There ars TWO words that should be
banished frum the American vocabulary.
and certainly from the vocabulary Of the
army-one Is "nigger" and the other
"dago." Our negro soldiers have won
respect for their generally inoffensivs and
well meaning race, who are entitled to
our consideration as in o certain sense
the wards of the nation that has given
them their freedom &c the cost Of bloody
war. We regret to observe the report that
comes from Cincinnati Of fracas be-
tween members Of the 3lst Infantry and
o negro, who Is reported to have given
offence by asserting his right to seat.
IL Is stated that the lieutenant who Is
responsible for the difficulty IL under
arrest. III there Is any truth In the news
paper reports Of the affair he saouid be
promptly tried by court martial and
taught that the business Of an officer Is
to preserve order and not to create preju.
dice against the service by an unnecessa-
ry and offensive assertion Of his personal
dignity. As for "dago,' It Is the express
sion OF the contempt ignorant and I'M
thinking men have for foreigners who are
trained in a different school from them
selves. IL is wholly out Of place under
our new conditions, and every officer
should exert hin sslf to see that the sensi-
bilitiss of those we must deal with in our
new possessions are not unnecessarily
wounded by insulting actions or eplthets
We should encourage la every way the
spirit of good fellowship between our
selves and the Spanish-American peoples,
which Is illustrated by letter appearing
in the New York Sun" from an officer
Of the Chilean army who declares that
Chile will never enter into the suggested
alliance against US. "Our obligations
to the Stars and Stripes" this officer say
ARE too many and do not think that
any one power in this world can say hon
estly that we are an ungratefui young
republic" Our army officers have
grand opportunity to encourage this spirit
of good will toward us, and they should
do all in their power 60 improve 1t.
