NEGROES AS SOLDIERS.

A special dispatch from Washington
says: Southern Senators and Representa-
tives are urginc Secretary Root to enlist
one or more negro regiments under the
latest call for volunteers 1t is claimed
that thousands of colored men through
the South are anxious to volunteer for
service either in the Philippines or the
W est Indies. The strongest pressure on
the Secretary of War in behalf of enlist
mentS of col"rcd Volunteers comes from
Florida and Georgia, ami il is said these
two States could furnish II, 10 DAYS
notice enough co!orcd troops to organize
L full regiments.
The proposition is being very vigorous
ly pressed by Col. John Y. Ryan, of Jack,
sonvillc, Fla, who says he proposes to
| remain in Washin gton until the President
| returns, when the subject V i'll he pre-
scented to Mr.. Mckinley in detail Col
number of Southern Congressman. in

Representative Livingston and Govcrno"
Gambler, of Georgia. He says there is II
strong sentiment all through the South in
favor of the enlistment of colored voiun-
tecrs because of their peculiar fitness fol
service in a warm climate, either in the
Philippines, Cuba or Porto Rico.
Thus far Secretary Root has declined
to commit himself on the subject further
| than to say that he is aware the c"'nrcd
| "rcgularS' make excellent snitilrIs. There
is. however. Il strong pre- uaice in the
War Department against the enlistment
of negro volunteers. 1t is alleged by
| those opposing the organization of negro
| regiments that the few reg ments raised
| in the early stages of the war with Spain
caused n great deal of trouble and fric-
| ion in consequence of the irrrprrssib''

ON NEW ISSUES ONLY.

EN Gov. Robert F. Patterson. who has
bility in 1900, has returned from the eX
tensive tour he has made to the West ant
Northwest to confer with various Demo
cratic leaders. He said:
II think when the Democratic mana
gers get down to business you will fine
they will take conservative action. Issues
which have been gone over and settled in
one campaign and have not been

ditions are not likely to be fought over
again. We can expect to win only on
new issues.
The people are too busy to stop tC

matters must be based on the coin OF

II found everywhere in the West un.
paralleled prosperity, not in manufac.
lures only, but in agricultural pursuits
Farmers are getting good prices for their
products. AS they constitute the great
mass of the voters of this country, they
form an important element, possibly the
most important in all political calcula
tions.
"No matter what was thought about it,
everybody knows the result. We are now
approaching another campaign, this time
with prosperity everywhere. l do not
think the farmers and wageworkers, with
wages increasing, orders coming in from
all over the world, and every workin gman
and every dollar of capital put to the
severest tension to keep up with the de.
mands of trade, will stop long to discuss
or even consider obsolete issues
Yes; you may call it expansion or inn
perialism. There are seventy-five mil
lions of people in this country to day. So

OUR FOREIGN OBLIGATIONS

When foreign affairs are under discus
sion, and we appear to be a little forget
full, we arc sometimes reminded of the OBJ
legations we are under to several foreign
powers. If we ever appear to forget them
we really never do. We are indebted in
several directions for very valuable serv-
ices at critical times in our history, and
it would speak little for us rs people if
we were ever to show q deadening of our
sense of remembrance and appreciation.
Our first obligation was to France. She
helped us set up shop for ourselves
Without her assistance we should I'M
doubtedly have had much harder and
longer struggle with England, and We
might have failed in the end. She was OF
most material aid. We have never cared
to consider the suggestion that she was
quite as glad to fight againt England as
for u.s. She fought for us, and that has
sufficcd to preserve the friendship SHE
then secured.
Our second obligation was to Russia
If France helped us to establish our gov.
eminent it was Russia who helped us tc
preserve it. The appearance of the Rus
sian fleet in New York harbor at a criti-
cal period for the Union during our civil
war was of very great service to the
Union cause. European Intervention hao
been threatened, and seemed on the eve
of taking place Our old enemy, Eng
land, and our old friend, France, hao
been consulting about recognizing the
southern confederacy, and had they done
that the danger to the Union would have
been enormously increased. But the
ears manifestation of friendship for Us
was pointedly significant, and 1t sobereo
up the whole of Europe on the subject OF
the American conflict.
Our third obligation was to England
When our difficulties with Spain became
acute, Europe was must unfriendly to us
Sentiment in France. Austria, Germany
and Italy was undissuisedly hostile. The
press expressed it, and all American
travellers in those countries had occasion
to remark it. Russia was silent. But
England our old enemy, stood up for us
She made her friendship open and con.
spicuous and we should have been
churls, indeed, if We had pot made, as we
did make. a hearty response to it, 1t
helped us We sailed in with all the
greater confidence because of it, and ex-
ecuted our task with precision and dis
patch.
We have had then Il friend indeed
whenever we have been in need. And VIC
are grateful But have we not always
deserved friend: Our cause was Just
when France helped us against England
1t was Just when Russia practically warn
ed Europe off in the time of the civil war
1t was just when, last year, England
warned Europe off in our war with Spain
No friend who has eyer helped us has had
occasion to regret the service rendered
France saw great republic established
Russia saw the great republic preserved
England saw the great republic exercise
its powers in the enterests of humanity
and civilization. We are the friend OF
all three and hope to remain So reservine
to ourselves the same liberty of action in
future matters which they have always
exercised toward Washing on Star.

SNAP CONVENTIONS POLITI.
CAL BLUNDERS.

| any considerable number of the
members of the Democratic national
committee are really considering the
propriety of calling the convention to
nominate candidates for President and
Vice President as carly as February
it can mean but one thing. says the
Philadelphia Times, and that is that
the friends of Bryan and free coinage
at the ratio Of 1G to l feel confident of
their present ability to control the con-
vention. and fear that the conditions
which may exist in June or July. the
months in which Presidential convcn-
tions are usually held. may not he so
favorable to their candidate and the
particular monetary theory to which
he clings as tcnaciously rs before it was
repudiatcd by an overwhelming major
ity of the American votes.
This view of the matter is COMES
so Of weakness on the part of the
Bryan wing of the party, and they
should promptly revise their intention.
If Bryan is the logical candidate of the
party he will be inst as strong in July
as in February Ii free coinage at the
ratio of Is to is cternally right, as
Bryan insists, the reasons for so dcclar-
ing will be just as strong and nnan-
swerable in midsummer as in midwin-
ter. If the policy of territorial expan-
sion is wrong and I'M Amcrican, the
lapse of an additional three or four
months will not make it less so. AS
to getting the party together after a
snap convention and the adoption Of a
platform once repudiated. we do not
believe this to he possible.
Snap State conventions. called II
mid-wintcr 10y political bosses who did
not want an untrammeled. po,.'i.,ar
expression at the primaries. have been
held in many States and by both OF
the leading political parties, but they
have usuallay caused resentment and
not infrequently party defeat. There
is nothing in State experience to en-.
courage the application of the snap
convention method to the holding of a
national convention. and it does not
require the gift Of prophecy to foresce
crushing defeat to the Democratic
candidates and platform if placed be
tore the voters by this method.
The wiscst policy for the Democra-
tic party will be to hold its convcn-
ton at the usual time, giving its mem
hers the advantage of all the know
ledge of events and conditions avail
able at that time to guide the choice of
candidates and in the adoption of a
platform of principles upon which to
wage the campaign. We think this
will be the wisest course for Mr..
Bryan and his friends. as we'll as for
the Democratic party at large. He can
hardly desire to encounter second
inevitable crushing defeat by forcing
his nomination in a snap convention
called to forcstall the possibility of the
nomination of airy other candidate.
The true policy for the Democrats is
to hold their convention in the usual
orderly way, leaving the delegates to
select candidates and frame a platform
according to the best political light
then attainable

mass meeting, with over 200 in attendance,
and Mr.. John :. ones, formei y Il member
of the State Legislature, called it to order.
Senator " ilkinson was made chairman
and upon assuming the duties of that office
explained that the purpose of the meeting
was to declare in favor of fair and honest
primary meetings, and rchuke dishonest
and disrcputablc methods. He then com
planned bitterly of the treatment he had
received at the hands of Congressman
Mudd and Mr.. Enoch b. Ahcll, who had
betrayed their agreement, entered into IN
1898 to have fair PRIMARIES He said that
hereafter he would make and keep his
own bargains, and he WAS present ut the
meeting to do it.
Resolutions were passed condtmning Tie
work of the Republican convention of st.
Mary'S county and accusing the county
central committee of dishonest methods.
Several paragraphs of the resolutions were
also directed against Mr. Joseph II, Ching
who was called upon to resign As clerk To
the Beard OF County Commissioners, in
view of the fact that he has been appointed
inspector of rural free delivery in the
State of Maryland, but wants to hold both
