ments, historians and poets have eel
ebrated and made secure the memory
of the triumphant Federals. 1t is left
for the children of the defeated sol
diers to preserve the unwritten rec
in the hearts of future generations
the respect and love due the valiant
men of the South who fought as they
sincerely believed for the protection
of their homes and firesides.
Pulled up by victory, there was I'M
til age began creeping on a certain ar
rogance or boastfulness in the north
ern soldier, which for a time kept
open the wounds of the South. But
that is happily passing away. The
s~outherners, humbled by defeat and
broken from the desolation wrought
by the invaders was greatly discour-
aged, yet has been more forgiving
than the North.
1t seems to be human nature to
hold resentment longer against a man
one has wronged than against one
who has wronged us. The humility
of defeat often makes better men
than the citation Of success-and such
has been largely the result of the CT
vii War. In the actual warefare the
South vas conquered, but in accept
ing the fortunes of war, devotion to
restoring what she had lost and in re-
newed loyalty to a common country
the South has won a victory greater
than those received with loud acclaim
and decorated with honors official.
Give the glory to the blue if you
wish-but it is love and sympathy
justice and truth we would accord
the men who wore the gray. AS none
love them better than the sons and
daughters, it is their duty to organize
to the end that friends, not enemies
or cold-blooded intellectual indiffer-
ence, shall argue their case to future
generations. Let loving hands weave
\ garlands of affection to temper the
harsh judgments of those who will
Tread only the inscriptions chiseled in
marble and know not the character
of the men who laid down their lives
in a cause that failed.

For the information of the Regis
ter will say hat the Republican gov
ernor Of New Mexico was the first i'm
portant parsonage to publicly dvo
cat a "non-partisan" constitutional
convention. The governor no doubt
thought that in their generosity the
Pecos Valley Democrats would be
willing to divide up with the Repub-
licans, and he was unsophisticated
enough also to believe that the Repub
licans In other parts of the Territory
were really interested in having a
constitution framed for the benefit of
al the people. The Democratic dele
gates from the Pecos Valley in that
convention will probably work with
such Republicans as are really in IA
vor of statehood, and against such De
mocrats from Arizona as are opposed
to it, while such Republicans of the
old Santa Fe gang as get into the con
vention will doubtless join certain
Democrats of Arizona in the conspir-
acy to draw up such a constitution
thai the people will vote it down.
