FAIR DEALING WITH THE CHURCH. The Chicago Times has made a good thing, in the way of advertising capital, during the past week, out of the fact that an Episcopal minister in that city last Sunday morning, ordered one of the reporters of the Times to leave the church in^which said minister was officiating, and insisted that bis not very polite request be complied with, before proceeding with the sermon. Of course the minister who was silly enough to do this, has secured thereby

'Much has been written and spoken about the value of personal character. These essays and speeches are calculated to encourage our youth to walk in the paths of honesty and virtue. They are of that general character which renders them less liable to remuiu lixed in the mind than if individual illustrations were oftener presented.

good sense has given him such a wide spread fame, had in private denounced these articles, and said the "author of them ought to be horse-whipped, etc." So on last Sunday the "author" went for him, and hence the scene in church.

This suggests some thoughts upon the topio named at the head of this article. Of course no organization is or ought to be exempt from just and honest criticism. There is no such sanctity about a church as to make it, or its members an exception. No greater service can be done the church than to uncover the sins which may have crept within it, and if either its members, minister or other officers, connive at, or excuse sin, they deserve public eensuro. But the church like every other organization or body of men and women, is entitled to fair dealing. False charges and insinuations, and unjust "sneers" are to be deprecated and condemned when turned against any individual, class, or institution. Especially are they to be deprecated and condemned when turned against individuals or institutions whose aim is the moral elevation of the community. In fact, in reference to such individuals and institutions, while, as said above, they can claim no exemption from just criticism, there should be special pains taken to see to it that all charges, insinuations, and "sneers" are just, before resorting to them, for the cause which they represent is too sacred to be carelessly injured. Yet there is a strong temptation to carelessness here because, on the part of uiany.adenunciatlon of the ohurch, or a hint that it is no better than it should be, or a foke at its expense, is peculiarly and strangely pleasing. The Chicago Times no doubt has taken in hand some faults which needed rougli handling. But there is neither justice, dignity, nor decency in the following sentence from the article which caused the minister named in it to foolishly order tho reporter from the church:

Rev. Edward Sullivan has more muscle than brains, and more stomach than either, but before his head commenced running into his belly he was possessed of an ordinary stock of common sense, and in the hope that some

Edward Sullivan had said that the author of the "Walks among tho churches" deserved to be "horsewhipped," the only value of such a ply as this was to prove that the Reverend gentleiuau bad told the truth. His bead was evidently level on thla subject at least, and if, instead of ordering a reporter out of his church, he had sought out the "fcuthor" and given hi in a good sound drubbing it would have been more sensible, and in these

gambling this evening. The theme is broad one. Thorough treatment of it will necessitate a pretty general overhauling of church fairs and festivals, in many of which gambling is mainly relied on to raise funds."

In this notice especial pains is taken to single out churches as being guilty of the sin of gambling at their fairs and festivals. What are the facts in the case? Simply these. Whilegambllng THE

In the same Issue we find a quotation from the Commercial, introduced as follows: "Some of our truly good people should "go for" the Cincinnati Commercial, and give it its chronic habit of things."

THK New Albany Ledger-Standard thinks the Bender family, the notorious Kansas assassins, were formerly residents of Floyd county. About a year and a half ago a family by that name, the description of whose members corresponds exactly with those of the Kansas family, resided ore Silver creek, the two men working on the McCulloeh farm. At the time named above a German named Bandle and his wife were murdered and their house burned over them. There was never any clue discovered to the perpetrators of the murder, but the Bender family left the neighborhood soon after, Kansas being their avowed deatination.

THAT truly good man of the Dan bury News regrets to see that there is a tendency to say "damnly" when "damnably" is intended. How frequently we hear people who are educated say "You are damnly mistaken." These errors in speech are growing more numerous all the while, and our language Is consequently losing that parity and tone whieh are characteristic of it in the original. little watchful core on the part of all will in time remove present error*, and avert future defect.

The quoted phrase, "sneering at sacred things" which gets into the Express pretty often, originated in this way. Some of the religious, or church people, many of them in fact, (and the Express has a great many of this class among its readers) felt aggrieved at what they regarded as its sneers at Christianity. One of them wrote a note over his own signature protesting against this. The Express treated the correspondent politely both by inserting his notes, and in its reply thereto. But Irom that day to the present the terms "sneer," "sneering at sacred things," etc., have been put at the head of innumerable squibs copied from other papers and its own jokes. The sneer in the above at the "truly good people," is apparent to all. Now The Mall Is not a church organ, but It does delight in fair dealing, and It does not think that the Express treats its readers among the church people, or tbe church itself, with that fairness which marks its course generally. These two instances from a single issue are cited as examples ef what Is frequent. Let the church be dealt justly, fairly with. Let its actual faults be criticised as freely as the faults of any other organization, but let not its usefulness be impaired by false charges and insinuations, nor by unjust sneers.

In all the multitude ot church festivals held in this oity, with the exception of those held by theCAtholic church,there has not been one within five years, probably not within ten years, in which there has been gambling of any kind. Grab bags, fishing, rallies, etc., which once were so common, are no longer resorted to in church fairs and festivals. And what is true of these in Terre-Haute is true elsewhere. The sentiment of the entire protestant church is so strong and general against this, that a resort to any form of gambling is a rare occurrence. And so "a thorough treatment" of Mr. Sterrett's tbomo would not require a "pretty general overhauling of church fairs and festivals, in many of which gambling is mainly relied on to raise funds." Yet that made a good personal, and doubtless pleased a great many people, and took away the point of any strictures which the reverend gentleman might make against the multiplied and prevailing forms of gambling.

A COLORED POLICEMAN—EQUALITY vs. SUPERIORITY.—In the question whether there should be a negro upon the police force we have had no special Interest one way or the other. There are plenty of colored men in the city just as well qualified to fill that position as any white man among us and there are plenty of white men to fill all tho places. Whether the police force were all white or all black, or mottled we did not care a pin, only so that the members of the force were all well qualified for their duties. The foolish threat on tbe part of some already on the iorce to resign if a colored man was appointed, inclined us to hope that one would be appointed. Not because we desired the removal of any of the present force, but because they were demanding what they had no right to demand, and because being Republicans, they belied their professed principles. The fact that any body said there should not be a colored policeman is a good reason why there should be one. But then it is as broad as it is long, and the very fact thai any body said that a man should be made policeman because ho was black, is an equally good reason why he should not be appointed. And here comos the true issue, not with reference to the black race alone, but with reference to different nationalities, and it relates to the question whether all shall bo equal, or whether one or tbe other shall be superior. When the white man demands that white men shall fill certain offices, he claims a superiority for the white race in reference to that office. When the demand is made that black men shall fill an office then the black is made superior. When the native born American claims an office in preference to a foreigner, then he claims superloity. When tho Irishman, or German claims an office in preference to a native born American, because he is Irish or German, then he demands superiority. Equality demands simply that these distinctions be ignored, and the only questions asked, and the only claims urged, the fitness for the position. When white men and colored men alike urge their claims as men, not on account of color then do they claim equality. When native born and foreign born urge their claims as American citizens fitted for the places,then do they claim equality. When tbe white or blaok man nrges his claims on account of color, then does he exhibit tbo spirit of caste aud the principles which produced slavery and have made us so much trouble. When the native American or the Irish or German urges his claims because of the place of his birth, then is he exhibiting tbo spirit of the old "Know Nothing" movement, which would make place of birth the test for position. White and black, native and adopted citizens, need to learn more thoroughly than they have yet that under our government "all men are born free and equal," and that equality is not tbe destruction of the claims of one class to peculiar favors, and the setting above them the claims of another class. When police boards and all other boards with appointing powers, and tho citizens at the polls shall Inquire after tbe fitness of candidates, and drop out of account| color, nativity, and religious opinions, then shall all men, and all classes of men become equal.
