Editor The COlored American: so
much has been said about the re In.
statement of Lieutenant Flipper until
his name mas become household word
with all race race loving Afro Amerl
cans. But why should the leading men
of our race continue to remain on their
knees, begging President Mckinley
and Congress to re instate Lieutenant
Flipper when it seem TO be part of
their "pIsin duty" to ignore the wishes
of all Negroes?
1t was the color OF Lieutenant Flip
per's skin that played the greater part
in getting him out and the color of his
skin only is going to keep him out.
Being out of the army Lieut.. Flip
per Is in position to do the race much
good. Would not be a good move II
the leaders OF the race would get to-
getber and form some plan to Use
Lieutenant FiippeI? He knows much
that the young men of the oolored
race should know; and he should be
employed to teach them. Why not add
to one of our e0lIsges-say Livingstone
or Wilberforce-a military school to
train our young men in the science of
wat?
The doors Of West Point are closed
against the young men of our race,
and the thing for the Negro to do Is TO
start West Point OF his own and put
Lieutenant FlippeF In charge Of 1t.
Lieutenant Flipper is graduate, am
Inf0rmed, of West Point, and is fully
capable Of managing @ school of this
kind During the war with Spain a
number of colored men applied for po-
sitions as colonies, captains, lteuten-
ants, etc, but the Administration had
the proud excuse Of turning them down
on the ground that they hadn't the
proper training to lead men against the
enemy. That was all true enough, bat
how can the colored men, who are just
as true to "Old GIOry' a. the white
men, ever be capable OF leading troops
against she enemy when the Govern
ment, through prejudice, has closed
the doors of it's military schools against
them? Not only should the Negro feel
proud of starting a West Point for the
Negro, but such step should meet the
approval OF every true American and
have the liberal support of the general
government. We love TO join with the
white man In singing:
"My country, tits OF thee,
Sweet land of liberty" etc.
And to show that we mean no fsllacy
in singing that sweet old song, we
want to help defend the stars and
stripes. We defended her even when
we. ourselves, were bound in fetters
and chains. Now let us start q mill
tary school so that while the West
Point schools at New York and Anna
polls, Md, are sending out their 60
liaths Of war, the Afro-American west
Point will be able to send cut her
little Davids to meet them. See?
Thousands would take advantage OF
such q school. Start the ball, editors
of the coIored journals and don't let II
stop until Lieutenant FlippeR VIII De

he will not have time to serve Uncle

SIMMONS SHOULD BE SENATOR.
His Pre-Eminent Party Services and
Eminent Fitness Combined Mark
Him as the han.

Hon. +. NJ. Simmons pre-eminent
services to the Democratic party of
North Carolina. coupled with his
ability, mark him as the man for
United States Senator. Drawing a
contrast between him and tho other
gentlemen in the race. the Statesville
Mascot says:
General Julian 5. Carr, ex-senator
Jarvis and ex-Congressman Naddell,
are all men whose abilities and ser
vices to the Democratic party make
them worthy Of the Senatorship, but
in recent wears Mr.. Simmons has been
pre-eminent in the services he has
rendered to North Carolina and the
Democratic party. In the dark days
Of the beginning Of the campaign Of
1898. when well-informed men of all
parties felt that Democratic success
was impossible. it was Simmons who
planned the Democratic campaign
and executed it with wisdom and
courage never equaled in all our
political history. Under his leader
ship a magnificent victory was snatch
ed from seeming certain defeat. and
the constitutional amendment and
permanent white supremacy, so re-
Gently secured, were made possible.
With conceded ability and loyalty to
the principles Of the party, pre-emi-
nent services to the State and the
party and a peculiar fitness for the
place, Mr.. Simmons deserves the
Senatorship. From talks with many
OF the leading Democrats OF North
| Carolina and noting the position OF
the newspapers of the State, it is our
| opinion that Simmons will be nomi-
mated in the primary on November
9Th, by a very large ma jority over
all his opponents. The people have
already picked out the man who de-
serves to be Senator and Simmons is
| the man. The people vote on this
question and he will be elected

DON'T DO 1T.

Some ugly things are being said

ought not to be indulged in or tole-
rated for one moment Such pro-
cedure can result in no possible good
to the man whose interest it is thus
sought to promote. while it must be
hurtful to the Democratic party. We
have an abiding faith in the Justice
and judgment Of the people Of North
CraOlina and we do not believe they
will pass by unchallenged and unre-
buked any in Justice or unfair meas
ure against one worthy Democrat to
promote the cause Of another Demo-
crat I'VE be brethren and the cam
paign should be waged upon 4 high

wounds to heal. no hard things to

1t has gone out that the Republic
cans are already at work irving to
formulate some plan whereby they
may fabricate charges against Hon.
+ Nj. Simmons which will prevent
him from serving in the United States
Senate as Buffers successor. should
he be elected. They will try to show.
it is said. that Mr.. Simmons carried
the August election in this State BY
fraud. They will never show it. 1t
Is only trumped up affair to try to
intimidate Mr.. Simmons but it does
seem that the Republican party in
North Carolina has had experience
enough with Mr.. Simmons TO know
by this time that he is not one of the
kind TO be intimidated He is one of
the bravest and most fearless men in
the State. whether applying it politi-
cally or personally; and nothing the
Republicans can do will have any
effect upon his course or his chance
for seat in the Senate
The Commonwealth believes that
he is the logical candidate for the

sending him to the Senate. We be-
lieve his claims are far and way ahead
of all other aspirants Scotland Neck
