We have read many favorable com-
ments of Southern newspapers on the
to us humiliating and disgusting
spectacle of grizzled Confederate vet-
erans breaking ranks in the parage at
Memphis to greet (teneral Fred (Jrant
with effusive demonstrations of affec-
tion. It is not claimed that Fredrick
Dent Grant has ever done anything
to merit distinction of any kind; he
holds his commission simply because
he is the son of his father to whom
it is said he bears a striking resemb-
lance. The old vets broke ranks to
fondle him as the vicarious representa-
tive of his father. It is in order then
to inquire what did the elder (nam
ever do to entitle him to what - is
claimed to be a spontaneous overflow
of affection from the hearts of those
who assume to be representatives of
the Lost Cause and of the Southern
people? No satisfactory answer to
this question ever has been or evef
can be given.
As an enemy General Ulysses
Simpson Grant ' displayed qualities
which entitle him to our respect. We
can testify from personal knowledge
that he generally observed the usages
of civilized warfare and except in a
few instances was not unnecessarily
harh in his treatment of those who
fell into his power. Me was presi-
dent of the United States and person-
ally the mos; influential man in the
country during the darkest days of
reconstruction and he might have
done a good deal more than he did to
ameliorate the sufferings of our peo-
ple. He made no serious effort to
stay the tide of hate that rolled over
not bo crowded? Why man there
are men now In the city whose home
are three hundred miles inland away
up In the center of Kant Texan and
they have made the trip to the South-
east Texas nietroKills uKn the bosom
of thla stream you are deriding.
Insignificant forsooth. The Xechcs
river Is destined to add more to the
wealth and glory of Texas than any
other stream within Its border.
Come over and we will take you for
a ride on the best river In the south-
west and when you have returned you
will never again malign the stream
for you will know whereof you speak
forever after. It will be a memory
of delight that will linger with you
