After five years of the so-called watch
ful waiung the Mexican Question has
now resolved itseli into a mutter oi

To Hie United States they perhaps rep
resent primarily the termination of what
n.uj be justly termed tile most disgfaee
lui period in American history a period
in which the honor of tiie nation has
l ecu insulted and trampled upon, in
which its citizens have been reviled and
murdered, in v inch its pledges and ob
ligations to men and nations have been
ruthlessly disregarded, broken and for
gotten. Also, they may mean the be
ginning of a period of strife and blood
sbel. of euuntless dead, of ruined homes
and shattered lives, of mighty losses and
tremendous wastes.
To both nations they mayhap represent
tiie uplifting of a new horizon, a new
future, the beginning of a new chapter
in the national history whose pages shall
be first scribed in rubr.e lines and whose
• od no man may guess.

Ha- one for tilings inflicted, to the oilier
Jur things endured. They arc fateful
days upon whose fleeting i.oura and min -
ut»s fate may be building strange and
varied things
Perhaps beyond that brief period oi
time wim h has been allotted to Mexico,
in which she may consider that which
has been and what shall be, lies the
dawning of the saddest period in the
i.lsiory of both nations.
