MILTON NJ. HOLLAND DEAD
Milton M. Holland, who died at his
late residence, Sunday, was one OF
he bravest coIored soldier during the
Civil War. 1t was because of his
bravery while in action as member
of the Fifth U. S. Colored Troops
that with James BrownsOn, Powhatan
Beatty and Robert Penn, all of the
same regiment, he was awarded, un-
der the act of Congress passed July
II, 1862, a medal of honor. The
record on the files of the War De
partment in Hollands case Is as fol
lows: Milton NJ. Holland, sergeant
Company c, 5th U. S. Troop, Cha
fms Farm, Va, September 20, 1864.
Took command of Co. c after all the
officers had been killed or wounded
and CALAMITY led it"
This statement is brief, but most
graphic. 1t tells what Holland when
but twenty years of age did for his
country. Had he been white he
would have received a commission
and much of that pessimism and
depression that clouded the latter
years of his life might have been
avoided. He was brave. aggressive,
fearless t1ncnr,nr, rot,ni ic;ano.

There are S91 members of congress
now, a number which admittedly is
unwieldly, and there is sentiment
in favor Of keeping 1t right there, or
even Of reducing it, that it may be
more mobile in legislation. but as that
would unquestionably result in reduc-
