4 Brave Women Of the War.

Miss Clara Barton, who was nominated and confirmed April II as superlntend- ent 0s the women's prison al SherOOrn, Mass, IS the daughter 0f the late Judge Barton, of Worcester. Her father, at his decease, left her with small com peteuce. and when the war broke out sine deemed 1t her duty to 20 into the field to take care of sick and wounded soldiers. She did that duty tO the full acceptance and commendation of every commander ln wn se army she was, and obtained the love and respect ot every soldier and officer of every grade. After the war was over she was detailed by the secretary of war Co 20 down Co AndersOnville and see to the memorials snd history of the prisoners confined there, and take care of the sick and destitute who were left behind. At the breaking out of the Franco-German war she again went tO the field, this time acting in connection with the OrganIza- ton known as the Association of the Rel Cross. which has for its object the relief of the sick and wounded without regard to thearuy ID winch they are serv- ing. a society respected by the armies If every civilized nation. After the war was over Miss Barton returned home and established branch of the association of the Red Cross ID the United States, of which society she is now the Pre7l- dent. This association also contem- plates the relief of great dIstre=ses of the people by floods, accidents snd epi- denies in the time Of peace. The em- peror and empress of Germany sub- scribed a large sum for the relief of the -ufferings Of the Germans caused by the late floods in the west, which sum was sent to President Arthur. and was by him turned over to Miss Barton to be by her distributed through the agency of her association, ID which employment she IS at present engaged. Early ID hIs term of office Governor Butler, who was acquainted with Miss Barton and her services ID his army in Virginia, ten dered to her the appointment of super intsndent of the reformatory prison for womel. This appointment she declined however for the reason that she must finish the work which had already been imposed upon her. The Governor therefore kept the position open until the time when Miss Barton could &C.,

A correspondent of the Boston Herald,
 writing from Washington makes the
 following statement as to the prospects
 and standing of John A. Logan with
 his party, as probable candidate for
 president:
 Whom can the Republican party unite
 on? That Is the question. Aud the
 answer IS swiftly made that II can not
 unite Ou any body identified with Gar
 field and Blaine during the past two
 years. It can not solIdIfy around any
 body who IS mere stalwart or stalwart idol. There must be found a man who
 is not identified with the struggle that
 evolved Guiteau-a man whom Grant
 men and Blaine men can 6ll approach.
 Logan IS In this position. tie stands On
 ms ground distinct from the stalwart
 opponents of Garfield That was an affair in which he had no part. He spent the evening with OOnkling twelve hours before COnklIng resigned his seat ln the Senate, but Conkllng did not consult hIm about 1t because COnkling knew be Was on good terms with Gar field. He represents the great State of Illinois. More than all, he was success tui volunteer soldier, and ms great speech m the Senate against EItz John Porter and Grants support of FItZ John Porter, has brought hun into closer sympathy with vast Lumber of the soldiers of the Union than any other man It Is strict truth tO say that Grant stepped down from his pedestal ID the minds and hearts of thousands of veterans of the war when be undertook the advocacy of P0rter's cause, and Logan promptly stepped up into the vacant place.

The Hebrew Race.
New York Truth.


 It IS not altogether true that in all great revolutions Hebrews have taken part, but fl a great revolution becomes necessary to secure freedom of con- science, as m the great rebellion against British despOtIsm in its American colo uIes, the Hebrew would not be less progressive, less patriotic or less courageous than then the French Huge not, the German prnscupt or the Irish Catholic m assertion of the rights of manhood and of citizenship. But that as a race they have had recourse to as- sazsinati0u or destruction IS emphatical- y untrue. They have borne the exac- tgus Of rapaciOus barons, the cOutumely of ignorant fauarIcIsm, the oppression of despots with fOrttude and dignity. Throughout the centuries during which th-y have had their rehgiOn reviled, theIr lives ieupardIZed, and their prop -rty pluudered in every European cOun- try, there is barely one act Of indignant r-prisaL The story of their suherings is not marred by brutal outbreaks such a- those by English mObs, oy cruel mutilatIOn such as that of the Russian Czars, by secret assassination societies like of which OrsinI was the agent, or by agrarian murders like those of Ire land. It IS unnecessary Co add perhaps that iu the annals of the Hebrew people there cannot be found even a prOsype of the notorious Molly MaguIres.

OUR OK THIS TIME

It makes a great difference with some
 people whether their own bull, or some
 ones else OK has been gored. Robert
 Lincoln recently refused to approve the
 appropriation of S210,OO0 voted by Con
 gress last August for the improvement
 of the channels on the Sacramento and
 Feather rivers. NIT. Lincoln based his
 objection of allowing { e money to be
 exp nded, on the ground that Do benefit
 would be derived from such expendi-
 tures, and that the money would be
 thrown away, if hydraulic mining con
 tiuues. or course all the newspapers
 on the coast find fault with the action of
 MT. Lincoln; but had he withheld h
 similar amount which has been voted Tor the improvement of an eastern or southern rIver on anything like the grounds advanced against the expendi- ture of S2l00OO on the Sacramento and Feather rivers, these California journals may have found something in the decis- ion to approve The Chronicle com plains that ''the judgment of one man ID the Executive Department of the Gov ernment practically annuls an Act of Congress making an appropriation of mouey for purpose, which Congress to be absolutely ess seutial to the continued navigation of the two rivers Of this State" Does the Chroni- cle believe that Congress made this ap- proprla-lOn with any knowledge of the facts, or that Congress considered ait to be absolutely essential to the continued ! navigation" of those rivers? The Chrou- le!e well knows that the FOrty-sixth ! Congress which voted SO many millions 1. Of dollars away to river and harOors did l. hot consider the absolutely essential l portion' of any bill. The absolute es- sentlal' work of that body was not in- 4ulrng iuto the necessity of an appro- | priatlon for any particular measure. IL ! was the ambition of nearly every mem
 er ot the FOrty-sixth Congress in whose . district there was river, estuary or larbOr and-in some instances creeks -o see how much of the svag he could get away with California fared well as he Chairman of the Commerce was Mr. Page of that State. In fact Califor- lii has succe eeded admirably in securing snug appropriations for years past, and ye know that some of the money ex- pended in that State was not needed, md did little or no good. While the 'urnals of California may berate NIT. Lincoln, and find fault because he with leld the appropriation referred to; We believe the country will generally ap- prove his act. That the people do not approve If such useless expenditure of he pubic funds, was pretty conclusively
 Aown al the election last fall, when a -ery large proportion Of the men who avored the reckless expenditure of money were relegated to private life.

Now, THAT the location ot the public school building has been definitely set tied, We presume that those of our citi- zens who were opposed to the site will examine he location and the grounds, which as some parties stated were on a rhinestone ledge" We visited the grounds yesterday, and instead of find ing a limestone ledge, we found that there was plenty of good soil, notwith- standing a great deal has been hauled down town for building purposes. The site We found to be beautiful one, and when the new ediice IS placed upon 1t, 1t will present fine appearance and may be seen for miles on nearly all roads leading into the city. But we should not be content with central school building and ward school houses. The time is near at hand when Ariz na will need a Territorial or State Univer- sity, where the higher branches may be taught; where the coming generation may be instructed in Arizona as well as in Kansas, California or the East. Tue son. m our opinion, would be a good place to locate such an institution Of learning, and Military plaza would fur nish c1mmodious and slightly locatIOn for such a purpose. It has been said that the plaza cannot be given away or sold for any purpose, but "where there IS a will there Is a way" and we have no doubt but, If the citizens of Tucson de- sire it, that title could be made. If there Is no authority fir such transfer now, we have no doubt the Legis sture could legally authorize the Mayor and Council to dispose of the Military plaza for educational purposes. The Terri tory of AIizons could well afford to in- vest Sl00,O0O in improvements. If Tucson would donate this magnificent tract of ground. which contains about fifty acres Ia the very heart of the city, to the Territory for the purpose of erecting a University building thereon.
