had returned to England there were
hints OF many very disagreeable things
that happened in Africa, some were
said to have been more than disagree
able, and Mr.. Bonny was frequently
urged TO write book telling what he
knew, but he resolutely refused to
write o. say anything. Such a book,
whether he had much or little or Moth
ing to divulge, would have had a
ready and large sale at the time. for
public opinion in England was very
hostile to Mr.. Stanley, because of the
treatment of Major Barttelot, and the
neglect to make any effort to forward
his body to England.
The fate of Mr. Bonny is a sad one
In the depths of the dark African for
ests he proved himself every inch a
man, and had he been given an op-
portunity he would have proved him
self a hero. The home secretary should
request of parliament pension for
him.

CoLoRED OFFICERS FOR COL
ORED SOLDIERS.

It is said that when the recruits I'M
der the second call are mustered in
the volunteer army will include be-
tween 5000 and 10000 negro soldiers. 1t
is the desire of the president that these
soldiers be differed with colored men.
Looked at in the abstract that seems
the proper thing to do, though it will
present some rather serious questions,
and the president recognizes this. The
question of officers messes is one of
these. That is one which the good
sense of the officers, white and black,
will arrange, but far more serious
one will be that of the relations of the
colored officers to the white soldiers
The soldier must pay respect to his
superior by saluting him and the like,
and the colored officer will have the
same rights and authority over the
white soldier that the white officer has.
The antipathy of the northern white
soldier for the colored officer will be
every bit as strong as that of the
southern white soldier.
At first it seems odd that the pro-
priety of offering negro regiments
with colored men was recognized in
the south and ignored in the north.
Thus at the recent New England Afro
American Baptist convention, held in
Brooklyn, the convention went on rec
ord as denouncing Governor Black of
New York for his refusal TO accept a
colored regiment of volunteers which
was offered by a delegation of colored
ministers, while congratulations were
sent by telegraph to the governors of
Virginia, North Carolina and Massa-
chusetts for giving colored officers to
colored regiments. The effect of APP
pointing colored officers for colored
regiments should be to give the SOL
diers an esprit de corps they would not
otherwise have. The policy is one of
justice and common sense, and should
be given a fair trial.

KANSAS CVERRUN WITH
TRAMPS.

Various towns in Kansas are overrun
with men who are out of employment,
but who refuse to work for the wages
offered them, which are from 81 to 50
a day. These men refuse work at big
wages because their manhood and dig
nifty forbid them to work for such sums,
but their manhood and dignity do not
forbid them to beg from door to door,
to be the recipients of charity when
the opportunity to earn their liveli-
hood presents itself.
If these buns and tramps, for such
they are, who are overrunning vari-
Gus Kansas towns. were offered work
at double the wages now offered them,
they wouldn't take it; what they want
is the 81 or SO for nothing, with their
board thrown in. If breathing were not
an involuntary operation, they would
be too lazy to breathe. They are sim
ply a curse to the country where they
light down, and they should be treated
as such When they land in town
and begin begging, while crops are
wasting in the fields for want of hands
to gather them, and the owners of the
crops are willing to pay high wages for
hands. they should be pOunced upon by
the officers of the town and driven be-
yond it's limits or marched off to the
rock pile. They are usually lazy, in
solent, law breaking crowd, who refuse
to earn their own living and insist on
sponging it off of honest folks. The
neonIe of Kansas should tell them to
move on. and see that they move.

Republicans are making heroic eff
forts to get away from the old issues
upon which they based promises they
cannot fulfill. They have dropped the
silver question for policy of conquest;
they have concluded to tear down the
Chinese wall of protection they spent
so many years in building, in order to
bring coolies into competition with
American labor. They seek to in
flame the people with tales of avarice
and conquest beyond the seas, since
their economic theories have been
proven false at home. sMcKinleyism and
Hannaism, frightened at the omens be-
fore them, are merging into imperial
ism, for self-protection.

A PARTY OF PIzARRoS.

President Mckinley, upon assuming
( his duties as communicated chief of the
army and navy of the United States
gave expression to this trite American
sentiment:
1--WE want no wars of conquest; we
must avoid the temptation of territorial
aggression
The same sentiment is embodied in
the declaration of war with Spain,
signed by the chief executive of this
government, the commander-in-c chief OF
the army and navy.
Since the time that declaration was
made nothing has occurred to change
the attitude of the United States to-
wards Spain; nothing has strengthened
our cause of action; nothing has hap
pened to increase our hostility or null
tiply our claims.
The developments of the war have
presented no excuse for departing from
the official pledge of President McKin-
ley, except the doubtful one of oppor-
tunity.
Some of the older powers with greater
candor and more experience, predicted
that the passion of conquest would
overcome the disinterestedness of mo-
tive with which we entered this con-
test, that our traditional policy of peace
would vanish in the first glare of temp
tation. But how Indignantly we all de-
MED it-administration organs and all!
We pointed to our national record for
a hundred years or more, reaffirmed
our unselfshness, and declared that
European powers were misjudging this
government by their own imperial
standard. But our protests were evil
IDENTIFY premature.
A new party has arisen in this repub-
lie, from the ruins of a fallen resolu-
ton; a party of conquest, which cannot
resist the temptation to appropriate
what opportunity permits and power
can take. And the president is SEEM
ingly with them.
1t is not a question of territorial ex-
pansion alone. To annex lands at the
wish of the owners. governmental and
individual, is very different from taking
the possessions of weaker nation by
force, and holding them, not as secur-
ity, but as plumber
No party advocating the doctrine that
might makes right" that power is
privileged to prey upon weakness. that
false pretenses are justifiable in inter-
national dealings, can hope to thrive in
a republic born in the throes of resist
ance to that idea, nurtured on the fruits
of national honesty and Justice strong
in the vigor of unsullied honor.
The president and this new party may
flourish in the excitement of war, but
when the reaction comes, as it certainly
will come, when the wave of impulse
and passion recedes, it will leave these
Pizarro partisans grounded on the
breach of the republic.

thinkable that he does not possess the
talents to earn the exalted rank for which
his friends are prematurely petitioning.
No friends had to lobby in Washington
to secure promotion for Dewey or Hob
son.
Louisville Courier Journal: We do not
know who is responsible for the great de-
lay in the movement of troops, but the
suoeriorS of those on whom the blame
rests are probably cognizant of it. There
is one thing, however. that the people do
know. They are quite well aware that a
number OF incompetent people have been
appointed to high positions for wholly in
sufficient reasons A great many have
been made officers because their fathers
or grandfathers held high rank in civil
or military life. Others have been ap-
pointed by reason of the Importantly of
politicians who have political debts to
pay, and are willing to pay them with the
blood of our gallant volunteers.
New York Times: 1t is quite possible
that when the president assented to these
indefensible appointments, he did not fully
realize what he was doing. But oues-
ton has now come up upon which there
can be no honest mistake The military
though it is a generation old. sufficed to
prevent him from making an honest mis-
take upon this question. 1t is the QueS-
ton whether the quota required of each
state, under the second levy and any SUBJ
Seouent levy, shall be filled by comDlet-
ing the regiments already in service TO
their maximum strength, and keeping
allowed TO be filled by forwarding other
skeleton regiments, incomplete in the
ranks. but furnished with a full line of
green and incompetent officers.

The Omaha exposition is fast falling
uDon evil days The Bee saws:

The Omaha exposition is fast falling
upon evil days. The Bee says:
Shall the management of the exposi-
ton be left in the hands of the board
chosen by the stockholders, or shall it
| be usurped by the courts? This queS-
ton is forcing itself upon the EXPOSE
ton by judicial interference that
threatens the great enterprise with a
state of anarchy.
With injunctions and counterinjunc-
tons and contempt proceedings that
not only tie the hands of the executive
officers of the exposition, but deprive
the exposition OF their services. to say
nothing of interfering with their per-
sonal freedom, the exposition is Sc
riously embarrassed and subjected to
irreparable loss. While it is true that
the law makes no distinctions between
individuals and corporations and is no
respecter of persons, it is a grave ques-
ton whether the powers of courts
should be arbitrarily exercised in this
way to harass and obstruct a great
public undertaking when all real griev-
ances can be remedied or adjusted by
the ordinary procedure of suits at law
for the recovery ofl.damageS for in
jufies actually suffered.
If the exposition is to be made sue
cess in any respect, the quarreling must
stop. the exposition got out of the
courts and the people into the exposi-
ton. If this is not done. only injury
will result to the exposition.

TWAS ALWAYS THUS.

An angler with a costly pole
Surmounted with silver reel
Carven in quaint poetic scroll
Jointed and tipped with finest steel
With yellow flies.
Whose scarlet eyes
And 1asper wings are fair TO see,
HES to the stream
Whose bubbles beam
Down murmuring eddies wild and free
And casts the line with Sportsmans pride
Where the fish meath the bushes glide.
A shock-haired boy, with birch wand
light.
Pronged somewhat like a fish's spine.
And on the end a bit of white
The common kind of grocers Irvine
With naught but great
Ground worms for bait
Tramps to the water full of glee;
His hat beneath.
Observe the wreath
or smiles most beautiful to see,
While he casts IN the srla sh- ng brook
A Bonded pin-his only hook.

Comes homeward full of airy grace
If rapture thrills the urchin's soul

FATE OF SERGEANT BoNNY.

The st. James Gazette says that Mr..
Bonny, the last surviving member of
! the Inflated rear column of Mr.. H. NJ
Stanley's expedition to relieve Emin
Pasha, is in the Fulham. workhouse
suffering from consumption.
The Gazette says that to the good
work he did, Mr.. Stanley has borne
ample testimony, and that on his re-
turn to England he received the di-
ploma of the Royal Geographical So
ciety. No reader of In Darkest AZ
anything like justice to Sergeant
Bonny, in fact, he cannot fail to be
impressed with the idea that he will
fully refused to. recognize his merits,
when by so doing he might possibly
have saved the Inflated rear column
He was the one man with that col
umn who knew precisely how to deal
with the Arabs. He had shown this
before Mr.. Stanley started forward,
and he should have been put in charge
of it. While it was civic expedition
and there were ostensibly no military
distinctions of rank, the fact is that
rank and not capacity determined
everything Bonny had been a SER
geant, while Barttelot had been a ma
jor. and Jameson had social position;
and Mr.. Stanley never once forgot or
ignored these distinctions. OF the
white men with the rear column Bonny
alone returned to England.
After he returned Mr.. Stanleys
treatment of him was anything but
generous was the very reverse, in
fact. He did receive a diploma from
the Royal Geographical society. but
not at the solicitation or with the aid
of Mr.. Stanley; the newspapers said it
was bestowed Notwithstanding Mr..
Stanley's opposition. After the surviv-
ing members of the Inflated expedition
