It matters little to ilie‘American peo-
ple what thc‘ moving cause may be

Colors 11 and Indian Soldiers.
“And the colored troops fought
nobly” was the concluding sentence of
agraphic pen picture of one of the
important engagements of our great
war. _The men of whom those words
were written were, on that occasion,
under fire for the first time, and their
brave bearing confirmed the success of
the experiment of enlisting the “contra-
bends” in the Union Army. “And the
Colored troops fought nobly” from that
time the conflict ended.
Meanwhile the great body of the
iicgroes remained quietly at their homes
in the South, caring for the wives and
children of their absent owners with
almost unvarying fidelity. Thus the
war records of the blacks on both sides
"oft-be line between the loyal and the
Confederate States was creditable to
on until
the race.
The history of our little army since
the volunteers were mustered out and
our fighting force settled down to
normal conditions, furnishes an inter.
esiiog illustration of the relative apti-
tude of the Indians and the negroes for
regular military service. After a fair
- trial the former are condemnc6, while
the latter have firmly established the
reputation for soldierly qualities Which
thov won in the war time.
During the Harrison adminstrntion it
was deemed cruedieut to try the exper.
'" . imnnt, of enlisting Indians. But from ,

I he'War Department, finding the ex-
periment a. failure, will make no further
effort to-utilizo the aboriginals for mil-
itary sérvicc. It would appear that
these people still retain some of.“ the
most pronounced characteristics of
their “unturned and untamable progen-
itors.” . The rigid discipline that is
indispensable in the army, is at war
with the nature of the Indian. He
abhors cleanliness, detest-s order, and
loathcs restraint.
On the other hand,
gratifying success has attended the on-
listment of colored also in the regular
army. There are now two full cavalry
regiments of these troops, the Ninth
and Tenth, and should an opportunity
occur, other regiments Will be organ~
ized. The official reports state that'
the colored troops are efficient, that
the men are not addicted to grumb-
ling, that they are obedient and that
their loyalty to their country knows no
complete and
bounds.
It is as credit-able to the colored men
as it is gratifying to their, white fellow
citizens, that in war and in peace, in
civil and in military life they are ready
and able to do their duty as Americans.
For a race that emerged from slavery a
little more than thirty years ago, a race
which prior to that recent emancipation
had no history but that of the African
jungle, the capture and sale, the middle
passage andbondugc, the colored people
of the United States are making won-
derful progress, and immeasurably sur-
passing she achievements of their
brethren in any other part of the world.
Slavery is dead and the ban of almost
universal condemnation rests on its
grave. But there are few evils out of
which good is not evolved. The colored
people of the United States owe their
present magnificent heritage and
boundless opportunities to the capture
and enslavement of their ancestors

He took pains, however, to ask each
one separately as to how they liked the
“ surprise,” the identity of which not

all agreed on the one point that it was
unlike anything they had ever tasted
