No West Point of Our Own.
BY LIEUT.. H. o. FLIPPER.

Editor of The CO.OFed American.
Washington, D. c., Dear sir:-AfteE !
had seEt you my views as to how to
keep one or more Negro students at
the Naval aud Military Academies, The
Colored American brought me the
proposition of ME. J. e. Cunningham
for IA West Point of our own"
wish to register my objection to
such a proposition. 1t Is not prs ,ticable.
Every state aud territory in the Union
has a military academy and there are
hundreds of private military insti
tutlons. There are also large number
OF schools that give sO-called military
instruction, and even have army Of
fieers detailed as instructors. None OF
them give more than the most rudi-
mentary instruction and do not 90 be.
yona the school of the company in in

but he is attacking the trenches every
where and he has learned that he can
xpect nothing, if ne be unfit and in
competent. and where fit and compe'
tent, he is making his way, If indeed ii
be slowly and labOriously. Why should
he throw down his gun and turn
away from the trenches that seem to
hedge West Point and Annapolis, es'
pecially since he knows how the enemy
Is situated.
Now, propose that the idea of "a
West Point of our ownu be abandoned
as impracticable and chimerical. Take
a boy fourteen, fifteen or sixteen years
of age, several Of them if you please,
from one or more republican states; put
them under the care Of Professor Kelly
iller and let him give them the Identical
mathematical course taught at West
Point for two or three years and then
let them go home and seek appoint
ment by all the means In the power OF
themselves, their friends at home and
Influential Negroes and Othess all over
the land, if need be. have no doubt
they will get 1t and when they go to
West Point, they will be able to get in
and to stay. The boys selected must
be physically sound. The boy who
likes to study and is fond OF work is fer
better than the naturally bright but
careless or Indifferent. Such boy has
little love for hard work and too much
time in which to get insuIted.
That part OF the mathematical course
embracing pure mathematics should be
thoroughly drilled into the pupil. re-
fer to algebra, plane and spherical
geometry, plane and spherical trigO-
nometry, descriptive geometry, anaIytl-
cal geometry, shades, shadows and
perspective, stereotomy and differential
and integral calculus. Applied mathe-
matics nee not be so thoroughly laugh
because with full kno wledge Of pure
mathematics, the former would have no
terrors. They embrace analytical me-
chanies, civil and military engineering,
acoustics and optics, astronomy, ord
nance and gunneFy, and field and sea
coast fertilization.
L am glad to note Mr.. Cuuningham's
interest in this very important matter
and trust he has many followers. am
equally glad to note his belief in haYing
only competent men to represent the
race in responsible positions, men
trained therefor. The bravery of the
British officer and soldier is the ad
miration of the world, but the in
competency of the officers of all grades
is byword in every military center in
the world. (See the severe criticism by
Lord WOlsey of the manoeuvres at Al.

schools up TO the standard Of West

mas steatlly grown Detter TOM the time
the first one entered there In 1870 down
to the graduation Of Major Young. 1t
has never been what it ought 30 be, but
1t has always been what we might have
expected among 80 large number of
students drawn from all parts OF the
coudtry. Personally, I have never
known OF any ill treatment Of q Negro
cadet by. the government or by any pro-
fessor or officer at West Point and,
fraukly, | do not believe there has ever
been such case. W hat ill treatment
Negro cadets have received has come
from the white cadets. and that as
have stated, has grown less every suc'
ceeding year. It is not In the power Of
the government or Of its officers TO put
down prejudice at West Point any more
than 1t is In its power TO put 1t down In
the country at large. Msnifestly the
doors of west Point have not been
closed against US by the government.
1t is net probable that Negro could
obtain appointment In a democratic
state for obvious reasons, but there is
no reason why, In republican state,
he should not seek that appointment
just as he seeks any other appointment,
nor is there any reason why he should
not get the one just as he gets the other
But when he gets the appointment his
education should be suffi oientIy ad
vanced to enable him to hold the po.
silion. 1t does us no good to send in
competents to West P0iut, have them
fail and then blame the government for
it.
A student who has not gone beyond
common fractions In arithmetic will
and il up hill work to jump to Bour'
don's algebra, plane and spherical
geometry and plane and spherical
trigonomstry during his first year at
West Point, where something mere
than elements" are taught. When |
went to West Point had already mas.
tered those branches and my first years
work theSe was tn the nature OF q re-
view. except as to the practical part of
the course, drill, etc.
1t seems that Mr.. Cunning ham would
have us confess incapscity to take the
course at West Point and lack of mo al
as we'll as physical courage to face the
prejudice that exists there among the
students. He thinks the government
does not want US at all but proposes
that we educate ourselves and offer our
services to the government, which
could not then charge US with in.
competency. He assumes that the
government would accept US. Pos

charge, nor do l approve the remedy
he proposes. am not an advocate of
equal rights. l believe in a steady. per.
slstent, unrelaxing determination tn

favor of surrenderipg anything we have
gained. The Negro has as much right
to be cadet as he has to be a regisier
of the Treasury or minister or conan,
or hold any other official position under
the government, and the government
has the right to demand that he be fit
and competent. Conditions at our ser
vice school are abnormal beyond anv

Sugar Factory Starts Aug. 10th.

The management of the Grand juno
ton Sugar Manufacturing company an
nouuces that the big mill will be put in
operation on the twentieth day OF this
month for the seasons run.
When the factory closed down last
year there was left on hand about $50
tons OF brown sugar. The mill stopped
as soon as the supply OF beets was ex-
hausted and OF course the syrup or brown
sugar was left over from the run. This
brown sugar will be run through and
manufactured into granulated sugar be-
fore there will be any cutting of beets
for new supply, out it is believed that
by the time that run is made, which it ID
estimated will take eight to ten days,
that the crop will be ready or that a
continuous supply can be had for the in
tended run.
The beets in the field are looking
hnsly. They will average greater ton
mage per acre the present year than
last, by a great deal and it is anticipated
by Manager Cox that the results will be
correspondingly hattering.
The factory will employ all told on the
two shifts, day Ard night about two
hundred hands. so that there will be an
abundance OF work in the city shortly for
all who really desire to work.
Many OF the young men OF the city
were tutored in handling some Of the
most intricate OF the machinery, but
still there will be abundance Of work for
all those who are not skilled.
The sugar factory has already proven
will grow in its benefits, as the years go
by.

RIVERS IN a FLOOD.
Disaster Along the sIonongah ella, the
Allegheny and the Ohio.


The damage done by the storm which
swept the Atlantic seaboard, the eastern
lake region and the Ohio valley Sunday
and Monday can scarcely be estimated
because reports have not been received
from numerous localities where the loss
was greatest In Pennsylvania and West
Virginia the damage by food viii reach
into the hundreds Of thousands Of doll
lars. As far west as the State Of Ohio
the wind and rain wrought great destruc-
ton of property.
Ia their mad rush the waters ruined
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
Of property, caused the loss of several
lives. temporarily threw out of employ
ment housands of workmen by the fore
ed suspension of the many industrial es-
adjustments lining the banks of both
the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers,
and rendered hundreds of families home
less.
From Ohio points come stories of des-
olation and destruction Of property. In
Columbus trees all over the city We're
broken. and twisted and trains from all
directions are badly delayed. At Cha
grin Falls the telephone switchboard
burned out and set fire TO half a dozen
houses. At Cambridge several buildings
were blown down and their contents de-
stroyed. The Ohio river and all streams
in the southern portion of the State are
rising rapidly. A reservoir, located a
mile above Chauncey, burst and flooded
the town. Nearly every residence in the
place was damaged. A hundred yards of
railroad track was washed out. One hum
bred men working in the Chauncey mine
narrowly escaped drowning.
Trains all through Tennessee were bad
ly delayed. No trains reached Paducah,
Ky, over the Nashville and Chattanooga
lire for three days. Rain fell necessarily
for more than fifty hours throughout
West Virginia, and eli the streams are
overfiowins Tie Kanawha at Charles
ton reached me danger point, and people
in the lowlands hastily moved out. In
the Guyandotte valley the river and its
tributaries are over lowing their banks
and are bearing away quantities of prop
erty. Nine thousand logs have gone out,
taking with them the false work Of the
two new Guyandotte Valley Railroad
bridges south of Barboursyille. Loss es-
timated at $4,000 to $4,000. The track
of the new Guyandotte Valley Railroad,
Just completed to Salt Rock, distance of
eighteen miles, has been almost ruined.

ASKS FOR NEW SHIPS.
Secretary Longs Annual Report on
Naval Affairs.

Naval Affairs.
Two new battleships, two armored
cruisers, six gunbou and half dozen
smaller vessels are asked of Congress by
Secretary of the Navy Long in his annual
report to the President. The request is
more moderate than those Of the general
board of the navy, OF which Admiral
Dewey is head, and of the board of con-
struction, made to the Secretary, but the
appropriations necessary for the construc
ton of the vessels would be at least $780,
100000 as it is.
Secretary Long makes lis recommends
tons briefly ana witheIt urging them, but
he puts them forward as desirable in the
prospective development of the naval
force.
There are now under way IN the ship
yards eight battleships and forty-iive 9TH
er vessels of all classes Du ing the past
year three battleships, the Alabama,
Kearsarge and Kent IckF, one protected
cruiser, the Albany, and two torpedo
boats, have been finally conditionally ac-
cepted by the government.
Among other recommendations made is
one that the grade of vice admiral be re-
viyed by Congress, that means be found
for establishing a national reserve in adj
dition to the naval militia Of the various
States, and that hall of public records
be built for the preservation not only Of
the accumulated records OF the Navy De.
partment, but also of all other executive
departments. The building of large
dry dock in the Philippines and the cree
ton of a statue to Admiral Porter are
also recommended.
