Something More Than independence

The imperialists' claim that the
American colonists simply struggled
for independence from Great Britain
and did not lay down rule for the
government Of future generations is
well met by an extract from speech
delivered by Mr. Lincoln, February
81, 1861. On that occasion the great
republican said: Away back in my
childhood the earliest days of my
being able to read, l got hold of a
small book, such one as few of the
younger, members have ever seen
'Weem's Life of Washington. l re-
member all the accounts there given of
the battlefelds and struggles for the
liberty of the country, and none fixed
themselves upon my imagination 30
deeply as the struggle here at Trenton,
N. J. The crossing of the river, the
contest with the Hessians, the great
hardships endured at that time, all
fixed themselves on my memory more
than any single revolutionary event
and you all know, for you have been
boys, how these early impressions last
longer than any others. / recollect
then, boy even though was,
that there must have been something
more than common that those men
for. am exceedingly anx-
ious that that thing which they strug-
gled for, that something even more
than national independence, that some.

PERRY BELMONT'S DEFEAT.
"a Republican disappearing as a
Democrat" Says The Commoner.

|
Democrat" Says The Commoner.
william jennings Bryan, in The
CommOner, says:
"The defeat If Perry Belmont in a
strong democratic district ought to
show the eastern democrats the folly OF
nominating for national positions men
who are known to antagoniZe demo
cratic principles. In 1896 Mr.. Belmont
was a conspicuous supporter of the
| Palmer Buckner movement which was
organized in the interest of the repub-
| lican ticket. In 1900 he was one of
those who gave nominal allegiance to
the democratic party. not with any
desire to advance democratic princi-
ples but for the purpose of betraying
the party again into the hands of the
enemy That he should ask for the
honor of seat in congress where he
could misrepresent the democracy Of
his state. shows how little respect he
has for the interests Of his would be
constituents. His defeat was well
merited and ought to serve as a lesson
to those who assume that the voters of
the party will vote for any one who
may happen to be nominated, even
though he be republican masquerad-
ing as democrat.
mir. Belmont has given no evidence
of change Of heart since 1896, and
until he does he ought not to expect
the confidence of those VINO were loyal
then. When he does undergo change
of heart he will be 80 ashamed of his
past conduct that he will be content
with the position of private in the
ranks until he can prove his repentance
by his works"

A REMARKABLE WOUND.
Bullet Makes Circuit of Interior by

Nashville, Jan. 1s-A very remark

Criminal Court. Chas Kelley, a Is

with a pistol with intent TO commit
murder. the victim being Henry Nc

the case was the character of the
wound. The bullet pierced the skull
of McGrady at the left temple and
made almost the entire circuit of the
interior of the skull. The wounded
negro lost several spoonsful of brains,
but is now apparently in full posses

The negro was treated by Drs. Boyd
and Stewart, and they appeared as
witnesses yesterday TO describe the
character of the wound and the course
of the bullet The ball from Kelley

point of the left cheek bone. 1t ranged

NEW COURTHOUSE.
County Court Comes Within Three
Votes Of Building One.
Committee Appointed TO Investigate
Matter and Report at the
April Term.

The Maury County Court came within
three votes Monday morning of building
new court house The matter was
brought up in the form OF a resolution
appropriating a sufficient amount 70
build new court house and appointing
a committee TO select a site, receive bids
aid specifications, etc. However, this
resolution was killed on a motion to
table by a majority of only three-the
vote being 20 to %. Another motion
was then made to appoint a committee
OF five 10 investigate the necessity and
cost of building new court house. and
report at the April term. This motion
was carried, and the committee VIII be
appointed by Judge Looney. AS in
dictated by the vote, there is strong
sentiment among the 'squires for new
court house, and probability of their
building one.
This session OF the court was an ad-
journed meeting from the regular Jan
uary term, held for the purpose OF al
lowing the road commissioners time in
which to make their reports according
to law. The commissioners filed their
repoi is with the clerk, as required.
j. M. Andrews resigned as turnpike
commissioner, and j. b. Lowell was
elected to fill his place.
The court ordered that the tax levy
on privileges remain the same as 1901
that is, one-half the amount fixed by
the State. At the former meeting of
the Court, the levy on privileges was
fixed the same as the State, but it ap
pears that most, if not all, of the mag
istrates were under the impression that
they were voting to make the tax the
same as 1901, and did not mean to
double the rate. Hence the change.

is Mr.. BABc0cK A DESeRTER
Proposition to Place the Products
of Trusts on the Free List.

of Trusts on the Free List.
Republican circles are considerable,
agitated these days because of th'
proposition made by Congressman
Babcock, republican member, tina
the products of trusts be placed on tn,
free list. In spite of the fact that the
republican party has made very con
sistent record as a high protective or
ganiZation. the fact remains that Mr..
Babcock has eminent republican
authority for the position he takes.
On October Is. 1888, John Sherman.
then United States senator, in a
speech delivered in the senate, said
whenever this free competition is
evaded or avoided by combinations of
| indi viduals or corporations, the duties
should be reduced and foreign compe-
tition invited.
On August 26, $780, Senator Plumb
of Kansas. in speech delivered against
the then pending tariff BILL said
'There are dozens of lines of manufac-
lures covered by the terms of this bill
which are controlled by trusts. do
not know of any better way to start
it, at least to reduce the exactions' of
the trusts, than to cut down the shelter
behind which trusts are created.
The late Governor Mount of Indiana,
in December, 1899, in a speech said:
81 emphatically favor removing all
tariff protection from every industry
that belongs to combination formed
in restraint of trade.
In 1899, when the paper trust was
bearing heavily upon newspaper pub
lishers republican newspapers through
out the country declared that if the
paper trust did not become less exact
ing, republican newspapers would
insist upon the removal of the tariff
duties by which the paper trust found
it possible to impose upon the news
paper publishers 1t may occur to
republican newspapers that, after all,
Congressman Babcock may have high
republican authority for the position
he now takes. Probably some repub-
lican newspapers and republican states
men will repudiate their former utter
ances in order that they may make it
appear that Mr.. BabcOck is traitor
to his party.
AS matter of fact, Mr.. Babcock,
in his attitude upon the trust question,
stands on the democratic platform as
adopted at Kansas City in 1900. That
platform declared, Tariff laws should
be amended by putting the products
Of trusts upon the free list, to prevent |
under the plea of protection. -
It need not be expected, however, that
The republican party will adopt Mr..
8 plan, because to do SO would
be an Endorsement of the Kansas City
platform but-and this is still more
important reason-the adoption Of the
Babcock plan would mean the destruc-
ion of considerable advantage which
certain trusts now enjoy. The Com
