NEWBERRY, S. C.
TIIURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 18S5.
THE SCHIRMER CASE.
The board of visitors of the South
Carolina Military Academy have a
way of adjusting difficulties that is
simply wonderful. Such a genius for
compromise was never exhibited be
rore by any body of men. hIardly
anything short of inspiration could
have effected a settlement of the mat
ter brought before them. that is so
beautifully adapted to please nobody.
A numher of Cadets charged Cadet
Schirmier. a sergeant of the corps,
with being ""guilty of conduct unbe
coming a gentleman." The board af
ter a laborious inquiry into the
charge. adopted a resolution that in
effect entirely exonerates Cadet
Schirmer.
This to soothe Cadet Schirmer
But the other side must not be left
wholly comfortless. Hence another
resolution.
Resolred. That considering all- the
facts and circumstances developed,while
the board has acquitted Cadet Schirmer
in the Court of Inquiry, of the charge
affecting his eh:racter as a gentleman,
vet in its judgment his original appoint
ment was inexpedient, in that these
facts and circunst:aIces had not exhibi
ted in the Cadet ctualiiications enabling
him to discharge the duties of an officer
ut-efually to the Academy. Cadet Schir
ner's appointment as a sergeant, of the
torns is therefore hereby revoked.
This to soothe the other cadets.
The facts and circumstances, so far
as published, show nothing that could
have any relation to Cadet Schirmer's
fitness for the place he held, except
in so far as t lose facts and circum
stances affected his ch'aracter as a
gentleman.
Col. Thomas not having been in
harmony with the board for some
time, tendered his resignation, and
the iboard adopted a resolution in

as is not happy, and if the other two
parties interested in the case are sat
isfied with the decision of tile board
they are easily satisfied.
THE FARMERS' CONVENTION.
We have watched with consideta
ble interest the proceedings of the
Bennettsville meeting. We don't
pretend to know muuch about agricul
ture, but this we do know, that
some farmers are in the same condi
tion. and we feel very certain that
. every meeti::g of this kind will teach
many something which they did not
know before
This is a day of united effort and
cooperation, and every interest which
is alive~, and hopes to advance must
conform to the modern law or pro
gress.
There is nothing like atn inter
change of ideas, to quicken interest
and activity in any business.
There should be in every county of
the State a Farmer-s' Association, just
as there should be a Teachers' Asso
ciation. a Medical A ssociation. t.nd a
lBar A ssociation.
The meeting seemLs to h.wve been a
pleasant one, and we have no doubt
that it will result in profit to the
farming interest of the State.

CURTIS PATS CLEVELAND ON THE
BACK. T
Mr. George William Curtis is a ord
m ugwump of the mugwanps. and it "I
is gratifying to find him congratula
ting nngwunps and the country gen- w
erally, on President Cleveland's ree- ner
ord as a civil service reformer. In ast
recent address before the Civil Ser- the
vice l;eformI League, Mr. Curtis was te
pleased to say that the present IiE
Administration had done more for T
reform than any that preceded it. that
.anyv
Whi, Democratic or Republican. Any
We readily admit the truth of er,
the statement with which 31r. Cur- S. (
tis starts out, that neither the Re- obv
>ublican nor the 1)emnocratic party. to
vies
as such, is "distinctly and consistent- do 1
lv" a civil service reform party. Mr. res;
Curtis might have gone further and sire
predicted without fear that neither "fe
the Republican nor the Democratic,
nor any other party ever would be hop
"distinctly and consistently" a civil Rai
service reform party. aba
The Democratic party is and al- and
wei.
ways has been a civil service reform
party. though not in a imugwumpianl aug
sense. It believes in honesty and cai- any
pacity in office. and it believes that gla
just a little more of these qualifica- of t
isin
tions exist within the party than else
where. There will always be in both lie
parties number of men doubtless lion- kno
est and intelligent who believe in ,it, t
Mr. Curtis's kind of civil service re
form but the vast majority of the
. .peaw
rank and file of any party in this
country will continue to believe that so
spis"and
"to the victor belongs the spoils.' had
There is a large number of Republi- abo
can office-holders, who, just at pres
ent, are no doubt ardent admirers of
the Civil Service Law. but their ad- ce
den
iniration is liable to cease at any hasl
moment.
The whole address of Mr. Cuttis is
interesting from an Independent
sou
stand-point and quite flattering to and
Mr. Cleveland and the present ad- fact
ministration.
A MATCH FOR THE GEORGIA inc
SOLON. fact
We did hope that to Georgia would
be left the unhappy distinction of
producing the only man who did not
FR'
know there was such a thing as pro
priety, and who hasn't the sensibili
ty to keep quiet in the presence of Tm
death.
But the IIonea Path Plaiulcaler"
seems anxious to emulate the example
of the backwoods Georgia statesman j
.who made himself the laughing stock tim
of the whole country a few days ago. soo
With some editorial comments mo
favorably with anything Mr. IIarri- and
son could have uttered, it proceeds mat
to give under the heads of "Consis 'the
cency" and "inconsistency" extr'acts til
from v-jrious papers on the death of th1is
Gen. Grant. Among the papers Ade
which come up to its idea of "incon- as
sistency" it places the iw'n-:tmtY mo~
roat
HEiR.umn MD NEw. Ede
T he Plaiundeder is in the wrong
place. It ought to cemigirate to Geor- nini
gia. It ought to emigrate to Mr. Sen
Harrison's section of' Georgia. entl
Since the P!aiArlealer prizes con sis- por:
tency so highly we are satisfied it the
would find most delightful compan- gus'
ionship with Mr. IHarrison. We I an
know little of the Plaindealer' and1 less to
of Mr. Harrison, but we are satisfied br
that no one will ever charge the*
Georgia statesman or the Plaindealer I
with inconsistency in one particular. jbert

MR. EATON REPENTANT. dr
Mr, Eaton is now regretting the the;
naughty words he saidl about the
Newberry Olbsercer', and trying to!
persuade the Obser'ter' that it was to ar

duces the authority of Secretary La- at pm

very goodl sort of' fellow after all. seny
