An object lesson showing the
splendors of an imperialistse
policy is being given the world,
and there is some prospect that
ere long England will fail to be
knowe as the land upon whose
possessions the sun does never
set. There is in this policy an
ever present tendency to war,
the equipping of vrst arma-
ments of sea and land, the sub
stitution of military for patriotic
ardor-and it's bad, bad, bad,
utterly UNANIMOUSLY, ruinously
bad. Boulder Camera.

THE NEGRO SOLDIER.
write omeers Accord MIN Praise 10,
His Services Durins the SPAN
ish.ARerioan War.

The colorcd troops enrolled in the reg
ular army in Cuba won the respect Of
all. The Twenty-fourth and Twenty
fifth infantry and the Ninth and Tenth
cavalry were not less brave nor less a
credit to the army in 1898 than the
rough riders, and well earned their
NEED of praise and honors, as the his
tory of the strife will record. The
Twenty-fourth charged up the hill at
Ell Caney in the open without the least
protection from the iron hailstorm that
fell on them. When the dread yellow
fever broke out and nurses were needed
this brave regiment was paraded by
companies, and, says the narrator:
The dreadful condition of the sick was
explained to them and they were told
that whoever would volunteer to do
nurse duty In the awful pesthole might
take one step forward. AT the signal
every man in the entire line advanced
a step forward" Maj. Marlsley wrote
OF them: "1he noncommissioned Off
cers and all do all kinds of duty. The
men are noble fellows; not one has
shirked." Gen. Lscum had indeedgood
reason to declare that he was proud of
his command.
At the close of the civil war President
lincoln snid: "All things considered.
they (the negro troops) have proved
themselves as good soldiers as any"
After the civil war a policy was adopted
Of having one-fifth of the standing army
of colored soldiers. While the behavior
of the regular colorcd troops has, 1t is
claimed, been equal to that of white
men in similar circumstances, serious
complaint has been justly made as to
the conduct OF some negro volunteeri
regiments quartered in the south. In
these cases the causes of the trouble
have been generally traced to the inefa-
cheney of the white volunteer officers
and to laxity Of discipline.
Tho young negro is ebullient and full
Of animal spirit and more mutinous
than the white man until thoroughly
disciplined. The discipline must not
be pcrfunctory or merely on parade,
but constant and educational. Aztec

master can be relied on, and under COM

schools and actual service, whom he re-
spects for soldierly as we'll as for moral
qualities, the negro Is faithful, brave
and enduring. Such are the men of the
Twenty fth infantry, among whom de
sertion from the ranks is almost un-
known. Their leader, Col. Burt, vet
eran of the civil war and of many an
Indian campaign, could boast of one of
the best disciplined commands in the
army. His rule was united with such
considerate' treatment Of his men that,
while he commanded n degree of re-
spect bordering on fear, he had strong
hold on their affections. 1t may be well
expected that the negro will continue to
add his quota to the army of the union,
and, as much of that army will serve
in the newly-acquired warm lands, the
proportion will not be less than it has
been since 1s67.-Jnmes Cleland IIamil-

LESSONS IN SHOOTING.
Soldier. Receive 1..truct,o. a. to
Gravity, Air Resistance and
other Points.

He is taught that the bullet travels
through the mir in u curved line, called
the trajectory, and that three forces
act upon it; first, the exploded charge.
tending to drive it forward in straight
line along the line of fire; second, the
force of gravity; and, third. the air re-
sistance. At 200 yards, owing to these
forces. the bullet. travelling ut the rate
of 1000 feet second, will have fallen
about two feet. In the excitement of
firing at close quarters the aim will in
variably be too high. 1t has been cal
culated that when the enemy approach
cs within $50 yards the soldiers will in
stinctively fire as much as two feet or
three feet above their heads. Now, it
has been found by experiment that the
fact Of fixing bayonets will cause the
bullet to drop distance of about ~,
feet in $50 yards, and, therefore, when
about this distance from the enemy SOL
diers are instructed to fix bayonets, in
order to counteract the excessive eleva-
ton of their aim.
The recruit learns that the mean ex.
treme range of the bullet is $500 yards,
and that the longest shot ever observed
was 3,760 yards. He is taught the pene-
trating power of his weapon, a subject
full Of interest. TO take one or two
examples, rammed earth gives less pro-
lection than loose; bullets easily find
their way through joints Of walls, while
concentrated fire of about $50 rounds
Mt 200 yards will breach a nine-inch
brick wall. Only experience can teach
soldier how much he must aim to the
right or left of his mark to counteract
the force of the wind. A side wind has
more effect on the flight of the bullet
than wind blowing directly toward
the firer. The soldier must learn the
habits of his rifle, since some shoot
higheS or lower than others. Every
rifle, like every marksman, has it's own
ividuality.-Pearson's Magazine.

They tell of wonderful new
variety Of corn which an Iowa
farmer has produced bv r.pentad
experiments, which will yield at
the rate Of $50 bushels t" t!,, acre.
1t is called the Garmyp corn, is
very white, produces from three
10 seven ears on the stalk, and
from 10 to 20stalks to ahill. while
in seeding but one grain of seed
is required tn each hill. The
corn branches out from the root
like winter wheat and grows from
10 to II feet high. The ears are
about nine inches long and quite
thick, the eraina or kernels being
very large and even. Only about
seventy-fve bushels of this varie-
ty has been procured this year
but this will he enough to aeed a
good sized field, and perhaps in
another the setd d will he plenty.
When this variety of corn comes
into general culture it will make
corn the cheapest feed that car
be obtained. Fremont Herald.
