the prospect that the United States will
soon get out of The tripartite arrangement
respecting the Samoan Islands. 1t says:

enough indeed-and return to relations
OF the strictest formality with the pro-
viso that those relations shall be perma-
nently maintained, will be of itself royal
recompense for any ACCOMPLISHMENTS we
may have agreed TO make in Samoa. Mr..
Hay will have achieved in the single act
of releasing the United States from that
sinister and distasteful association an i'm
perishable claim to the esteem and graft
tude of the country"
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem.)
says: "In the South if the negro is re-
duced TO work of the lowest and severest
kind il is because he has failed to qualify
himself for more remUnerative employ
ment. There is no prejudice against ne
gro mechanics and artisans of any kind
and white labOrers rarely object to work
ing with them. as is constantly done in
the North. The only work the South is
unwilling for the negro to do is to make
and administer the laws, but because he
is excluded from this easy and profitable
employment it is held by Northern Phari-
sees that he is an extremely ill-used
man."

Captain Catlin, Of the Fifteenth
Minnesota Volunteers, has beer
explaining to his people at home
the riotious conduct of the regi.
ment while stationed at Augusta
He says:
"The basis of all the trouble
down there was the spirit of in.
tense and malignant hatred of the
Southerners for the Northern
troops. This was manifest on
every hand, and under the cir.
cumstances it required but little
to bring about q clash. The peo-
pie down there only cared for US
to the extent of getting our money,
and they were certainly much con-
cerned on that score. Our men
suffered insult on every turn. al
though they conducted themselves
decently and orderly at all times.
Often / heard our soldiers COM

the South, and it was little won.

Der was killed in cold blood, that
it was with difficulty that they
could be restrained from rising in
mutiny, especially when they learn

and refused to arrest the murder

Cstlin is cheap and psltry liar
and We are confident that thou
sands of volunteers from the North
who were encsmped in the South
during the war with Spain will so
testify. The disorderly conduct
OF the Fifteenth Minnesota regi-
nent at Augusta was the work of |
the hoodlum element it contained, |
and was not provoked by sectional
feeling, which 10 as dead as dried |

and Southern troops who were
thrown together in the several |
camps of concentration. The fra
terial feeling between the volun-
teers from the North and South |
was especially marked in the Sc
Venth Army Corps while at Savan-
nah and Jacksonville. The men
Of the Second Louisians became
