The next coast advices should bring
news of another great volcanic eruption,
signals from which have been carried
in the Hawaiian sky for several even
ings past. Yesterday at 6 p. m. the
western sky had the peculiar blood-red
appearance which is made by the rays
Of the declining sun playing through
the fine dust blown into the uppersat-
rnosphere from volcanic vents. Specu-
Iation asto the locality Of the upheaval
is of course useless, though fancy how
ers around Central America and Samoa.
It will be remembered also, that the
last advices from Soufriere were not
encouraging.

Mr. George W. Franklin, who signs
himself "a Citizen Tax Payer of the

protesting against the expenditure of $780,

is a pressing demand for the expenditure
of that sum for the improvement of har

DISCOVERY OF RADsuM.

At time when the illustrated maya
zines and weeklies are printing pictures
Of the discoveries Of radiun, and telling
Us something OF its properties, it is par
ticularly instructive and Interesting to
turn to the December number of the At
lantic Monthly, where Professor John
Trowbridge of Harvard University dis
cusses the discovery of radiuIn as a New
Revelation in Science. Professor Trow-
bridge, than whom no man is better
qualified TO speak with authority, eX.
pounds the practical and philosophic i'm
port of the marvellous new metal very
irforringly. His concluding paragraph
is especially suggestive:
''The new revelation in science is GER
tainiy far-Teaching, and it is comforting
in the sense that more is vouchsafed as
man becomes ready to receive. The word
revelation has hitherto had its CHER sig
niflcance in a religious sense; and in this
sense or forcfathers is contingent upon
our Investigations. IN the scientific
world there are no revelations which DO
not result from long continued and a
hopeful spirit. The intellectual quail
ties here are indispensable. There are
epochs of revelation, however, and the
student of the history of science can per-
ceive a gradual uplifting of the state
of our knowledge which is symbolized

In the Literary World.

THE BOSS" published by A. S. Barnes
Co. Price $3.50.
This book, written by Alfred Henry
Lewis, is intended to give the public an
idea of practical politics in New York
City. The boss is spawned out of the
corruption of modern Babylon as naturally
as a maggot out of carrion. He is the
complement of the situation. He does not
make Gotham's politics any worse, he
is simply the incarnation of the selfish
ness which the vast majority feel and
practice. He is the resultant of millions
Of Vaccinations in the gamblings OF the
wealth-seeker-an exemplar of the truth
that the love of money and the worship
of the things that money Will buy are
the root of all evil. The monopoiist wants
money and power-money to get more
power-power to get more money; the
political boss wants money, power and
glory-the last mainly while he is young
however.
There is a secret fellowship between
all the workers of iniquity, in the dives
and 'joints," in the halls and parlors-
in the courts and on the hustings-they
all want money and they will all descend
to the same moral level to get 1.-THE
wolves, while often rending each other
t. pieces, readily unite against the lambs.
It is a frightful picture OF great city life
and uncovers the pandemonium which
greed both in business and politics re-
serves for its votaries even in this world.
The fact that Boss of Tammany is
made the hero of this story of misgot-
ten gain does not make it any better nor
worse city, in which the main object
of most men is to gain wealth, furnishes
the very conditions for the success OF a
corrupt machine, and a change OF poll
teal parties under such circumstances,
must needs be merely a change OF ma
chimes.
This l understand to be a miniature
of the portrait Mr.. Lewis makes OF New
York civic and business life,
Our Saviour once and only once un-
covered He'll for the instruction OF his
followers and exposed a disciple OF mann
mon who incidentally confessed the cause
OF his being there: his first thought was
for himself and the outermost strength
Of his sympathy reached no further than
his family. The lust for pelf and power
portrayed in Mr. Lewis book makes hell
in New York. Uncovering the selfshness
of the rich in the book Of books exposes
also the hell of the unseen world-per-
haps the two, If indeed they be twain,
are not very far apart.

put upon any professor or student; 2. The
university idea, giving the fullest lib
erty, with helpful and religious instruc-
ton without UNCONVENTIONAL bias; g. The
church idea, seeking, as instruction is i'm
parted, to guide and direct the youths
along the religious ideas of the particu-
lar church that establishes the college. In
these schools, when conducted along
broad lines, there is no restraint upon
conscience, but it's founders hold that I'M
less religious instruction is impaired
through a denomination the youth will
not be as apt to leave college with an
ambition to use his education to advance
Christianity. 1t is also the mission of a
church college to train men for the min
istry. Under Craven Trinity College was
the training school for Methodist preach
ers. How is it now? While at Davidson
there are not few ministerial students
and many at Wake Forest, very few have
graduated It Trinity in recent years. 1t
is said that under the present manage
ment more of its graduates get Jobs with
the Cigarette Trust than enter the min
nation college, Of the church founded by
Wesley?
There is argument for each of
the three systems, and experience las
shown that each has done a
great work. AS to Trinity College, it was
established as a Methodist College. That
great church looks to it to educate young
men to man its pulpits, enlarge and prose
cute its missionary work, and to lead in
the advancement of the church. If it
rails here, 1T tails at the very heart of is
being. OF course young men are to be
educated for trade, for business. for farm
ing as well, but the church school must
be- the training school for young minis
ters or it fails to accomplish the chief OBJ
iect of its existence. Doesn't it look like
Trinity College is failing just here? There
is a crying need for educated young men
in the Methodist ministry. The harvest is
ripe--the laborers few. Is not the spirit
described in the Boston transcripts ar
ticle and in DR.. Kilgo's speech, and the
commercial atmosphere at Trinity, some
what responsible for this lack of young
men of education now entering the Meth
odist ministry?

Prof. Bassett and Rev. J. C. Massee for
their foolish and "incendiary" utterances.
He declares that the churches and the

coming to pass, as Editor Bailey sees

AN INFAMOUS ASSAULT UPON METHODIST
PREACHERS.
The light begins to break.

The light begins to break.
The dav is near at hand when every
good Methodist in North Carolina will
rise up and demand that new influences
shall control Trinity College.
For years a ounce game has been
played by the responsible head Of that in
stitution. An attempt has been made, on
the one hand, to drive all the Methodists,
who opposed Kilgoism into sending their
sons to the college on the declaration that
failure to do so was violation Of church
VOWS and an evidence of disloyalty to the
church. DR.. Kilgo has gone over the
State denouncing all except church schools
as Goddess" and at one place told this
story that shocked and outraged every
said that a widow. who belonged to the
Methodist church, contrary to the advice
OF her pastor sent her son to a school
supported by the State; he became dissi-
pated, lost his health and came home to
die; his distressed mother sent for her
preacher to come and pray for her son;
the preacher refused to do so, because the
mother had sent him to a Goddess
school instead of to a church college.
Either DR.. Kilgo was the preacher who
refused to pray for the dying boy or he
approved or excused the action of the pas
tor who did refuse. He has gone over
North Carolina trying to unchurch every
body who did not endorse such unChris-
tian conduct and denouncing all educa
tional institutions that were not denomi-
national in their teachings, and contending
that none but denomina tional schools i'm
parted christian education
While that has been the policy in North
Carolina Methodist churches and Confer
ences the direct contrary policy has been
pursued for foreign consumption.
Noted preachers who deny the fundamen-
tai doctrines of the Methodist
church have been invited to preach the
sermons and deliver the address upon
commencement occasions, and there have
been a score of evidences that the college
teaching was alien to Methodist ideals and
to North Carolina convictions When
Buck Duke gave his money to erect a
library at Trinity College, he sent this
message to the boys: "Think as you damn
please" Steadily, gradually, impercepti-
bly,, an atmosphere alien to old fashioned
religion and old-fashioned Southern views,
has secured an ascendancy at that insti-
tuition, and now the attempt is being
made to give It reputation in the North
as the only broad guaged educational insti-
tuition in the South--the only white col
lege that entertains the same views as
are held by Northern non-denominational
institutions.
In Methodist Conference. we are told
that it is a methodist institution and
assessments are made on all Methodists
for fund to help educate poor boys
there. In the North, it is printed that
'the college has ceased to be the property
of the Methodist church, although it keeps
its Methodist 'affiliation' and considera-
bic number OF the trustees are Methodist

The Boston Evening Transcript of De-
cember 9Th, contained a most remarkable
article about the .Bassett matter and
Trinity College. Elsewhere it is printed
in full. 1t is written from Durham and
evidently by a. close friend and admirer
of Duke, Kilgo and Bassett. 1t gives us
some ''inside" light upon the meeting of
the board OF trustees and what would
have happened if the sentiment of the
church and the people, instead Of the
trust interest, had prevailed. We are told
Trinity College was ''about to die" in 1.-THE
backwoods," the Dukes have, "as the
commercial phrase" in Durham has it,
Committed themselves to it," now it
has ceased to be the property of the
Methodist church. although it keeps its
Methodist 'affiliation'; DR.. Bassett is de-
clared-mirabile dictu!-"the foremost
historical scholar in the South and his
article, that created trouble, "full of good
sense" and the writer fully supports Bas-
sett by saying ''the negro was disfran-
chised in North Carolina, not in obedience
to any popular demand but because a
winning campaign cry was needed by a
political crowd, and DR.. Bassett was to be
sacrificed and for the same purpose; .
the Dukes ''were opposed to the disfran-
chisement of the negro and "the white
supremacy politicians were the main in
stigators of the movement for Bassett's
expulsion"
