certain class of people, who have
but recently been physically eman-
cipated by a party that believes in
honest elections and an honest
government, of, for and by the
people, Can q great government
like this longer tolerate such un-
fairness towards people that have
done so much to protect it again t
foreign as well as domestic in
yasion? Wherever the democratic
party can get control Of the col
cred man, who has heretofore
affiliated and continues to do so
with a party of purity, eff ,rts are
being made and are carried out to
take from him the right of suffrage.
Well, let it be so, no more harm
can befall the colored man than
what he gets to day. He is harm
less, but brave, loyal and patriotic
to the flag that claims to float over
the 'land of the free and the
home Of the brave" The col
man should find no fault with
those who have aud will always
protect him, wherever an occasion
arises. The democratic party be
lisVes in the States right doctrines,
and the highest court in the land
Sustains that party in the conten-
ton of such q doctrine. What is
there left for the negro to do? Is
he able, TO resist, by force or With
arms the Outragss that are practic-
ed upon him: He is weak, hence
he must appeal to the Judge
mont Of those people who believe
IN tae protection of human flesh,
human rights, personal liberty ana
tne protection Of life and property.
The cOlored man must. so con-
duet himself, to the interest that
will command respect. He must
so conduct himself that will force
the white man to him. He must
make himself political necessity
as well as an Industrial factor in the
great body polite.
The Washington bee., 1901-07-13
The South.

1t is a settled fact that the
Negro South is TO be retired
from politics, no matter how manv
protests may be made from thoes
who believe in fair play. The
democratic party has control of the
Southern States. It is the de-
termination Of that party to elm
mate the Negro frem politics cost
what 1t may. 1t is not necessary
for the colorsd man to be.ome
chagrinsd neither ought he to be
dis urbed in mind. If every
Negro South should be disfranchis-
ed or denied the privilege to
vote, ne will not fare any worse.
Under the pretense of Constitu-
tlonal authority, the rights Of the
black man are to be taken from
him. Let it be what it may, there
is good time coming. Iguorant
whites are no more fit 20 rule than
ignorant blacks. The more in
telhgent white man. South ia
inclined to deal more fairly to-
wards the Negro than the ignor-
ant whites. Intelligence soon
becomes tired of ignorance, be it in
the white or the black man. So
that the time will come, S,atb
when the ignorant white man will
be de.hrOned, Intelligence will rule
and then the black man will de-
n 'nstrate his superior intellect
IN ntaegreas American body polite.
L: Us hope for better davs be-
cause they will surely come and
eJme sooner than we may expect.

THEY KNEW NO FEAR
How Five American Soldiers Defied
an Army of Redskins.
4hrashed Them at Odds of Twenty
Five TO one-A Scene of Cool COur-
age and HerOism That Has
But Few Equals.

Probably nowhere in authentic his
tory outside of the official records of
the Sixth United States cavalry can
there be found an account Of a bat
tie fought and Won by an army with
odds against it Of 25 10 l. 1t wasn't

but it fought hard for Is hours and

ber. Maj. W. II. Carter, of the Sixth.
touches on the incident briefly in his
history of the regiment, but he gives
IN full the letter Of Gen. Miles, which
IS perhaps the most striking testi-
mOnial TO the heroism Of a handful
Of enlisted men that was ever penned
by a general commanding a country's
armies.
In August, 1874, says the Chicago
Record-Herald, the Cbeyennes, Kiowas
and COmanehes were dyeing the Kan
sas border red. An expedition against
them was fitted out al Fort Dodge,
with Gen. Nelson \. Miles in command.
The Indians fed south 10 the Red
river in Texas, pursued hotly by a
detachment of the Sixth cavalry under
Capts. Compton and Biddle. The
braves of the allied tribes made a
stand on the face OF the bluffs Of the
Tule river. All told there were 600
warriors, The meager forces Of the
Sixth charged, routed the reds and
drove them "Over the bluffs and

was caused by a ghost OF q relative who
was a pianist before death.
The annoyance continued until the
family became almost desperate from
lack Of sleep. Their supeTsIiriOns
seemed well founded until a careful
investigation revealed the real cause
Of the annoyance.
Mckinley carefully descended the

lions, asleep.
For half a minute I thought them
dead, but as I stood staring at them
with my heart in my mouth, every
one of them sprang up with a growl.
And they faced around at me, look
ing ugly, shifting the air with their
whiskers drawn back, showing the
white line of their teeth, switching
their tails and looking like demons.
AS for me, 1 stood rooted to the
spot. I couldn't move, from sheer
fright. a queer, numb sensation be-
