MAY BE A PROTEST.
Complaint Against Local Saliva
ton Army.
SHOULD SEEK OTHER QUARTERS

rhsl Commander-in.chisfI ndicssd Uader
the Same Cifcunstancss-Ths Source Of
Annoyance to which Exception 10
Taken.
A protest, signed by citizens in the
neighborhood OF the barracks in
Burial block on Second avenue.
against the local Salvation Army
corps may be made to the next meet
ing of the city council. 1t cannut
be gainsaid that the people Of Rock
Island have been lenient and
liberal in their disposition toward
the contingent of Booths band in
this city, and as TEE ARGUS has
been acquainted with the complaint,
there is no disposition now to be
unreasonable or oppressive as re-
CARDS its methods Of arousipg re-
ligious enthusiasm, but it is the ex-
tent to which the demonstration is
carried that has aroused the prevail
ing feeling. While the corps is or
derby in its way, and the captains have
as q rule made friends here, yet each
commander comes with different
ideas aud notions, and these are
shaken up with almost every change
in the moon. Some of the leaders
are more demonstrative and noisy
than others. There was one en-
thusiastic officer here last fall who
insisted upon swinging his army in
behind the campaign procession on
every possible occasion, and attempt
ing to make more racket than the pc
litical organizations. The effect WIS 8
simply to bring the army into undue
prominence, and to do it more harm
Than good, as it was subjected to
ridicule. and the captain regarded
as of very light material for such
a sacred calling. Under the pres ent
commander the army's meetings o. Q
much more noisy than they have
been for some time. They last
longer each evening. and both on tt Q
square and in the barracks the pee
pie for two blocks along Second av-
enue are disturbed by the demonstra-
ton.
The Remedy Proposed.
As said before, there is no purpose
TO interfere with the Salvation
Army's mode of worship and its
plans for doing good, and just how
Tar the law can interfere is a CUES
ton, any way. The army is always
ready to fight for its rights. and a
couple OF years ago when Mayor Knox
ordered the cessation of the drum
beating on Sunday, the army took
the matter into the cou,ts and
showed that the drum was an instru-
ment Of worship, and that the mayor
could not interfere with its use by
the army. In New York recently q
protest was made against the rack ct
made at the barracks of the comman-
der-in-chief of the army there, but
no attention was paid to the remon-
STRANGE. The commander-in-chief
Booth-Tucker, was indicted this week
by the grand jury for maintaining q
public nuisance.
But the remedy for the Rock ISL
and annoyance is what is sought
now, and inasmuch as there was no
complaint as long as the army was
more removed from the business and
residence portions, it is suggested
that the captain endeavor to find
barracks SO situated as not to cause
so much disturbance. Accommoda-
lions might be had on First avenue,
where the army could conduct itself
to its hearts content without annoy

OFFICIALS DISINCLINED TO TALK.

FEW OPINIONS EXPRESSED on THE APPELLATE
DIVISIONS CIVIL SERVICE DECISION.
prookIvn officials were disinclined yesterday TO
cav much about the Appellate Divisions decision
IN the Civil Service suit Corporation Counsel Burr
said in reply to questions that the constitution does
not establish a different standard Of determining
merit from the previously existing statute.
Edward NJ Shepard considers that the constitu-
ton does establish a different standard and that
an appointment which would not be good since
January / 1885 might be good If made before that
time Mr. Burr on the other hand. thinks that It
makes no difference when appointments were made.
He saws that II r. Is improper TO make appoint
ments under this constitution to-day. II was I'M
proper TO do so ten years ago under the statute.
This opinion OF Nj. Burr will be read with the
greatest interest by the large number OF employes
In the non-compcttive schedule appointed before
January l. 1885.
