Co10red Militia.

The Afro-Americans of New York
city have been protesting against the
conditions which have prevented their
proper representation in the volunteer
army now fighting the battles of the
country. It is to be presumed that this
sentiment is common in other states
among the colored citizens, and such pa
triotism is alike natural and gratifying.
Splendid volumes of courage and self
devotion are bound in black leather, and
our colored friends have shown it too
often to have the imprint mistaken.
But as Governor Black said, in answer
| to the complaint of the committee on
organization, he was compelled to draw
exclusively ON the national guard in an
swer to the presidents call. The fact is
! that. there are but few colored regiments
in the national guard throughout the
whole country. According to the gen.
eral logic of facts, this element in our
population is entitled to certain repre-
sentation in the militia. There is no
good reason why it should not have it.
White men certainly would not oppose
it to any considerable extent. AS citi-
zens they are entitled to bear armsS to
participate in the national defense, to
endure the tolls Of campaigning and to
lay down their lives if need be. It is
but common sense to give them the
chance to stop bullets as generously as
it is given to white men. With the third
call for volunteers their chance should
come. But as far as the militia problem
is concerned the deficiency is mainly
the result of the failure Of the colored
people to agitate the question with .reso-
lutte zeal in the past. Whatever the
prejudice or objection, which may have
existed, it has been allayed. Enthusi"
asm on the part of the would be soldiers
would finally work out to a favorable
end, even if it failed to be in time to
shoot Spaniards. r

OUR NAVY AS A TEACHER.

IL Has Shown the Way For Advanced
Naval Construction.
The record breaking run of the bat
tleship Oregon showed Russia that her
own naval architecture was not up to
date, and the builder of the Oregon is
now in St. Petersburg, by royal invita-.
tion, to discuss plans for revolutionizing
the Russian ships. The speed perform
ances Of the Brooklyn and the Oregon in
overhauling the Cristobal Colon empha
sized the Importance of high speed in
effective fighting ships. Japan is now
revising her plans and expects shortly
to have the fastest cruisers afoat. The
destruction Of Cervera's squadron has
doomed wood in the construction Of
warships. Italy has issued an order that
wood must not be used in several war
ships now in process of construction and
has suspended work upon them until
revised plans can be made.
England announces that henceforth
in the construction of her battleships
speed will not be sacrificed in order to
protect them with heavy armor. This
conclusion undoubtedly resulted from
the fact that the armor of Cervera g
ships furnished little protection, since
it was easily penetrated by inch and
inch shells. A cablegram says that the
new cruisers soon to be launched by
France will carry no guns Of extremely
large caliber, but will have an increased
number of rapid fire guns Of small d..
mansions. This is directly in line with
the recommendations of Dewey, Samp-
son and Schley.-Chicago Tilnes-Her-

The Paris Exposition.

There has been some resentment, and
naturally SO, caused by the petty hostil-
ity of the French press and consider
able section of the French people grow.
ing out of our war with Spain. Not a
few Of our hotheads have urged as a
proper act Of retaliation the withdraw
al of interest and cooperation in the
French exposition Of 1900, for which
the Gallo capital is making immense
preparations. This method of resent
ment would be quite as petty and child
ish as the disappearing grimaces of our
French friends Whatever feeling Of an
noyance we may have, such a course
would scarcely comport with American
dignity, which can we'll afford to be
serenely Indifferent to mere exhibitions
of spite. The obligation rests on US the
more as nowhere on the continent of
Europe is there probably any sincere
sympathy with us in view of inevitable
results. We are too big to acknowledg e
French antipathies with more than q
French shrug.
We have already mortgaged our own
action as respects the Paris exposition,
and other than an onward course, no
matter what our feeling might be, is
next to impracticable. AS a question Of
noblesse oblige it is important to re-
GALL that in all our own expositions
France has been our most varied, inter-
esting and prolific contributor: Those
artistic products which lend most at
tractive brilliancy to world show Of
industry are peculiarly the offspring of
French genius and taste, and they have
been lavishly given us. We can do lit
tie less than return good for present
evil, even if we regard the French peo-
pie as whole responsible and think
only Of the courtesies and comities of
the past. Frenchmen. who are sensitive
on the score Of vanity, will probably
feel the sting of chivalrous good nature
more acutely than pouting and ill hu-
NOR, and the next mood of the some
what capricious and irresponsible Gaul
is as likely as not to be one Of cordial
friendliness.
Much has already been done to insure
proper representation Of American
art and industry. Much remains to be
done. Amid all the absorption of the
government in war interests congress
should take prompt action to give our
would be exhibitors the amplest facii.
ties. To put action off to the last mo-
ment will greatly hamper it's efficiency.
Whatever is done should be put on a
plane beyond the suspicion Of mig
gardly purpose. 1t is mainly, too, for
our own benefit that we shall partici-
pate in this as in other world fairs of
the past. No finer test of the greatness
of nation can be found than in its
alert and comprehensive attention to all
the interests of peace in the very thick
and turmoil of active war.

Camp Life In Nutshell. =
j. H. B., a member of the Sixty.fifth
'giment at Camp Alger. sends home
le following rather amusing poetical
3itome of the experiences of the SOL
iers:
Singing ballads, playing cards,
Eating side meat, running guards,
Marching, drilling, exercising,
Lying round philosophizing,
Digging bitches, learning tactics,
Standing guard until your back aches.
Doing laundry, picking trash up,
Cleaning camp and dishing hash up.
Cooking pork and taking baths,,
Eating hard tack, cleaning paths.
Getting yellow as lanyard,
Wondering when Well meet the Span1ard,
Reading papers, reading books,
Fasting, grumbling, ''.sussing" cooks,
Writing letters, cleaning tents up,
In our trousers sewing rents up, ,.~
Drilling like old time cadets, -.
Smoking pipes and cigarettes,
Telling stories, making wishes, /: s
Splitting wood and washing dishes,
Turning in at sound Of ''taps,'
Spoutipg verse and shooting craps,
Getting up atsflve CLOCK,
Wanting fight and hearing talk,
Thinking that we're not in clover,
Wondering when the war'll be over. /.

spafn,s War Minister Says Havana
TTarbor Ts NffuodL


Madrid, April 12.-El Heraldo De
Madrid publishes an interview with
Admiral Beranger, former minister Of
marine, in the course Of which he exi
pressed his confidence in the ability Of
the Spanish navy to win in the event
of war with the United States.
There is no fear" said Admiral
Beranger, "of our Cuban ports being
exposed to night attack, inasmuch
as Havana, Cienfuegos, Nuevitas and
Santiago de Cuba are defended by elec-
trio and automatic torpedoes. with q
large radius Of action. They were
placed by order Of the late Senior Cam
ovas del Castillo and myself"
1t is said the United States minister.
General Stewart L. Woodford, leaves
Madrid today. 1t is further alleged
that he will be accompanied to the
frontier by an, escort Of gendarmes.
