THE OoLoRHD BOYS IN CAMP.

= like to see the soldiers
When they tramp, tramp, tramp,
And there's nothing more inspiring
Than the colored boys in camp.
They always look SO cheerful,
And they march with careless
grace,
And every colored soldier
Is q hero of his race.
When the eau TOT volunteers
Resched the Negroes eager ear,
be responded like hero
With a loud resonant cheer.
When the army went to Cuba
To set the Cubans free
The colored boys were fearless
And showed great gallautry.
5hey faced the Spanish bullets
Like heroes tried and true,
And gave q rousing cheer
For the red, white and blue.
In the thickest OF the battle,
When the fight was raging hot.
Not Negro soldier faltersd,
Each stood up to take his lot.
They fought with wondrous courage
Ard IN God they put their trust,
While they rescued the Rough Rid
6rs
Who seemed doomed to bite the
dust.
So when the boys come marching
home
All nail them with delight,
Give them a pig ovation
And be sure TO treat them right.
love to see them marching
And to hear their steady tramp,
And / think there's nothing grander
Than our colored boys in camp.

FROM THE WEST END.
Likes Our Editorisl-Nswsy Item

1t is with the greatest qualification
possible that we fully endorse the
splendid, timely and pointed editorial
the action OF Lieut.. Col. Croxton to-
wards the 9th Virginia Regiment, now
stationed at Knoxville, Tenn. We
hope every self-respeeting Negro in
Virginia will again take up the slogan,
mo oolored officers, no fight" and ask
that the 9Th Regiment be mustered
out OF service at once. These men re-
fused to enter the service until they
were given such officers as they really
desired. Now these same officers have
been forced to resign and their places
filed by white men who are not ac-
ceptRble to the privates. We hope that
each company will at once ask to be
mustered out of service, or give them
their choice of electing their own offic-
ers.
When color is between a white man
and dollar, with a wave Of his hand
as it were, he pushes color aside and
goes for the almighty dollar. We hope
every soldier in camp will remember
the condition under which he pledged
himself to enter the service, and do
not be afraid te let the Secretary OF
War know that they now, as heretofore
stand ready so redeem that pledge,
and without that pledge being respect
ed on the part of the general govern
ment they are now ready to leave the
service and insist upon their being
| mustered out.
The world knows that the Negro SOL
der is game and is ever ready to de-
fend bis country. Thank God our
record is made. 1t is written in let
tiers OF gold, firm and deep on the
heart of every true American, and the
future historian will surely inscribe
where the coming generation will run
and read with pleasure how we saved
the day for the United States.
Crox son has proven by his action, IL
he has proven any one thing more then
another. that he is Negro-hater, and
therefore, not suitable man to hold
such a responsible position over those
he has no care or respect for. We can
not accept of the sw mixture of the
| Colonel without our solemn protest
and do not hesitate for a moment to
say that Col. Croxton is not the white
man 10 trust the souls OF the eth Vir-
ginia Regiment with.
Let the people come together all
| over this State and condemn the ac-
| tion in no uncertain sound. Let every
man awake and be heard.

But May Refuse to Sign the Peace
Negotiations
London, Nov. 2.-The Paris CORE
spondent OF The Daily Telegraph says:
The disagreement between the
American and Spanish peace commits
sioners. which under ordinary circum-
stances might have caused alarm
throughout Europe. is hardly noticed,
owing to the Fashoda affair.
The Spaniards are in n position to
know and assert that their government
Will resist the American demands and
will offer the Philippines for a lump
sum. If this proposal is not accepted
Spain will recall her commissioners
and let the Yankees do what they
choose.
Il am assured, however, that a
rupture on Friday is improbable. Spain
will endeavor by arguments and ap-
peals to gain whatever concessions are
possible. but she will not risk a re-
newal of hostiiities."
The Daily Chronicle says editoriaHy
this morning: "A war in which the
justly vanquished nation receives a
solatium of $50. 900. 900 would be a
novelty so great that il must be seen
to be believed. In any case it would
be madness for Spain to attempt to
resume hostilities."
The Paris correspondent Of The
Times notices with pleasure the tact
that important French newspapers ad-
wise Spain not to count upon European
Intervention. and that ii is expedient
for her to yield, so as not to be ex-
posed TO the terrible consequences of a
bombardment OF the Spanish coasts.
