CLARA BARTON THE TRUE LEADER.

The friends of Mrs. J. Addison Por-
ter, wife of the presidents secretary,
are Jealous in a movement to place her
at the head of the Red Cross Society
If Mrs. Porter's friends and Mrs.
Porter herself have any sense of the
fitness of things they will refrain from
any further activity in that direction.
Thre is at present, and should be until
her strength or life fails, but one wo-
man in the land who belongs at the
head of the Red Cross Society, Her
name is Clara Barton. The Red Cross
Society as it exists to-day, in all its
breath and beauty of character and re-
lief for suffering, is the work of that
noble lady. 1t was she who conceived
the extension of its functions in this
country so as to make it prompt and
effective helper whenever and where
ever great disasters, rendering relief to
large numbers of persons necessary,
occurred.
It was she who organized the move
ment and carried it forward to success.
1t has been under her direction that suf-
terers from the Charleston earthquake.
the Johnstown flood and even the far
away Armenian massacres have been
succored in their great distress by the
efforts of this great society.
The Red Cross without Clara Barton
while she is living and able to direct
its affairs would lose much of its hold
upon the interest and liberality of the
American people. Mrs. Porter and
many other ladies have rendered ad-
lnirable service during our midsummer
war with Spain by their active helpful
ness in attendance upon the sick and
wounded troops; but not one of them
has equalled the heroic ministry ot
Clara Burton or manifested anything
like the extraordinary organizing abil-
ity with which she is endowed.
1t is no time after such service fol
this splendid woman to learn that q
political movement has been started to
supplant her in favor of another, what
ever record in hospital service the lat
ter may have. 1t may be that Mrs.
Porter is unaware or, at least, that she
dissaproves of the ill-advised efforts Of
her friends in that direction. If so,
she should at the earliest opportunity
cause that fact to be known by them

Gov. Pingree, the workingmen's
friend of Detroit, Michigan, was unan-
imously nominated by the Republican
State Convention of Michigan for Gov
ernOr. He certainly has hold on the
people and can come nearer than any
other man to getting what he seeks
from the hands of the people Of his
State. He is manufacturer of shoes
and knows how to catch the popular
pulse. The next thing we will hear of
him running for Senator and then
President. He is ambitious and with
his energy and pocketbook can get
nearly what he may seek.

A CRITICAL Time.
During the Battle Of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers mt the Battle of SatiagO de
Cuba were aII Heroes. Their Heroic Eff
forts in Getting Ammunition and RatiOns
to the Front Saved the Day.
p. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: ''We all had diarrhga
in more OF less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see doc
tor, for it was 4 case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations,
but thanks Chamberlain Collie, Chol-
era and diarrhea Remedy, we were
able to keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, sincerely believe that
at one critical time this medicine was
the indirect saviour of our army, for if
the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way of get
ting supplies to the front. There were
no roads that wagon train could use
My comrade and myself had the good
fortune to lay in supply of this medi-
cine for our pack-train before we left
Tampa, and know in four cases it
absolutely saved life."

Bishop Leighton Coleman Episco-
paD, of Delaware, loves to go on pc
destrian trips dressed roughly. He is
now making such trip through West
Virginia and is having many strange
experiences and adventures. Several
times he has been taken for a tramp,
and good housewives have set their
dogs on him when he approached their
gates to purchase q glass of milk or
ask for a drink of water. On one of
his trips he was suspected by moon

their cabins until they were satisfied
he was not looking for stills.-N. Y

USE Of OPIUM IN AMERICA
OVER SIXTY TONS ANNUALLY
IMPORTED
The Reduction of Duty to So Pound
Said to Have Put an End to All
Smuggling.

The opium question is one which
other governments besides that of
Hawaii nave had TO deal with. In me
United States the question seems to
have been settled so far as it is
governmental one, by the reduction
of the duty to a point that makes all
smuggling Improbable.
The extent to which opium smoi<-
ing is practiced by the Chinese in tbs
country, says the San Francisco
Chronicle may be judged from the
fact that the importations of smpk-
ing opium at this port last year ag-
gregated 121. 401 pounds. The duty. at
ST a pound, amounted to $12S. 4OG. TIE
drug was in the form prepared ex-
clusively for smoking and not avail
able for any other uses. 1t comes in
rectangular tin boxes, not unlike
those, in which pepper and spices are
put up. each containing about half a
pound. SO prepared, opium is a semi
fluid. dark brown sticky substa ace.
resembling New Orleans molassrs IN
appearance.
Chauncey NJ. st. John. deputy sur
veyor of the port, says that on re
imports of this sort of opium at San
Francisco since January LIST last to
date duty has been paid to the total
amount of S146.341. This would rep
resent 24.390 pounds of the drug by
the steamship Gaelic, arriving from
China on the 13th of last month. the
opium imports amounts to 1889
pounds on which the duty paid was
$4,000. Not including this large
quantity. the smoking opium nov
in bonded warehouses here. On
which the duty of $121,s $50 has not
been collected, amounts to 2O,315
pounds.
1t is believed that opium smoking
has greatly decreased since the duty
was reduced from 50. the former rate
to the present rate of SO a pound. For
merly large quantities of smoking OPP
ium of an inferior quality were made
| in Victoria. b. c., and thence snug
| gled into the United States. The re-
| ducton of duty, while greatly lessen
ing the profit of smuggling. left TIN
| risk of seizure undimnshed. and
| this tended to discourage the Nictori-
an industry. which has practically
| been abandoned.
Very little smoking opium reache,
| the United States save that which
comes to this port from China. It is
all made in that country. The drug
for medicinal uses comes in its crude
form. from Turkey. \ little of this
raw opium is occasionally imported
by San Francisco dealers by way Of
New York. reaching this city by rail
The manufacture of smoking opiu':
in the United States has been greatly
checked. if not well nigh destroyed
by the imposition of an internal rev
enue tax of $40 pound. The tax. II
fact. was laid for the express purpos,
of discouraging the business.

Perhaps he goes off and forgets all

man, who may take heart again and
succeed He tells his wife she looks as
young as she did twenty years ago.

can see the lines and the gray hair, but
it makes her happy for weeks, and he

Oh, it's very much better all around
that We tell lies, more or less shaded
in hue, from those about newspaper
circulation to the loveliness of soci-
ety's favorites and the probity of city
officials; it's far better to keep on in
the old way. We all like people to say
nice things to us. OF course, it is
pleasanter if we are convinced they
are true and said with sincerity, but
rather than not hear them at all we
would prefer to have our friends draw
on their imaginations a trifle-of course
a wee bit would be enough-and say
them anyway, and after all it isn't
hard to say kind things to people if
you only think them, is the belief of
Saucy Bess.
