Why Negroes should Enlist.

To the Editor Of tic Ncus and Courier:
There is much speculation just now
among our people as to the part the
negro will play in the volunteer forces
called for, from the States, by the
President for the purpose of invading
and occupying Cuba.
While it has been sufficiently shown
that we have some among us who are
willing and ready to go to the front at
short notice, yet in the towns, villa
ges and rural districts they have little
or no intention of rendering their
services to their Government and
compulsory means would seem neces-
sary in the circumstances.
It seems to me that the American
negro has certainly q golden opportu-
ni:y in the pending crisis to establish
himself as a true and worthy Ameri-
can; a people who could, in after
years, point back with just pride and
say we have fought, bled and died for
our countTy's cause, aud, therefore,
have q just claim to our share Of the
laurcls 0 and protection given.
Our Congress conferred upon them
in the 18th, 14th and 18th Amend
ments Of our Constitution all they
wished f~ar-freedom, citizenship and
a voice in the aforementioned
rights.
Now, it remains with them. while a
page in the history of this great ma
ton is being written, to lay that his
toric foundation, that ever serves as q
monument of inspiration to succeed
ing generations, that their youth may
aspire to the highest pinnacle of re-
srect and knowledge among nations
and among people.
While some few have made for
themselves records as brave soldiers
they as a people have never had the
chance Of demonstrating to the world
that they will die as martyrs rather
than go down in the annals of history
as towards; therefore, I say, let their
leaders stir them up, that they may be
brought to q fuller realization of their
duty; that their patriotism may be
strengthened and their tagging yea
fired.
They, Of all people Of these United
| States, are the only ones, as l see it,
who, If they will only avail themselves
Of the opportunity afforded, are to be
benefited through the present conflict,
unless it be the capitalist and specu.
lator.
Not ouly are they to be benefited as
| a race who are striving to be the CO.
| equals of their fellow countrymen,
but from a financial standpoint I am
inclined to the opinion that it would
bo the most profitable expenditure Of
time and effort that it has ever been
thAo good fortune Of this coiored race
to participate in. Let us hope that
they will turn out to a man, ready and
willing to prove to the Spaniards that
| they are foemen worthy Of their steel.
