Of comment of no less writer than
William Marion Reedy. which finds

Lake City, U~kiy, Of 4 recent date.
1t is said the fact this noted eXemplar
had been discovered pccplug through
kcy-holc Of a bedroom door and
WAS engaged in an attempt To iiirt
with the woman occupant, and this
is too positively stated to be downed
by simple denial, it fits too aptly
with the South doctrine that the
negro cannot be trusted to restrain
the brutal impulse of their race
when in the presence of white wO-
men. This is what has led to many
SO many instances of killing of the
blacks in the South, where oppor-
tunities have been afforded for visit
ing condigr punishment as the only
recourse. This is another reason
why the sale of liquor to the blacks
is made crime for such acts, in some
districts. Whisky invariably arOuses
the baser passions, and it follows
that what is born in the blood is
bred in the flesh.
A northern man who had been TO
and lived in the South. and had re-
turned after several years residence
in Mississippi, once told this writer:
4 went South with the usual opin-
ion that the negro had been unjustly
and harshly dealt with. ! returned
with the firm opinion that he has
met with the only judgment that the
white man could accord and main
tain his self-respect and honor.
1t is unfortunate for the black
man that it be so, and still more I'M
fortunate for him that Washington
will never again be able to retrieve
his lost ground. What can be ex-
pected of race. people will ask,
which cOllapses at just the point of

the effect. 1t will FEVER be set aside,
even were the incident of alleged in

plainable to some on grounds con-
SiStent with morality; no amount of
explanation will satisfy others. The
stain is ineffaceable and the publica-
tion is made because the people have

Relaxation of Army Posts

There seems To- hc considerable
doubt as 10 the propricty Of con
ccntration of the regular army at
large stations stratcgically cUnsid-
cred, for military purposes. Sane
ton of Congress will be necessary
to carry out this project. If the
scheme Of erecting barracks is adopt
cd, il will be well to consider wheth-
or the social position OF officers. or
the physical, not to say mental or
moral, condition of the soldiers. may
be most affected thereby. 1t may be
desirable that the army officers he
placed upon the same social footing
as those OF the navy, provided thu
next move might not be Il provision
of pay that will enable the cpauletted
favorites to ride " high horses in
SaSsicty.
At any rate it is the enlisted man,
rather than the officer. whose inter
cstS should be considered, and there
is no doubt but that the location of
large military posts near big cities
will contaminate, in large degree.
the morals of the men who are most
thrown into close association with
the lower grades of the masses.
Shipboard, of course, Restraints to
some degree this association, and the
discipline when in port seems to aid
the isolation very materially AS it
IS necessary for the country to main
tain large army and navy, it seems
that the government should pursue a
policy that may best safeguard from
the temptations in their way of the
young men who enter the army for
the protection and to maintain the
honor and glory of our beloved coun-
try. The dignity of their employer
should maintain respect for the uni
form, but il will not do so unless the
employer takes a deeper interest in
the welfare Of those who wear it
than this late movement forecasts rs
possible result. With the expert
ence of our naval service in view,
thoughtful observers will scarcely
take kindly to the proposal to turn
the soldiers too freely on the streets.
