time both for pleasure and health,
and instruction. There is a daily
paper, The Chautauqua," published
there now while the meeting lasts.
Some of the best and ablest educa-
tors in our land give lectures every
day upon different subjects, and
practical questions are freely dis
cussed. The teachers have charge
of the youth of our country and it is
economy to have the same meth.

and more good can be accomplished
by the teachers, by all working to-

Now, the teachers by meeting and
understanding each other, and learn

upon the right methods. and by tho
roughly sitting each principle to be
practiced in the schoolrocln, can de.

GLADSTONE.

A great change has taken place IN
the English Government. Gladstone,
Derhans the safest statesman of mod.
ern times, has resigned. He no
longer acts as the prime minister of
the great English nation aud the lib
eral party no longer holds the su~
premacy. Since his resignation the
Queen has offered him an carldom
ii recognition Of his great services to
HERSELF and her country. but he has
declined. No conferred honor can ele.
yate him above his present self. lie
holds place in the heart OF each
true English patriot which cannot be
erased or increased by any gift In
the power Of Her Majesty. The
Tories now have control of the Gov
ernment. One class of the people
was much aroused and very indig>
nant because Of the peace policy OF
Mr.. Gladstone in the Russian mat
ter. That class wanted war and
failed to get it, Parliament voted
Gladstone $55,OOO.OO0 fer the rur>
pose of preparing for war and when
he proposed to increase the tax on
malt liquors fer th's a,,ioant, the
Parliament said, no. They are bound
TO have their drinks at the Invest
cost, accordingly they thwarted the
grandest statesman Of Europe. 4
great effect FROM & small cause. Mr..
Gladstone has ever been q friend to
Ireland. He has been Of greater
benefit to the Irish than all the leads
ers Of the Tories cnnbsned. But
they returned evil for good, anu were
the means of the vote Of censure be-
ing passed against him. The Mar
quis of Salisbury now is the great
person in London politics. He is
the one who forms the Cabinet. Ne
cessarily his course must be differ
ent from that Of Gladstone. The
latter is an old man, with 2 history
without rival FOR all that enobles q
true, patriotic statesman. No blot
IS on his record, nothing low or vul-
gar dims Ills reputation. HIS causs
ton was the dread of his opponents.
Because lie did not plunge England
into revolution, into wal
which promised to rival the bloody
French revolution, he has been
sneered at. Had there been Prime
Minister in Europe in the first part
of tits century equal to Gladstone
in diplomacy or craftsmanship, no
such wars would be recorded as fill
the pages Of history, and no Napo-
leon wcnid nave drenched Europe in
blood. But there has been but one
Gladstone and he has been given the
colo shoulder. but neither be nor his
reputation feels 1t. Little do we
know what good he did for England
/ by keeping peace between her and
Russia. Had the English nation
listened to the opinions of warlike
Lord Randolph Churchill, to-day
might the Russian and Enslish
armies be astounding the world with
the destruction. accompanying mod>
ern war.

The Republicans of Ohio have
nominated Judge Foraker for Gov>
ernor. Foraker is less than forty years
of age. It will be remembered that
he was beaten in the last State cleo
ton by Gov. Hoadly. the present
Democratic Governor But since
then Ohio has gone Republican, and
possibly Foraker may DE elected.
Maybe you have forgotten j. GILES.
pie Blaine, but he has already offered
to canvass Ohio for Foraker. It
may turn out that Blaine still looks
forward with hope to the Republican

Wake Forest College,

Many times before this we have
written about cur College, but we
have never felt more like congratu~
lating it's friends than now. IN
doubtedly the new administration IS
a success President Taylor. every
one feels, was b5rn to be College
President. He has satisfied his
friends, The results of his sagacity'
his prudence, his executive power,
lis energy, ere seen On every hand.
He has taken hold Of the helm with
a strong hand.
The meeting Of the Trustees was
haTn:on;ois end delightful. Every
one was pleased at the success of
the institution and the bright pros
poets before it. No change was made
in the curriculum Of the College, no
honorary degrees were Conferred, the
endowment funds arc as secure as can
be. A resolution was adopted by
which the sons of preachers Of all
is.enoiIilations aie sltitle1 to free
tuition. This action will be hailed
with gladness by preachers who have
children to educate.
The Board is we'll aware Of the
new difficulties which will necessa-
rily present themselves in coping
with the free tuition system imposed
upon the educators Of the State by
the last legislature. Now as never
',eftsra Tia friends CT cur College
must s,;;:.;! firm. North Carolina IS
full of Baptists boys who ought to
be at Wake Forest. It is a crafty
ing fact that student can go to
Wake Forest, pay lis tuition and
board, and have as little drain On
his purse Us he would have were he
to accept free tuition at the big free
school. It Is also a gratifying fact
that the course at wake Forest is as
thorough and extensive as tat Of
any Institution in tie State. IN scv.
eral respects it is superior. l. is q
gratifying fact that the Baptists have
1t in their power to make Wake For.
est better College than now exists
in the South. II The course contin~
ues to improve at It's past ratio, it
will not be long before this is an ac~
compl'sEeea fact. 1t is q gratifying fact
that If the Daptists OF North Caro-
lima properly take hold Of their Col
lege and stand by their cultured and
able Faculty, there may be more stu
dents iii attendance there next ses
sion than ally other College in the
State. Let the educational boom be
started among the Baptists. II there
is a young man in your neia hborhocd
who ong It to 60 to school, lend him

Lecture rooms at Wake Forest will
be filed with seekers after kncwl

no room for them, room shall be
made. God indeed has placed such
possibilities in cur reach, and the
question is, shall we grasp them
