THE CITY ELECTION.

The City Council, at its last
meeting, ordered an election to
authorize the issuance of $50, 900
worth of bonds to be applied to
having Washington Avenue. This
action of the council is reply to
public clamor produced by the
suspension of business because OF
the condition of the streets during
February. Had the election been
held AT that time it would prob
ably have been carried; but its
success now is doubtful, with the
chances in favor of failure. At
NH events, the city government,
by placing the matter in the hands
Of the people themselves, seeks to
remove the responsibility from
the Mayor and Council and place
il upon the citizens. They can
bring in their own verdict at the
polls and abide by it. With the
return of good weather tho streets
are fast regmning their normal
condition, and a sentiment of OPP
position to the project of paving
Is daily becoming more manifest
tits usually argued by those OPP
posed to it, and with reason, that
sanitation is the first and greatest
consideration, and the need for a
system of sewerage should be met
before the city assumes any other
burden of Indebtedness, ] .anks
to our excellent water, and the
fact that the white population OF
the city are above the average IN
intelligence. the death rate and
prevalence of sickness among
Them is less than In most towns OF
the same size. Include the negro
population, however, and it Will
be seen that the average of sick
ness and death In Greenville Is
reallya very high one,
As in all towns unprovided with
q sanitary system, the sickness
and mortality Is in the main ow-
inc TO this lack. Moreover Green
vile is rapidly increasing popula-
ton, and this fact adds greatly to
the necessity of a system OF scien-
tific sanitation

A MONUMENT TO IRWIN RUSSELL

A movement is on foot to erect
Ia memorial to IRWIN Russell, and
Greenville has been appealed to to
assist in the work. Irwin Russell,
the author of Christmas Night
lin the Quarters, A Sermon to
the Sisters The Origin of the
Banjo, " and other less we'll known
poems and sketches, was the first
writer to recognize the pictures
que possibilities of negro dialect.
He may be called the fore-runner
of Joel Chandler Harris. Thomas
Nelson Page, and the host of
Others who have worked the mine
which he discovered. He is the
only Mississippian who has gained
recognition on the American
Parnassus-indeed, the only Poet
the state has produced whose work
is worthy of a place in the coun-
try's literature.
Such an object as this should
appeal to the public sentiment in
a community like this, noted alike
for its culture and generosity,
The project is one which might
appropriately come within the
province of some of the literary
circles of Greenville, and would
doubtless be considered with favor
by the Hypatia Club, which,
however, disbanded at the begin
ming of the writer. If its mem
beers feel sufficient interest in q
cause which appeals to both liter
AIRY appreciation and state pride,
it would be graceful and gra-
cious act for them to reassemble
and consider a plan by which
Grcenville might be induced to
bear share in doing justice to
the memory of Mississippi's solita
rv poet.

RELIGION VS.. THEOLOGY.

On March 9Th, at meeting OF
four hundred of the leading Meth
odist preachers of New York city,
the pastor of the Metropolitan
Temple stated In an address that
the inherency and infallibllity of the
Bible ard no longer possible if be
lief among reasoning men. He said
that when Luther established the
Protestant church he accepted the
scripture as the source of authori-
ty and inspiration, and made the
Bible the basis of all faith. But
we now propose 70 abandon the
strict Interpretation OF The early
fathers of the Protestant church.
The speaker said further that half
Of the pages of the old testament
were Of unknown authorship, and
the new testament likewise was
full Of contradictions. The
true source Of inspiration was
neither a book nor a church, but
the living Christ himself, This
utterance was mede be-
fore the most representative body
of Methodist clergy in America,
including the vast majority of the
preachers Of Greater New York.
When the speaker finished latter
the rules had been suspended in
order to allow him to proceed J he
was vigorously applauded by his
although a few aged
ministers present gave ne sign OF
|
This is by no means a new de-
oarture in religious teaching.
Dean Stanley said, long since,
'The idea Of verbal, or plenary
Inspiration is, IN actual fact, &C
,epte by hardly any educated
nan The above bold utterance
" the pastor of the Metropolitan
Temple is, howevdr, the first au-
horitative acceptance of the IN
.yitable by the Methodist church.

10 expend a sum sufficient to pro

This apportionment gives nearly

The greater part of the money eX-
pended on Ashbrook Neck and the

find its way to Greenville.

The Mary Holmes college for
colored girls was again destroyed
bv fire on March 9Th. The col
lege was first built at Jackson. at
a cost Of $4,000, and was burned
four years ago, Citizens of Jack
son did not especially encourage
its rebuilding, and the projectors
sought a more congenal atmos-
phere at West Point. There were
no hard feelings on the part OF the
people of jackson, 1t may be
remembered that the philanthrople
Mary Holmes first sent her repre-
sentative to Greenville, but he
failed to awaken enthusiasm
among the white, or to secure sup
port from the colored population.
In fact the Mary Holmes college
appears to be a sort Of Hoodoo.
It is possible that an attempt will
again be made to establish it in
the Delta-perhaps in GreenEille,
as it Is thought the West Point
people have had enough Of it.
