Washington, September 28.—Mr.
Harrison has once more humbly bowed
down to the will of a state boss, and
what made it all the more bumiliating
waB that lie bad virtually snubbed the
same boss in the early days of bis ad
ministration, by ignoring all of bis sug
gestions in the making of important ap
pointments, but that was before Mr.
Harrison was attacked with the second
term nightmare, which liaR made him
truckle to men, such as Sonator Quay,
for whom be must naturally feel the ut
most contempt.
The boss who lias won tho latest
victory is Mr. M. II. DeYoung, of Cali
fornia, who demanded a place in tho
cabinet for liis friend, Mr. M. M. Estee,
S as the price of the California delegation
to tile republican national convention
next year. His demand was granted
and Mr. Estee was promised a place in
tlie cabinet when the grand sliako-up,
which is to put Secretary Proctor in the
senate and Attorney-General Miller
tho bench, takes place. It is believed
that Mr. DeYoung also insisted upon
naming the successor to the Mr. Swift,
who was appointed minister to Japan
against the wishes of Mr. Estee and of
boss DeYoung, but it is not certain that
ho succeeded.
Mr. Wanamuker summoned tho dis
trict superintendents of tho railway
mall service to meet here tills week in
order that thoy might have a chance to
answer tho numerous complaints which
have been made against tlio service, and
to doviso some way of hottering tho
same, and lie will not forget to give
each of them confidential instructions
before they leave for their stations con
cerning tlie part that the clerks in tlie
railway mall service are expected to
take in electing or helping to elect
Harrison delegates to the nominating
convention.
The failure of the wealthy Republican
ex-roprosontative, S. V'. White, of New
Y’ork, bettor known as "‘Deacon” White,
has been much talked of lioro where ho
is well known as a congressman and,
later, as a lobbyist for Wall street inter
ests. He was at the head of the lobby
that defeated lion Butterwortii’s bill
against dealing in options on agricul
tural products during the last days of
the last session, and as bis failure was
brought about by attempting to corner
tlie supply of September corn, it will ho
seen that if tlie hill which lie went to so
much trouble and spent so much money
to defeat had become a law, he would
still he a millionaire. When ho was in
congress ho put a ‘‘stock ticker” in the
corridor of the House end of tlie capitol
building, and for a fow days lie actually
ran a branch of his Xew York broker’s
office in tho capitol building, but as soon
as Sonator Carlisle, who was then
speaker of tho House, heard about it
lie had the wunio business cleaned out
in short order.
Sonator Ransom, of Xorth Carolina,
looking as liandsomo as over, dropped
into Washington this week and as lie
was just from home he was eagerly
questioned about the roportod riso of a
third party in ids state. “There is,”
the sonator said, "and, In my judgment,
tlioro will not bo a third party in Xorth
Carolina. The great body of the Farm
ors’ Alliance aro true, consistent and pa
triotic Democrats who will faithfully
stand by tlielr party. Tlioro aro a fow
demagogues in tlio Alliance who would
persuade tlio others to embrace a third
party, or falling in that, will try to get
control of tlio Democratic party for
their own purposes; hut ho this as it
may, tlio Democratic party of Xortli
Carolina is solid and will remain so.”
Tills docs not tally with tho report of
tlie speeches mado by Col. I’olk, of the
National Farmers’ Allianco, hut that is
so much tyc worso for Polk.
Secretary Foster is preparing to go to
Ohio, where ho proposoa to take the
stump for tlio republican ticket aud to
assist tlie political juggling with which
lie is so familiar, and by which ho hopes
to pull McKinley and a republican legis
lature througli in spito of tho real senti
ments of a majority of the Ohio voters.
It is only under civil servico reform
administrations that members of the
cabinot aro allowed to leave their duties
to go upon tho stump In a state cam-
paign.
Tlio plums arc dropping mighty slowly
from tlie white liouso treo, and tlie im-
latiencc among those standing with up-
ifted faces and open mouths is getting
worso and worso, and those of them who
have no votes to offer in exchange are
beginning to bco that thoy aro not “in It.”
Tho Blaino republicans arc, many of
them, beginning to suspect that thoy aro
hoing duped in tho Interest of Mr. Har
rison, aud that there is some truth in
the rumor that as soon as Mr. Harrison
Is certain that ho has secured a sufficient
number of votes to make ills defeat by
any ono outside of Mr. Blaino impossible,
Mr. Blaino will make a formal statement
prohibiting tlie use of his own name and
declaring in Mr. Harrison’s favor. If he
doos there will be a big row in the party.
The County Bate Will Probably He About
100 Per Cent, on the Stato Rate—BIO Per
Thousand the Coat of Citizenship In Sum
ter-New Jell to bo Uullt.
Below is tlie executive order to tax-
collectors, fixing officially the rate of
taxation for the state for 1891.
As heretofore published, this is $6.08
per thousand. To this must bo added
the levy to be made by the county com
missioners for couoty purposes, such as
courts, juries, bridges, etc.
Last year the county rate was $3.00,
This year it will probably be $4.02, as
Sumter county must have more money
than last year, as there will come in the
extraordinary expense of building the
new jail. Hence it is likely that the
county rate, like that of the state, must
be raised; and as $4.92 added to the
state rate makes just $10 per thousand
there is a strong probability that this is
what the commissioners will do.
This is not howovor official; the Board
has not yet met, but will do so at once
in order to enable tlie tax collector to
make up ids hooks and go ahead with
tho collection of taxes.
Owing to tlio delay in the action of
the legislature, tlie work is over a month
behind last year, and it will take some
weeks yet for tax collectors to make tlie
thousands of calculations for each sep
arate amount and individual, especially
if an uneven amount is fixed. If tlio
joint rato is put at $10 per thousand,
Tax Collector Dunn can get ready to
take in the shekels inside two weoks; if
the rate is an uneven amount it may do-
lay his woik until toward November 1
The regular meeting of tho county
commissioners is on Monday, October 5,
hut it is likely that they will meet in
extra session at once so as to help Col
lector Dunn forward.
Executive Department, Atlanta,
September 2(1.—Pursuant to section one
of tax act, approved December 2.1, 1800,
and amended by an act, approved Sep
tember 20, 1801, which requires tlie gov
ernor, with tlio assistance of the comp
troller-general, to levy a percentage on
tlie taxable property of this stato suf
ficient to meet the requirements thereof,
not to exceed a certain per cent, named

stato subject to taxation ad valorem for
general purposes; and it is further
Ordered, That in addition to tlio three
and five-tenths of one per cent, above
ordered, an extra per cent, of ono and
one-third tenths of ono per cent, be as

viding for the support of common
schools, upon tho amount of tho taxable
property returned by or assessed against
eacli Lax-payer, and upon the vnluo of nil

ad valorem; and it is further
Ordered, Tliatiu additiqp to tho three

dredths of ono per cent, he assessed and

value of all property in tlie state subject
to taxation ad valorem; tho whole mak
ing five and eight one hundredths mills,
for all purposes for tlio fiscal year 1891.

SIX TRIED FOR IIL'IttlLAItY.
Hut Three Released In Absence of Hultt-

Tho trial of tho six men arrested for
burglarizing the stores of E. S. Ferguson
and Simmons & Bagley at DeSoto on the
night of August 28, was held yesterday

City of Mexico, Sept. 29.—A gentle
man who left the city ot Guiiteumla on
the morning of the 18th iust., and who
reached this city on horseback from tlie
Me.'~'can port of Acapulco, brings the
Information tiiut an outbreak occurred
in Guatemala city on the 15th inst., and
was still in progress when he left. Tile
people were celebrating the anniversary
of the national holiday, and President
Barillas hae peasonully appointed the
orators of the day.
The people objected to this, aud when
the orators took the rostrum they were
put to flight amid n shower of stones.
Every Barrillaa partisan was driven
from the piazza Tlie uproar was some
thing long to be remembered. Mem
bers of tlie mob shouted: " Let's storm
the national palace, kill Barrilhis and
restore a Republican form of govern
incut. Guatemala should not lie ruled
by a dictator. The plundering of the
national treasury must cease."
Barillas then ordered the artillery
into the plaza, and tile infantry and two
cannous to guard his residence. When
the guns were turned on tlie mob there
was u general dispersing of them,
though they discharged revolvers at tlie
artillery men. They left tlie plaza, lint
fought inside the streets; in fact during
the night of the 15th they held full con
trol of tlie city.
A s|ieeinl to Tlio Anglo-American
from Newton, on the line between Gua
temala and Mexico, received here and
delivered by special courier, brings the
information that Barillas is muster of
the situation, he having put down the
revolt after three days of hard lighting,
Tlie arrivals of troops fr >m tlie ad
joining districts eventually restored
Barillas to power and the whole city is
now infested with soldiers. Martial
law has been declared.
A dispatch received here says fully
five hundred lives were sacrificed in the
three days' fighting, and that President
Bniillas is still shooting down the par-
ticipahts in tlie revolt as if they were
beasts.
DEPOSED FOR HERESY.
Thu Action of the Episcopal Church In
the MacUacarjr Case.
Alliance, O., Sept. 29.—Bishop Leon
ard of Cleveland, was in tlie city to
attend consecration services at Trinity
Episcopal church. In an interview
concerning the deposition of Hev. How
ard Mai-Queary, the young Episcopal
minister of Cautou, from the church
for heresy, tlie bishop snid: "Tlie ac
tion was u necessity on tlie part of tlie
church. When a minister stmlies tlie
creed of a religious sect and then takes
an oath to preach snch creed, lie is
hound to follow out that course. If
later lie finds that lie cannot conscien
tiously preach such creed and that ills
belief differs from it, it is iiis duty to
withdraw from the church. Rev. Mac-
Queavv was tried by liis peers, and it
was opposite to that of the Episcopal
church. Ho was given ample time iu
which to retract, but this lie refused to
do. and he also refused to recognize my
authority as bishop. Tlie only step left
was to deiKise him from tlie church, and
this was done last weeek. This severs
his connection with tlie Episcopal church
forever, and puts a final end to the mat
ter. ”
"Do yon think Rev. MacQneary will
seek redress in the civil courts now - /”
was asked.
"No,” said tho bishop. "He can ac
complish nothing in that way now. The
civil courts can give no redress. He
failed to live up to the oath of allegiance
to the church and consequently lie was
de|a>sed. 1 hat ends the matter forever.
have no doubt that Rev. MacQneary
is sincere i» wiial lie preaches, and 1 do
not think he 1ms acted with a view to
creating a sensation in the religions
world; but creeds are unalterable, mid
he certainly should have withdrawn
from tlie church of his own free will.”
