A Few Words About the Niger.

A question that will never grow old
in America is that of the negro, and

oil, especially in the north, over the
matter. In the south, where the black
is best understood, you hear little about
it, and the race is in better shape than
anywhere else. The truth Of the whole
matter is that the negro is just what
the white man makes him. II the com.
munity exalts him, he swells up, IL it
treats him in n common sense way he
keeps his place. There is no middle
ground and no one understands il bet
ter than the unspoiled negro himself.
Adjusted among these lines there is
never any friction, and the colored
section is a really more or less indis-
pensible member of the community at
large. 1t is only when these conditions
are interfered with that there is any
disturbance, and that is really all the
excuse there can be for any. 1t is then
that the liver of the community gets
out Of order and the trace question
comes up, even though the conditions
are the fault of the community itself.
1t is also true that it is in attempting
to correct such conditions hat q com
munity generally makes a collective ass
out Of itself.
The great mass of the African race
recognize the structures which nature
has imposed upon them, and are content
TO let ii go at that, and such negroes
are valued members of any community
they no more endorse the impudent
young buck or tho negro that has been
spoiled by the white people, than docs
the most violent negro hater, even
though they are sometimes compelled
to suffer for their sins. The world
has nothing to fear from the blac k
who is not ashamed to be called a
niger and to do the part which
nature and custom has assigned to him,
That is the modern development Of the
old.time negro who nursed US as chill
dren and who followed the fortunes OF
the family with consuming pride and
answering loyalty. You can trust
them now as you did then; no amount
Of confidence will spoil them. There is
"A place in every community for such
negroes and it is one of the reproaches
of the time that they must at times
be injured by the example Of the de,
generates of their own race for which
they are in no wise responsible.
The southern people, who understand
the negro best, seldom have any trouble
with him. Occasionally they come down
on a degenerate with a heavy hand

virtuous Indignation, but now Ohio, Mis-

DEN MARK.

At the last election a sergeant pub.
hcly recommended the election of a
Social Democrat to seat in the rigs
dag, and many of his comrades re-
sented this because the candidate had
expressed himself very strongly
against Strengthening of the mil
itary defences Of the country. Excite
ment ran high, and at public meet
Ing the sergeant was accused by one
OF his comrades Of being guilty of
treason against the army. This was
more than the sergeant could stand,
and he caused his accuser to be placed
before court martial. The decision
went against the sergeant, stating
that an officer that publicly supports
a Social Democrat for Office is vir-
tually guilty of treason against the
army. The decision aroused storm
Of Indignation in Liberal and Social
Democratic circles, and the riksdag
asked Minister Of War Krabbe to ex-
plain the course chosen by the court
martial. He declared that in his opin-
ion the decision was very unfortunate,
and that it would tend to undermine
the splendid discipline which prevails
in the army at the present time. He
stated that there are not a few Rad
icals and Social Democrats among the
lower officers of the army, but they
serve just as faithfully and conscien-
tiously as those officers who belong
to the Conservative parties, and the
discipline is just as strict among
them. Social Democratic views, he
said, have the same rights as other
political views in the army, and II
any attempt should be made to drive
the court-martialed sergeant out of
the army he would stand by him to
the last.
