THE MODERATION OF Mr.. RAINET.

THE MODERATION OF Mr.. RAINbl.
There is some reason for surprise and regret
nj the character of Dir. Rainey's indictment OF
the ring of grafters discovered by him at
Panama and Washington. Such a deliVerance
as that which he made in the House Of Repre-
sentatives on Tuesday should be outspoken and
compIete. II should tell the whole truth and
fearlessIy call spade a spade. Suppression OF
or even neglect to tell the whole truth is
scarcely less reprehensbe than the actual
statement or suggestion of untruth. Mr.. Rainey
doubtless meant well. But he failed TO speak
with the full amplitude of his knowledge ana
with the courage of his convictions.
We failed to perceive. for example. in his re-
marks any arraignment OF the Presidentelect
as the man who on q certain historical occa
sion inflicted a buffet blow or other physical
assault upon the person Of William Patterson
There is no denuncation OF Mr.. William Mel
son Cromwell as the author OF Beautiful
Snow" Neither is President Obaldia put Into
the pillory for having amasSed an enormous
fortune through the purloinlng OF candy from
children and the robbery Of blind begSars
Moreover no stronger epithet than "buccaneer
or ''vulture' is applied 70 any of the INSIDE
meapantS. Not one of them is called naughty
rogue or even a parallelopipedon.
On the whole therefore, Mr.. Rainey has
fallen sadly short Of legitimate expectation lie
had an unrivalled opportunity, but failed 10 I'M
prove IT, When he should have been outspoNen
he was meaiy-mouthed and when he should
have been strenuous he pussyfooted. 1t
was n IamentabIe and discouragng failure 10
rise to the height of n great occasion.

RICHLY UERITED TRIBUTE.

However the people of the country may differ
as To the issues involved in the Civil War. there
can he only opinion regarding the bill IN
troduced in the Legislature Of South Carolina
providing for a monument 10 the women OF me
Confederacv Full recognition Of the heroism
of these women has been unanimously accorded
by Northern as well as Southern writer's. and
il is fitting that future generations should have
n visible reminder of the self-SaCrfCe of that
mart of the population which did its heroic work
during four dark years. not to the inspiring
music, of the military band or in that excite
ment of the battlefield which leads to selffor-
gptfuInpss but on the deserted plantation. in
the midst of almost incOnceivable hardships.
In any war the women are called upon 10 carry
fSlly as large share of the burden as the men
1t is not they who bear the arms and who hear
the whistling of the bullets the field Of
bait gray with smoke, but it is the women's
ears that are strained for news from the front.
and the wOmens hearts that ache for those
never to return. For them there is none of the
inspiration which united host creates; they
must carry not only their own burdens, but in
many instances are compelled to pick up those
laid down by the men who have gone 10 the
front.
All that the North suffered during the war
the South suffered twofOld. The South was
drained of its strong men to an extent hardly
conceivable in the North. Not only the
women left to carry almost all the work OF
their country, year after year. with such assist
ance az they could secure from the negroes who
had remained faithful to them, but they were
TO Il large extent deprived Of the means with
which to perform the simplest and most neces
sary tasks. Over and over again the crops they
had planted and hoped to harvest were de-
stroyed and their fields laid waste. Their
homes were in many instances pre-empted by
their enemies, and many of them spent their
days in nursing not only their own soldiers
but also the suffering men in blue. No one will
begrudge the women of the South the mOnu
ment which the men of the South are proposing
10 erect in their honor. 1t is one more merited
tribute to an example of heroism which has
few equals in the history of civilization
