WHITE FEATHER.
A Coward That Was
n Hero

There is no need to mention the name
of his regiment here. That is a secret
that belongs to the army alone.
Suffice it to say that his comrades
are proud of his name
He should never have entered the ar
my at all, much less n hard riding cav
airy regiment which had a reputation
TO sustain by yearly tribute of broken
necks and collar bones.
His proper vocation was that of a
linen Diapers assistant, and he had
filed that occupation very satisfacto-
rily till one evil day he had fallen in
love with a girl. silly, shallow girl, at
whom no practical man or boy would
have taken 4 second look.
He adored her, and she adored SOL
diers. In their walks abroad she would
direct his steps toward the Horse
guards or Wellington barracks, that
she might gaze in admiration at the
fine, strapping soldiers who were to be
seen there, and every time she pinched
his arm and exclaimed, ooh, Jack, look
at that lovely soldierr' his heart gave
him a pang at the thought that he was
only a diapers assistant, with nothing
in common with the military but the
handling of red CLOTH He was a dream
er by nature, and falling in love did
not lessen his weakness in this direc-
ton. Dreaming is pardonable in a
poet, but an objectionable crime in a
linen diapers assistant, and as he
stood at his counter his mind was far
away from his work. Instead of lis
tening to the "Forwardr' of the shop
walker he could only hear the short
flung word of command and the blare
of the bugleS that sounded through his
dreams; wherefore it was not long be-
fore he came into conflict with his prac-
teal chief. A few sharp words passed.
He threw up in three seconds a posi-
ton it had taken six years of hard, I'M
RENTING labor to attain. Then he en-
listed.
He gained his title on his first dis
play in the riding school, where after
a short ride on the neck of the riding
masters pet buck jumper. he turned
deathly pale and cried aloud that he
might be allowed to dismount.
The horse at once gratified his desire
by throwing him on to the tan. where
he lay trembling in every limb. much

riders who We're standing by. They
were quick to inform their respective
squadrons. and, his former occupation
being known, he was promptly chris

the more hardy recruits to take him

of threepence farthings' worth of

The older men forbore to join in with
these somewhat firing repetitionS of

own experiences in the riding school

Above all else, private interest, the
interest Of it's city, and the interest OF
it's state, The News and Courier is 10y
al to what it conceives to be the we'll
fare of it's party. 1t is not always with
the party. When it believes the party
is wrong, as it believed in the case OF
free silver, it holds aloof. 1t knows, or
course, that as a seaport, Charleston
would be benefited by the ship subsidy
bill: but it does not believe in the sub
sidy principle anymore than 1t does In
the protection principle, which Is close
akin. Its politics are sentimental rath-
er than practical; but there Is one fact
that proves it's honesty. 1t generally
confines itself to legitimate argument,
never Intentionally distorts fact, and
refrains absolutely from the practice OF
making charges that it cannot sustain.

it up as an effort to egg the house on
to the passage Of the resolution. Leg
islature is used; but, of course, house
is meant, as no senator has been fool
ish enough to introduce such resolu-
ton. Anyhow, on it's face, the sugges-
ton is open to the idea that The State
itself would construe refusal to CEN
sure McLaurin as a censure of Sena-
tor Tillman. At least so one would be-
lieve, if he believed that The State
really meant what it said. But the
house acted and by a vote Of 5S to A,
tabled the McMaster resolution. This
was on Wednesday, and here Is the
way The State squirmed on Thursday
morning:
The house, by vote Of 3S to "A, has
tabled the resolution condemning SEN
ator McLaurin for his votes in favor
of the army bill and the Hanna ship
subsidy grab. There is no reason to
believe that this action Is intended as
an endorsement Of the senator's action;
but inasmuch as it may be construed
as such by him and his supporters, 1t
dorsement down to a more precise test
by now offering a resolution approving
his action on these bills. If the house
shall vote for such a resolution 1t Will
make it's position unmistakable; If 1t
shall reject it the conclusion will be
equally clear. Since the issue has
been made it is desirable that there
shall be an expression by the house
which will mean one thing or the other.
Let Mr.. McMaster try again on the
opposite tack.
The "3S" quoted above, we are will
ing to concede, is a typographical er-
ror. In the report of the proceedings
The State had it So, which is correct.
We hardly think The State would de-
|liberately falsify the record with no
more substantial object in view than
making the result appear a few votes
closer. But we submit that in the first
paragraph there was an effort to make
it appear that failure to act would be
liable to logical construction as en-
dorsement, while in the second para
graph, after the vote, there Is an ef-
fort to dodge out of the original prop
osition. All of which Is consistently
along the line of The States attitude
toward Senator McLaurin, whom 1t
will not treat fairly.
However inconsistent and unfair
The State is, we do not wish it under
stood that we construe the action OF
the house as endorsement Of the posi-
ton of Senator McLaurin. 1t Is certain
that the senator has many friends In
the house; but the vote does not neces-
sarily declare any Of them. More than
anything else, this vote shows that the
house recognizes that it had no busi-
ness whatever with the McMaster res
olution and that it did not propose to
stultify itself by interfering with that
with which it had no business.

THE M'LAURIN RESOLUTIONS.

The Columbia State is intensely cha
grined at the failure Of the house TO
make a fool of itself by censuring SEN
ator McLaurin for doing what he con-
ceives to be his duty in the United
States senate.
Upon the introduction of the anti
McLaurin resolution. The State Virtu-
ously indicated it's intention to leave
the Legislature without advice TO act
upon it's judgment. What it thought
of course, we do not know; but we pre-
sumo that it figured that it had already
fiy-blown the senator sufficiently 10
warrant his immediate condemnation
by the set of yokels it evidently con-
siders the members of the Legislature
to be. Therefore. it refrained for the
moment, from adding more spiteful
comments to those already published.
But the house was rather slow IN
acting on the McMaster resolution,
and it began to look as If the matter
was going over until the next session.
So in it's issue of Tuesday, The State
remarked:
Does the legislatures failure to con-
denim McLaurin's senatorial course I'M
ply condemnation of the senatorial
course of Senator Tillman? Since the
two senators have taken directly oppo-
site and antagoniStic positions on the
issues of the day. some logically dis
posed person may be drawing conclu-
sions. The State, of course. is not sup
posed to have an opinion on the sub
ject.
People who know The State as we'll
as we do, would at once consider this
to mean almost anything. We sized
