Southwestern Historical Quarterly
has taught us to work and has spoiled the colored man for work.
The South has endured suppression with dignity and has grad-
ually again won a place for itself. Time, the omnipotent, smoothes
and heals, dulls hatred and embitterment, and brings about re-
conciliation. The trampled fields of the Southern States again
produce bountiful crops, and Southern opinion, after twenty years,
was instrumental in placing a Democratic President at the head
of the government (Cleveland).
What progress has been made. What an increase in population.
In the remotest parts of Texas, ranches with great herds of cattle,
settlements, and cities are to be found. The Indian has been dis-
lodged and is almost a myth. Railroads cross the country and con-
nect the great distances of our territory. Small villages grow into
large cities with stately buildings, churches, opera houses. Our
schools are excellent. Science and art have almost become native.
Every luxury of the old world is available to a filled pocketbook.
All of this I acknowledge with a feeling of satisfaction and pride,
and yet, I have a feeling of melancholy, yes, a feeling of home-
sickness for the lost idyl of my own youth and of the youth of
Texas.384
