AS True as Preaching.
(CharlOtte NeWs.)
(CharlOtte NeWs.)

A secular newspaper has nothing to do
with matters that are purely denof11inational.
But it is not Methodist doctrine, what Pro-
lessor Bassett said. Nor i, it Baptist doctrine,
what Mr.. Massee said. In fact, DR.. Battle
very promptly and conclusively showed that
it was subversive Of fundamental Baptist
doctrine. And if the secular press has
no right to comment upon a public speech adj
v~ocating the anniI1i!ation Of the rights Of the
secular press, in the nam Of COMMON sense,
what has the secular paper the right to COM
ment upon?
We would be the last to Limit the freedom
of a religious paper to discuss a political CUES
ton or any other question ii it seems best to
the editor. 1t should eschew partisan politics.
But in the political sphere it should learn to
take as we'll as give. The religious paper can
point out tn errors in doctrine Or practice of
it's own Or other denominations, as the secular
paper can not do. Nor would we limit the free
dom of professor and ministers to discuss what
they think best from the pulpit Or by other
modes Of expression. Those things belong to
the domain of taste. But When they do leave
questions Of religion in sermons Or in adj
dresses, their utteranCes become public prop
erty, they must expect criticism of these things
on their merits and not say that an attack has
been made upon their churches because crit
icism has been made OF their own foolish
views. Criticism is the saving salt OF litera-
tufe and of utterancc. There would be many
more foolish things said and written but for
the function Of criticism. And if that function
is denied, what becomes Of all that reedom
Of speech and freedom of thought that we
were hearing SO much about just now, from
the professor and the editor and the minister
aforesaid. SINE mighty fine things were said
about the ell initable freedom Of the human
r17ind.' Have they been forgot so soon? Or
does it belong only to those who talk about it
the most?

THE BAD REPORTER
The Wife of the Former Republican
Governor of North Carolina May
be Appointed Postmaster
at Wilmington.
Wilmington Starr

The contention over the postmastership
of Wilmington is attracting wide atten-
ton and is causing some feeling among
the contestants and their friends.
AS heretofore mentioned in The Star,
former Governor d. L. Russell made a
trip to Washington in behalf OF Miss NJ.
c.. Darby, present postmaster, and who is
an applicant for reappointment. 1t de
eloped after his visit to Washington that
the name of Mrs. Russell had been re-
commended as a compromise in the con
test.
The turn which affairs took has caused
considerable criticism of Governor Rus
sell and the statement has been made that
he suggested the name of Mrs. Russell,
after having gone to Washington in be
half of Miss Darby. Governor Russell
was asked about this charge yesterday by
a Star representative, and in reply he
said:
Il was urging the appointment of Miss
Darby. The chairman of the Republican
State Committee without my knowledge
and without any thought or suggestion
from myself or my wife, or from anyone
in behalf of either of us, offered to recon-
mend the appointment of Mrs. Russell.
If the appointment should be rendered TO
