Bishop Cheney's Revolt.

lately attracted considerable attention
by resigning from tbo general council
of the Reformed Episcopal church
because that body voted against tho
wearing of while surplices in tbo pul?
pit, is ono of the most distinguished di

vines in tho west. He has been tbo pas?
tor of a prominent Chicago church for
87 years and lias a wide reputation as
an eloquent pulpit orator. As Bishop
Cheney has a number of followers who
uro bound to wear tho white surplice or
nouo at all, this incident indicates a
split in tho chinch. The bishop is quite
equal to leading such a movement, for
ho was ono of those who wero the lead?
ers in tbo revolt of 1873, when tbo Re?
formed Episcopal church was founded.
Bishop Cheney was born iu Cunandai
gua, N. Y., in 1830 and has boon in tho
ministry for 40 years.

MONEY FOR EVERYBODY.
Object of a Petition Pieseated by Con?
gressman Ermentrout.
Washington, July 8.?Congressman
Ermentrout presented in the Hoc so to?
day a batch of petitions und memorials,
tho most remarkable one being that of A.
M. Campbell, "g?neral manager of the
American Anti-Usury Association," with
headquarters at Catasauqtta, Pa.,in favor
of the issuance by .the Secretary of the
Treasury of $2,000,000,000 of Treasury
notes, to be loaned without interest to
States, counties, municipalities und indi?
vidual citizens of the United States on
proper security.
CORONATION SERVICES.
Tenure of Land on Condition of Personal
Duty to tho Sovereign,
Florence Hayward desoribes Queen
Victoria's coronation roll in Tho Cen?
tury. Tho writer says:
After tolling how tho privy council
was formed into a commission "to hear
tho petitions of tbo lords, great men,
nobles, knights and other with regard
to services, duties, attendances, offices,
feos mid rights connected with tho cerc
inouy of coronation," tho roll states
what these petitions were, or at least
such of them us wcro grunted.
Ono was that tho Duke of Norfolk,
who claimed "tho right to find for tbo
queen on her day of coronation a glovo
for her majesty's right hand and to sup?
port tbo queen's right arm on tbo smuo
day as long as her majesty shall hold
in her hand tho royul scepter, tho peti?
tioner holding tbo niauor of Worksop
by tbo aforesaid serviooa." In other
words, if tho Duke of Norfolk had
failed to provido tho glovo or to support
her majesty's arm at that particular
timo his owuorship of Worksop manor
would havo been invalidated and the
property havo rovcrted to tho orown.
Another petition was Klint of Barbara,
Baroness Grey do Ruthyn, who, as the
head of her family, claimed tho right to
carry the great spurs before her mujesty
on tho day of her corouution and asked
that Goorgc, Lord Byron, be appointed
her dopnty for tho performance of that
duty.
Yet another was that of Francis,
twelfth earl of Huntingdon. Tho earl?
dom of Huntingdon had remained sus?
pended for many years owing to the
tenth earl dying without issue. When,
howover, this twolfth in tho lino of suc?
cession succeeded iu establishing, ns 11
descendant of tho second earl, his right
to tho peerage, he also claimed tho right
to carry ono of tho four swords of state
in tho coronation procession, this, as
well as other duties and services con?
nected with the ceremony, being the
condition of his tenure of lauds. Small
wonder, then, that in announcing the
omission of the procession it was im?
portant to set forth also that tho uon
perforuiunco of duties connected with it
nhoiild entail no forfeitures.
