to our foreign relations, the plural idea

The Color Line I'm the Army.

The color line has shown itself in the
army several times since the war with
Spain began IL was noticeable at Tampa
where there was considerable friction pc
tween the~ shopkeepers and the coiored
soldiers of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry.
There was a small riot as the result OF
this i'll feeling. Several volunteer regi-
ments composed OF negroes have been or
eanized in different parts OF the country
and have encamped near white regiments
The white troops refused to salute the
negro officers of the colored regiments
when they met then. That also was the
cause of friction.
What caused the War Department more
trouble than anything else, however, IN
connection with the negro troops was the
refusal Of the men of the Second Texas
Regiment to receive their pay from Pay
master John II. Lynch. That regiment Is
i'm General Lees command at Jackson
Vile. Paymaster Lynch referred the mat
ter to General Lee, who advised that some
way be found to tide over the trouble.
He understood the prejudice which exist
ed among the Texans, and he felt, proba-
bly,. that a bad feeling might be created in
the CORDS Fl he adopted measures that
would bring the color question to the
front.
The matter was referred TO the War De-
partment, and the Texas regiment was al
lowed to wait for it's pay. But would 1t
not have been better for all parties con-
cerned IL the War Department had used
little Judgment in assigning the colored
paymasters to duty? There isn't an officer
in the War Department who doesn't know
Of the race prejudice i'm the South. Why
then, were not the negro paymasters as
signed to northern regiments instead
OF southern? Was ii because of lack OF
Judgment or was ii the intention to run
counter TO this prejudice? IL is hard TO
believe that any army officer Is so lacking
i'm good sense as to pursue course IN
army matters calculated to cause trou-
bic when trouble can be avoided. We must
conclude. therefore, that the negro pay
masters were sent to pay off southern reg
iments through a lack Of foresight. There
are very few negro paymasters, and 1t
would have been an easy matter to have
kept them engaged with northern regi-
ments If that course had been pursued,
the negro paymasters would have been
saved humiliation and the Texas soldiers
would have received their pay on time. Not
only that, but The color question would
not have been forced so prominently to
the front.

Another BeIligerent Bluf.
washington Post.)

tN dSnlnstOn IOStD
Report coming from Madrid via Lon
don that the Spanish peace commission
ers have been instructed TO fight for the
Philippines may be set down as another
Sagasta bluff, devised entirely for home
consumption. Spain's time TO fight for
the Philippines has expired, and finds her
very much in the situation of Mr.. James
Corbett, after he had been counted out at
Carson City. 1t will be remembered that,
en- recovering from the sleep-producing
punch in his solar-pleXus, the pompadour-
ed pug rushed back into the ring and
made wild demonstrations against the
freckled kangaroo. Mr.. Fit2simmons.
But the fight was over and it was only
beligerent bluff.
In talking fight there are always TWO
sides 10 the proposition; first, whom you
are going TO fight, and second, what you
are going 10 fight with. The former pro-
position is easier answered by Spain than
the latter. She finds herself face to face
with the American fleet and army Of oc-
cupatlon and the insurgent forces. either
OF which could wipe out the remnant of
her army in the Philippines. In fact.
only the restraint of the American forces
prevents the Filipinos from carrying out
what they consider an act of retribution.
Spain has no navy with which 10 send
another army TO Manila. and it is doubt
ful if she could raise and equip such an
army. In short, in the patois du pave,
Spain Is up against IL in the Philippines.
The only way she can recover any por-
ton Of the archipelago is by the gener-
osity of the United States, and even then
il is probable that we would have 10 en-
force her sovereignty by strength of our
arms, since the insurgents declare that
they will resist Spanish rule to the last.
Therefore 1t does not become Spain TO put
up belligerent bluff when she is plainly
i'm the attitude of beggar. Even II she be
permitted to retain a portion of her for
mer Oriental province. il will only be for
a brief time, since no nation can rule
what IL cannot hold 1t rests with the
United States TO reclaim the Philippines
or permit them to return to pristine bar
barism under Aguinaldo.

AMELIA, September 22.-(Special.)-
There was quite a gathering of people of
the county her to-day, considering this
is the time Of year when farmers are busy
with tobacco, fodder, etc.
After the large meeting of the citizens
of the county, and the officers of the
County Court and the members of the
bar, who passed resolutions OF honor of
and respect to the memory of Judge f. T..
Farrar late Judge Of our County Court.
a meeting of the Democrats was held In
the courthouse. and presided over by
Mr.. Robert G.. SOuthall
The Hon. II. II. Flood of Appomattox,
was the first speaker. He commenced by
advocating the election of the Hon. sgd
rey p. Epes, to Congress. He describ-
ed plainly the manner i'm which Mr. Epes.
had been so unjustly deprived of his seat
i'm the last Congress, and urged all good
citizens to aid in re-electing Mr. Epes,
and thereby return their own representa-
tive to the lower house of Congress, and
by so great a majority that even a Re
publican house would not dare disregard
the wishes Of this people. He next showed
the Importance of electing a Democratic
House Of Representatives this fall, as
most vital questions would be before Con-
gress for decisiOn-among them the ac-
qustion of new territory in the PHILIPPINE
Islands, and the matter of reducing the
taxes now so heavy upon our people. He
also discussed the tariff and currency
questions. His speech was a good one,
and well represented the Democratic par
ty as the party of the people, and opposed
TO trusts, mOnopolies, and combines. our
people were much pleased with Mr.. Flood
and the effort ne made on this occasion.
The Hon. Walter A. Watson, of Notta-
way county, next addressed the meeting
and presented the issue of the canvas in
a most pleasing manner, and delighted
all with his clearness and earnestness.

PTKIN. September 22.-An imperial edict
us, issued definitely announces that the
Emperor Of China has resigned his power
q. the Empress Oowager EmpressJ, who
ls ordered the ministers TO deliver TO
Der Zoo future their official reports.
It is difficult 20 obtain reliable informa-
ton 40 the palace in regard to the pro-
c.al.uc. but the recent reformatory edicts
probably caused the change.
While the Emperor was subservient and
mere fgurehead. the Dowager Empress
permitted him to remain in peace, but as
soon as he attempted to act on his own
initiative his practical deposition was the
result His principal adviser, Hang
Yumoi the Cantonese reformer, fed, in
spite Of vigorous attempts made to ar

factions of the Chinese are now impossi-
Die OF fulhlment
THE COUP" SUDDEN.
The suddenness of the coup" is said
10 be due to the desire of the Dowager
Empress to prevent the mission of the
Marquis Ito from being successful. The
japanese statesman recently came to
Pekin with the object of trying to bring
about an alliance. offensive and defensive,
between Japan and China.
The new order Of things will undOubted-
" prejudice British interests in China.
1t is reported to-day that the next edict
will give fun reasons for the change. The
wording of the present edict is not yet
obtainable but it is in effect that the
Emperor requested the Dowager Empress
10 assume power. this being the third
time tho request has been made.
ITO FEARED REACTION.
The Marquis Ito, i'm an interview before
the edict was issued, said the Emperor
received him yesterday in the most cor
dial manner. and said he hoped TO have
the advantage Of the advice Of the Mar
ouis in the reforms which his Majesty
intended TO undertake.
The Marquis even then feared that the
iuaction and conservatism of the Chinese
officials would nullify the reforms, al
though he believed the Emperor was act
ing in good faith.
