He said that he came from Kan

he could not dispose Of, he found
himself penniless and wanted aplace

tened to his story occasionally asking
him few questions, until finally the
lieutenant asked Tyler where heS

the home Of Mr.. I. JEFF Bramlett, five

The Negro Soldier in the South.

1t IS not the practice of the war
department 10 maintain garriSJnS OF
negro troops in southern states. They
are usually SEN to posts in sparsley
settled regions of the west and north
west, where there is no antipath- TO
them on the part of the white people.
A negro in the army uniform is al
ways Il stalWart fellow and has Il very
good opinion of himself. He looks
down on the plantation negro and
brooks no interference by the white
man with his movements and amuse-
mentS when on leave. In a southern
community east Of the Mississippi he
would be regarded as a negro and not
as a soldier, and his independence and
his turbulence 1t times would be re-
sented. Moreover, his influence on the
town and plantation negroes would be
baneful to the relations existing be-
tween them and the whites. On the
whole, the war department deems j
the part of wisdom to keep him out Of
the old south. Detailing him for duty
along the Texas frontier is in the ma
ture of a compromises; it is a half
breed as we'll as white mans country,
and he should fit into the environment.
But Texas does not want him sober,
and it will not have him in liquor,
when he is turbulent, defiant and care
less with his weapons. The protest
against his retention there is garrison
which has been sent to Washington
by members of the Texas delegation IL
congress-, correctly and feeling repre-
sents to the sentiment Of the white peO-
pie. To the old abolition centres in the
north it nay seem outrageous that
officers of the government, such as
senators and representatives are,
should object to the presence Of regn-
lar soldiers in their locality on the
score of color, and theoretically IT
does seem all wrong. But the COUNT:
is very big, and if the negro soldier
is better off in a part of it where MS
presence does not endangr race feeling
why should he be sent TO a district
where his behavior prOvOkes collision
with the whites. who are better on
without him? 1t is not a case Tor
ramming a principle down the tnroats
of a community, but a case for the
matured judgment of experience. Inc
negro soldier is not assigned to posts
in or near northern cities-for his
good as well IS for the welfare Of thcir
,1,xed population. II ihc negro sol:'I"r
is not wantei in Texas. 1he~e is no
sound reason why he should be gar
risOned there except in an emergency.

med" GREEN HAS MADE RECORD
IN POLITICS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. %
The news that came up from the Lone
Star state last week that E. II. r.
Green, son of the enormously wealthy
Hetty Green, has been nominated by
the Republicans for governor of Texas
has crceated little ripple here, where
politics, like everything else, is as
dull as ditch water during these Au-
gust dog days. Young Green-he is
still in his thirties--is known only by
reputation here. But he has been ac-
tive in politics down in Texas for quite
long time considering his age and
the politicians in that section have
long regarded him as a Conner" 1t
is pointed out by those acquainted
with his career that Ned Green
was taking part in practical politics
long before this present-day fac arose
for rich young men to seek Office. He
has been in Texas about Is years and
always has been interested In the poll
tics of the state. He served three
terms as chairman OF the state COM

There are eight saloons in Guide

Of $4,000 for the purpose of being al

In which butterine and various meats
