the negro National Guards has been

District National Guards, asked Gen.
HarrIes to select some of his men.
but Gen Harries informed him that he
could not, but he would see the Pres
ident and ask him to give the author
ity to organize a colored regiment.
NO credence IS put in this statesment,
because the District has been given
great deal more than Its quote.
A maj ,rity of the colored National

Jewels of liberty placed in the families
of the Cubans.
The question is being asked, what
mart if any, should the negro of this
country take in the Spanish-American
war. By some it is argued that in
view Of the treatment that he receives
at the hands of this government, in
nermitting discriminating laws to be
passed by State Legislatures, against
HIM, and refusing to used the Federal
government, for the suppression Of
iyuch law and mob violence in the
state that he should be neutral in this
contest; that until these evils are rem
edied he should not go down into the
valley of death in defense of the gov
ernment and flag that hangs upon
the citidel of liberty, flag that has
thus far unfurled its stripes, but con-
cealed the promise of its stars.
Standing in this August presence
here in the capital of the nation as it
were, in the presence of the COM
mander-in- chief of the army and
navy, let the edict go forth to the
American people that we, as Afro
Americans are the representatives of
a race, whose devotion to and patriot
ism for their country knows no
bounds and whose chief aim in this
war; now as in all national struggles,
through which the country has gone
on its pathway to Glory is to save this
country, perpetuate the republic and
to place our civilization and national
honor on the firm, but solid foundation
of liberty, religion, morality and law.
This is cur country and our govern
ment, here we will live and here We
will die. We have purchased our right
to citizenship and all its amunities by
our blood sacrificed byGod himself and
while we treasure in our memory the
historic battle fields of Shiloh, of F ort
Pillow, of Look Out Mountain, and
hundred other battle fields of the
Republic, where our soldiers fell for
their country and their native land,
we will ever be true to our flag our
country and swear in the name Of our
dead heroes to protect it against any
foe, foreign or internal, who raises its
hand against her.
The Spanish-American war will
mark new era for the negro in our
national history. 1t is his opportunity
he who advises him otherwise is
traitor to the negroes best interest.
Let there be no backward step. This
is a fight for humanity and for liberty
and as Americans let there be no di-
vision among US, and when the war is
over, Cuba is saved, the wrongs per-
petrated upou us avenged and our
national honor vindicated, all of the

THE DISTRICT COMMIS-
SIONERS.

The Commissioners Of the Dis
trict of Columbia are very anxious
to place their appointments under
the civil service and for what nc
one knows but themselves. With
a colored population of $4,000 and
paying taxes on over $1100000O
worth of property, with two color
ed clerks employed under the Die
trlct government doesn't seem to
be fair to our people for the Presi-
dent TO place the District govern
ment employees under civil service.
The negroes are getting very tired
at their manner Of treatment un-
der the District government.
There are times in the history Of
people when their patience ceases
to be a virtue" We are not op-
posed to the appointment of DEM
ocrats to office under a republican
administration, since the gold dem
ocrats who assisted the republican
party to victory. We have had
and we have now some very fair
democrats in office and men who
are not inclined to discriminate
against the negro as some republi
cans have. We desire to ask the
President why il is, some colored
men are not appointed under the

For years warfare has been waged

that his treatment of them is worse

OUR NEW LEADERSHIP.

The election of President McKin-
ley, by the republican party, has
given to the American negro. a
new leadership. The definition of
leadership by negroes, means the
big negro, who holds the big posi-
tions. A man who is not a big
office holder, in the estimation Of
the negro, is not considered a lead
er A man with a constituency
behind him is not considered
leader, but local politician. This
is the definition Of leadership
among some colored people.
This administration has resur-
rected what is known as a new
negro leadership, known as office
holders and another class known
as would-be leaders, looking for an
office. This leadership is not differ.
ent from the old leadership and in
some instances worse. The old
leadership, with few exceptions,
would occasionally make break in
the interest of the race and assert
manhood. Nothing has been more
CALLING to the masses of the negroes
than the action Of the combination
of the old and new leadership some
few weeks ago, when 100000 of
negroes were given to the Pfesi-
dent soul and body. The only
difference between the old and new
leadership is, the former used to
give the entire negro vote to one
party, while the latter gives away
the entire people physically, with
out their consent or knowledge.
The old leadership always had
sense enough to believe that the
government had sufficient conf.
dence in its loyalty and patriotism
without having a self-constituted
committee to tell it.
