MISTER HoBsoN, U. s. N.

Mr.. Hobson, Mr.. Hobson,
You're a dandy. you're peach
And the biggest blooming pebble
That is shining on the beach.
You're a corl1er and a shorter,
And to you we all salaam,
You re the bird of Santiago
And the pride of Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Hobson, Mr.. Hobson.
You're a monument of sand,
Since you bottled up Ceryera,
Who is practically canned.
And you've rather made a monkey
OF Horatius, who of old
Held the bridge against all corners
AS by Macaulay told.
Mr.. Hobson, Mr.. Hobson,
In a fleeting moon or two
There'l be horses, yachts and collars
Named for triumph after you,
You'll be wildly sung and honoreds
You'll be patted on the back
If Briton you would surely
Be the Duke of MerFimac.
You will sail right on to glory
AS you sailed across the mines,
For your Spartan spunk already
On the lives of others shines.
AS a, hero you'll forever
Take the 'peacherino" yam
You're dandy and daisy
And the pride of Uncle Sam.

WHY HE DECLINED.
r. ". Turner's Position in Connection
With Co1ored Troops.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
I notice in today's Journal under the
head of "Colored Officers for Colored
Troops" the statement that 1.-The decision
of Governor Leedy to appoint colored Of
ficers put effectual check upon the am
bition of R. W. Turner, who had already
bought his uniform
1 have bought uniform, and in JUS
tice to Governor Leedy and myself let me
say that he yesterday wired me to come
to Topeka He then told me that he had
decided to commission colored men for all
staff appointments except lieutenant colo
mel, which he had rendered to me when
the second call was first made public, and
which tender he renewed today.
1 stated to the governor that since the
troops and all officers, STAFF and line, were
to be colored, that no good reason existed
for the exception in my favor and Sug-
gested to him not to make it.
L would like very much to command the
two battalionS of colored troops, but am
averse to being the sole cause of prevent
ing the colored soldiers of the state from
securing a complete organization of col
ored officers. Such is my position and no
other.
