THE COLOR LINE IN THE ARMY.

The color line has shown itself in the
army several times since the war with
Spain began. 1t was noticeable at Tampa,
where there was considerable friction be-
tween the shopkeepers, and the colored
soldiers OF the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry.
There was small riot The result of this
ia feeling Several volunteer regiments
composed of negroes have been organized
in different parts of the country and have
encamped near white regiments. The
white troops refused TO salute the negro
officers of the colored regiments when
they met them. That also was the cause
of friction.
What caused the war department more
trouble than anything else, however, in
connection with the negro troops was the
refusal of the men of the Second Texas
Regiment to receive their pay from Pay
master John r. Lynch. That regiment is
in Gen. Lees command at Jacksonville.
Paymaster Lynch referred the matter to
Gen. Lee who advised that some way be
found to tide over the trouble. He under
stood the prejudice which existed among
the Texans and he felt, probably, that a
bad feeling might be created in the corps
If he adopted measures that would bring
the color question to the front.
The matter was referred to the war de
partment, and the Texas regiment was al
lowed to wait for its pay. But would ii not
have been better for all parties concerned
ii the war department had used little
judgment in assigning the colored paymas-
ters to duty? There isn't an officer in the
war department who doesn't know of the
race prejudice in the South. Why, then
were not the negro paymasters assigned
to Northern regiments instead of South
ern? Was it because of a lack of Judgment,
or was 1t the intention to run counter to
this prejudice? 1t is hard to believe that
any army officer is so lacking in good
sense as to pursue a course in army mat
ters calculated to cause trouble when trou-
BILE can be avoided. We must conclude
sent to pay off Southern regiments through
a lack of foresight. There are very few ne
gro paymasters and it would have been an
easy matter TO have kept them engaged
with Northern regiments. If that course
had been pursued the negro paymasters
would have been saved humiliation and the
Texas soldiers would have received their
pay on time. Not only that, but the color
question would not have been forced so
prominently to the front

l don't duplicate your shot I'll excuse
you from a camp guard FOR week
Brown, unobserved. tore two cartridges
and poured the charges of both into his
weapon, then dropped in the two balls,
point foremost and rammed them home.
Burt took the gun, squatted down, rested
his elbows on his knee and aimed long
and deliberately. When he pulled the trig-

When he opened his, eyes the company
