MORE PROTECTION NEEDED.

The Negr1 is drifting into the cities
1t may be to his detriment, in view of
the increased temptations and heavier
living expenses. But, the reason is
plain. Lynchings are successful only in
rural districts, and robbery, direct or
by contract, can best be accomplished
far from courts and juries. If Negro
can save nothing, he can at least live
and that counts for a good deal. We
do not counsel this migration to the
cities, unless necessary, for the perma-
nent growth of the race must inevitab-
ly depend upon our footing in the soil.
Agriculture is our bed rock. 1t would
be wise for the leaders of southern
thought to take steps to insure adequate
protection to Negroes on farms, both
as to person and to wages. The black
mans muscle is sorelY needed by the
whites when the crops become ripe.
The river parishes of Louisiana have
lost more fhan 5000 colored laborers

SATURDAY. APRIL 1s, 1902
THs NsuRo IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The Negro Is entitled to fair play
in the Philippines, and our rights
should be insisted upon. In the judicial
service We are cipher, and the prom
ise of representation, like hope deferred,
maketh the heart sick. In the or iinary
civil service we are as scarce as snakes
in Irelahd-"there aren't any"-and
the outlook offers little. The most dis
couraglng aspect is furnished by the
discrimination in army circles.
There were two regiments of colored
volunteers. the Forty-eighth and
Forty-Linth, having an aggregate of
70 officers and during all the time of
the service, very few, if any of these
officers were put upon any special duty
or given any civil appointment. while
from the white volunteer regiments,
such appointments were quite numer-
GUS The cOlored officers, without
notable exception, were shut out of the
opportunity to take the examinations
for appointment to the regular army
COlored men were given to understand
that il was the policy of the govern
ment not to appoint colored men in
these islands.
Colered men were fatty told that
they would not be appointed on the
police force in Manila, a force made
10 Of discharged soldiers. In fact it
was general y limited from official sourc-
es that colored soldiers were not wanted
in the islands after they were discharg-
ed. CoiOred school teachers we're treat
ed to the same dose of ostracism, and
if any have been appointed recently,
we have yet to hear the glad tidines.
The Negro soldier is especially adapt
ed to the conditions existing in the
Philippines, for the natives like men of
their own racial admixture, and thew
would more readily weld together the
warning factions that make peace a
far away problem. The colored Judge
would make American rule more ao.
ceptable than the majority of Caucas.
ians, and the colored teacher would be
received with open arms.
