the merits of a gun that they
were handling when, in some un-

was discharged, Courtney falling
to the floor corpse and Andrus
perfectly wild with grief.

A Timely Protest.

At the recent meeting of the
Louisiana Press Association in
Shreveport Il resolution was in.
troduced condemning in strong
language and protesting emphat-
lcally against the commissioning
OF negroes as officers in the Uni.
ted States Army, and ordering q
copy to be sent each to President
Mckinley and Secretary Alger of
the War Department. The reso-
luton had only one dissenting
voice.
It cannot se unknown to the
entire people of this widely ex-
tended country that negroes
should not be thrust upon caucas-
lans rs social equals, and far less
as superiors. We fully recognize
the necessity of military disci-
pline. Have served in the ranks
ourself, but there is an amour
propre inherent to every self-res-
pecting white man, which tells
him, God made him the superior
Of all other races Of men. Just
as he made the eagle superior to
the sparrow and the buzzard.
While all have equal rights
under His divine law, to the
enjoyment of the air we inhaIe,
the Ii ght we 90 blythe water we
drink; the rightfuI dominion of
the mind of, the Caucasian, its
power to direct, rule and govern
along the higher planes of all hui
man existence, stands, as legibly
in our opinion, and as palpabIy
before lis, as if printed in suns
across the arch of the heavens.
Eternity cannot efface the fact.
We recognize the manhood of the
colored man, and would not dare
deny him his reasonable rights in
any sphere of usefulness or enjoy
ment. We regard him as an en-
inently useful creation, but to en-
deavor to foist him above the
sphere in which God placed him,
or force the Caucasian to under
value his own relative superiority,
Is beyond the power of govern
ment to accomplish.
We are not of those who object
to the enlistment of colored men
in our armies. We. believe he,
like ourself, whilst enjoying his
civil rights as man, is under obli-
cations to the government to per-
form co-existing duties. But
whilst freely and cheerfully ac-
cording the one, let us direct the
performance of the other.
The white man is the rightful
Governor, a black, the recipient
Of the benefits Of his domination. |
Organize colored troops, as many
as exigencies may require, but by
Ill means, and for every good |
place him under the di-
rection of white officers where his
possible usefulness may be bene-
icially utilized in securing the
oerpetuation of the country $ well |
fare and shining glory.

Those who observed proceedings
IN the district court this week
were impressed with the great inn
provements made in the juiciary
system in the trial of criminal
cases and the great saving in costs
to the parish is gratifying to the
taxpayers. The cost of the July
criminal term of court in Iber-
vile in the past has generally ex-
ceeded $4,000; this term the parish
exchequer will probably not be
drawn on for more than 800.
But the economical feature is
not the only good one. By the
speedy trial of all misdemeanor
cases by the jupge, miscarriages of
justice never occur, thus creating
a respect and fear of the law on
the part of petty criminals.-Iber-
vile South.
