The Spanish government issued q de-
cree at Madrid on the question OF priva-
teering. The government adopts priva-
teering In fact, but not in mama. The
royal decree asserts that Spain main

The decree gives American vessels in

TIE PROMOTION OF OOLORED Of
FIOERS.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has called upon
VIRGINIA to furnish her quota of troops
which is estimated TO be three regi-
ments. An interesting question has
been raised, owing to the presence in
the state of two colored battalions, the
First being commanded by Major ]. B.
JOHNSON of this city and the Second
by Major w. ii. JOHNSON of Petersburg,
Va.
An effort is being made to muster in
the men without the field and staff-of-
ficers.
The idea is to deprive them of the
honors to which they are justly emit
tied. Major j. B. JOHNSON out-ranks
his white fellow officers in point of ser
vice.
1t is now proposed to place IN charge
of these troops white officers and to
form q regiment with white colonel.
The cry should be: ''No officers. nc
fightp 1t is the duty of the national
government and especially of the state
military officials to form regiment il
this state and promote Major J. B
JOHNSON to the position OF Colonel.
6e is thoroughly competent and his
military abilities are conceded by al
who are in the least qualified to judge
Colored men must contend for theiI
rights NOW. or they will lose them here
after.

A FLORIDA OUTRAGE.

y The action of the white police officer
at Key West, Florida in ordering Ser
1eant WILLIAMS of the 25th United
States Infantry to put up his revolver
is without q parallel in the history of
any nation.
The attempt to arrest him. which
was finally successful and his assign
ment to a lookup" was an outrage,
the like of which we hope never to hear
of again.
The right to carry firearms is one
of the guaranteed provisions of
the Constitution OF the United States,
the only requirement being that they
shall not be concealed.
Uhis colored soldier is at Key West
for the purpose of defending the lives
and property of the citizens of Key
West. Florida.
We noted with undisguised admira-
ration and satisfaction the action of
the twenty-five colored soldiers who
repaired to. the City Hall and demand
ed the surrender of their officer at the
point of the bayonet, and gave the
sheriff lust five minutes in which to
comply with this demand.
It would have been far better to
have been sent to the guard-house than
to CUBA.
We trust to see colored men assert
their rights. If the government can
not protect it's troops against insult
and false imprisonment, let the troops
decline to protect the government
against insult and foreign invasion.
Itisap poor rule which does not work
both ways. If colored men cannot live
for their country, let white men die for

THE KIDNEYS.

Kidney troubles ere undoubtedly
the cause of more deaths than any 9TH
er disease, for the reason that their
approach is slow and gradual, and, as
a rule, unaccompanied by warning
symptoms. The Kidney relieves the
system of all poisonous material. and
discharge it through the urine. When
they become diseased the poison re-
mains in the blood, gradually increas-
ing in minute quantities until the sys-
tenn can no longer resist its effects.
The heart becomes affected, action
fails and dropsy appears. The nervous
system is poisoned and commissions are
followed by death.
The liver and kidneys act like drains
to collect and carry away waste and
worn out materials from the body. In
the spring the functions of these organs
are imperfectly performed, and the or.
gans become clogged by the waste
matters which are thus retained in tBe
system. That is why you are so weak
