AN EXTRAORDINARY SUGGESTIONS
s.. Much comment has been aroused
throughout the country by the Juror
following the proposed admission of a
colored youth as cadet in the Annap-
oils naval academy. 1t is understood
that the unpleasant experiences of that
representative Of his race who entered
West Point some time ago will be re-
peated in his case. We have heard a
good deal of what has been said on
both sides, but it remains for a Re-
publican newspaper, counting itself the
champion Of the freedman, and loving
every opportunity to preach a crusade
against the peace and prosperity OF
the South, to suggest that the difficulty
should be met by ian additional mill
tary and naval school exclusively for
the benefit of our aspiring cell
ored population" That is to
say, because there are few
prigs at West Point and Annapolis who
choose to draw the color line, the Unit
ed States government should recognize
it and confirm It, at the cost of Great
ing two more expensive institutions to
prepare young colored men for the
army and the navy.
II there could be proposition more
insulting to the race, more plainly sub
versive Of the theory Of equal civil
rights, we cannot imagine what 1t is.

vided with some equality between the

She had discovered what was going on
and had armed herself with garden hoe,

COLORED MILITARY AND NAVAL
SCHOOLS.

The rene we'd discussion of the "colored
cadet" problem, CROWN 6 out ofthe sue.
cess Of a bright colored youth in a COM
petitive examination for nomination to
the Annapolis naval academy, suggests
tbs query wheather it would not be best
to settle thu question of the rights OF
such youths once for all by establishing
an additional military and naval school
exclusively for the benefit OF our aspiring
colored population. Condemn, as we NAV
the prejudice Of the great majority OF
whites against mingling socially with the
colored race, as being baseless unfounded
and unjust, the existence and intra ctable
persistence of that prejudice is fact
which must be faced and the best inter-
eets of the col, red people would doubt
less be suhserved by recognizing and
treating with it as fact which canno
be set aside ty statue.
1t will require many years for the white
race to outgrow antipathies largely due
to the caste feeling engendered by slav
cry. The ablest representatives of the
-colored race, like Booker T Washington.
while claiming equality of opportunity in
every respect, no longer advocate the
social commingling of the races, and that
this is the best thing for the colored peo.
pie IN the existing coalition of public
sentiment there can be no doubt. Eouali
ty Of opportunity is plainly not afforded
to the colored man under the existing
condition Of things ut either the West
Point military academy or at the Ann
apolis naval school. The laws permit no
discrimination against him, but discrimi
mated against he is, law or no law by the
race prejudice which dominates the con.
duct of the white cadets. and which no
lecturing and no punishment has been

A LITTLE THIN

The Cubans are black negroes, not all
of them. but negroes and crosses of that
race with the SpaniardS, whish consti-
tute the majority. Freedom is none the
less dear and desirable on that account.
The negro, in fact, as shown by expert
ence and observation, especially de-
lights in freedom. Whether it is because
he was once a slave or is inherent we
do not know We only note the fact,
in which connection we also note that
the ex-slave owner of the south, or his
brigadier representative in congress, is
the most vehement in his demand that
the United States shall recognize the
belligerent rights of these Cubans, or
otherwise their independence. So en-
phatic are these Southern Democrats in
their demand, they would go to any
length, even to the embroiling of the
United Sta tes in war with Spain, to Sc
cure it. For that matter, the Eagle is
with these Southern Democratic briSa-
diers in their demand, but not for the
Same reason. These old-time Democrat
ic lovers q of the negro race are for
Cuba principally because they have
concluded that the Republican party
under Mckinley does not propose to re-
sort TO drastic measures. That's one
reason for this unwonted show OF patr1-
otism in the direction of the freedom Of
an ignorant and oppressed people. An
other reason, an ulterior one, is the fact
that in the event of Cuba falling into
the possession of the United States,
which it inevitably would in case Of
war, there would be a couple of south
ern states added, in the near future, TO
the Union. In this view of the case the
observation of DIR. Samuel Johnson
that patriotism is often the last resort
of the scOundrel'' might be appropriate
~ quoted. In this connection also we
will cite the New York Tribune, which
calls attention 10 the operations of the
KIu KluX Klan, the shotgun, the bull
whip, and other Democratic political
agencies which terroriZed the black peO-
pie of the south for years, and 10 the
iynchinSs which are now dfsgracing the
southern states, and asks why the
Southern Democrats do not try to inau-
gurate reform at home before they
seek to free the people of Cuba from
Spain's tyranny. 1t also asks why the
Southern Democrats are so sympathetic
for the blacks of Cuba, when they have
done nothing for years but heap cruelty

AS A POLITICAL PARTY.

The Grange in becoming a political
organization was squeezed to death.
The Alliance took up politics as its
leading element and fiunked. In Kan
sas it defeated Ingalls,, and then be-
came PopuEstic, and the Pops in turn
have fallen into the control of the old
Democratic party. completely so, even
as TO its national nominations. The
American Federation of Labor has now
decided TO attempt to win out through
politics. President Gompers openly
avows that 10 be the determination Of
the order. At least he says over bis
own signature that the purpose of the
organization is 20 elect its friends and
to defeat its enemies. He may, however.
not mean by this that a new political
organization will be attempted. but only
that the organization will by some
method determine. as between candi-
dates without regard to party. In any
event the idea is to make the American
Federation of Labor political machine
and factor. This we believe to be mis-
take. but time viii tell The fact of the
determination TO 90 into politics either
as q new party or as a present organi-
zation means, as estimated by past ex-
periences that the American Federation
Of Labor will, through the ambition Of
leaders, divide and go to pieces.

Johnny BULLS DILEMMA

Englishmen no longer fight England's
hartles. The army occupying Egypt
and now marching up the Nile, leaving
ITS trail of blood behind, is not made I'D

quarter of the globe are not manned by
the sci0ns of Johnny Bull They are

around England once gloried in giving

now given and taken by the fellows

natives Of India, which England rules
with their queen, who for this nation is
designated as "the Empress" The Ger
man army is made up Of Germans. the
Russian army of natives of the empire.
And now that it looks as if these two
last named powers are about To play the
British role in China, England becomes
very uneasy. There are 400.oO0O00

THE PULL AND THE PUSH.

The average American citizen must
often wonder what will be the ultimat-
um of representative rule. its limitations
as to added expense and assumed pre-
negatives. Each succeeding decade re-
cords newly acquired powers and newly
assumed responsibilities and rights, by
officials, under the constitution. and all
eItailinS added expense. This is true
of national and state governments. but
especially so Of municipal officials. 1t
has come 10 that pass that franchises
are granted in secret session, rs are
things entertained and discussed which
the people would not brook. The "se-
cret session idea grew out of the exec
utive session of the United States sen
ate. we presume. which is behind clos
ed doors. because it has only 10 do with
executive and not public matters. There
IL nor can be any such thing under the
constitution as 4 secret legislative ses-
sion by a civil council or any other
body. Il is f1agrant arrogation and an
outrageous assumption. Almost every
day the printed statement of some city
council having gone into secret session
is seen. The idea of Representatives of
the people discharSing public duty be
hind locked doors. Every such circum-
stance means chicanery if not down
right dishonesty. But this indefensible
rule, out of which grow extravacaucies,
IS becoming i recognized right
Municipal rule IS becoming synonym
Gus with corruption. The outrages per-
petrated against taxpayers by muDici-
pal administrations in free America
