Southern Negroes Wanted.
Washington Special.


1t is positively known to be the Pres
ident's desire to make use of the services
of a large number of negroes. Under the
call first issued he obtained only one COM
pany from Massachusetts and three from
Ohio-both Northern States. What he would
like would be to draw upon the great mass
of sturdy, muscular Southern ueld hands
men who have spent their lives in the
marshes and river bottoms and thrived on
it, and whose power to work hard under a
fierce sun and to inhale miaSmatic air with
out injury especially fits them for service
in Cuba. 1t is not expected 10 make them
of much use in the aggressive campaigning,
but for garrison service, to follow the adj
vance body, and occupy and defend the cap
tured points, it is considered by military eX-
perts that they would be simply invalua-
BILE.
The difficulty about enlisting the Southern
negroes lies in the survival of a race feel
ing which has thus far prevented the Gov
errors of the Southern States from encour-
aging negro enlistment and appointing ne
gro officers. Unfortunately, there is moth
ing in the volunteer act which authorizes
the President to designate specifically the
which he most desires in a body of volun-
teers mustered under a call, and 1t is con-
sidered very unwiSe to cOmplcate the rela-

A PERSISTENT FALsEHOOD.
Mr.. Cleveland Deserves No Credit for
Building Up the Navy.

Washington Post.
We find in an esteemed Southern exchange
the following reiteration of an oft-exploded
"a Washington correspondent we'll says:
We need more navy than we have. The
new navy" as it is styled, dates from 1885,
when the Democrats started to build 1T.
The work has been going on steadily since,
but from this time on it must go on faster,
until the United States shall be. a naval
power second to none in the world.
What a persistent thing. is nonsense!
The new navy does not date from 1885,
when the Democrats started to. build 1t.
No Washington correspondent with scrap
of information or the slightest desire to dis
ment as the above. The new navy was
begun. not in 1885, but during the Arthur
administration, when Hon. William E.
Chandler, of New Hampshire, was secretary
of the navy. Appropriations for number
of modern cruisers were made before Mr..
Clevelands term began, and when Secre-
tary Whitney assumed his portfolio he
found his work cut out for him and nothing
to do but follow an excellent, ready-made
example.
Just why this ridiculous misstatement is
Kept in such active circulation it is difficult
to conjecture. No good can come of the
hood. Not even the most insignificant parti-
san end can be served in such q way. The
navy belongs to all of us 1t is our COM
mon pride and property. If it's creation was
conceived and inaugurated by a Republican
administration, 1t is none the less a ma
tional affair in which Republicans and DEM
ocratS are equally concerned, and to which
the whole people have contributed according
to their means. This is no time for stupid
partisan squabbling over the credit attach
ing to the initiative step. The Republicans,
who really deserve the credit are saving
nothing about it. Surely the Democrats,
who are not entitled to that credit, can af-
ford to discountenance these groundless
claims

HOW TO LIVE IN CUBA.
Yellow Fever Need Not Alarm the
Man Who Takes Care of Himself.

Cuban Correspondence in Leslie's Weekly.
An ordinarily healthy man who takes the
proper precautions and adjusts his life to
the demands OF the tropics may be as safe
among the hills Of Cuba as he would be
while camping out in some summering place
Of our own country. No such comforting
things can be said concerning the Cuban
seaport towns, where a generally wretched
sanitary condition and unhealthy water sup
ply combine to make even the briefest So
1ourn there perilous undertaking for the
foreigner.
The same is true of certain marshy regions
like the dire Cienaga Zapata, between Ha-
notorious as death trap for all who ven
tured near 1t. The best way for North
erner to prepare for possible campaign
in Cuba is to keep himself In good condition
by healthy mode of life some time before
reaching the West Indies, so that he may
attacks which might otherwise undermine
his health and render him an easy prey for
yellow fever or any other malignant dis
to pass through. Rich food and stimulants
should be avoided, and all possible allow
ances to the climate should be made in the
way of light clothing, absolute rest after
meals and during the heat of day. and no
unnecessary exposure to the chilly night
dew of the tropics.
the Cuban natives should serve as model.
In Cuba nobody thinks of going about dur
ing the heat of the day, between the hours
of 10 or II in the forenoon and OF. in the
afternoon. With the exception of the in
surgents, who cannot always choose their
mode Of life, all natives avoid exposure to
the chills of night; and even the insurgents,
as I found during my recent trip through
Cuba, put up huts or use abandoned houses
wherever they can possibly do so.
During the rainy season care should be
taken to have such clothes as will stand
sudden and thorough drenchings and which
will dry readily when once the rainfall has
ceased. Light linen, cotton or crash suits
are therefore preferable to wool or flannel,
and canvas shoes are to be preferred to
stiff leather boots. For headgear nothing is
so good as straw hat or panama helmet
similar to those worn by the British troops
in East India.

Marks preceptor: my son. you have got
to learn 1t, or you will never be able to use
your rife. You will get it by degrees.
Private Blank is in the next bunk. Go to
him and let him overlook every time you
tilt latch or turn lever Little by little
you Will learn 1t all, but If you are not
careful you Will have your piece unservice-
able before you are aware of 1t.
Then comes the training in the gallery at
close range, the grip of the piece, the pull
on the trigger, the proper time and degree
of expension of the lungs, the proper ex-
piration, etc.
And after that comes estimating distances,
the theory of the course of the projectile
through the air, the elevation required for
certain distances. The. recruit is taught
that the expulsion of the bullet from the
barrel gives it that eccentric movement
called drift" and that the air gives it an
other movement called windage; that at
mospheric conditions often carry with them
optical illusions, so that while the target
appears to be in certain place it is in
reality several feet distant, and in order to
shoot well he has to estimate these inf1u-
ences separately and In combination in
every variation of light and wind.
BY continued application he masters point
after point until what first appears to be
tangled mass now proves to be a pleasing
study, and then he thinks he knows it all,
but he doesn't.
Thus it is seen that every experienced SOL
der in the army is an expert, a capable
teacher, whose services are needed so much.

Indiana's Outlook for Fruit.

q bulletin on the fruit prospects in Indiana
In which it says:
GAS a result of the cold weather during

of the fruit would be seriously injured. es-
pecially in the southern counties of the
State, as the peach trees and Japan plums
were then in full bloom. In order 10 deter
mine as accurately as possible the extent Of
injury, a large number of postal cards with
printed questions thereon, were sent to
Farmers and fruit growers in every county
in the State. with request that they report
al once the true condition of the fruit buds
and the prospect for a crop of the leading
orchard fruits. Seventy-five counties have
been heard from, and the answers have been
tabulated.
Twenty -four counties report the prospect
for apples good, forty-two only fair, and
nine poor.
The only counties reporting poor pros

of a great man, crony of the President or

leave the routine work to subordinates. In
war it imposes the labors of a Hercules,
ordinates must be worked like galley slaves,
too. Stanton had the physique OF a giant
and devouring passion for work, but the

lamentably. He spent all his Titanic
strength in unremitting labor barely, to
moving and to prevent it from breaking
down. The very force and weight of the
man ground away points of friction and
overcame obstruction, compelled order and
enforced the untiring and unrest1ng action
which is another name for war.
Without such civil head war breaks

NEWSPAPERS IN RUSSIA.
Col. Holloway Finds in Them Few
Characteristics of American Press.

In a private letter from Colonel W. r.
Holloway, United States consul general to
st. Petersburg, to a newspaper friend in
Indianapolis. he says: Papers here have
small circulation, and tell you frankly that
they will insert your advertisements as soon
as they can find m for it, which is never
the same days often three or four days
later. If it is a cath notice they will insert
1t next day as a special favor. They say
advertisements do not pay, and that they
don't want them, and will only insert so
many columns in any one issue. All ads
must be submitted to the censor. There is
but one telegraph censor for all Russia, and
specials for. all parts of the empire must
come here before they can be sent to the
paper to which they are addressed. There
is no afternoon paper here, and the morning
papers are not delivered until between and
IL a. m. The telegraph service is meager,
and we have to guess at most of the war
tions.'
Colonel Holloway says he is very pleas
antly situated, and is much better pleased
customed surroundings.
