Il NEWSPA PER FIGHT IN Il CHURCH.
History is repeating itself. 1t seems
that two editors over at Austin are
both interested in the Congregational
Church. These are the editors of the
Transcript and the Republican. The
Transcript prefers charges against the
editor of the Republican and abuses
him through lis paper. OF course tl,t.
Republican man talks back. The
Transcript is Anti-P:I e aud the Rernb-
lican is for Page. The matter is car
ried into the church and the editor of
the Republican puts in the plea that
1.-THE ch0rcl, has no right to try him
for anything lie has said as Il Journal
,st.''
Here is repeated exactly what occur
red in WortI'ington.a Two editors be-
longing t" one church. One an in';e-
pendent editor fighting a political ring,
the other Il ring editor continually
whining and :niftling and carryi". his
grievances iut" the Church. IL tn.
| same church are ri x utfi.p-seekrrS ~.
tereStrl pecuniarily and otherwise in
the Ring paper. These polititioms ais"
smiffle and whine to the ch,ircl. and stir
up the church Committee against the.
anti-Ring editor. Several outside par
ties belonging to the Ring ;elI the par
son and tie church Committee that if
they will turn the anti-Ring editor out,
they will join the church aud contrib
te to its support. This, of course, is
Il tempting bait. A little Office seeker
and otiice-holder, who has labored day
and night to destroy the antiI>ing edi-
tor, comes in with his grievances and
tells how the Aforesaid editor has at.
tackled him in his paper. The anti
Ring editor tells them political differ
e,ces should be settled outside "f the
churci, and that lie would cut lis right
arm off before lie would carry such
quarrels into the church, But the
Ring element keep on shifting and wllin-
ing and complaining. Finally a day
is set for the vote. Twenty mem-
bers are present out of s+venty. Four
teen votes for suspension and nine
against. Tie church proclaims that
fourteen out of seventy constitutes Il
suspension. The Ring are jubilant.
The little office seekers throw up their
hts and triumph. The outsiders who
scol t> int tho fa},,ra},
laugh in their sleeves and don't come
in. The pastor and some OF the cl.urcl,
members smack their mouths over the
triumph, If their most unfair and I'M
just conduct, and disinteresttd parties
turn away saying they. would rather
fall into the hands Of Il party Of Digger
Indians than into those Of Il church
clique controlled hy political and Money
influences and social pride.
The vote in the Austin Congregations
Ill church will be taken OIL Monday
next. We know al. pady what the re-
snlt will be. The county officials and
the political Ring will Il" on hand to
lisgra the church by their control
and the editor on trial will BE- suspe!d' Il
or kicked out completely. The church
committee will wipe their mouths over
! their iniquity and say they have
done no wrong, and the expelled editor
! will tu. all the bs't ar for having suffer-
| wrong ut their al .l>.
