has rendered decision in the first test case
OF the reappraisements Of Imported velvets,
pending which some 100000 worth Of such 81
yevets have been held In the New York GUS
m-honse, the treasury officials alleging IN
dervaluation. The case now decided Is an I'M
portation Of fancy silk velvets BY Oelber-
mann & Go. The customs authorities had
advanced the invoice % per cent, and on APP
peal E. Z. Eames, of Ii. B. Clatn * Co.. who was
appointed merchant appraiser, decided In
favor Of advancing the goods "a per cent,
and thus avoid the penalty. The general ap-
praiser sustains the original advance Of %
per cent, which carries with it the full pen
atty. It Is understood that Collector Merritt
will sustain the general appraiser, and from
his decision there is no appeal. Great dissat-
isfaction prevails among the merchants.
The first full cargo Of tea exclusively from
Japan to this country arrived at New York
In the steamship Gordon Castle. She had
about 300 tons of tea in boxes. Heretofore
the tea cargoes have been made up from China
and Japan. When the Gordon Castle sailed
from Yokohama on June the tea season was
about opening, and the usual rush for first
cargoes Of black tea for England was appar-
ent. The green tea and what Is known as
s'uncolored Japan is almost entirely export
ed to this country. Green tea is produced In
Japan now in larger quantities than in China,
and Is thought to be superior, as more care is
taken in picking and curing. There isa large
number Of vessels which have been lying idle,
waiting for freight Ia China ports for months
past, but they are now running to Osaka,
Hiogo and Kobe, in the Inland sea, and to
Yokohama for cargoes.

The New York Tribune has commenced
the issue of a Sunday edition, and will hence
forth, like all the leading morning journals
of that city, be issued every day in the week.
That it should do this is perhaps, under all
the circumstances, less remarkable than that
1t should so long have resisted the pressure
upon 1t to print Sundays as well as week
days. 1t is undoubtedly true that the aver
his morning paper about as much as he
wants his breakfast, and wants both as much
on Sunday as on week days As the Tribune
SAYS, the question was not whether he should
have such paper; but whether he should
have a Sunday Herald, Times, World or
Sun, rather than a Tribune, for want of
Sunday edition of the latter That the
Tribune should continue indefinitely TO per-
NIT the scruples of its managers, or the
scruples of a portion of its readers, 10 stand
in the way of its distinct pecuniary interest
was probably not TO be expected. But we
honor the Tribune for the long stand it has
made against such pressure, in behalf OF the
New England Sabbath. The chief objection
to the Sunday journal is not that it is neces-
sarily bad paper. There are Sunday papers
in the city and in the country, which pander
only to low tastes and are sought for only by
sensualsts and scoffers at religion; but the
Sunday issues of the reputable New York
papers are no worse, certainly, than their
week day issues. The first number OF
the Sunday Tribune is an admirable one,
giving over a column of special cable de
spatches from London, and a four page sup
plement filled with good things original and
selected. 1t is not that the work on the Sun
day paper il done on Sunday. Some OF it,
as the printing and distributing, must be
but there is probably more Sunday work
done on most of the Monday city papers
than on their Sunday editions. The great
objection is that the Sunday journal is a step
towards the utter secularizing of the day.
The day was instituted by the Lord of the
Sabbath as day of sacred rest; and its great
value, even to those who attach no religious
sacredness to it, is that it brings lull to the
absorbing earthly cares and interests of the
week, inviting all to call a halt to labor and
gossip and the lighter pleasures, in order that
they may give place to higher aspirations
and purer thoughts and nobler pleasures. The
opportunity, of course, is not improved by
all but it is none the less valuable TO all.
The tendency of the best Sunday journal is
to hinder and not 10 help this office of the
Christian Sabbath. The Sunday papers are,
as it seems to us, a step in the process which
is going on in all the larger cities and which
if not checked will sooner or later substitute
for Sunday holiday-thc Sunday of Paris
and New Orleans, where the theatres and
saloons are as open (and more numerously
attended, on Sunday as the churches; and
where Sunday is the day of the seven for
military para1es and p;cnics and outdoor
sports
