The colored man has won . new respect
for his raes BY his courage in the trenches,
From biz lips fill no complaints through
ont the campaign, and b acted ~ II the
best blood Of Virginia o. Massachusetts,
were in his veins. Colsnsl Turner has
said that the Cuban campaign was tho
pothsosis of the Negro. We have slmi-
alas testimony from Shaiter. Wheeler, and
Roosevelt. II was q coloIed regiment

IAN this should have the effect of sof-
tening the harsh eatment generally
melted out to the Negro and Of bringing
forward new champions in his behalf, but
judging from the past this is not TO be ex-
pected. At the recent peace jubilee only
one speaker referred to the wrongs Of the
Negro. and he himself was Negro
Booker r. Washington. 1t will emily bs
by constant vigilance on the part Of his
friends that the Negro will not be alto
gsther overlooked. In the face Of the new
era Of fraternity which has dswned tbs
rsosnt startling facts Of history show that
our vaunted humanity Is mere shadow
and . name. The properly Of colorsd
people in North and South Carolina has
been destroyed. men and women have
been driven from their homes, and MUIR
ders have been committed. The more the
story ID read. tho worse it appears.
