The negro might do worse than to go
back to his southern home. It is true
that he might not enjoy the right of
suffrage to such an extent as he does
in the north, but the southern man rn-
derstands him better, and everything
considered, treats him better than any
one else. Climate, environment, and
everything else will be in his favor,
and the pillow and the hoe are the best
tools on earth for him to carve out his
future with.

The Grand Army of the Republic
has just closed it's annual convention
has been saying nice things about
try in the valley of the shadow of death,
who conquered one of the bravest foes
ever drew a sabre-a foe composed of
our people, of our own flesh and blood.
There were heroes on both sides, so let
us honor them all in this day of a re-
united country.

lis true saying, that every dog
has his day. When General Miles re-
tired from the command of the armv ON
the 9Th of this month the world had
many good things to say of him be-
cause of the gallant record he has
made. But not word of praise came
from the president or the secretary of
war. These two officials were az
silent as clans. Where other officers
who had retired we're 1auded for their
good work, General Miles was passed
by with the bare announcement of his
retirement by virtue of having reached
the age limit. But the people will take
better view of the achievements of
Nelson A. Miles, and they are taking
that view even now. Papers of every
political complexion are severely criti-
cising the president and secretary of
wal LOT tnelT unWOnted insult to
brave and gallant soldier who has
served his country honorably and we'll,
and whose back has never been turned
to foe. They will continue to COM
ment, and the more they do 50 the
greater will become Miles popularity.
Root was never soldier, the president
was soldier for only a few months.
but Miles has seen over forty years of
active duty, and duty we'll performed.
The public will not fail to place the
credit where it belongs, and history
will accord to Nelson A. Miles the
fame that is justly due him.

The negro problem is now confront

departments. Heretofore negroes have
been allowed to enlist i'm the army and

 When Chairman Cunningham of the committee offered the bill this morning as favorably reported MT. Werner of Tus- caloosa moved it's recommttal to the committee on the Judiciary. MT.

 Mir. Cunningham resisted this allega- tion and explained the provisions of his measure, contending that it was fair and ju st.
