Jefferson Davis
Honored By Nation
Boston Transcript.
Time was, and that not so many;
years ago, when the dedication of
a statue of Jefferson Davis th Stat
uary Hall, In .the Capitol at Wash
lngton. would have raised a great!
commotion. Even now there are
doubtless some respectable mem
bers of the community who will or ■
shocked by the quiet ceremony this
week under the dome of the na
tion's great hall of legislation. They j
will regard the erection of a noble
statue of the President of the Con- (
federate Btutes, In this sacred spot,
as a surrender to treason, as a na
tional scandal. Yet these people
mu.t now be few. It Is probable
that the majority of American citi
zens, in all sections of the country,
| will regard the proceeding not only
with complacency, but with satis
faction. The Chdl War Is over. By !
settled custom, each Btate In the
Union has a right to place In that
hall two statues or busts ot persona
whom the authorities of that State
regard as their most distinguished
citizens. Mississippi Is & Btate la
the Union, on the same basis-—nor
j—as any other State. And certainly
! Mississippi never had a cltlsen mors
! distinguished than Jefferson Davis.
The dedication of the statue, which
appears to be a good one, will raise
the average of merit, both personal
and artistic, of tills curious old cir
cular hall, which on account of the
1 ugliness of many of Its memorial1.
I and the fact that a good many of
| the subjects of them have long
j since fallen Into oblivion, has some
j times been called the "Chamber of
Horrors," t
In the days of the Civil War. and.
for some time afterward, a really (
monstrous opinion of Jefferson Da- J
vis was entertained In the North.!
He was tire archtraitor, the chief;
conspirator, against the welfare of
the nation. When he was made a
prisoner after the collapse of the
Confederacy, thousands clamored
for his immediate execution. No
doubt he was generally regarded as
a very bad man. But he was never1
a bad man. On the contrary, he was!
personally a man of high character!
and of blameless life. He was sin-!
cerely devoted to the doctrine u;
; State rights—a fact which did net
prevent him from being a lover of
i the Union up to the days when the
i final clash arose, and when he felt
i himself constrained to regard the
! attempt to suppress secession by
[force as a wanton Invasion of the
rights of the Southern States. As
President of the Confederacy he
, fought the war to the best of hln
ability and with a merciful Inten
tion. Born In what Is now Todd
county, Kentucky, not very far from
where Abraham Lincoln was born
In Hardin county, he bore, in char
acter and quality, some traits that
were like those of Lincoln. It was
an Interesting trick of fate that
sent his father. Samuel Davis, to
the southward, and Thomas Lincoln
and his son to the northward, and
arrayed these two Kentuckians,
comrades of the Blaekliawk war.
against each other in the chief;
magistracy of their respective sec-1
tlons. Both men, as presidents, were j
bitterly opposed by some of their!
followers. Both were accused of in-1
action. Both, no doubt, had their
faults. Davis’ were those of vanity,
and ohstinacy. But both were men
of high Ideals—both were statesmen j
and each one left a heroic record
The name of Jefferson Davis is
justly revered in the South today,
and there Is no reason why It should
j not be honored In the North. The
! placing of this statue in the Capi
j tol, so far from being In any sense
| an Irritation .should serve as a re
minder to the whole country that;
the animosities which were moused
! by the Civil War may now be buried
in oblivion.
