Houston type will dOubly shame

There is blame on both sides,
no doubt. Insolence ana insult

dination and violent reprisals on
the black; and probably it would
not require a trained nose to de-
tect a smell of whisky on the
premises.
Also the war department and
the military authorities generally
should get some sense and use it
in this matter Of statiOning col
Ored troops, and select camps and
stations which offer the least,
not the most local proyocations
to rows and ructions between the
colored soldiers and the white
communities.
What sense is there in station
ing these regiments in localities
where the mentality, to call it
so, Of the pOpulace is such that
the sight Of negro in uniform
is like a red parasol to a bull
a studied affront.
These rioting troops should of
course be punished strictly ac-
cording to their deserts, anC ex-
actly as white troops would be
punished for similar conduct
but the origins and first provoca-
tons Of the affray should be
strictly inquired into so that the

black or white, but if the truth
were known it will be found that
the men of the Twenty-fouIth In
fantry, guilty as they may be, are
not alone the guilty ones. But
read what the Sentinel says:
Meanwhile let white men who
have to do with black troops en-
ploy ordinary sense. Let them
avoid the tactless, overbearing,
insolent attitude that provokes
characterization and violence, and
give the negro an even break in
his effort to keep straight.-Chi-
cago Tribune.
And in this case that avoidance
should be made easy by the fact
that these colored men wear Tn
Gle Sans uniform and can be re-
lied upon to do their bit as well
as the best when the time comes
for them to fight for the flag
somewhere in France"
