May akppoint a Negro Cadet.

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Sun says: "There
is much apprehension among
army officers stationed at the War
Department that another negro
may beaa9pointed to West Point.
Recalling previous trouble, tho
prospect Of the cadet corps being
again distinguished by a black face
is not at all pleasant. George FL.
White, a colored member of Con-
gress from North Carolina, has
been notified that he will have a
vacancy at the Military Academy
by the graduation of q cadet from
his district, June, 1893, but, as
the law provides that candidates
must be designated one year in
advance, White must name hir
boy before the end of May. The
authorities are fearful that he
will follow the practice of other
colored members of Congress who
have had vacancies to the Govern.
ment schools, and appoint a boy
of their own race, and if White
does this without leaving the Sc
lection to competition, army mel
say it will defeat him in his dis
trict, as white Republicans woult
rebel against such action. White
it is expected, will probably ap
point a colored boy straight, Will
another cclQred lad as alternate

alternate may take the examina

ated from West Point. Two hav

And we bury our treasures there;
There are broHs of beauty and bosoms

There are heaps of dust-oh. we loved

There are fragments of songs that no.

There are parts of an infants prayer,
There's lutte unswept and harp with

There are broken VOWS and pieces OF

And the garments our dead used to

There are hands that are waved when the

By the ftfu1 mirage is lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear through the tur-

The reports that heavy with
drawals of Spanish troops from
Cuba are soon to take place seem
to be trustworthy. If Spain is
forced to take such action it can
only mean that it's bankrupt treas
ury will not allow it to carry
out its plans in Cuba. The Gu
bans have attempted to force
such Withdrawals by wearing out
the patience and the resources of
the long over-burdened Spanish
taxpayer. The chances of doing
this are in their favor, and every
withdrawal of Spanish forces will
be accepted as an evidence of pa.

Buried Alive.

There is regular crusade going
on in the different countries of
Europe against hasty burials of
those supposed to be dead. Scien-
tific men and women of high
standing are studying every phase
OF the subject of suspended ami
nation and making the results Of
their investigation known to the
people, says the ST. Louis Repub-
lie. 1t appears from the express
slons of those engaged in this
laudable effort that there is only
one sure and positive test of death
and that Is decomposition Of the
tissues of the flesh. All other
tests, SO it is claimed, prove moth
and are, therefore, absolutely use
less.
Seven or eight years ago DR..
Tanner IAN investigator and ex-
perimenter of highest rank, al
though known to people in general
only as "Tanner, the faster") at
tempted to inaugurate crusade
in this country similar to that
which is now on in Europe. He
| first made the matter a serious
study, during the first four months
of the year, 1879, and found that
during those seventeen weeks there
were not less than twenty-five
cases in the United States of sus.
pended animation. Tanner ar.
gued that the stoppage of heart
; pulsations and of the breath were
of themselves no indication thu
actual death had taken place. HI
declared thatit WAS impossible t.
tell when persons we're so consti
tuted as to be liable to fall into
trance and remain in that stat
for weeks or even months. On
{ of the most remarkable stories re
lated by the doctor was this:
II have a case in nay min
where the body of young ma

l years had elapsed it became nee

Z order to make some repair.

Our good friends, the Populists

Our good friends, the Populists,
whose sincere love for each other
has been the cause of admiration
from all outsiders, are now at outs
with each other as we'll as are the
wicked and quarrelsome Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. An ele-
ment of the Populists, the enid
die of the roaders," have called a
convention to meet in Nashville,
Tenn, on July 4th. This idea
does not meet the approval of Sen
ator Butler, chairman of the ma
tional committee and he declares
that if the party, or any part of it,
meets at the time proposed he will
not be present. Mr. Butler further
says that any Populist who does
attend defes the regular organiza-
ton Of the party. This shows
that our friends are not as closely
snnited as they once were and that
the great brotherly love they have
expressed for one another is be-
coming badly strained.

Outrageous Tariff Bill.

Post is amusing itself no little by
a daily consideration of the Nc
Kinley-Dingley robber monster.
1t IS exhibiting its funny as we'll
as curious features. It is very
ridiculous thing throughout, and
when the Senate gets through with
it it, will be as ragged as "Old
Rips coat was after his twenty
years snooze in the Catskill
mountains, The Post shows its
curloslties in out of the way places
that but few could explore and
not many would consider. For
instance, it takes crude barytes
and shows the foolishness of the
scheme of the bill. 1t also con-
siders copperas, collodion, etc.
Wherever critically examined the
folly and stupidity of the robbery
are uncovered. The effect of the
bill before it becomes law is to
cause stagnation in woolens.
