SESTINEL & REPUBLICAN

The questions in dispute between
the Presbyterian congregations of
Hifflintown and Lost Creek, are not,
in the full sense of the term, local
questions for in the dispute are in
volved principles that underlie both
Church aal State. Years ago the
question expanded itself beyond the
limits cf the little valley where the
dispute began, and to-day there is
as much and perhaps more attention
directed to the questions involved,
by people living beyond the limits of
Juniata than at any other time since
the dispute began.
From an early period in the history
of the case the editor of the Senlinel
and Republican, at the request of
members of the church, on both sides
of the question, opened the columns
of the paper to such articles as it was
desired to have published. The arti
cles or documents published, were
proceedings of ecclesiastical bodies,
proceedings of courts, and commuii
cations; and to whomsoever it m.ty
concern, it is here stated that the
columns of the Sentinel and Republi
can are as free now as at any past
time for the admission of r,rurh arti
cles or comniunicationB. The jour
nalist that closes the ruiuiuns of his
paper to questions? of Church and
.State questions that interest society
at large iu its intercourse with each
other, or with each individual has
indeed never comprehended the du
ties of a journalist working under
Republican or Democratic form of
government. But while the columns
of the Sentinel and Republican received
rnanv documents and artic'.es relative
to the church question, and while the
editor himself did report, and pub
lish the great argument before the
Marter, pro and con, as iartieipated
in by Judge Barnett and Mr. Spous
ler, for Lost Creek, and Mr. Parker
and Mr. Patterson for MiiHintown, he
editorially said nothing with. regard
to the case, and this editorial article
would not now appear were it not for
the fact of a personal attack that the
Tribune in this place delivered against
him. for having given space for the
publication of certain communica
tions in the columns of the Sentinel
and Republican. It also denounced
the Altoona Tribune for publishing a
communication that it says it reject
ed. The Tribune in this place de
clared that it had refused to publish
communications on the church ques
tioncommunications, such as had
appeared in the columns of this pa
per, or the Altoona Tribune. The
management of the Juniata Tribune
Lave a right to reject whatsoever they
please, but they have no right to de
nounce other journals and journalists
for opening their columns and doing
justice to all men alike. To lay down
such narrow rules as the management
referred to have laid down, is but to
declare in favor of 6uch arbitrary
rules as will close the doors of a
Christian church against its fellow
members. It is the manifestation of
the same arbitrary ppirit that caused
two churches to be closed in Europe
in 1G18, and which act led to the 30
years war. It is the spirit of boss
ism, of government centered in one.
or a few individuals. The Tribune
has manifested that spirit in its attack
upon the Sentinel and Republican, and
that, too, in the face of the oft-re
peated invitation to the public to
Bend in communications on all ques
tions of public interest. Since when
has the Church become a question of
private interest to the boss of the
Tribune . Are the broad questions
of Church and State, that underlie
the church question in this narrow
valley, so interwoven with the pri
yate and political interests of the
Tribune that all men that write or
speak on the question are to be
abused ? Let the Tribune not be self
deceived. The editor of this jonrntd
had nothing to do whatever with the
writing of the church communica
tions that appeared in the Sentinel
and Republican. But the editorial
that unmasked the Tribune, exposed
it, held it up naked, stripped of its
hvpocritieal pretensions as freei
unbossed journal, was written by the
editor whose name appears at the
head of this paper. Now, as to
whether the vassal with the collar
on, ever had a church communica
tion offered to him for publication is
not material here. He says he had.
The question has already put him in
the true light that he should occupy,
that is a bossed man. He had so
often denounced bosses, and people
for being bossed, that were not
bossed, that many people believed
him to le free of all boss rule. Two
issues ago he blunderingly revealed
how bossed he is, and then last week
swallowed all his own bitter denun -ciation
against bosses by coming up
to the confession, and declaring that
the church communications were not
published because Mr. Parker and
ourself Lave refused and shall con
tinue to refuse communications from
both sides of that question. It is not
thus that the cause of Christ is built
up and the church edified." Parker,
the boss loves an innocent joke, and
when his vassal recognized the collar
thus nicely in the Tribune, he must
have smiled a smile till late the next
morning. Garman was disciplined
into a public recognition of his boss
ship. Parker should come around
and thank the editor of the Sentinel
and Republican for bo writing an edi
torial that his vassal was brought up
to the "sticking point" where he was
compelled to publicly recognize his
master. It is quite a feather for Par
ker's cap to receive a recognition that
ha so long sought for, and which was
o cunningly denied him by his vas
sal. It was a little harL to be sore,
on the vassal to bring him down off
his stilts where he has been posing
as an nnbossed man. Such, however,
is the fate that awaits all pretenders.
How loud a laugh the boss took to
himself no one will ever know, after
his vassal said, I will print the short
editorial that it shall read, Parker
and ourself " " Parker and ourself"
prevented the publication of the
communication on the church ques
tion. Handsome and full of expres
sion as the face of the boss is, we
know that a serious countenance
was Lis when he realized that he
had permitted Lis vassal to print
that the " cause of Christ" forbade
the publication of communications
on the church question. He under
stands full well that it is a mere mat
ter of word expression, that it was
for the real good of the church that
the articles, or article, or communica
tion was refused publication. Doubt
less his fair cheek blanched when he
realized the profanity of such a dec
laration. The Church professes to
have no secrets that will not bear the
light of public scrutiny. It is the
general belief that the Christian
Church has nothiug going on within
her borders that can receive injury
by pnblic scrutinv. The boss is an
intelligent, well-read maa ; he know3
if his rassal does nit that every
utterance that the Redeemer of man
uiade while among men on this earth
was in its tendency against prevent
ing an aggrieved disciple or follower
from being turned away without a
healing. Such was the teaching of
Christ on Ue question of disputes
between ins professed followers.
Christ 'id not consider it as injurious
to the Church to give an aggrieved
disciple or church member a hearing.
Tlie teaching of Christ is all against
rornsinsr an affimevetl brother or
brothers a hearing. There is no
Christianity in an act of refusal to
hear men that are parties to a tiia
pute in a church case unless the case
has been finally disposed of.
Christ's own teaching is that even
when a brother church member
sins against you he shall be heard
and forgiven ; " not until seven
times, but until seventy times seven
efforts at peace and reconciliation
skill have failed shall he be rejected.
Perhaps it would be just as well for
the boss and his vassal to read the
Xew Testament more than they do
before they set themselves up to de
clare so pointedly what is and what
is not good for the Church. The
early Church lived tip to the spirit
and letter of the Divine command
many years indeed until the doc
trines of Christianity were changed
by the Roman Catholic religion. The
lioss will excuse us for saying that he
has got into the wrong church ; he
should join the Catholic church, and
turn Priest, t&ke the vassal with him
into the fold, and then get up a reli
gious Jesuitical ring and be elected
Pope. He could then satisfy the vas
sal with the spoils of the Vatican, and
confer upon Lim a Cardinal's hat.
Bossism is recognized, to such a de
gree in the Catholic Church that it
roaches beyond this earth. The
Priests claim to have the power
conferred upon them of praying
a person into or out of Purgatory,
just as they will it Ambitious
bosses should loin the Catholic
church, and then when a writer would
offer a communication that did not
suit, thev could pr.iv him and anv
editor that had accepted his commu
nication into Purgatory. Protestant
ism is in opposition to bossism ; it is
clearly in favor of the individual ex
ercising Lis own conscience. The
Church, the true Church, Christian
ity, cannot suffer by a publication of
facts relative to church questions.
and that is whv the Tribune in its
vulgar denunciation is guilty of a
public wrong, and a private wrong
against the Sentinel and Republican
and its editor for admitting to his
columns, communications that were
written by members of tie same
church that the vassal's boss belongs
to.

"An institution to which the death
of Geo. Garfield has made a percepti
ble difference is the Cbiistian or Camp

a position of relative obscurity it
suddenly lifted to natiooal fame, as be
ingthe church which tbe President
elect attended: bat now it bears more
inquiries made for the church where
President Arthur worships. Still it
cannot compUio. Its pastor, with rare
rromrtnet-s. ntilned the election of
Gen. Garfield at once in asking sub
scriptions for a new edifice, and they
poured in from all quarters to tbe ex
tent of $30,000. Although afterward
tbe flow of funds was checked, of course
enough had been secured to build a
new church."
-Tbe people that read tbe newspapers
know that beef is sent to England, and

date the Manufacturer Gazette "ex
plains that the secret lies in tbe differ
ence in outting. In Eogland a side of
beef is cut into pieces of from ten to
twenty pounds might, and neither
bone nor fat is removed. Englishmen
when thev buy meat, do not ask for a
pieca of tbe round or sirloin, as Amer
icans do, but for so many pounds of
meat, and are indifferent from which
part of tbe animal it comes."

THRILLING INCIDENTS'
or .
A NEW YORK FIEE.
About 10 o'clock on the morning
of the 31st of last January a fire
broke out in the lower story of a five
story buildng on Park Row, .New
York city. There were a number of
printing offices in the building. Other
business than that of printing was
carried on in the house. Some five
or sis hundred people were employed
in the place. The origin of the fire
has not yet been definitely stated.
People that did business nearest the
locality in the house where the fire
started say that they believe that the
fire started from the engine room.
The jVew York Observer, and The Scien
tific American had offices in the build
ing and are heavy losers. The build
ing was valued at two hundred thou
sand dollars. The house rented for
seventy thousand dollars a year. The
fire soon reached the elevator, up
which it ran with great speed; so
rapidly indeed that people were
not able to escape from the rooms
where they were employed. They
were driven to the windows, and
made their escape as best they could.
Many were seriously hurt in getting
down ; a number were fatally injured,
and eight or ten, it is believed, per
ished in the flames.
The TiianxDio Incidents,
as reported, are many ; only a few
can be mentioned here. Fire-escapes
were Lustily improvised and several
men slid down in safety to the street
The crowd each moment grew larger.
As one after the other, with burned
hands and face, reached the street in
safety the crowd cheered. A woman
standing on the sill of the window of
the fourth story held on to a tele
phono wire with her hand. She was
hatless and Ler clotLing was in a dis
ordered condition. She fanned Ler
self with Ler right Land and waited
for assistance. "Hold fast till I
come I" shouted a brawny fireman,
and a score of brave men and boys
rushed forward aud dragged a ladder
from a hook and ladder company that
had just arrived. Iu an iiist nt a
ladder was placed alongside the build
iug. It oidy reached to the third
story. A cry of dismay wei.t up
from the crowd. "Push up another 1
a hundred voices yelled. Two fire
men jumped up the steps two at a
time, "Can you hold a minute?" the
leader asked the poor woman. "Yes,
but for God's sake hurry," was the
hoarse reply. "Come on, Ben," said
the fireman to bis companion. "D n
the ladder, we must save her," and
up Le went step after step to the top
and his hands just reached the wo
man's feet The crowd held its
breath in suspense ; the woman look
ed calm and collected. "Hold ou to
the wire and step on my shoulder,'
said the fireman. The woman did as
told, and as the brawny fellow went
to move a step she seemed to swoon
and had apparently lost her balance,
when the fireman on the other step
caught her and she was hastily car
ried to the ground.
A long wire connected a telegraph
pole to an upper Park Row window,
aud by cutting the wire at the pole a
fire escape wao improvised, down
which four persons slid from a fourth
story window to the ground- One
man jumped from a fifth story win
dow to the telegraph wires in front
of the building and creeping along
them slide down the polo."
An old man and two young men
appeared at a fourth-story window.
People from the street looked up and
were horrified at the sight of the fire
approaching them. The firemen were
throwing four streams of water
around and about them, keeping them
wet and from being burned up.
Great efforts were made to save them.
"A desk was brought out at the sug
gestion of Mr. Anthony Comstock,
and he braced himself, allowing the
ladder to rest on his back. But
while the ladder was being put in po
sition one of the men dropped, in the
hope of catching it, and, missing Lis
aim, fell to the street, Lis Lead strik
ing the curve with a sickening thud.
He was picked up his name was
RicliM-d Davy and carried into a
cigar store opposite and an ambu
lance was sent for. Iu the mean
time, with the aid of the desk and a
score of stalwart arms, the ladder
was placed directlv under the feet of
one of the men. He was a young
man and further from the flames than
the other, but with a display of brav
ery that called forth the cheers of
tiie LunuTds who saw the act he
stretched oui. bis hand to the older
man and helped Lim to descend first
As the older man reached the siJe
walk his appearance was greeted with
cheers and he was rushed over to the
cigar btore. He was uninjured ; Lis
name was A- M. Stewart and he is the
editor and proprietor of tlie Scottish
American Journal." Then the heroic
young man that stood back to secure
the old man's escape stepped on the
ladder and came down. His name is
Edward Moore, a compositor on the
paper of which the old man was edi
tor. "Two girls, shortly after the
flames were discovered, appeared at
