Place of the Negro

The disgraceful and fatal riot of colored
soldiers OF immune regiments at San Luis,
Cuba, will tend to strengthen the belief
that it is not wise to invest the negro with
power, either civil or military, until he ap-
preciates better than at present the re-
sponsibiites that attach to it. His record
in political affairs has shown that he has
not yet advanced beyond the primary in
stincts of barbarism with regard to the ad-
ministration of government. The negro has
his place in the scheme of civilization, but
it is not yet at the top. There would today
be no race prejudice and no talk of race
conflict but for the ill-advised policy which
has ignored all lessons of history and all
the suggestions of common sense.-Balti-

Storing Up Trouble

It has, until the advent of the present adj
ministratfon, always been the declared and
acknowledged policy Of our government to
keep out of foreign entanglements. But we
are now drifting into them with a ven
geance. The clear indications are that we
are about to become involved with foreign
powers in the assertion of rights we do not
attempt to concede to them. No doubt there
will be attempts to denounce as unpatriotic
all who do not agree with the administration
in its schemes OF seizing the Philippines.
But the sober sense of the country is OPP
posed to the seizure of the Philippines either
with or without war.-Columbus Free Press.

No Demand for Labor

What is to be done with the surplus of la

the progressive system OF consolidation that

this labor to find remunerative employment
in this country? 1t cannot be sent to the
farm, there is no demand for it there; it
cannot be sent to the workshop, they are
dscharging hands there for lack of work for
them to do; it cannot be sent to any of the

A Political Army

Under the strictest military discipline the
negroes ought to make serviceable soldiers,
but in political army, presided over by
such politicians as Secretary Alger and his
favorites. the negroes appear to be no better

army is the worst menace to the free insti-

Experiment Reserved for the South

To set black men over white men in the

to light a torch in powder mill. Yet in

antagonism, this would not be considered,
