Among the recent promotions in the
army was that of Maj. Charles Young
Tenth United States cavalry, to the
grade of lieutenant colonel. Special
interest attaches to this case for the
reason that, although Colonel Young
Is not the only colored man to have
been graduated from the United States
Military academy, he is the only man
of his race to have reached the rank
OF lieutenant colonel, the second high
est in regimental organization. He was
graduate In 1889 and most of his serv-
ice has been in the Ninth and Tenth
cavalry, in which he rose gradually to
his present rank. For nearly a year,
while holding the rank of first lieuten-
ant. he was attached to the Seventh
cavalry, white regiment. During the
Spanish war he served as major of the
Ninth Ohio colored infantry. regi-
ment he helped to organize. For sew
eral months past he has been serving
with his regiment in the punitive eXpe-
dition to Mexico under General Per-
shing.
In addition to Lieutenant Colonel
Young, there are eight other coiored
men holding commissions in the army.
These are: Maj. John r. Lynch of the
pay corps, formerly member of con-
gress, who is retired; Capt. John e.
Green. Twenty-fifth infantry, who is
military attache at Monrovia, Liberia (;
Capt. Benjamin o. Davis of the cav
airy, who is military instructor at will
berforce university, Ohio, and Chap
lains w. w. e. GLADDEN.. Twenty-fourth
infantry George w. Prioleau, Twenty
fifth infantry; o. J. w. Scott, Tenth
cavalry Louis A. Carter, Ninth caval-
ry, and T. G. Stewart and William T.
Anderson, both of whom are on the
retired list. Chaplain Anderson has
the rank of major, the others being
either captains or first lieutenants.
In the period covered by one vlgor-
GUS manhood, approximately colnci-
dent with the half century following
emancipation, things changed very
much for the American Negro. He
more than doubled in numbers and
accumulated wealth exceeding $780,
100000. His school property for higher
education built and paid for in that
time amounted to $20O00,O00; his
church property to $70,OOO,OOO.
In the half century the percentage of
literacy was raised from to 20. At its
close there were 100000 Negro chill
dren in public schools instead of a
meager 10000 in 1863. The number of
Negro churches was increased from
$50 to 10000; the number of communi-
cants from $4,000 to 100000. Sunday
schools increased from 200 to Al 900
and pupils from 10000 to 100000.
This is very creditable record for
an uneducated, illiterate race suddenly
thrown on its own resources in the
midst of highly organized white CIV
iliZation, which had no place ready for
its former slaves. And the Negroes
are by no means standing still. They
are entering every branch of business
and making good; they are rapidly ex-
tending their real estate holdings they
are giving themselves secular and re-
ligiOus education that ranks high in
the Christian world. What their fu-
ture in this country will be no man
dares to prophesy, but undoubtedly
they will be ready to meet boldly and
capably whatever fate has in store for
them. They have learned to stand on
their feet.
