Heroism Rewarded.

Every one has heard of the youth
ey on the street and returned 1t to the
rich man who lost 1t, was angry be-
cause the man gave him only a quarter
of dollar as a reward for his honesty
Those who are honest only in hope of
reward, says Youths Companion, de-
serve the contempt of all decent peo-
pie. There are even heroes who hope
for reward. The captain of small
yawl who, with his crew, rescued the
passengers and crew of stranded
steamship off the New Jersey coast In
January was not of that sort He
risked his life for others, and when
the Carnegie hero fund commissioners
began to make inquiries about his ex-
plot, he told them not to mind him,
but to take care of his crew If they
wished to reward anyone; then If any
thing was left, and they insisted, they
might do something for his little boy.
AS a result of this convincing proof
of his heroic qualities, the commission
ers have given him 81 500 to pay off the
mortgage on his home, and have Sc!
aside $4,000 for the education of his
boy. And the best feature of this Incl
dent is that the hero of it does not
think that he did anything worthy OF
special recognition.

What is the difference between
slang and poetry?" asked a bantam
weight philosopher the other day. 1T
all depends on who wrote it. If one
man writes it. it is poetry; if another
writes it, it is slang. All the slang
that Walt Whitman created is called
poetry. All the poetry written by
George AIDE is called slang. Slang is
poetry before it has taken out its Ii
cense. That's the only difference. If
you write about the snow upon the old
mans brow that's poetry; if you
speak of the alfalfa on the old man S
chin that's slang. | challenge the

Mayor Mcclellan, of New York, in a
speech complimentary to a member
retiring from the school board made
a remark concerning him that perhaps
explains why some men succeed in pub

said: He has succeeded, he is sue
cessful, because he has a rugged sense
of honor and three extra senses-com-

Governors chair, but that it dates
from the very first consignment
of whiskey to the State dispen-
sary, and. just as soon as the
people learned that no credits
for rebates appeared upon the
books of the State Dispensary,
there has a constant wonder
what become of them. These
things will loom up before the
Senator the coming summer,
when he undertakes to coerce the
people to vote for his personal
advantages, regardless of their
own. In our opinion, Senator
Tillman is playing with FIRE
which will destroy him. We do
not know now who will oppose,
him, but he is playing a game
to invite opposition good, and
strong, that he, nor can the class
of politicians he will be able to
muster withstand.

lenged in an court ii, this land, and in
any case before said court, on the
grounds that the witness, testifying is
South Carolina Confederate veteran.
We cannot see any justice or even
any sense in any law that would allow
pensioners to testify for one another in
all other cases. and then not allow
them to testify in matter of an appli-
can't for pension.
Surely it would be no interest to &
pensioner, viewing the matter from a
selfish standpoint, to witness for an
applicant, for every pensioner is fully
aware of the fact tnat additional pen
sioners only lessons their pittance doled
out by the State.
The Confederate veterans though
many are poor and needy are the rem
nant of a band of gallant patriots, and
not gang of unprincipled Williams and
perjurers.
Make the rugged pathway of life
smooth as best you can for the old de-
crepit tottering veterans by treating
them kindly and with compassion and
trust him, and take his word and trust
ed his strong arm and valor for the
four long and bitter years. that tried
mems souls.
The shadows Of the old veterans are
growing longer, and their sun fast
sinking towards The western horizon,
and in few more short years the last
one will have answered to the last roll
call on these mundane shores, and will
have crossed over the river and with
comrades gone before, ''rest under the
shade of the trees"

have, and ever will feel keen interest

THREATS WON'T 60.

Senator Tillman is not in a
pleasant humor over the action
of the South Carolina Legisla-
ture, and he has started out with
a vigorous popping Of his whip
to frishten the Senators into

interment. The Senator is strong
with the people, there is no
doubt, and especially the class
of people who manipulate pri-
mary elections, but unless we
mistake the signs of the times,
his day for dictation is passed,
and if he wants to return to the
United States Senate he will do
we'll to take his medicine like a

tor Tillman will find that when
he again undertakes to STIR up

schrewdly devised schemes, he

THE POOR MANS BURDEN.

We have been writing editor
ials on the tax problem, and
they have attracted the atten-
ton of the people generally: they
have also put many writers to
thinking of the serious condition
our trusted public servants have
the taxpayers in. We have con-
tended ali along that the pro
posed change as directed by the
Couptroller General can only
put the honest taxpayers at a
disadvantage, and the dishonest
taSpaver. not only shirks lis
duty as a citizen, but actually
puts an additional burden upon
the honest man who regards his
oath and his loyalty to his coun-
try. There is not the slightest
doubt in our mind, but that Gov
ernor Hayward will see the ne
cessity to call a special session
of the legislature to prevent the
honest man from being wronged.
The expense Of such a session
will not be near as much as the
amount stolen from the taSpay-
ers in the vhiskey label trans
action alone, and it viii be 4
mere bagatelle to the enormous
amount of money that will be
needlessly forced from the poch-
cts Of the people by this increas-
ed assessment Of property with,
out first having provided for a
sufficient lowering of the tax
levy. The Columbia State Of last
Sunday contained a cartoon
which fully describes the inequal-
ity of the situation. and by its
courtesy we reproduce it. This
cartoon is convincer, it is IN
concrete form: an argument which
must appeal to every reasoning
mind, and which urges the peo-
pie to stop putting into Office
incompetent men, and to scorn
any attempt Of a political dema-
gogue to arouse prejudice for
office riding purposes. This car
toon is an appeal to every voter
to exercise his franchise in a
sane and manly way, not for the
qualification of a political monte
bank. not to save men from the
almshouse, and not to elevate
s:jolly good fellows, but to have
our government placed. upon
competent and honest, just and
equitable business principles,
so that every taxpayer shall
be equal before the law.
Our present condition is such,
brought on by political manipu-
lation,. that the rich escape their
ustproportion Of taxation, throw
Ing the load upon the poor who
must bear the burden, and the
only way to escape this wretch
ed condition, is to lay aside fool
ish prejudices famed into fame
by a demagogue for his selfish
purposes, and to stand up like
men to put into power those Of
brain and patriotism.

T.eat The Confederate Applicant Fair.

South Carolina does grandly in ap-
propriating two hundred thousand dol
lars to be distributed among her sol
diers that served their country, both in
the armies of the Confederate States
and of the State.
The two hundred thousand dollars is
money known as pension fund and the
law in regard to pensions, provides, the
pensioners shall be classed by letters
\. B. c. ETC., and each pensioner draws
the amount of money apportioned out
by letter and their neediness generally,
certain amounts of the pension appro-
priation.
The applicant must as provided by
law, establish the fact that he was a
bonafde Confederate soldier, by two
disinterested witnesses, who of their
own knowledge, know that the appli-
cant was a soldier, or is the widow OF a
soldier, who was in the military service
of the Confederate States or Of the
State
This requirement OF the pension law
as to indemnity, has been quite an easy
matter with many, while 3sa many
others, it is hardship on 'f55le old
soldiers.
During that four years of bloody car
/ mage, these old now feeble and decrepit
applicants, in full vigor of life and
their young manhood. when the fray
| was on, had place in the picture, and
that picture place close to the flash
ing of the guns.
Then the Confederate soldier was be-
lieved and confded in without require
ing OF him any iron clad test to prove
that he was Confederate soldier.
Remember that forty years and
more, has elapsed since the last gun
flashed for the independence OF the
Confederate States, and many, many
changes has taken place since that his
torical event.
April 9th, 1865 after suffering the
bitter pangs of hunger, the tortures of
intense cold the previous winter. rag

noblest army ever marshalled on this
continent succambed. aud surrendered

Returning to devasted homes and
country, and entering the different
pursuits of life for living. caused
many of the old soldiers to scatter and
are now living in all parts of the coun-
try.
All these disadvantages that operate
against many old soldiers and widows
of the SAME, should be taken into con-
sideration by the legislature and guide
legislators in making pension laws in
behalf of needy Confederate applicants
aud the widow applicants Of Coniedate
soldier, and that without so many strict
exactions and SO much red-tapeism.
The pension law ought to be amended
as to witnesses, so as to alloE a pen
sioner or pensioners to testify for an
applicant if it should be necessary.
A Confederate soldier, whether a
pensioner or non-pensioner should be
allowed to testify of his own knowledge
as to an applicant for 4 pension and to
his being a Confederate veteran or the
widow of a Confederate veteran.

pensioners testimony would be chal-
