SAN JAOINT0 DAY.


This is the day for which all
Texans look forward with fond an
ticipation, and to which they look
backward with pardonable pride.
| 1t is the day that sweetened with
its triumph the bitterness Of the
Alamo massacre and wiped out the
last hope of Mexican control. All
Texans and all lovers of popular
government everywhere, will re.
joice in the recurrence Of the day
and give thanks for the victory
that marked the ability Of the
handful of patriots, who had en-
barked their fortunes with the
destinies of the Lone Star state, to
carve out for themselves a state in
which self government would be
the chief corner stone. The bitter
ness of that struggle dies out in the
procession OF the ages. Its men,
cries live, sweeten with years and
grow immortal. The compensa-
tions of time are abundant.
Over against the Alamo is set San
Jacinto. This day we remember
both and recoice in them. Rejoice
in the heroism of the Alamo, be-
lieving that to live grandly and to
die heroically is better than to live
eternally on a lower plane. Be-
lieving that the example of that
defense that called for the last SUI
preme sacrifice of patriots, death,
is worth more to the generations
that peopled the state than the
prolonged lives of those defenders
possibly could have been. Believ-
ing that death in such guise as
came to these heroes is the grand
est passport to Immortality that
human actions can give. Believ-
ing this, we forget not the bloody
sacrifices of that day, but con-
it to holy memories,
turn from it to that other day six
weeks later, this day, San Jacinto
day, and bowling reverently at
the shrine of sacrifice, proudly
raise our heads to front the hours
OF victory. In this spirit we
bring flowers, and wreaths of
laurel, and the bays that crown the
victors, and the arch of triumph,
and in the mimic contest Of the
flowers recall the raging Of that
sterner conflict that engulfed a
state. Engulfed it only for sea-
son, but out of which it emerged
a stronger, freer, more worthy and
grander commonwealth. There
is nothing that has contributed to
form 80 glorious fabric as that Of
this Lone Star state, that is I'M
worthy OF note and glad comment
grafton. How much more then,
that browning effort of the early
patriots, who plucked the jewel Of
victory from the mailed hand Of
despotism and striking the crown
of the oppressor from his head laid
it in the dust. Buried all the Bit
terness of that strife. Alive for
evermore the memories of that
victory, the grand results that it
achieved, and the lessons of death
less devotion to liberty that it il
Illustrated. All these are precious
to us in this day of our rejoicing;
this day of flowers; SAN JACINTo
