THE FATHER OF SLAVERY.

The first man to advocate the intro
duction of slaves from Africa into the
new world was Bartholomew de Las
Casas, a Spanish priest, who was born
in Seville, Spain, on Aug. 20, 1474.
1.-THE father of African slavery in
America" first crossed the Atlantic
when, at the age of 10, he accompan-
led his father with Columbus to the
West Indies. On returning to Spain,
he determined to fit himself for the
duties of a missionary and to return
to America, there to spend his days
in preaching the gospel to the Indians,
and humanity to their oppressors." It
was his tender regard for the mis-
treated natives that led him to sug.
gest that African slaves be imported
to labor in the fields and mines and
thus relieve the Indians of a. burden
they were temporarily untitled to bear.
HIS suggestion was followed, and the
African slave trade was inaugurated
A dozen times Las Casas crossed the
ocean to plead the cause of the In
dams at the foot of the Spanish
throne. The town of Cumana, in Ven
ezuela, still boasts of an old church in
which "the father of slavery in Amer
lea" preached. Las Casas returned to
Spain late in life and died in Madrid
at the age of go.

Fight and Die for Country But Are Not
Given Honor.
(From the Christian Register, Boston. J
The mutiny of colored soldiers, and
their murderous procedure, is pecul-
1arly unfortunate at the present time.
1t adds fuel to the flame of race
hatred. Those who espouse the cause
of colored people as against the unfair
treatment they suffer by no means
commit themselves to any extenuation
of their wrongdoing. The crimes COM
mitted by these soldiers should be
brought home to those guilty of them.
But it should be recognized, even here,
that colored soldiers do not have a
fair deal. They are allowed to fight
for their country and die for it, and
they have done so creditably, but they
are, not given corresponding honor.
The salute is not required, or at least
is not given, to colored officers equally
with white officers. It is possible that
much provocation, if not justication,
lies behind the INSTRUMENTATION which
does not appear in the published re-
ports.

FAILURE TO FIGHT COSTLY.

That strong defender of true Ameri-

printed an editorial in recent issue
which is so accurate an exposition of
the costly blunder the colored people
have made in failing to fight for their
rights that We reproduce it. We trust
that every reader will read it care
fully and ponder over the truths ex-
pressed.
1T has not been so very many years
since the adoption of the war amend
ments to the Constitution and the be-
ginning of systematic effort on the
part of our enemies to nullify the eff
feet they were expected to have and
its subsequent good. Since these ef-
forts at restriction began, they have
grown and multiplied rapidly and
much Of it has been due to our refusal
to fight the issues raised with all our
resources, before they became opera
tive. In the South disfranchising
constitutions have come, separate or

sire for a segregation of the races in
Heaven, if some Of them ever get
there. These things have all crept
upon us since emancipation and the
elevation to a citizenship supposed to
be equal to that of all other Ameri-
cans. We have lost ground, South
and North, because we have not
fought, and when we have resisted,
have lacked leadership, while other
supposed leaders have played into the
hands of our enemies. AS race, we
have been burlesqued, abused and hui
inflated by the thoughtless (some,

those hostile to our interests, simply
