port of the county clerk. And, not
Wlthstanding the fact that no part
OF this cost appears to be paid by
the city, / have assumed one-half
OF the amount as the city's portion
of the expenses for the sake of MAX
ing total to compare with the
other places.
In Kansas City the board of health
and city hospital are combined, and
the only other provision for the poor
that appears in the reports that L
nave been able to obtain is a small
fund placed at the disposal of the
mayor. The combinations and ar
rangements of the departments in
cluded i'm this schedule differ so
much that but little use can be
made Of it In comparing one city
with another. But it will be of value
especially with reference to st. Paul
by showing, in considerable detail,
the cost Of several departments
about which but little is generally
known.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-09-29

tenant in 1853, the outbreak Of the
civil war found him captain of the
first artillery in 1861. He was in
active service in the West through
out the hostilities in 1864, and was a
brigadier general in command of the
Army of the Cumberland. During
reconstruction times, he was in COM
mand of the First military district
Estate of Virginia) for over a year,
and for ten months was secretary
of war, from June II, 1868, to March
IA, 1859, in which latter year he be-
came major general, and after COM
manding several of the army de-
partments, he became commander
Of the army, in 1888, upon the death
of Gen. Sheridan.
Gen. Schofield is the last of the
veterans of the war who commanded
an army who fought battle himself
as such, and the record of his active
service in the field is full of brilliant
achievements. But in addition to
those, he has accomplished in an
administrative way matters of such
substantial benefit to the army that
his reputation might safely rest alone
on them. First of all he has been an
artillery officer, and has held in view
the Importance of bringing this arm
OF the service up to perfection. AS
the senior member of the fortifica-
tions board since it's creation, he has
lost no opportunity to encourage in
vention and development of modern
ordnance and coast defense. He has
inaugurated system of higher edu-
cation among the younger officers Of
the ordnance and artillery branches
that has had remarkably successful
results. Young officers who showed
special aptitude in the schools have
been sent to the arsenals by his or
ders; lyceum instruction has been
afforded others, and a complete in
struction in special branches has
been given to non-commissioned Off
GERS and men by means of pamphlets
prepared under the direction of Gen.
Schofield by experts in each branch.
In the wider field of army reor-
ganization the general has played
an important part. He has for years
been an earnest advocate for the
three battalion organizations, and to
him is owing the adoption of the
policy of concentrating of troops in
the great railroad centers and on
exposed points of the coast, and the
abandonment of small posts. 1t is
also a notable fact that under his
of the army has come
an end of the Indian wars that have
ravaged the Western country since
its settlement, which may be, at
least in part, attributed to the skill
full handling of the troops, which has
made it manifest to even the Indians
that their struggle would be hope
less. In time of civil disturbances
the general has shown himself a |
most wise and discreet commander. |
He is largely responsible for the |!
construction of the posse |
comitatus laws, which have never |
been disturbed by the courts, and |
during the great labor strikes of |
last year it was his wisdom in the /
administration Of these laws that
