THE FACTS AS THEY
EIIST.
Regarding the Organization
and OfferCing a COlored
Company.

| Recently there has been a great deal
said in regard to the colored military
company or companies by parties who
| do not know the true facts in the mat
| ter, consequently those parties are
saying that the government is to blame
or that Congressman Hull is to blame,
or that the governor is to blame.
The truth Of the fact that we are col
ored companies We're not to have color
ed captains. was not the fault of Cong
essman Hull because he did not estab-
lish such erroneous rule OF racial dis
tinc,ion in the war department. 1t
wonld be preposterous to think or be-
leive that our honorable and highly es-
TEEN Congressman would tolerate such
ideas. and it is still worse to lay the
blame to our esteem governor Leslie
NJ Shaw because he has had no chance
to give us colored company much less
officers, for under the call we had 10
send our state guards which was four
regiments and by filling them up to
the maximum number, we then had
our porpotion of the volunteers raised
as state, hence the governor has not
been permitted to raise single new
company and of course we had no col
ored company that was member OF
the state militia. therefore we have no
reason to blame the governor or oven
mention his name in this controversy.
We do not blame Hull, Shaw nor Mr..
Brandt who recently received a commits
sion to organize colored company, as
even some narrow minded men thought |
Mr.. Brant was in it this is all nonsense.
The Brandts are true friends Of the |
colored race, no better white friends |
live to-day in Iowa then the Brandts, |
as they have thourghly demonstrated |
this fact in time gone by when it was
dangerous to speak as they did. if we
should be compel to go under a white
captain, we would prefer Mr.. Amos
Brandt for reasons other then military,
butt is the principal that we advocate
and the gross injustice done our race
by such a rule and we in our humble
outspoken way, with many other race
papers and able men tried to change the
rule and we have accomplish that object
though such true hard workers as
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana. Cong
ressman White of North Carolina and
Congressman Hull, so now when you
write or talk, do not blame any one,
but the war department for such a
rule.

Tears were shed without restraint. and

crowd, i'll giving his sweetheart more

after 1890 o'clock. and the other fol-
lowed fifteen minutes later. The big

There is neaaly 1,4OO men in Colonel

they are disciplined and drilled and
become acquainted with military tac-

The men are anxious to learn, and will
no doubt be apt pupils under the dircc-
tior of Lieutenant Colonel Eben Swift.

CHEERED BY WDS
Six Companies from Chicago
Will be Joined by Others
from Southern Points

Chicago sent her fifth regiment to
the war Thursday evening of last week.
Seven hundred men of Eight Illinois
infantry left for Springfield at 1890
o'clock. They will comsrise the great.
er part of the colored regiment to be
mustered in at Springfield within the
next two weeks. Decatur, Blooming
ton, Mound City, Cairo, Springfield,
Metropolis, and Lltchfeld will contri-
butte the remainder of the 1,oOO men
need to fill out the command.
The old Ninth battalion formed the
nucleus of the six companies that left
on that evening. Acting Major John
K. Marshall was in command. He took
with him full list of staff officers,
and will in all probability be given the
colonelcy Of the new regiment when it
is mustered in at Springfield.
Over 10000 people gave the boys glo-
rious send-off. Nor were they all COL
ored folks. The Ninth battalion arm
ory on Thirteenth street and Michigan
avenue was practically at standstill.
In and out of the armory the crowd
surged. Friends were bringing all
kinds of remembrances for the soldiers
good things to eat, blankets. shoes,
patching and mending outfts-every-
thing that soldier would be liable to
lose at the first opportunity, and many
things that he would not, were show
cred upon them.
Last Hour with friends.
Within the armory the companies
were formed by roll call and instruc-
ton given to assemble on call in their
various pasitions along Michigan aven-
ue and Thirteenth street. The men
were then allowed to spend the last
hour with their friends and relatives in
the crowd. 1t was insutferable warm,
but this had no effect on the high spir-
its of the men and their friends. They
laugh, sang, cheered, and toward the
last many of the women cried. The
showing made by the colored troops
was excellent. They looked like fgh-
ters, and showed by their manner that
they fully appreciated the duty they
were going to perform. One senti-
ment was universal among the men,
that they were being honored by Uncle
Sam in calling them into service.
Parade to the Depot.
When the time to start came several
South park policeman offered their ser
vices to Major Marshall to clear the
way to the Illinois Central Depot
