Nothing better shows the
SPIRIT OF THE GIvERs
than is evinced by the good words from num-
Der of Colorado comrades in forwarding their
offerings of love. Adjutant Daniels of Farra-
gut Post, Denver, in sending $3.50, he wishes it
were a hundred times larger, and Comrade j.
Harrison, Post Commander, in addressing the
National Treasurer Mrs. l.. A. Turner, says,
specially referring to Miss Carroll:
BREAD FOR THE LIVING.
The great services to humanity and our country
of the noble woman in whose behalf this Post has
received your circular, demands the liveest graft
tude and the most complete acknowledgement.
her great services have been thus and so long ig-
nored, speaks but poorly for the claim of ours to
be regarded as the exception among Republics
grateful one The fact that 1T was not for hope OF
any reward,-that any citizen of the Republic may
be proud of abilities and the opportunity for their
exercise in its behalf does not of itself in any de-
gree compensate. If we cannot heap graft
tude upon the 100000 whose loy VI lives went to
purchase anew our liberties, whose blood cements
tens of thousands whose claims are to-day
lingering in the shadow of selfish legislation,
along with the slow justice that Anna Ella
Carroll may not live to see but which should
write upon the grand monument the nations will
one day rear to universal freedom: 1t was bread
that was asked for by the living; we give this
stone to the dead" My Post is small and feeble.
think there were perhaps Is members present
when the appeal was read. We are working men,
and the old slave hunting spirit of capital in
bination, which is fast reducing us to poverty and
has frightened out of many the faith that should
unite us for the general good, has left little to
give, but we send our mite with a Godspeed.
Forsyth Relief Corps, Toledo, o., has been
inspected by the Department Inspector, Mrs.
Battels, of Akron, who expressed herself graft
fled with its general condition. Its cash ex-
penditures for widows and orphans charity for
the past year were reported as about 5000, in
dependent of clothiSg and supplies upon which
no valuation has been placed. Akron is the
place of meeting for the Annual Encampment,
GAR, and Department Convention, W.R.C.,
and Mrs. Battels reports that ample arrange
ments will be made for the care of all.
