citation TO make. In the twenty -four
wears in which the Republicans were
in power the government received ten
times more money than had been re-
ceived in all the previous existence of
the nation, and iisbursed nine times
as much as had been disbursed in the
earlier era Yet the losses were only
hall as great in she aggregate in the

period which passed before. Out OF
the money distributed by government
officials from the beginning OF Wash
ington's term to the close OF Buch-
anan s the loss amounted 70 s. IL on
every $1,000, while IN the Republican
days the losses were brought down to
81 cents on each $1,000. In the term OF
Buchanan. the latest Democratic pres
idenf before Cleveland, there was s. 81

stealing amounted TO less than cent

stronger during the Republican era
than they were in the period which

not done. The exigencies of war
added largely TO the governments re-

always creates loosened the moral re-
straints which society is enabled to ini-I
pose In times peace. Opportunity as

feasance was present during the first
eight or 10 years Of Republican rule to
a degree never approached in the ear

purity in the Republican regime was
much higher even than il was during

elder Adams. The Democratic party

charge of the work Of relieving the poor
in Strasburg, after the celebrated seige,
and shortly after was sent on to Paris
where she was given sole charge of the
task of supplying the poor of the City of
Paris with necessaries of life. When her
work ended there, Germany invested her
with the Iron Gross and Baden decorated her
with the Gold Cross of Baden. She came
back to her native land and organized
the Red Cross Society Of America in
1881, and was made its President. By
treaty of nations her society, as well
as the European original, is recognized,
and its agents are exempted from the re-
strictions placed upon travel, and in time
of war from most of the regulations con-
corning communication between hostile
camps. There is no instance on record OF
any member of this noble fraternity wear
ing the red cross upon the arm of the gray
| habit of the order, ever violating any trust
reposed, or communicating any contra
band information. In 1884 Claraf Barton
and her society were given charge of the
work of relieving the sufferers by the
Ohio and Mississippi floods. She was
sent as delegate to the International
Peace Congress held at Geneva in the
same year. The United States paid her
the distinguished honor of requesting her
to write History of the Red Cross
Society" with which she complied, and il
was printed by order of Congress. When
the devastating flames from forest fires be-
gan to sweep across Northern Michigan
Clara Barton and the sisterhood of the
Red Cross were earliest at the scene of dis
tress, and unhesitatingly the people pu
themselves under their splendid admins
trative generalship. When the cyclones
and tornadoes devastated a fair section o.
Texas, the Red Cross was found in the
fore front of danger and woe, relieving
encouraging, and discussing with expert
enced wisdom the charities of the people
When Charleston was shaken to the cen.
ter by the earthquake, the noble band o.
unselfsh workers in Gods service were, a:
by magic, discovered while yet the earth
trembled, laboring unselfshly to relieve
human distress The sublime life of this
plain, simple, unpretentious and self-sacri.
ticing woman is one Of the grandest monu.
ments to charity and merciful kindness
the world has witnessed. She will pass
away, but the work and example of such a
life will never depart from among the
races of men.

CLARA RARTON.

During the greatest distress at Johns
town there appeared upon the scene that
helper of humanity, Clara Barton, with
strong corps of her Red Cross ministers of
charity and heIpfulneSs. These devoted
women labor among the suffering accord
ing to a systematized method that enables
them to accomplish the maximum of good
with the minimum of money expenditure.
They devote themselves 10 the cause of
humanity, regardless of creed. faith or race.
Their sublime mission is interpreted by
their motto Relief in war, famine, pesti-
lence and other national calamities." 1t
Is grand work in which they engage, and
one of the chief virtues of their system is
that 1t does not demand of the members of
the society conventual life, religious dec
laration nor the desertion of the duties Of
home, though when called to the field
nearly all things else yield Clara Barton is
now woman nearly 90 years of age. She
entered upon her magnificent work of re-
lief of distress in the early stages of the
war of the rebellion. She was General
Buffers famous Lady in charge of the
hospitals at the Front" in 1864. The
next year she went to Ander. onville to
identify and mark the graves of the Union
soldiers who miserably persisted there, and
then President Lincoln commissioned her
to search for missing Union soldiers. In
all these offices she developed splendid
executive ability and undauuted courage.
tempered by the gentleness of loving,
compassionate and refined woman. In
1870 she was found engaged in her splen-
did work in the Franco-German war, and
all the nations of Europe rang with her
praises and did her honor. The Grand
Duchess of Baden, herself great philan-
thropist, made her her chief assistant in
the preparation of the military hospitals.
Here she FIRST became acquainted with the
work Of the Red Cross Society, and at
once united in it. She was given entire

DICTATOR HoFFMEYER declares that
the band-men are not strictly" militia
men, and are not bound to obey the orders
of the COMMANDMENTS Chief. They are
the only militiamen who receive pay for
service, and good round S. day pay at
that. They are uniformed, given head
quarters and many exemptions and privi-
