THE ROW IN TRINITY COLLEGE.

Some time ago, Dr. John S. Bassett, a
Professor in Trinity College, Durham, N.
c., wrote a magazine article extolling
erly. 1t raised quite a commotion in the
South, and the Professor paid the penalty
in a storm of abuse slowered upon him and
which led to his rendering his resignation.
The Trustees of the college, by vote of
seven to IS, have refused to accept the
resignation, and accompanied it with a
long manifesto setting forth their attitude
upon the question, entirely too much of
which is apologize. No true American,
no real humanitarian, should for a mo-
ment feel called upon to apologize for any
praise Of Booker Washington's work. 1t
is emphatically in the right direction, and
he is doing more than any other one man
in the country toward lifting up the me-
gro race, and placing it upon its proper
plane of self-respecting, self-supporting, in
dependent manhood and womanhoOd. The
Trustees base their action upon granting
the utmost liberty to academic thought,
and that Prof. Bassett's expression was an
individual one, and did not commit the
college. The Trustees find it also neces-
sary to state that Prof. Bassett does no,
believe, Eor does he teach, social equality
Of the races. 1t is pointed out as signifi-
cant that the 1S Trustees who voted
against accepting his resignation are from
the Western Methodist Conference. in
which there are but few negroes, while
the seven who voted for accepting, are in
the Eastern Conference, which embraces a
greater part of the negroes of the State
The students have taken strong sides in
the discussion, mostly in favor of the Pro.
fessor, and have burned in effigy Josephls

MONUMENT TO THE pR1vATEs.

Senator Gallinger has introduced inta
the Senate the following bill to perform
too-long deferred work:
A bill for the erection of Il monument ip
the city of Washington, District of Co
Iumbia, to the memors of the private
soldiers of the Union armies.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States OF
America in Congress assembled, that the
sum of 100000. or so much thereof as
may be necessary, be, and is hereby, ap-
propriated out of any money in the Treas
ury not otherwise appropriated, for the
erection of a monument TO the memory OF
the private soldiers of the Union armies,
upon land belonging to the United States
in the city of Washington other than the
Capitol or Library grounds. and the Ssere-
tary of War; the officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds, the chairman of the
Senate and House Committees on the Lii
brary, and the Commander-inC Chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic of the United
States, are hereby appointed u commission
to select said site and superintend the erec-
ton of said monument:
Provided, that the money hereby appro-
priated shall be drawn from time TO time
only as may be required during the prog
ress of the work, and upon the requisi-
tion of the Secretary of War: And pro-
yided further, that no part of the money
hereby appropriated shall be expended
until design for said monument shall
have been accepted by the commission
named in this bill

T. d. WILLIAMS, a leading sugar
planter of Louisiana, has come out with
an offer of 100000 to the Republican
Convention if it should be held in New Or
leans. The amount will be put up by -
prominent sugar planters. The object Of
this is obvious. Louisiana is at heart Re-
publican. In the old days it was more
often Wing than Democratic, and since
the war it has been vitally interested
in the Republican policy of protection to
sugar and rice. The Republicans have
always treated Louisiana with the great
est consideration. while the Democrats
seemed to single her out for abuse, as was
illustrated By Cleveland's course on the
sugar bounty. That the State has not
been Republican is due more than any
thing else to the faction fights among the
local leaders,. This is the case all over the
South. A large portion of the men who
direct the Republican party in most of the
States south of Mason and Dixon's line
do not really want any more Republicans
there. There are enough of them to hold
nll the offices. anu more would make
trouble. Therefore, they block the way
TO anything that looks like growth to the
party. BY taking the Republican Con-
yention to New Orleans, it is hoped that
a wave of feeling will be raised which
will sweep away these petty and ignoble
jealousies, and set the party on a firm
footing.

THE INVALID PENSIONS COMMITTEE.

The Invalid Pension Committee Of the
House of Representatives is of extreme
importance to the veterans, since it will
have charge of the Service Pension Bill,
and upon its action will largely depend
the success of that measure. The Com
mittee was announced last Saturday by
Speaker Cannon, and is as follows:
Cyrus A. Sulloway, New Hampshire,
Chairman.
Henry A. Gibson, Tennessee.
Samuel w. Smith, Michigan.
William A. Calderhead, Kansas.
Eiias Deemer, Pennsylvania.
Elias s. Holiday, Indiana.
w. Godfrey Hunter Kentucky.
Thomas w. Bradley. New York.
Charles Il. Fuller, Illinois.
Robert w. Miers, Indiana.
Joseph B. Crowley, Illinois.
George II. Lindsay, New York.
John S. Shook, Ohio.
Alfred Lucking, Michigan.
Il. A. Hopkins, Kentucky.
The first nine of these are Republicans,
and nearly all of them, with the Chair.
man, have seen some years of service on
the Committee. Of these, Represents
tives Calderhead, of Kansas; Deemer, OF
Pennsylvania; Holiday, of Indiana, and
Hunter, of Kentucky, were soldiers dur.
ing the war Of the rebellion. The minor
ity is headed by Judge Miers, of Indiana
who has been a member of the Committee
for many years, and who has done mag
nificent service for the veterans in that
capacity. He was too young to have been
a soldier, but he comes from q royal fam
lily, and all his brothers were in the army
and rendered excellent service.
