An unnstrlotlo pronosaI

New York Mail. 10 is an -unreason-
able and an unpatriotic proposal Il
eliminate the black regiments from the
United States army. II Is the theor-
lists, not the fighters, of the army who
make the proposition.
No question exists as to the fightin2
qualities Of the well selected and dis
ciplined negro soldier. He has beer
known as a first class fighting mar
since the days of ancient Egypt when
the Egyptian regular army consisted
entirely of negroes. In this country
the ability of the negro as a fighter was
discovered as long ago as the revolu-
tionary war. The civil war sealed the
record Of the negro's heroism with
stories of Fort Wagner and Port Hud-
son, where the colored volunteers jusl
out of slavery, fought with mad valOr
and gave their lives by thousands with
out a cry or sigh. There were ne
cooler soldiers under the Mauser fire
in our Spanish war than the BLACK
cavalryman Of the Ninth and Tenth al
Las Guasemas and San Juan, or the
infantrymen Of the Twenty fifth at El
Caney.
All this is established in history. The
race question is not an easy one, bu!
it certainly would not be made easier
by excluding twelve million Americans
from the chance Of fighting their coun-
iry's battles, and excluding them on
the ground that they are not worthy
to bear arms.

Wilson's Chance to BIunder

Hartford Courant: If Mn Wilson
does succeed in bringing about al,
abandonment Of the Philippine islands
and leaves those excitable and undisci-
plined people to "self government" he
will be responsible for a dreadful
amount of suffering. OF course, the
way out will be to blame those who
went in in the first place. 1t will
be easy to say that, if we hadn't
gone in, we wouldn't have had to &c

The cold fact is that we are il
possession of the Philippines. The

porous as they are now. There never
before was so little disturbance. The
turbulent elements are practically sub
