The Post says it is now conceded
on all sides that the placing of the
ballot in the hands of the negro
was grave mistake. Anent which
the Evening Star says: "The col
ored troops have done great deal
to remove any lingering suspicious
that the Fifteenth Amendment
needed further vindieaton."

THE COLORED SOLDIER.

The Washington Post is author
itv for the statement that a New
York war correspondent is now
located at Santiago editing the
Times. through which he informs
a benighted world in English,
Spanish and Choctaw that the
colored volunteers, now doing gar
rison duty at Santiago, are not as
well disciplined as the Gath and
25th colored regulars
Why who said they were Not
only are they not the equal of the
colored regulars but will venture
the statement that there is not a
white. volunteer regiment IN the
Uuited States which will begin to
compare with the colored regulars
and how the Post reaches the de-
duction that, because of this dis
parity in discipline between the
colored regulars and the cOlored
volunteers, the negro does not
make good soldier when officered
by men of his own race, is more
human ingenuity can discover.
If the editor of Santiago Times
will deputize the editor of the Post
to examine the files of the War
Department, he will find that the
9Th Illinois Infantry (colored) took
the place of white volunteer regi-
ment, the latter being ordered out
of Santiago for conduct un5ecom-
ing civilized men.
1t was said of these white SOL
diers land by the way they hail
from the South) that the virtue
of woren and little girls was
not safe while they were in Santi-
ago. Gen. Shafter ordered them
miles away iato the hills. But we
need not 60 to Santiago for evil
dences Of crime and debauchery
among the white volunteer soldiers.
The Post, if 1t would dare to
publish the facts gathered from in
and around Chickamauga by its
own correspondents, telling of the
dastardly outrages committed upon
white women by the white volu-
teers gathered there, would have
to enlargen its space. But by
doing this the Post would curtall
It's subscription list.
1t could not afford that. 1t is
more profitable to turn the atten-
ton of the public away from the
henious acts of the white volun-
teers and pander to southern preju-
dice by editorial diatribes against
the celored volunteers. This is a
profitable field and the editor of
the Post is working it to death.
Will the Santiago Times man
and the Post inform us who officer
ed the list New York when
they were lying PROSTATE before
FL Caney and were being walked
oyer by the cololed and white
regulars?
1t is patent to every one who will
take pains to read history that
volunteers, uutil they have become
seasoned, do not make as good
soldiers to white and this applies
to white and black men alike.
Had the 71st New York the same
rough experience, the training in
campaign and camp life their
record would not have been marred
by the sad incident at Ell Caney.
We say sad because we have no
doubt that the boys of this regi-
ment were just as manly, just as
brave, just as patriotic as any who
fought In that battle.

Don't fail to remember the fact
that Spaniard will be accorded
more rights in the United States
than any colored soldier who saved

but forgets to state that he ranks
from a private to a general.

He Played the Bagpipe.

A fine looking Scotohman came
here last night from somewhere
and put up at the Huckins house,
and this morning he dressed him
self up in Scottish attire,saus pants.
and with a bagpipe paraded the
principal streets. He had a half
dozen coons encased in cardboard
boxes on which was printed Eat
Scotch Oats" trailing behind him,
The procession attracted a great
deal of attention and many were
the boys who fell in behind to hear
the music of Scotland's national
instrument, the bagpipe. The
reporter followed a half dozen
blocks himself to see what manner
of air the Scotchman had caught
on to, and from the best he could
make of it was a few bars of Don
ny Brook Fair, sandwltched in
with, "Oh I'm a Rolhckiug Sailor
Boy" 1t was a medley that made
our whiskers stand on end. Mr..
Scotchman had on nice suit and
it was attention he was after, he
certainly got it, and when we eat
