THE ROCK ISLANDER ROARETH-AND
LIKEWISE MoURNETH!

The venerable and yenerated editor OF
| the Rock Islander, in his last issue, saws
! he never did believe in any truck and
dicker, in political affairs Those famil-
lar with his political management know
how literally true this is Oh! no. Even
the insinuation would be treated with
derision, by friend and foe alike, in the
| region of Gallilee and the country round
about; it would hopelessly damn the man
who dared to make it. But the venerable
editor is most singularly unfortunate in
his associations. He proclaims his own
innocence with charming trnthfulness and
refreshing simplicity, but mourns the
lack of sagacity among his associates
With admirable candor he gives three or
four chapters of truck and dicker" in
which his awkward squad" have engaged
during their short existence. and of which
the public would never have dreamed but
for his soul-refreshing and childlike con-
fession. He parades the Actor in his
"School for Scandal very prominently
before the foOtlights, but the venerable
prompter keeps himself carefully con
cealed. When the play fails, and the
actors are Kissed, he complacently comes
forward and informs the public that he
never did believe in any truck and
dicker," And this community implicitly
believes the statement; they believe they
think they known fact they feel assur-
ed they possess unmistakable proof of
the venerable editors spotless political
integrity and of his utter detestation of
all truck and dicker" in politics.
Certain great truths are fundamental |
and automatically need no demonsrra-
ton. The greatest of these is the great, |
eternal truth, that the veneer |
able editor never did believe in truck |
and dicker, and conversely. that his
awkward squad" does.

A Protestant Episcopal church at Delhi,
N. I. has been of late years greatly trou-
bled over the eccentricities of its pastors.
About two years ago, the pastor, who was
very good man, so far as preaching went,
was very fond of the flowing bowl, and
had sometimes appeared on the streets I'M
der the influence of an overflow of bowls.
He was requested to resign. and his resig-
nation was accepted by small majority
the respectable minority sustaining their
pastor, who was jolly good fellow. This
made division IN the congregation, but
they struck together and gave the Rev.
James g. Kerr. a trial. Kerr is a wealthy
man, and his 81 200 salary was no object
He introduced ritualistic innovations, and
and altered the church building. and hired
assistants, and engaged organlst and sin
gers. all at his own expense, and runs the
church to suit himself. He EMPLOYS three
assistant fathers" and a large musical
force and has introduced the confessional
As Protestants, more than half the mem
bers protested. but Mr.. Kerr paid no at
tention to them. Then the majority seced
ed and withdrew, instead of standing their
ground and putting the minority and the
pastor out.
