ployer's money with which to speculate
is too strong for many to resist. Besides
the man who CANDLES is sure to despise
the slow methods of legitimate business
and is certain to work only for the mon
ey. His mind is on the particular sort
of gambling to which he is addicted in
stead of on the business he is employed
to do. He cannot be relied upon to do
the best work. Therefore his employer
does well to get men who look only for
the ordinary return of labor, skill and

color or the shape of their noses. this
professor tells us, and he predicts con-
fict in the future.
Rassetts utterances have provoked a
storm of indignation and conservative pa
pers have freely expressed the OPINION
that his usefulness is at an end. 1t IS
healthy sign, but the fact should not be
overlooked that it is foolish TO strlKe
at symptoms and ignore the deep-seated
disease. The conditions that produced
professor who believes the Alabama negro
a greater teacher than Craven, greater
leader than Vance, and greater man
than either will not be cured by ms DIS
mssal They have found expression IN
other forms the past few years and VIII
surely break out again. The Methodist
Church ought either to cut loose from lts
nominal connection with the whole crowd
in charge of Trinity College or assert It's
rights in the premises and have an Old
time housekeeping.
Il is true that Bassett has given out
an interview in which he says he merely
meant to say that in two or three hun
dred years from now the mass OF the ne
groes will be better educated, will have
better houses, and more Of the comforts
of life than now. Any fool ought TO
know that. But what about Kilgo's DIG
tum that the educated negro is the one
that causes trouble? He said at Salisbury
in November. 1897
''The meanest negro in the South is
the educated one
The president of Trinity College said
that, mark you. Now his professor of
history exalts an educated negro above all
the white men born in the South in
hundred years except R. E. Lee. In his
revised opinion Bassett says this negro
has made more out of his capital than any
other man born in the South, except Gen.
eral Lee. That relegates Abraham Lin
coin and Braxton Craven to the rear, and
yet they've named hall at Trinity for
the latter. Great is independence OF
though backed by Cigarette money.

DOES NOT MITIGATE THE oFFENsE

WAGES Doro- Messenger and Intelligencer.
The attempt on part of DIR. Bassett
10 soften the plain meaning of the Ian
guage used in the more offensive para
graphs of the article does not, in our opln-
ion. in the least mitigate his offense. The
spirit of every line of the article is so
manifestly at variance with the manner
in which the race question has been dealt
with in the South that it is quite evil
dent the professor is not only not in SYM
pathy with the steps that have already
been taken looking to the solving OF the
problem, but would have us change front
entirely and peaceably recognize the ne
gro as our equals before we are compelled
to do so at the point of the bayonet, SO
TO speak.
Mr.. Bassett, we have seen it stated, is
an accomplished historian, but if his re-
searches have led him to hold the view
that Gods chosen race can ever be forced
to live on terms of equality with the de-
scendants of Ham he is certainly woefully
deficient in those attributes which a
teacher Of the youth Of the State should
Ice endowed with.
