" Texans have marie another Alamo, and in the cause of freedom. On the unhappy soil of Cuba fifteen brave fellows have poured out their life blood, a libation on the altars of liberty. Hopeless of succor, they unflinchingly faced a myriad foe, and one by one fell at the post of duty. Called upon to surrender, they sent back the grim reply, "We remember Maceo," and prepared to die as brave men die. One by one they fell, yet there were no trembl ing bands, no dimmed eyes, no quak inrr hearts in ihnt. litt.lp hflroifi band. At last but two remained. "Wound ed, bleeding, parched with thirst, their indomnitable spirits exulted in 1 death, and with' the cry "Vive Cuba L.ibre," they fell beneath the hacking knives of the accursed Spanish sol diery. The world over, heroic deeds send the blood tingling thiough artery and vein, and mingling with sorrow for the untimely death of those brave fellows who fell in the cause of hu man freedom, is a thrill of pride that Americans have not yet forgot ten how to die. The pages of his tory are emblazoned with heroic deeds, and for centuries the story of Leonidas and his immortal band has furnished a theme for historian, poet orator and painter. That one field where fell all .but two has been pointed to' as the greatest of all bat tles. It remained for Davy Crockett and his band of Texans to furnish, t the Alamo, a second Thermopylae, , where Death held carnival, but Fear entered not. The Spartans fell re sisting the Persians, and in the de fense of - their liberty, their homes, their country their all. No greater motive ever moved the hearts of men. Yet, at the Alamo, the brave Texans died on the heaps of dead that they had made, to free them selves from the rule of the descend ants of Spain. They, too, fought for liberty for themselves, to acquire freedom for their children, and to shake off the joke of the oppressor. They, too, were moved by the pow- l erful motives of self-interest. It re mained for Texas to furnish the . third example, and the most striking of the lot, for in this latter case no selfish motives entered in. Their homes were not invaded, their liber ties not to be won. Moved only by that sympathy which makes men al most divine, they risked their lives that others might be free, and at the call of the oppressed , gave all that man can give their llves for the sacred cause. No more precious gift was ever made at the shrine of Liberty than the fifteen brave lives, sacrificed so gloriously that Cuba might be free. It may be that no monument of stone shall mark the spot where these mer?fell, for national gratitude is a rare trait, but the pages of history for all time to come will contain their story, which shall stand side by side with those of Thermopyhe and the Alamo. . . N ' Texas may well feel proud of her sons, for of the three great examples of men; fighting to the last, Texas has furnished two, the balance of the world, one. The ambassadors of the European governments have met and agreed upon reforms in Turkey which they have submitted to the sultan. It seems that copper-colored accident is not satisfied with the arrangements and refuses, to listen to them He rises to the heroics, and with the pride engendered by the uucorrupted blood of a long line of murderous and licentious ancestors, he dramat ically said, "I may be the last of the .' Caliphs, but I will never be a second Khedive." It might be better for Abdul Ham id to con a few of our homely English proverbs. 'Half a loaf is better than no bread" might do tor a kindergarten example, and along with this the story of the farmer who threw grass, clods ' and then stones at the boy in'his apple tree. He might learn from these ancient stories that it were better to come down gracefully and cheerfully while he may do so without seeming com pulsion. - We suggest that Secretary Olney and the senate fight it out in San Francisco, with Earp as referee The decision might not be correct, but it would stop the everlasting yawp. The bar has been removed from the capitol building at Washington, and now our senators and congress men may be able to pass in and out without either pilot or tug.
