lican administration or to sectional
feeling. The response to the call for
troops in the war with Spain was
prompt and hearty, and no objection
was made to serving under President
McKinley's banner. But the treat
ment which the Southern troops then
received was sufficient to cool their
ardor, and as they were ignored by
the Administration then, they are
not disposed to- volunteer their SER
vices again until there is pressing
need of them.
When the Administration was max
ing preparations to invade Cuba last
wear there were thousands Of South
ern troops available. These men,
being in a measure acclimated, would
have been more serviceable than
such regiments as the Serenty-tirst
New York or the Michigan volunteers.
They wele palpably ignored, how
ever, and the State troops which
were used to supplement the little
army of regulars were composed ex-
! clusively of Northern and Western
men. General Wheeler was given a
command, but he was subordinate to
general to whom he could have
taught the art of war, and whose
knowledge of military operations on
a large scale was exceedingly limited.
Fitzhugh Lee, whose service as Con-
sul-General at Havana had been of
the greatest value to the Govern
ment. was side-tracked and placed in
charge of camp of instruction, and
the South was not permitted to take
an active part in the war, despite the
fitness and eagerness OF Southern
troops to &c to the front. When
volunteers were sent to the Philip
| pines only one Southern regiment
was included in the list of organiza-
tions selected for service in the Far
East. The other regiments were
taken from Northern and Western
States. Under these circumstances
therefore, the charge of the Indian
apolis Sentinel. that the Administra
tion has waged sectional war, is not
without foundation.
When the Spanish army in Cub;
surrendered and an American arm,
OF occupation was sent to the island
the best-equipped man for the pos
of Military Governor of Cuba wa
Fitzhugh Lee. His knowledge of th'
, Cuban people and of the conditions
of the island was far greater than tha
of any other officer. But Lee was ;

mitted to figure too prominently be

fore the public. Again he was ..side-
tracked" and made Military Governor
of one Of the Cuban provinces, a
subordinate position, in which he has
been very effectually hid away from
the public gaze. 1t is true that about
this time President Mckinley made a
tour Of several States in the South
and spoke words of honeyed tlattery
to the Southern people, but the War
Department took particular pains to
keep Southern troops from the front
and offered no prominent post to any
Southern man. The North and the
West monopolized all the posts of
honor and their troops were assigned
to active service, when Southern
regiments were kept in camps of in
struction. This was enough to
dampen the enthusiasm of even the
most patriotic people, and the result
was what might have been expected.
Moreover, the South has received
scanty recognition in the appoint
ment of officers for the new volunteer
regiments. A few crusts in the shape
Of commissions in the lower grades
have been thrown to it, but in the
main it has Jared very badly.
Another consideration which cannot
be ignored from the Southern stand
point is the mystery which envelops
the object for which the war is being
waged. A war for Imperialism is as
unpopular in the South as it is in the
East. If it were simply question
of sustaining the Administration in a
just cause there would be no lack of
enthusiasm in any part of the coun-
try, and the Southern States would
give the Government all the volun-
teers that might be required. But in
view Of the conviction that the Ad-
ministration is conducting a war of
conquest and territorial aggrandize-
ment, not to uphold the national
honor, but to commit the country to
a dangerous policy in conflict with
our traditions and institutions, it is
no wonder that the South hesitates.

baltimore SUM-

The indianapolis Sentinel, comment
ing on Senator Foraker's declaration
that ''the war in the Philippines is
not popular war;" charges the ad-
ministration with discriminating
against the South and playing poll
tics. Ever since the brief brush in
Cuba" says the Sentinel, ''it looks
very much as if military operations
had been regarded not merely as
sectional matter, but as political
one as we'll. None but Republicans
have been put on guard, and the
troops have been sedulously drawn
from the North. In raising the new
regiments, instead of correcting what
must manifestly look like grave dis
elimination, the difference is empha-
sized by making the recruiting CEN
tres for every one of these regiments
in the North, so that it is practically
impossible for Southern men to be
in them. The Presidents policy is
wrong in this, and it is policy that
may come back to plague him."
The Sentinel might have added that
it has been shown very plainly of late
that Southern men are not anxious
to join the regiments which are be-
ing recruited for service in the Phil
ippines. The effort has been made
to enlist two regiments in Southern
States, but volunteers could not be
obtained in sufficient numbers to
complete these organizations. Prob
ably the President does not care to
risk another rebuff in that section,
and, therefore, will confine recruiting
hereafter to the North and West.
