Three years ago two young Amerf-

ed north from Lake Superior to reach
Hudson Bav For two months and
hat they Journeyed through a trackless
wilderness of forest Occasionally they
came upon great rivers, unknown even
TO the maD-makers. They lived on the
game and fish they shot or caught.
Only twice in that long tramp did they
meet human beings; hunting parties of
Indians and half-breeds in both cases.
Finally they came out at a trading
post There they found themselves at
the center of a depOtism so complete as

CHAPTER x.
DECLARATION
INDEPENDENCE.

INDEPENDENCE.
Almost every problem of
national life had been il1umined
and made more hopeful by the
searchlight of war save one-the
lrrepressible conflict between
the African and the Anglo
Saxon in the development of our
civilisation. The glare of war
only made the b1ackness of this
question and the more appar-
ent.
While the well-dril1ed negro
regulars, led by white officers
acquitted themselves with
honour at Santiago, the negro
volunteers we're the source OF
riot and disorder wherever they
appeared. From the first, il
was seen by thoughtful men that
the Negro was an impossibility
IN the newborn unity of national
life. When the Ang1o-Saxon
race was united into one homo
geneous mass in the fire of this
crisis, the Negro ceased that
moment to be a ward Of the
nation.
A negro regiment had been in
camp at independence during
the war and was still there "a
waiting orders to be mustered
out. It's presence had inflamed
the passions of both races to the
danger point of riot again and
again. The negro who was edit
ing their paper at Indepdence
had gone to the length of the ut
most license in seeking to inf1u-
ence race antagonism.
When the regiment of which
the Hambright company was a
member of was mustered out at
