SALVATION ARMY "RELIGION. /"

The aggressive features of the nuisance
known as the Salvation Army must be modi-
fed or the business put an end to. That it is
a nuisance seems TO be fully realized by every
community in which it has found foothold,
and the people of indianapolis are to be con-
graduated that it has received no encourage
ment here. The Salvation Army in its out
ward manifestations is travesty on religion.
The "sun dance of the Digger Indian,
the awful tortures inflicted upon themselves
by the Penitentes of Mexico, are fully as
dignifed and religious" as is the absurd and
ridiculous antics of these fanatics, who place
more stress on the rattle and bang that they
might accomplish were they moro intent on
religion than on racket. The riot at Akron,
O., is exactly what might have been ex-
pected, and is but another disturbance of the
kind added to a long list. After the novelty
of this thing is passed, the nonsense and din
become intolerable, and it is not
strange that decent and peaceful people
revolt against it. The army have not only
disturbed the peace Of every city they have
infested, but they have scandalized nearly
every one. 1t could not be otherwise. The
elements Of society that their boisterous rites
enlist arc the weak and the vicious, and the
result is that they are more engaged by the
outre demonstrations attendant upon this
thing than by any small amount of religion
that may be concealed under them. What
the Salvation Army must be taught is that
its members have exactly the same rights
that other citizens have, and no more. A re-

ligious fanatic has no more right to toot q
horn or beat cymbals and drums in the streets
to the production of discordant sounds, than
has any other citizen, sane or otherwise. If
religion is intended for anything it is to come
to the aid Of law and order, and to minister to
the comfort and wellbeing of the people.
When it exceeds this, and takes upon
itself to insult and defy those who
do not agree with it, it is
time that it be checked, for
it then becomes an offense-a nuisance
that must be abated in the interest Of the
public peace. The participants in the 'salva-
ton craze cannot appeal to public sympathy
and respect by driving the people wild with
the rattle of drums and the shrek Of horns.
Unless all people go crazy in the same manner
this thing will have to be restricted to the
limits of decency occupied by people not so

Mr.. Bell has been a member since
the formation Of the present board,
and its president for many years. He has
been an intelligent, experienced and capable
commissioner. The same may be said of Mr..
Browning and Mr.. Smith, who feel that they
have earned respite from the labors and re-
sponsibilities they have so earnestly and un,
selhshly borne. Mr.. Bell retires because Of q
complication in the district which might other

of the better elements of the district. By the
retirement he gives further proof of his sin
cere interest in and friendship for the
schools. Mr.. Conner, who was agreed
upon as the candidate to succeed Mr..
Bell ON the board accepts the race under
strong protest and only because of pressure
from those citizens and friends Of the schools
who do not want to see the school board cap
tured by Sim Coy and his disreputable
crowd. Coy has been spending sew

AMERICAN BUILT SHIPS.

The rebuke administered by Hon W. E.
Chandler ex-Secretary Of the Navy, is timely
and should have the effect of silencing the
systematic and senseless abuse of such vessels
as are built by American firms 1t is as un-
generous, unpatriotic, as it would be to decry
the products of any other branch of American
manufacture. The hostility evinced toward
the Dolphin was spitework and nothing else
The Democratic and mugwump press united
to condemn it in advance, and to prejudice
the people against it. John Roach, one of the
was roundly abused, and the only apology
tn at could have been offered was that new
machinery did not work with the smoothness
of old. And when, in good time, the product
of his ship yard performed even better than
was required, this hostile press, with one ex-
ception refused to make reparation for the
harm inflicted It is shame that party
prejudice is able to so blind those
journals hostile to the Republican party
cause them to work injury to American indus
tries for the sole reason that they may not be
Democratic. The New York Post mugwump,
moved to make some reparation, showed that
of the score or two iron steamers built by
John Roach all had proved perfectly salts
factory to their purchasers, and were the
equals of vessels of their class made anywhere.
The ex-Secretary expresses regret that the
navy may not, like the militia and the army,
be kept free from partisanship He explains
the action of Congress, two years ago. in or
dering that the building and repairing of mod
ern vessels should cease, and authorizing the
construction of four armored vessels the first
to be finished being the Dolphin" which has
proved satisfactory. The Dolphin" is dis
patch boat, while the other three vessels, now
nearly finished, are cruisers. II hazard the
prediction" says Mr.. Chandler, "and am will
ing to stake my fate upon the result, that all
four Of the ships will prove successful in every
respect; war vessels of which the country
will be proud, and which will compare favor
ably with the best ships of any nation This
may be regarded as rash language, but it is
infinitely better and more patriotic than to turn
against everything American that is not Dem
ocratic.
These four vessels are the beginning of
what is to be the modern navy of the United
States. Last winter Congress authorized the
building of FIVE additional vessels of war, and
Secretary Whitney is empowered to proceed
with their construction. Is the precedent set
by the Democratic and mugwump press to be
followed, and prejudice raised such as will
prevent the building of these vessels by
American workmen2 Mr. Chandler expresses
patriotic hope 'that not only the first four,
but the first nine ships of the new navy will
be valuable and successful; that they will not
be treated as four Republican ships and five
Democratic ships but as nine American ships,
bearing the flag proudly wherever they may

however, did not elect Jefferson, as two votes
