CoIored Soldiers.

That there is an army of about 25,-
600 men IN the United States and that
a private soldier receives $l3 per
month is about all the information the
average citizen possesses on the sub
ject. Why any sane man of average
strength of mind and body should
voluntarily deprive himself of the
privilege of quitting his job at mo-
ment's notice is another mystery. The
greater number of military posts are
located in the far West, each location
being selected as a central point for
troops in case of Indian outbreaks.
Thus, to the present generation,
private soldier in uniform is almost a
curiosity, and a cololed cavalryman
is as great a curiosity as an Indian in
war paint. There are 2,400 colored
troops in the United States in the
regular army. Of this number SIX
troops are located in Northwestern
Nebraska, at Fort Robinson. Here is
found the colored cavalryman in all
his element. AS each troop has sixty
men, the $50 cavalrymen located here
at Fort Robinson make it the largest
cavalry post in the United States. Not
a white man is to be seen, except the
commanding officers. Here Is prac-
teal demonstration of how a colored
man can be trained and disciplined
into doing work with the same energy
and promptness as white soldier, and,
when it comes to the test, showing
the same bravery and endurance. This
was shown by the 90-mlle ride OF the
famous Seventh during the Indian war
at Pine Ridge agency in 1890, when
they came to the rescue of a company
of white soldiers who were surrounded
and in danger of being cut off by the
Indians. These colored cavalrymen
can not only do the work when it
comes to the trial, but have happy
faculty of keeping in good humor, al
ways laughing and chattering and as
happy as children. That the life OF a
colored trooper is satisfactory is EVIL
denced by the fact that fully one-half
re-enlist after their first three years
enlistment expires.
Many people have the impression
that when a man fails in everything
else he can at least assure himself that
he may join the United States army
as a last resort to keep alive. But
the requirements are such that but
few applicants successfully pass the
examination. The candidate must be
unmarried, between the ages of q
and 80, possess fair education, pass
strict physical examination and
bring recommendations as to his moral
character. During July the Chicago
recruiting station accepted only 43O
applications out of 1868 candidates
who were willing to share the lot of a
private soldier. The army is no longer
place of refuge where man who
has lost all hope and ambition may
bury himself from the rest Of the
world, The private who is ambitious
has future here as well as in any
other occupation, for promotions are
made from the ranks. In July of each
year competitive examinations are
held. Those who successfully pass
the examinations are placed on the
list for promotions. Should colored
man who desires to enter the cavalry
successfully pass the examinations at
recruiting station, he would be as
signed to one of the cavalry posts in
the West.-LndiGaapOIs Journal.

nication. which was adopted at meeting
held yesterday and which bears the sigma
lures of Auditor Broderick, City and
County Attorney Creswell, Surveyor Til
ton and Tax Collector Block, is as follows:
1t is not our intention or desire to shirk or
avoid any responsibilities or the performance
of any duty which the law may impose upon
us; but for reasons patent to all who are fa-
miliar with the facts this commission ought
not to embrace such persons as have other
official duties to perform, which duties are espe-
cially onerous at the very times when the com
mission demands their closest attention, par
ticularly SO in the cases OF the Tax Collector
and the Auditor, nor is 1t delicate or proper
that those who hold Office or who may be can
didates for office at the election during which
they offlciate as most important factors should
be placed in the position OF being either justly
or uni silly accused OF influencing the results
of such election.
