in the declaration of the natlon's
policy. Those who oppose imperial
ism plead not for the Filipinos ; bat
for the American people. Our nation
is strong enough to do harm but il
ought to be too great to do wrong
| feel confident that the sober second
thought of the American people viii
sustain those who believe that the
Filipinos should be treated like the
Cubans, namely, given their inde
pepdence and protected from outside
| interference"
