ANOTHER ALAMO.
" 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.
