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 therein, and after approximating, as nearly as practicable, the amount of all taxable property in the state, as exhibit ed on digests and other returns, it is Ordered, That three and five-tenths of one per cent.

Hut Three Released In Absence of Hultt- clent Evidence. 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 and resulted in tlio release of Henry Rceso, liobt. Webster and .Sol. Beatty on account of insufficient evidence. The other three implicated wore Miles Scott, Rich Watkins and Grant Stewart, who will bo tried before Judge I’ilsbury at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. It will he reiuembored that tlie burg lars rilled Messrs. Simmons & Bagley's cash drawer of about $7 in small change, not being able to open tho safe, while they carried tlie small safo of Mr. Fer guson one mile from the store, aud breaking it 0|>cn, secured in tlie neigh borhood of $150, with wbicli they made off. 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.” SCHOOL SHOES 1 We are prepared to supply romp ing and fun loving boys and girls with the best shoes for the money.
