Editor Daily Commonwealth:
enclose an editorial clipped from the "New
York World. of Nov. 28th which | should be glad
to have you publish. The majority of our people
appreciate what our beloved South endured in her
noble struggle for Constitutional liberty. l hear
though, occasionally, from very young men, flip
pant, disparaging references to the "hardships
and sufferings' of our people in those trying days,
'privations and sacrifices" which this Northern
writer thinks harder to endure than the terrible
in Belgium, Poland and Servia. In this
connection l beg to refer to the lamentable indiffer
ence of our young people as to the history of that
epoch. The ignorance as to the actual occurances
OF the four years of bloody strife and to the
causes leading to it are truly surprising when one
thinks of the apparent eagerness for information
generally. Yours truly,
P. W. SHEARER.
