THE SALVATION Army.

The arrest of persons belonging
to the salvation army because OF
their peculiar, and to most people,
distasteful methods, will bring up
for defiuition the legal question
what is breach OF the peace or,
perbnps, tue question as fually
presented will be Do the tLipgs
done by these people amount to dis
tutbiog the public peace 1t is al
legged that they make loud noise
but so do bands Of music, though
The musicians nre not arrested not
regarded rs offensive. An organ
gribder is permitted to send on,
dIscordant sounds that not one pei .
son in thousaud wants to hear
and to do it on the Sidewalk in front
OF the best business houses every
body wants him away. but they wait
for him 10 leave at his will on.
GERS rarely interfere A minstrel
iroup Of full grown men who could
do well at some useful business, vii
stretch out hundred yards or sc
aud march about town blowing
brass horns and beating drums, and
people will stand on the walks and

they pass. Nobody thinks Of ar.
resting item Indeed, there are d
great many things that are very
nosy and yet permitted 70 be done
on the public streets Of cities with
out giving offense, at least not to
the extent Of subjectiug the parties
concerned to arrest.
The Salvation army, however, is
offensive in many Instances if not in
oil Of their public demonstrations,
and there must be something about
their performances that goes beyond
the mere matter OF making a noise,
or officers would net feel called up
on to interfere 10 the interests OF
public peace. There must be some-
thing about their displays that tends
TO provoke disturbance on tho part
L; others the offensive features
must be such as to invite assaults
or other uulas fol coniuct from per-
sons otherwise peaceable e2l laws

truth lies 10 these cases Of trouble

Shot by Il Burglar.

At Marion on Monday night, the 9Th
instant, Duncan NJ. Dew, a young man
who clerks in the store of B. r. Mul.
Inns, was Shot in the neck by burglar
and probably fatally wounded. Mr.
Dew and Mr.. r. Reeves were sleeping
at the store, and between - and /
o'clock that night they heard some one
in the warehouse, twenty feet in the
rear Of the store. They were unarmed
but took lamp and eNploredIthe ware
house. Mr.. Dew observed negro
burglar hiding behind some boxes and
ordered him to surrender. The clerk
closed in with him and in the scufie
that ensued the negro got his pistol to
the yonng mans neck and fired. Mr..
Dew fell, and the negro ran over Mr..
Reeves, knocking the lamp from his
hand, and made his escape. The negro
was recognized as Henry Williams. He
had bored hole through the floor and
thus effected an entrance.

Interest DwindlinC,

When the attack on the President
was first made we expected to have
several weeks of spicy reading embrac-
ing rhetorical flourlshes, dramatic
episodes, thrilling foor-scenes, flashes of
wit and humor, fine displays of Ameri-
can oritory and specimens of genuine
craftsmanship that would compare
favorably with the great debates of
Calhoun and Webster. But after two
or three harangues and Senator Ken
mas knock-down speech in defense of
the President, all interest in the affair
seems to have dwindled and died out.
The truth is, the Republicans have
been badly whipped and we are likely
to hear no more of it save a few ran
dom shots here and there and some
wrangling over the appointments
of the President.
There is no doubt.as to the rejection
of many of these appointments, indeed
the President himself knows Of several
which ought to be rejected, against
whom some very disgraceful disclosures
have been made. II such charges
against these nominees could he authen-
ticated, it would be well for the Presi-
dent, of his own option, to act and
thereby save bis administration from
The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1886-03-25

scandal and the injury consequent
upon it. Already quite number of
these very nominations in the Revenue
Department have been confirmed iby
the Senate, and we may expect the
same policy to obtain with regard to
those in other departments of the
government. 1t seems to us that the
sensible view to take of the whole
question is, that removals were abso-
lutely necessary in order that the execu-
ton of the laws might be in accord
with the policy of the administration
A Democratic administration cannot
be successful with the subordinate
officials in the hands of partisan Re.
publicans. This NJ Cleveland knew
and it would have Deen folly for him tc
have pursued any other course than
that adopted.

Small Souls.

There are some people whose charity
does not extend beyond their own
homes and who believe nobody is worth
consideration except one of their own
kith and kin. We have met with few
examples of this littleness Of soul so
contemplate as the action Of the four
Senators who voted against the bill
allowing the widow of Gen. W. S. Han
cock an annual pension of $4,000 in ac-
cordance with the established custom
of the government. These same gentle
men were willing to rob the Treasury
of millions of, dollars by the general
Pension Bill when it promised to Sc
cure votes for their party; but to ap-
propriate annually a few dollars as a
pension to the widow of an officer who
had done as much or more for the
Union cause than any General in their
army and whose conduct since the war
and previous to his death mad given
more dignity and tone to the Federal
government than any man connected
with it, was more than their narrow
minds could conceive or their little
souls allow. No investment pays so
we'll as money given to reward unusual
talent or unselfsh devotion on the part
of a citizen to the cause Of his country,
and no investment pays so poorly us
money given by a government as a
bribe to secure the devotion Of her citi-
+zens to a mere party. Our lawmakers
should understand the difference and
shape their legislation accordingly.
