AN UNWORTHY INSINUATl0N.
General Butler Makes Dignifed Reply to q
News and Courier Editorial.

General M. C. Butler, replying to an
editorial insinuation in The News and
Courier Of April 26th, says:
You could not conclude your criti-
cism of my views without indulging in
the following unworthy fling and insin-
uation:
I'VE prefer to accept the views of
General Butler when he was the repre-
sentative of the people Of South Carolina
in the United States senate, rather than
to accept his views now, when he is the
apologist Of the Republican admins
tration, which has bestowed honors and
distinction upon him since his retire
ment from the service of his state and
people"
I shall dismiss this with the simple
remark that experience has taught me
that men of venal, mercenary charac-
ters are prone to impugn the motives
and suspect the honesty of those who
differ with them and against whom
they wish to make point for some sin
lister and underlined purpose.
The president has bestowed" NO
"honors" and distinctions" upon me
which place me under the slightest po-
litical obligations to him. I am con-
ceited enough to believe that "honors'
were about "easy" between us when ]
consented to accept the military ap-
pointment he periodically conferred up
on me. I have lived long enough and
seen enough Of the world to render to a
political opponent full credit for a COM
mendable worthy act, without in the
slightest degree compromising with
him on political differences. President
Mckinley asked nothing in return fol-
the military appointment except the
faithful performance Of duty to the
whole country. That have endeavor-
ed to render, and have reasonable as
surances to believe that, as my COM
mander-in-chief, he was satisfied with
my conduct. Beyond that nothing has
been done or said to justify your inti-
nation that have been warped or in
fiuenced in my political convictions by
his "honors and distinctions" He has
spoken kindly and sympathetically of
my dead Confederate comrades. He
has reposed special and generous con-
fidence in many Of my living Confeder-
ate comrades. With some Of his poll
cies heartily concur, with some can
didly differ, but 7 will not, for the sake
of the cheap applause Of friends or
foes, be betrayed into indiscriminate
condemnation because he is a Republi-
can president.

THE REWARD OF DILLIGENCE.-There

thought the mark little low; but the
boy explained the lessons were very
hard and he had struggled to get his

home the coveted toy.

REPUBLICANS FEEL SAFE.
Says There Is No Truth In the Story That They
Are to Be Deprived of Patronage.

The trip Of Colonel R. M. Wallace, DR..
J. F. Ensor and E. A. Webster to
Washington last weeks says Charles
ton special to the Columbia State,
seems to have been productive Of much
satisfaction to the state Republican or
ganization in that the delegation was
assured that there would be no radical
changes on the part Of the national
party leaders to the state organization.
The delegation called on the assistant
postmaster general and other members
Of the administration and pleasant
meeting was also had with Senator Nc
Laurin and the new district attorney
John G. Capers. The delegation assur-
ed the administration that the South
Carolina organization was not fighting
the administration, as had been claimed
by a Charleston morning newspaper.
The administration did not need assur-
ances on this point, however. The state
ment of the local organization fighting
the national body was too absurd to be
credited. The trip was also taken IN
the interest of Postmaster Ensor's re-
appointment and the delegation was
led to believe that he will be reappoint-
ed.
Colonel Wallace was asked about his
trip today, and he expressed his person
al satisfaction with it. He said that
Dr. Ensor and Mr.. Webster spent seve-
raj days plea sanity in the capital. They
called on the assistant postmaster gen
erals and they also saw Senator Nc
Laurin and John G.. Capers. Their in
terview with the senator and Mr.. Ca

said that he desired the correction
of the statement which had been
printed that the South Carolina or
ganization was opposing the admin
istration. The state party would

application was not on file when the
appointment was made. Colonel Wal
lace said that Senator McLaurin and
the washington fr1ends OF the senator,
do not take the credit for the appoint
ment. The crediting Of the appoint
ment to Senator McLaurin, Colonel
Wallace said, is being done by the op-
ponents Of the senator for his hurt In
his canvass for reelection. Senator Nc
Laurin does stand close to the admins
tration, however, Colonel Wallace said-
but he is not considered Republican
in Washington, and he should be pray
ed to be delivered from those friends
who are trying to make people believe
that he directs the patronage of the ad-
ministration.
Colonel Wallace said that he and Mr..
Webster and DR.. Ensor visited the
postoffice department in the interest OF
the reappointment Of DR.. Ensor as
postmaster at Columbia, and Colonel
Wallace gave it as his opinion that the
efficient administration Of DR.. Ensor
and his strong endorsements will re-
suit in his reappointment.

President Mckinley and Cabinet Now Making

on westward. The party Is travelling In
a special train and is being greeted

Lynchburg, Senator Daniel headed the

Senator Daniel in a speech that pro-

remarkable reception, too. AS he spoke

stration has never been witnessed in

for him to proceed.

Judge Richardson, General Joe Wheel

AS THEY CHoSE.-While waiting for
the train the bride and groom walked
slowly up and down the platform.
"I don't know what this joking and
guying may have been to you," he re-
marked, "but it's death to me. I never
experienced such an ordeal"
Its perfectly dreadful" she answer

They're actually imperinent," ne
went on. "Why, the very natives"
At this unpropitious moment the
wheezy old stationmaster walked up to
them.
"Be you goin' to take this train?" he
asked.
Its none of your business" retorted
the bridegroom, Indignantly, as he
guided the bride up the platform, where
they condoled with each other over the
impertinence of the natives.
Onward came the train, its vapor
curling from afar. It was the last to
their destination that day; an express
nearer, nearer, came at full speed;
then in a moment it whizzed past and
was gone.
why in thunder didn't that train
stop" yelled the bridegroom.
"'Cos you sed 'twarn't none of my

stroked his beard there was wicked
twinkle in his eye.-London Spare Mo-
