Correspondence of the Record.
April 1.-THE fact that John McCrory
has the ferry privilege for the next three
years is Il sufficient guarantee that it will
be operated in a manner satisfactory to
the public. MeCrory well knows, fr"m
personal experience, the disagrceabl' fca-
lures TO which the public has been sub
jccted in the past two years, and the pub
lie will be benefited thereby. The ferry
is operated mainly for the convenience
of the public on this sidc and it should
be controlled by east-side parties. Mr. A.
able Emmons county man, has a half
interest in the lease, which is another
guarantee that it will be operated for the
convenience of the people instead of for
the convenience Of the ferryman....P Pos
sibly one of the taxpayers Of this district
thinks it an act of shrewdness or cunning
to give in but IL ,illlc Of his property for
taxation. 1t did work all right last year;
but Assessor Biddlecomb will not be
razzlc- -dazzled that way. There is just
so much money TO be raised for taxcs,
and, when one properly-ownc fails to
list all his taxable property, it makes the
tax SO much heavier for his neighbors. 80.

chance to cast suspicion on that official.
They claimed that he was the only man
who could or would have stolen the
money contained in the package. Post
master Cell is young man who in
worthy manner has struggled with other
pioneers in Emmons county to make an
honest living for himself and family
He is capable and upright. A registered
letter that was mailed years ago from a
postoffice of which he was an official
went astray-or, at least, two years after
ward, the man receiving it claimed there
was no money in it. The postoflice Off
Gals, with all the facts before them con-
cerning that matter, appointed Mr.. Cell
postmaster ut Willinmsport; and, us they
did that, the ordinary citizen was GER
tainly justified in believing that Mr.. Cell
had nothing to do with the alleged going
astray of that particular letter. But
when the Williamsport letter was taken
the old charge was worked over and the
finger OF suspicion was again pointed at
Mr.. Cell.
Those who know Mr. Cell are very glad
that the actual wrong-d deer in the matter
of this latest registered letter has been
discovered. Young Boutillicr who took
the package, belongs to a good family
and everybody regrets that he has de.
| parted from the path of rectitude.. But
the Pioneer is especially glad that Post
master Cell is cleared. We we're abso-
lucIy certain from the first that he was
wholly innocent, but tits gratifying that
there now rests absolutely no ground for
| suspicion, and that this young man, who
deserves the utmost success, and who
knows that his official acts have been
honest, is cleared from suspicion.

FOUNDER OF TIE RED CROSS.
A Swiss Gentleman Who Spent Il For
tune and a Lifetime to Estab-
lish This Movement.

To Mr.. Henri Dunant, Swiss gen
tleman, belongs the honor of inaugu-
rating this movement. Being in Italy
at the time of The battle of Solferino,
June "a, 1859, he visited the battlefield.
Appalled, by the needless and terrible
suffering, he remained many days, do
ing all in his power to relieve it. Dur
ing these terrible days Mr.. Dunant
conceived the idea of a system of or
ganized relief whereby aid could be
given under such circumstances. Re-
turning home he published little
book, called "Recoliections of Softer
ino" that aroused great interest. His
appeal touched a responsive chord in
all hearts. Being invited to address
the Geneva Society of Public Utility
on the subject, he unfolded to them his
plans. From that time forward he la
bored indefat1gaply to win adherents
to his cause, writing articles, deliver
ing addresses, travelling from place to
place, consulting officials high in au'
thority at the European courts.
BY the provision of the Red Cross
treaty surgeons, nurses, ambulance
trains and all hospital supplies are
considered neutral, provided they dis
play uniform badge and flag accom-
panied by their national flag.
In compliment to Mr.. Dunant and
the Swiss government the protective
sign and the flag agreed upon was a
red Greek cross on white ground
the reverse of the Swiss flag. Turkey
alone has objected to this. Her sol
diers, in their intense hatred of the
Christian symbol, refused to work un-
der banner with a red cross, and they
were allowed to use red crescent in
it's place.
Mr.. Dunant is now about ID years of
age. Having spent half his fortune in
esta blishing the Red Cross, and having
lost the other half in unfortunate
business ventures. he lived for many
years, poor and forgotten, in plain
district infrmary in Switzerland, of
which he himself was the founder.
Now, however, through the pensions
granted him by the dowager empress
of Russia and the federal council of
Switzerland, and the generous gifts of
money sent him by the citizens of
Stuttgart, Germany, he is spending a
peaceful old age in comfort and plenty

SENATOR BUTLER has introduced bill
in congress to pension confederate SOL

dent Mckinley said, In his Atlanta
speech, that the time bad come when
the nation should look after The graves
aud cemeteries Of the confederate dead
as it now looks after the national ceme-
teries. Mckinley is praised for his ut
teranees and Butler Is condemned for his
bill--a distinction without difference.
In fact we believe Senator Butler has the
best Of the two propositions. for bis bill
would furnish charitable relief to thou
sands Of suffering human beings who
could appreciate it, while the dead whom
Mckinley would look after will never
