Some months ago we had occasion to point out to the general public that the Salvation Army was purely a money-l making organization and that the cm- cers and soldiers in it were starved and neglected, and the funds which should have been expended to maintain them handed over to swell the already colos- sal bank account of the top-sawyer and chief fakir of the movement, “ General ” Booth. In a series of articles we point- ed out that the concern was rotten, that it was a great money-grabbing scheme, that it was permeated by the rankest hypocrisy, and that the members of it were poor deluded dupes of the worst combination of mountebanks and queer- workers the religious world ever encount- cred. The Army made no reply to our strictures, nor did it attempt any de- fence, save a lying interview with Com- missioner Coombes which he supplied to the Canadian Advance, and which that cleverly conducted paper evidently admitted to its columns under the be- lief that it was truthful and honest. As we have said, the Army made no defence, but “ Commissioner " Coombes, who was as wily a party as ever we had to do with, was removed to Australia. Sumner, the editor of the War Cry, who first exposed the grasping greed and ungodly conduct of Booth’s tools here, and against whom it was after- wards averted a very serious accusation existed, was spirited out of the country, and was next heard of in London, where he was retained about headquarters as a man who knew too much to be abroad, until he was tempted to steal two watch- es left conveniently near him, with that purpose probably, and now be is safe in jail, silenced and discredited. We are glad to know that the expose in The News opened the eyes of many to the ribald and blasphemous character of the movement and caused them to withdraw from it, but we are sorry to say that enough adhered to it to prolong its ex- istence and its predatory assaults upon the sympathies and purses of a patient public. The same sort of a revolt has been making matters warm for the Booths in England. Prominent in the move- ment for some years was a Mr. Brick, who served the Army as inspector of buildings, and Mr. Sherwood, an archi- tect. These are reputed to be well- meaning, earnest gentlemen who did much to increase the influence of the Army, but some time ago they became disgusted with the heartless greed and despicable meanness of the Booths and their sycophantic satellites, and they have taken the platform against them. Copies of the Oldham Chronicle to hand give accounts of immense meetings which Messrs. Brick and Sherwood ad- dressed iu that town, and truly they made a shocking arraignment of the Booths, and an alarming expose of their methods. Booth's income from the Army last year was £800,000, or 84,- 000,000. This the “General,” whose object evidently is to sack the world in- stead of to save it, holds with such a firm hand that none of the officers, save those who are pals with the " General,” can get a penny ofit. Broken in health, in heart, in pocket, many of the oflicers have been reduced to beggary and are found living in hovels, in cellars, in slums wherever they can hide their weary heads. Men and women who have been paraded up and down the country as converts, and made to do duty as attractions or freaks at what is called “ big goes,” have been abandoned to pcuury and the street when they be- came no longer profitable, and there are records to show that many returned to the evil ways from which the Army professed to have rescued them. We intend to print extracts from Messrs. Brick and Sherwood’s exposures as soon as we have space to devote to it, that supporters in Canada of this movement for revenue only may know the sordid depravity of it and how the people in England are beginning to regard it. There can be no denying that the Army did deserving work before the promoters of it developed avariciousuess, but of late years it has been nothing but a vul- gar scramble for spoil on the part of the Booths, and the devil take the hindmost. a- At least one-half of the buildings burned in Boston the other day were tire-proof. That is, they had iron stair- ways and iron windows and shutters, which is supposed to constitute a fire- proof building in most cities. A very useful invention, tending to lessen the possibility of accidents in fac- tories, is now being extensively adopted in England. The breaking ofa glass which is adjusted against the wall of every room in the mill, will at once stop the engine. an electric current being es- tablished between the room and the throttle valve of the engine, shutting off steam in an instant. By this means I the engine was stopped at one of the mills recently in a few seconds, and a young girl whose clothes had become- entangled in an upright shaft was re- leased uninjured. \““ -4): : :‘- On the 12th inst., the wife of Mr. John R.
