In the House.

The House devoted nearly the entire day
TO consideration Of the tax act. and al 6
o'clock this evening passed the bill. Only
few changes were made in the bill as re-
ported BY the ways and means committee.
The license to sell liquors was increased
from $50 to 500. Section Il, reading That
all the taxes raised under and b. virtue OF
this act shall be used solely for the purpose
mentioned in the caption thereof and not
otherwise" was stricken out after consid-
cradle debate Mr.. Harreli said that ne r.
dorsed the section 50 that no money could
be illegally appropriated.
Nh. FELTON, OPPOSES 1T.
Mr.. FELTON, said that the section was
something new and that he was op-
posed to its being in the tax
act. II any money was illegally appro-
priated by legislature an injunction could
be brought by any one who wanted to keep
the money! from being spent in that way.
The insertion of the section looked like
dictation from the ways and means com
mittee. When the end of the bill had been
reached the House went back to considera-
ton Of the first section which had been
passed over.
AN EXTRA TAX.
Mr.. Arnheim of Dougherty offered an
amendment to the section reading: "And
the governor be and is hereby authorized
and empowered with the assistance of the
comptroller general, to assess and levy in
addition to the foregoing general tax,
a tax Of one half of one mill for
the year 1889 and tax of one mill for the
year 1890 on all Of the taxable property of
this state for the purpose of raising the
funds necessary to meet the appropriations
by this general assembly for educational
purposes in instructing children ia the
elementary branches of an English
education only" In the debate upon
the amendment il was developed
that this additional tax was
necessary to meet the appropriation Of
sl65, 900 for the support Of common schools
for the year 1889, and $3.50. 900 for the same
purposes for the year 1890. Thisssamend-
ment was adopted, and the bill was then
read and passed.
Among the bills introduced to-day were
the following:
By Mr. Clifton of Chatham-To enlarge
the jurisdiction of the city court of Savan-
nah. Also, bill TO encourage the cultiva-
ton of oysters in Warsaw river.
BY Mr. Gunter of Henry-To prevent

Atrocious Treatment OF the Poems in tn
Country Districts.

Atrocious Treatment Of the Poems In tn
Country Districts.
CrTY OF Mexico, May 22.-The Pdbellon
Ndciondt newspaper has been exposing the
i'll treatment to which agricultural labor
ers on haciendas in remote parts Of the
country are subjected. It says that in
some districts Of the State Of Chiapas the
natives use their natural dress, that is to
say, what nature gave them, and nothing
more. Thus they are found on the roads,
thus they serve on the haciendas, and thus
they show themselves in the towns. Il
even appears that they are ignorant Of tho
existence of hats, since they never cover
the head. These wretched poems hire
themselves out as beasts Of burden to
whosoever desires to lease them. The
wages are "a per month. The obligation
Of the Indian draught animal is to fetch
and carry on his back tho load committed
to him whatever may be the distance.
Still more, they are sub-rented without
the right OF receiving any excess Of pay
ment. As the poor Indian is never able
to discharge the debt which he has
incurred through tho amount of S25
usually advanced to him, he is always
o serf. II he dies his children must
work out his obligation. Many hacienda
dos Of Tobasco are sub-renters of these
Indians. The Pabelton Ndciondl suggests
as remedy for this shocking state Of af.
fairs that there be passed severe laws
which must depend for their application
on the Federal authorities working in CO.
operation with the local authorities. It Is
sanguine that, when the peon beasts Of
burden find out that the law Is protecting
them they will Mace themselves under IL

QUINCY, ILL.,, May 2l.-The great flood in

could happen has already occurred, hun
dreds OF families having been rendered
homeless and thousands Of acres of grow

entailed by demolished dwellings, wreck

The Duties Of the Department Of
Agriculture.
4 Bill to Create q New Cabinet Onicer
Passed.

WAsHrNeroN, May 2l.-The House passed
to-day, under suspension Of the rules, tho
bill to enlarge the powers and duties Of
the Department Of Agriculture, and to
create an Executive Department, to be
known - the Department Of Agriculture.
Commissioner Colman now presides over
what Is ofiicially known Is the De-
partment Of Agriculture, though 9th.
or divisions of the Government es-
tablishment over which commissioners
preside are called bureaus. The object Of
the bill which passed to-day is to raise the
Department. Of Agriculture to executive
dignity, and 10 provide for Secretary Of
Agriculture, to be appointed bv the Presi-
dent by and with the advice and consent Of
the Senate; in other words, to make now
Cabinet officer. The weather service Of
the United States Signal Service Bureau
Is transferred under this bill to the De-
partment Of Agriculture. The chief Is to
receive "a, 500 q year, and to be appointed
by the President, by and with the advice
and consent Of the Senate; but it Is pro-
vided that the Chief Signal Officer Of the
Army may be assigned to the charge Of the
Weather Bureau until chief shall be ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed.
Tho bill was warmly advocated to-day
by Mr.. Hatch, chairman of the COM
mite on agriculture, and hotly op.
posed by Mr.. Blount, of Georgia,
and other members. 1t passed. easily,
however, although it had to have two
thirds vote-that being the vote required
to suspend tho rules. 1t IL not new
thing for bill Of this kind to pass the
House, but the objection to making Sec-
retary of Agriculture has heretofore
arisen in the Senate. 1t is not known that
tho upper branch is any more friendly to
the proposition now than it has been here
tofore; but even if 1t passes that body tho
best guess is that 1t will be vetoed by tho
Preaidant
