No one doubts the sincerity OF Sena-
tor Hoar and some others In the posi-
ton they take regarding the Philippine
question. Many good men. men, high
In the esteem Of the nation, possess SIM
liar views. for great questions like these
Invariably have two sides, and honest
men differ. Those who remain stead
fast to their principles. do not deserve
captlous criticism. but should rather be
given credit FOR lofty motives But in
Senator Hoar's case 1t appears that this
veteran statesman has weakened some
what his influence for the stand he has
taken. In view Of recent events, by COM
pairing Aguinaldo. the treacherous
leader of the Filipino s. to Washington
and Bolivar, the great liberators, and
by describing him as possessing quail
ties of craftsmanship and patriotism.
There has been nothing in the career
of Agunaldo to entitle him to be placed
in such light before this country or
any other part Of the world. 1t is n
fact that has been clearly developed
that. to use the words OF the Cleveland
Leader in brief description of his
character. Aguinaldo Is a we'll educated
but unprincipled Malay. with all the
vindictiveness, and insincerity of his
race" Every act of this man has been
to prove his treachery to his own peo-
pie. 1t is 4 matter Of history that while
he was leading the Filipinos in rebellion
against Spanish authority he accepted
a bride from the Spanish government
and left them while he fled to the CONT
nent.
Our contemporary shows that. when
Dewey found him and took him back to
Manila, Aguinaldo was an exile, and he
pledged himself to be friendly to the
Americans and assist them. He even
declared that he desired annexation to
this country, or an American protector
ate-anything that meant relief from
Spanish oppression. Now. what was
the result? The very moment Spanish
sovereignty was destroyed and the
promised freedom was In sight then he
turned against this country, stirred up
his people by false claims. betrayed
them to their deaths, and proved him
self an unGrateful wretch. 1890 =
That such a creature as AguinaIdo,
able though he be. shrewd and tricky
that he ls. can be compared by an
American statesman TO Washington
and Bolivar, is one OF the remarkable
things Of the day.

Evolution of the Colorcd Soldier.

In the February number OF the North
American Review is an article OF In
tense interest on the Evolution Of the
Colorcd Soldier" II. is written by w.
Thornton Parker, Assistant Army Sur
geon of the United States army. DR..
Parker reviews the history of the at
tempt to make regular soldiers of the
freedmen Immediately after the civil
war, and how, as early as 1867, colored
regiments were organized to send to the
frontier in the west, to be stationed at
the forts in the great DESERTS" then oc-
cupied by the active and hostile In
dians.
At that time the advent OF the negro
soldier, who had just been freed from
slavery, astonishcd the white troops and
frontiermcn who looked upon them US
political deal. unexplained and unrea-
'sonablc." White officers were half
ashamed to command them. the white
soldiers felt insulted and the Indians
held them In contempt because they
could not scalp them. The matter was
serious. for the white soldiers refusing
to serve with them. openly mutinicd
and had TO be punished. 1t Is a long
story of mutiny and punishment until
finally compromise was reached.
Finally the colored troops were de-
tached from the command and sent to
New Mexico against powerful tribe
of mercilcss Apachcs. forever on the
warpath. 1T was enough TO sadden the
hearts OF the best white troops" said
DR.. Parker. "and 1t is no wonder that in
their undisciplincd state. the colored
troops themselves grew mutlnous, for
the location was in the very heart OF
the mountains. In n world hitherto lIn-
