AN ERROR. D. M. Gulp, M.D., has concluded a series of letters in the Salt Lake, Utah, Brfcad Ax, embracing a review ol the past and future of the American Negro, and covering thirty-seven chapters. Colored American, Washington, D.C.

Editor Cooper, you have made a mistake by asserting that Dr. I). W. Culp has contributed or concluded a series of articles in the Broad. Ax.

Dr. Culp, who resides in Jacksonville, has never wrote one line nor one article for our publication, but that distinguished gentleman did however contribute an article to tbe Arena of April, 1897, entitled "The past and the future ol the American Negro." At that time we commented upon it very briefly and stated that it was our intention to reproduce it in our publication; We began itt reproduction in the issue of the Broad Ax May 1st, 1897, and concluded it in the issue dated June 26th, and we Began our review of Dr. Culp's article in the Broad Ax dated July 3rd, and our reflections upon it have embraced 37 chapters. It was concluded in the Broad ax of Aug. 20th.

Dr. Culp advanced some excellent ideas whichVe heattily endorsed. But the main object which we had for reviewing his article was to brush aside some of the I false and erroneous ideas which he advanced pertaining to the Democratic party and the negro. THE GALLANT 24TH REGI MENT. 0 all Utah's brave troops, none fonght harder than the gallant 24th.

They were in the brunt of the charge at San Juan Hill.and many of them went down in death. It is time for the Droad Ax to do some crowing. The 24th must walk off with, the palm for the state. The Round-vp, Randolph, Utah. Mr.

Bound-up! The Broad Ax has done considerable crowing over the achievements of the Twenty-fourth Begiment and the other negro troops that led the ever memorable charge up San Joan hill, and the heroic exploits which were performed by these gallant members of our race, who are looked, upon by the Ivast majority of the American people with scorn I and contempt on account of our color, cannot be surpaased in indent or aaodera warfare. Every person who claims or pre tends to belong to the white or the superior "race, ought to bang his head in humiliation and shame wbeahe realize or. comprehends the fact that uader ho circaautan- cea woald aay ef fee white soldiers or troops proffer their services jto adBunister to their coarades who wareatrickeB dowa with the yellow fever.
