ORIGINAL SALVATION ARMY.

NegrO's LAST Century Organization
similar 10 General Booth Plan.
From the Brooklyn Citizen.
There Is nothing new under the sun"
not wen the Salvation army. In point
of fact the Salvation army idea. move
ment. or whatever IL is DESTROYS OF
calling it, dates back Ill years. and
owes it's origin to a negro. The scene
of it's birth was in the old John Street
Methodist church, in September, 1855.
Now that, owing to the illness of Mn.
Ballington Booth, there Is SO much talk
about their introducing the Salvation
army In New York. IL is interesting TO
learn h = the movement was outlined
in "a campaign OF God against the
devir' almost 100 years prior to the
coming here OF General Booth and lady.
This movement was complete in ag-
gressive scriptural texts, the singing Of
ic, the uniform n other characteris-
tics of the present day War Cry car
riers.
Those who are inclined to doubt these
statements may look up the New York
Gazetteer, and under date of September
IL, 1856. they will find the following no.
tice:
Lately come to this city q very sim
gular black young man, who, IL Is said,
is quite ignorant of letters, yet he has

al we'll disposed, ~judicious people. He
delivers his d~iscourses with great zeal
and pathos. and his language and O n
nection are by no meal contemplate.
IL liz the wish of several of our corre-
spondents that the same black man
may be 80 far successful as TO ROUSE
the dormant zeal of numbers of our
slothful white people. who seem little
affected abou the concerns of another
world"
The black man referred to above (his
name il not recorded) gave h may
be termed a religious entertainment
outside of the regular services at the
old John Street church. He introduced
the singing of religious words to the
popular airs of the day. thereby secur-
ing the attention of the auditors by in
viting them to follow him in praisine
God through the mediums most famil-
lar to their ears. He also INTRODUCES
a sort of religious dancing, and the up
lifted banner inscribed with warlike
scriptural texts. He was dressed in
a uniform of red, white and black-the
black symbolizing sin, the white purity
and the red being emblema:ic of the
blood of atonement.
This is precisely what the Salvation
army Is doing today. Like the Negro
of over 100 years ago, IL has its uni
form and banners. it's religious songs
sung to secular airs, N its warliks
texts selected from scripture. The
Booths merely r~eintroduced the meth
DDS of the black man, for he preached
the idea of the army in all his dis
courses, trying to start h ''campaisr
of God against the devil" And so II
is, with all due respect to Genera
Booth and Lady Booth, whose illness 4
is hoped will not have any more serious
result han a period of disability. thai
we find their movement but a counter
part of wha. originated in the long
long ago with an obscure negro. who's
name even has passed into the Oblivion
of the past century.

THE THIRD VIRGINIA.

a mountain has been made out of mole
hill with respect 10 the disturbance in
which some members of the Third Vir-
ginia Regiment were engaged at Camp
Alger on Monday afternoon
Great injustice has been done that COM
mand by the Washington Post and by
General Butler. The Posts account OF
The affair was far from correct, and
never should have been admitted TO its
columns. 1t at least has the excuse of
having had to collect its news and write
II out In haste. but there is no such excuse
for General Buffers hurry in delivering
judgment.
He must have been under great excite
ment when he wrote his order lambasting
the regiment. If he had waited until he
was cooler, and until he had gathered all
of the facts Of the case, we believe he
never would have put his name to such
paper. As southern man, who knows
how quick our whites are TO fly TO anger
when one Of them is beaten by a negro,
he should have been more considerate
jiis course in this matter reminds us OF
the man who always stood so straight
that he leaned backwards. A regular
army officer could not have been more
severe In dealing with regulars than he
was in dealing with our volunteers.
Possibly some of our soldiers deserve
punishment, but the great mass Of those
who were attracted to the spot by the
outcries, and who went there merely
through curiosity, should be forgiven. In
deed. they have been punished enough al
ready by the ill-considered language of
General Butler. which has been widely
published.
We know not what other steps are to
be taken in this matter, but we earnestly
trust that upon reconsideration General
Butler will see that justice TO the regi-
ment requires him to annul, or at least
10 revise, his general order.

FOR CLEAR WATER.

Dr. Hunter Mcclure is quoted by a cor
respondent whose letter appears in yes
terdays Dispatch as being opposed to
the storage system OF clarifying city
water. He fears that after standing for
some time the water will become impure
The question that he raises is very
serious one OF what avail would be
our expenditure in constructing settling
basins, II the water thus clarified should
prove to be unfit 10 drink?
True, we should have clear water for
washing and bathing, but for drinking
water we should be just where we are
now. Whether DR.. McGuire'5 fears are
well grounded or not, we do not know.
But our City Council can find out. Let
the Council appropriate ten or fifteen
thousand dollars at once, and let our
water department begin series of exper-
iments with basins and filters upon fair
~ large scale.
Scores OF other cities are using filters
some OF which we should like 10 see tried
here. We should like TO have them put
into operation where the clarified water
from them might be tried by thousands
of people. They could be put up in Monroe
Park or on the triangular Brook-ayenue
lot, or in front of the post-ofiice, or down
BY the Old Market. or In Marshall Park.
A settling basin, too, might be estab-
lished at some suitable point We have
more than 25O acres of land in the New
Reservoir Park. and little OF IL is in use;
possibly site for such basin might be
found there. Such a basin, though on a
small scale. would show us precisely
what might be expected Of basin on a
great scale.
We do not dlsparage In the slightest
degree any experiments that have been
made by our Water Department BY no
means: but what is wanted now is Sc
ries OF experiments on a scale large |
enough 10 be viewed by the general public. |
The little they would cost would be money /
well invested. We know OF no other way
IN which similar sum could be spent
TO $50 much advantage 70 the public.
A@s'n. these tests. II made where they
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-08-11

could be viewed by the people generally
would engage the attention OF the masses
Thus we might make sure that II any
practical plan was developed, 1t would be
adopted.
1t would pay Richmond to go into this
investigation seriously. Such muddy
water as we have been having for sew
eral months past cannot be tolerated
much longer. The people are up In arms,
as II were. against the nasty-lookIng
stuff. Furthermore, the lack OF clear
hydrant water imposes a serious tax upon
many families.
Whoever expects the family washing
10 be done decently must either provide
vessels for catching a supply OF rain
water or must have water brought from
the neighboring wells or springs. AS for
drinking water that has now become
permanent source OF expense to hundreds
Of families here.
These are facts that are discreditable
to Richmond. The cause OF complaint
should be removed. But how? Well,
investigation. And we know OF no method
of investigation that could be so effective.
so educational. as series of experiments
with filters and settling basins-experi-
ments made where thousands might see
them going on. Seeing is believing is
an old saying which we think applies with
great force in, this case.
