FIGHTS HIS LAST BATTLE.
Rear Admiral William T. Sampson
U. s. Navy, Dies at Washington.

Washingt ton, May 6.-Rear Admiral
VIM. T. Sampson, retired, died at his
home in this city at o'clock this even
ing. The immediate cause was severe
cerebral hemorrhage. He had been in
semi conscious state for several days
and this evening suffered severe cere-
bral hemorrhage.
At the bedside when the Admiral
breathed his last were Mrs. Sampson,
Mrs. Cluverius, the Admir- ais married
daue liter; Admiral SIMPSONS two
young sons, Ralph and Herold Samp-
son; DR.. Dixon, the attending physician,
and nurses and attendants.
Mrs. Sampson has broken down IN
der the severe strain aud was quite i'll
all during the day
The ARRANGEMENTS for the funeral of
Admiral Sampson will not be completed
until to. morrow. 1t has been suggested
to Mrs. Sampson that the Naval Gene
terry at Annapolis would be proper
place for the last resting place of the re
mains, while other friends have repre-
sented to her that he should be buried
in Arlington Cemetery, near this city.
Admiral Sampson resided in Annap
oils eight years, during four years Of
which he was Superintendent of the
academy there. Mrs. Sampson prefers
Annapolis.
Mrs. Sampson suffered slight acct
dent four days ago while attending to
the wants of the Admiral and has been
in bed since. She probably will not be
able to attend the funeral services.

MIR. BRYAN's LECTURE.

Our synopsis of this lecture, though
long enough, does not do either the
lecture or the lecturer justice. W.
touch it, as it were, in high places
which leaves it lacking the full,
rounded beauty of the periods, the fine,
fascinating symmetry of the sentences,
the honest, earnest, magnetic presence
of the man.
1t is too big a subject to attempt any
exhaustive comment upon. It bristles
with too many truths, to undertake to
emphasize them here. But we shall
draw from them now and then, ad
llbitum, as we have drawn from him
heretofore.
1t was a great speech of great man.
1t lacked something, however, of the
fire and energy he was won't to send
forth in the days of '96 and 1900.
Nevertheless it was an eloquent. dis
passiona te, unanswerable argument
for the Republic against the Empire,
for the Citizen against the Corporation,
for the honest dollar of our daddies
against the fuctuatlng. dishonest
coinage of the money trust.
Mr.. Bryan seems to have few if any
political secrets. In private converse
tion he discusses public men and
measures with seeming perfect freedom.
Privately. as well as publicly, he ex-
pressed great admiration and INDUCED
in ''great expectation" for Senator
Carmack of Tennessee.
AS for David Bennett Hill of New
York, he had just as well know and
understand now. as he doubtless does,
that he will not be the Democratic
nominee for President in 1904, or any
other old year, if William Jennings
Bryan of Nebraska, can prevent it.
And one Arthur P. German of Mary
land, will have the same rocky road to
climb before he gets there.
AS for the great Nebraskan himself,
we do not believe he is a candidate or
that he desires the nomination. He
woul Id doubtless accept it, however
rather than see it go to Hill or Cor
man, or anyone of like weak faith.
In our opinion, Mr.. Bryan had
rather write the National Democratic
platform in 1904, than to be the nomi
nee and so far as the Herald is con-
cerned he is more than welcome to do
both.

The Board Of Mayor and Aldermen
met last night to hear the repor
from the committee appointed to ap
praise certain lands to be effected by
the new depot ordinance. if it should
pass it's final reading. The Board seem
ed to have their heads set in favor Of
the proposition, and, more than likely,
passed the ordinance. But that il
nearer the beginning than the e1d of
the matter, provided those who oppose
the proposition will defend their
rights. And those who will not defend
their rights, deserve to lose them.
The law, as we understand and be-
lieve it to be, is this: No mans prop
erty can be condemned for public
uses, unless the public welfare re-
quires it. The Board may offer cit
izen two or three or four times the
actual value of his property, and if he
consents or acquiesces they can take it !;
but it matters not what they offer
him. if he refuses they cannot take it
without establishing the fact that the
public welfare requires lit. Or, to
accept the view held by some of the
lawyers, if the citizen can prove that
the public welfare does not require
it, he can defeat the condemnation.
So much as to the private property
effected. When it comes to closing a
public street, any citizen of Columbia
can ask the courts for a restraining
order, which will be granted if it
can be shown that the 'public well
fare" does not require it. In other
words, if the case is carried into the
courts, and the compliments can show
that the streets now open are fully
capable Of accommodating, with all
convenience, the public travel; that
there is no public necessity or welfare
requiring the closing Of these streets
and the opening Of new ones, then
no private property can be condemned
and taken for the purpose of closing
these streets, or any one of them, and
opening new ones. There are only
two legal methods for closing streets
or condemning private property. One
is by the consent of all parties in
terested. The other is, the public
welfare requiring it. II all parties
whose property will be damaged by
the passage of this proposed new depot
ordinance, consent, or acquiesce, the

Teddy Roosevelt, the Accident, wrote
a book. Comparatively few outside
the narrow circle of his intimate
friends knew that fact, for Teddy
book didn't amount to much. But
when the author became President,
people began to open his book to see
what he had said; and that was the
beginning Of Teddy's undoing. He
said all sorts of narrow, prejudiced,
fool things among others comparing
Jefferson Davis to Benedict Arnold.
If President Davis was traitor, Lee
and Jackson, johnson, Beauregard,
Forrest, and all the generals who
fought under him, and the men who
fought under them, were traitors. One
might possess himself with patience
to ignore such vaporings of a fool;
but when we turn from Teddy the
Fool to Teddy the Patriot. and read
his laudations of the South and the
brave heroes who wore the gray

listen to the blarney of his deceitful

neck and kick him off the face of the
earth; the snivelling, hypocritical,

pie were entitled to the information
earlier, that they might study it

ures belong more to the people than
they do to the servants of the people !;
and shonld be submitted to the people
for their jud gment and discussion be-
fore they are turned over to the Board

dark, even for day7 What objection
have they to the people knowing the
facts and discussing them2 Why is
it that the parties most interested in
an important business transaction
should be made the last to be told about

the proposition for the findings of the

possible. But are the gentlemen work

The beef trust will be blessing il
disguise if it serves as an object lesson
to teach the country just exactly what
trust is The same principles obtain
in all trusts and one trust is no more
culpable or reprehensible than another.
The beef trust is no worse than the
steel trust. The steel trust is no worse
than the insurance trust. The insur-
ance trust is no worse than the railroad
trust. The railroad tust is no worse
than the phosphate trust. The phos-
phate trust is no worse than the tariff
trust, or the worse kind of all trusts
the money trust. And last but not
least, there is no consistency in any
man belonging to one trust and COM
planning at another. If he enters into
conspiracy to rob people, he should
not complain if other people conspire
to rob him. The trust idea appeals to
the cupidity of men, and like the
gambling habit seizes upon man
and makes him think he, of all men,
can win by it. 1t is as pernicious
and false as a governmental theory,
as the gambling habit is as a business
principle. The way to fight any par
ticular trust is to fight the trust
idea. And the only practical way Is to
fight the party of trusts.

The farmers Of Maury county are

in their lives. perhaps This was
shown by last Mondays crowd being
the smallest first Monday crowd seen

For this reason. and for the further
reason that Judge Holding has no OPP
I pOnent, and the Attorney General con-
test is seemingly one-sided, there will
likely be an unusually small vote.
And yet it ought not to be so. When
a party primary is called. party men
ought to vote in it. They should
show that much interest in the party
organization. and that much concern
for the nominees that are to be. Hence
we urge upon our Democratic readers
to steal an hour from their work to-
morrow to attend the primary.

No one thing could be of more benefit
to the agricultural and stock raising
interests of the State than a complete
and well-managed display of these
interests. Such fair would be of
great educational and practical value, !"
says the Nashville News And that is
all right to that point. But the trouble
will be in the postscript that will be

provide that the aforesaid Estate Fair
shall be located in Nashville, and that
the solons must appropriate literally of
