New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1882-10-22

The grip which Mr. Parncl has had on Irish
affairs was shown by his easy manipulation OF
the Dublin conference. His carefully pre-
pared scheme to keep his country stirred up
lust enough, but not too much, was quickly
adopted. Once more he seemed to have full
control of his party, with plain sailing before
him. But the charges in The Irish Times
put an entirely different aspect on affairs.
Mr. Parnell and his associates are accused OF
having appropriated f9S.OO0 OF the Land
League money for their own purposes This
is no light matter and it is remarkable that
Mr.. Parnell and his colleagues have delayed
for a moment full explanations and de-
mails. The Land League accounts will have
to stand sharp examination, and If they are
not satisfactory the usefulness and influence
of these Irish leaders have come to an end. 1t
would be u great misfortune for Ireland II new
men shOuld be called to conduct her affairs Just
now. Notwithstanding all their mistakes, the
present managers have worked much good for
the unhappy island and have given indication
that hereafter they would conduct their warfare
mainly in Parliament. New and violent
leaders who would not follow in the footsteps
of their predecessors, would be bad thing for
the Irish people. Therefore, aside from the
fact that it is always painful to have men who
have been supposed to be honest proved to be
knaves, it is greatly to be hoped that Mr..
ParneI and his colleagues will speedily show
that there is no truth in the charges which their
countrymen make against them.

Mr. GladstOne's Government has plenty of
nerve, according to our cable letter, and will
not be hurried in its settlement of the Egyp-
tian question. 1t does not seem likely now
that the Tories will be able to get up much of
debate this point at the coming meeting
of Parliament, despite all the trouble they are
sching to make. But the clamOr and scOlding
which are heard, and the complaints that what
has been gained by force Of arms will be lost
by weakness i'll diplomacy, indicate how strong
public opinion is that England must hold all
the advantages she has gained in the land of
the Nile. Mr. Gladstone will have no easy
task to resist this pressure and follow out the
course laid down by himself when it was begun.
The circumstances attending the release of
another patient from the Asylum for the In
sane on Wards Island are not altogether sat
istactOry. Justice Barrett hestated to order
the release. 1t did not appear that the man
was sane; but still. owing to what seems to
be mere technically, there was no reason
why he should not be discharged; and so he
was allowed to 20. We hope it will not prove
that another lunatc has been let loose on the
community. The authorities at the asylum
are naturally initated at the apparent attack
on them; but still they have duty toward
the city. The Commissioners of Charities and
Correction should take this matter in hand.
The physicians cannot be all the time dancing
attendance in court, and yet the public must
be protected as far as possible from a repeti-
ton of the recent performance i'll Fourteehtl-st.
There is little to the credit OF President
Blanco of Venezuela in the story that is told in
our local columns. lie has never been willing
that his country should in any way honor the
remains of General Paez, who died in this city
in 1872, and that was bad enough; Slt his
hatred degenerated into malignant spite when
pc also tried to keep the United States of Co.
lombia from paying honor to his dead enemy.
When he found that the latter country had

Dutch Swindling.
The Peculiarities of German Customs
Laws.

Secretary Frelinghuyssp furnishes the adj
vance sheets of the consular reports on COM
mercial affairs for March. Consul General
Vogeler at Frankfort on the Main contributes
a paper on German tariff laws in which he pre-
sents the oddities of customs ruling by which
it is sought to levy prohibitory duty on avari-
ETY. of articles. The regulation under which
the trick is performed. is that where the mate
rial of which the Enclosure or outside wrapping
of an article bears higher rate of duty than
the thing inclosed the duty shall be estimated
at the higher rate on the weight of the whole.
Mr. vogeler instances the following Cases,
most of which are new to these DECISIONS
which he declares stagger credibility: Ameri-
can preserved meats instead of being assessed
at II marks per 100 Kilograms, is admitted as
cline iron ware" because contained in tin boz
es, with a duty of "a marks per 100 Kilograms
Emery which is free, if packed in tin boxes is
made to pay "a marks on the same ground
Cheese instead of 20 marks, if wrapped in tin
foil pays "a marks, and there have been instan
ces in which 200 marks were assessed. because
in the opinion of the custom house officers
there was in the encasing an admixture of sll-
Yer. INK mas Deeu Fateu dI " Auaiho oeOauoo
contain ed in what was declared TO be fine glass
ware. Well might member of Reichstag
com menting upon the absurdities, ask: "How
else than in bottles was ink expected to be i'm
ported when it was set down in the law at
marks per kilogram, perhaps in sacks or blot
ting paper" A merchant imported number
of empty champagne bottles sealed and labeled
to make display in his show window The
bottles we're assessed at the custom house at 30
marks per ITO Kilograms, as "fne glass ware"
probably because they were tastefully labeled.
Knit jackets and coats have been charged 3OO
marks instead of 100 marks because they SEEM
ed to the Jealous custom house officers to come
under the bead of millinery goods" might
continue the subject indefinitely. The German
press is discussing these eccentricitles with
much interest. The comic papers have regu-
lar column for "custom house curios,' traves-
tying the decisions of custom house officials by
the most grotesque inventions. The absurdity
of the proceeding has been brought to the at
tention of the government by numerous Ger
man importers, The director of customs, Dr.
Burchardt, has been called upon BY members
OF the Rechstag to explain these anomalies
In answer to questions addressed to this high
est executive officer OF the customs department.
he has simply pointed to the regulation quoted.
Whether this condition of things will continue
for anyl ength of time or be changed by legal
enactment or executive regulation 1t is impos-
sible to predict. There is no judicial tribunal
in the county competent to decide such ques-
tions. They must BE- disposed of either by the
Bunderath itself, changing or repeating the

GEO. F. SEWARD, ex-minister to China,
writes: "The veto has saved us from a
wrong step, for the time being, but it should
be said that our whole policy in this matter
of immigration is wrong and that we ought
30 rstrace all the steps we have taken. To
object to Chinese immigration in so far as it
10 evil can be justified to the Chinese, to the
world at large and to ourselves. 1t there
are criminals who come from China, or lewd
women, or diseased persons, or contract la
borers, let us by all means shut them out.
But let us at the same time stand by our
principles in regard to the immigration OF
honest freemen, placing no bar against the
Chinaman as . Chinaman, and still less
against the Chinaman as laborer. Taking
up this position we shall meet all the real
difficulties of the situation and conserve our
principles while maintaining our influence
with China and the prospects of beneficial
intercourse with her people,"
