erroneous, whether intentional or
through incompetence or careless
ness does not matter they arc
wrong. For instance, the assessed
valuation Of all property IN South
Carolina is given as nearly million
and half less than in 1880, while
tho report of the Comptroller Gem
eral OF that State shows an increase
of seventeen millions, and conser-
vativo estimates are that the new
State assessment to be made this
year will add at least thirty millions
to the total assessed value of pro-
perty in the State. That is n
specimen Of Portor's work there

A gentleman just from Cape May
Point is authority for the statement
that Civil Service Commissioner
Roosevelt has not yet resigned,
although ho thinks it extremely
probable that Mr.. Harrison may
ask him to do so very shortly. He
says that Roosevelt went to MIR.
Harrison and demanded in dicta
torial manner TO know what action
had been taken on the report he
made srcccntly recommending tho
dismissal of some twenty-five Fed
eral officials in Baltimore, and upon
being informed that tho report had
not been examined he flew into
rage and told Mr.. Harrison that he
wanted him to understand that il
these men were not dismissed ho
(Roosevelt) would resign. That
ended the interview and Roosevelt
has gone out to his western ranch.
This may or may not be true, but
certain it is that Roosevelt has
browbeat Mr.. Harrison more than
once, and his calling Mr.. Wana-
maker liar is matter OF public
record, but for some reason Mr..
Harrison has lacked the nerve to
demand his resignation. ~
