Tariff Decision.

The secretary of the treasury has decided
the questions which have been pending before
him for some timo in regard to duties on iron
under the new tariff. In his decision the pro-
vision for charcoal iron is held to relate only
to the iron which is otherwise dutiabe under
the paragraph in which it is found, and tho
provision for rivet, screw, nail, and fence
wire rods is held to govern the ratio of duty
on those articles, Notwithstanding the appar-
ent provision elsewhere in the tariff for iron
of the size and value named in the paragraph
relating to rivet, screw, nail, and fence iron

Mr.. James, chief of the customs division of

morning whether a request had been made by
the Chinese consul at New York for pcrmis-
sion to land certain Chinese sailors recently

ter had not been brought to the notice of the
department officially, but that he had received
telegram from New York yesterday ask
ing whether decision had been reached
in the case of tho sailors in question. lie had
replied, he said, that the question had been
decided by Judge Potter in New York last
August, the latter holding in tho case OF j.
Fork, a Chinese sailor on the British steam
ship Pcmbrokeshire that Chinese sailors
were placed by tho law on tho Same footing
as other Chinese laborers, and could not be
landed Mr.. James said that similar deci-
sion had been reached at San Francisco last
year He said also that the treasury depart
ment could not construe the law, that being
matter for the courts. He thought that
Judge Potter's decision was all that was
necessary in this particular case.

Secretary Folger has raised an important
question in regard to the operation of the new
civil service law, which he stated in letter
addressed by him to the commissioners yester-
day. few days ago he made a requsition
on the commission for person to fiji 5000
clcrkship, and the commission yesterday cor
tilted TO him the names of four persons from
which to make his selection The secretary
finds himself in doubt as to whether section
1851 Of the Revised Statutes does not limit
Linn in making his selection from tho four
names. He says, in his letter to the commits
sioners, that this section gives the preference
othor things being equal, to honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors Of the late war,
and that section of the civil service net pro-
vides that nothing contained in that act shall
be construed to take away the preference
given in section 1754 to that class of persons,
and ho asks further information on the sub
ject. His opinion is that if one of the persons
certified to him is an honorably discharged
sailor or soldier he must select that one.

IMPORTANT RAILROADISG.
An Air Line Through Nevada to
the Pacific.

For some time it has been known that
a direct air line was needed from the Mis-
souri, River to California. The Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific and Northern Pa
clic are we'll enough, but there has been
wanting q new line that would cut off
considerable distance. When the Chicago,
Burlington d Quincy built through to
Denver, it was thought they would at once
build to Salt Lake City, and from there
to San Francisco. 1t is also well known
that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
wanted a California outlet Of their own.
As this company and the Burlington have
nearly the same stockholders, q line that
would have outlets for both would exactly
suit. 1t is now reported on good authority
that such 6 line has been projected and
will be at once built. There is nothing
impracticable in the scheme, and it will
prove one OF the great steps in railroad
construction. From Atchison almost di-
rectiy across Kansas and Colorado to
foekvale, runs the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway. Rockvale is lust a few
miles west Of Pueblo, where the Denver Il
Rio Grande also has a terminus. The new
line would be built from Rockyale through
Gunnlson, following the Gunnison River
valley into Utah and crossing the Colorado
hiver near the mouth Of the Gunnison
River, The line rum considerably south
of Salt Lake City and away south of the
Union and Central Pacific Railways. 1t
passes through the center of the lower half
Of Nevada, missing the alkali plains, and
striking those little pure lakes in Nevada
that are 30 famous. 1t would run into
Yosemite Valley and would be the nearest
n to that famed resort. Passing through
stockton it reaches San Francisco, being
the most direct line by 400 miles, and
making A line that could be built cheaper
than any other.

The official enumeration Of saloons
throughout the various States for the
years 1881 and 1882, as compiled by the
Census Bureau at Washington, shows a
somewhat astonishing difference between
the Northern and Southern States in the
matter Of their increase and decrease.
In the Southern States there has been a
marked decrease, and in the Northern a
somewhat less marked increase. For in
stance, in 1881 Alabama had 2,0i6 sa.
looms, while in 1882 she had only 1901.
Arkansas fell during the year from l,437
to $50; Georgia from 2.5l7 to ?, l5l: Ten
nessee from 2,95G to 1893. On the
other hand, Kansas rose from l 1852 to
l,460; Maine from $50 to 3t2; Michigan
from 4,537 to 5000; Minnesota from
2,5l0 to z, sos; Wisconsin from 1850 to
5,275. Again, South Carolina fell from
l,015 to IA, while Vermont rose from
U to 1926. There are some exceptions
to the rule, Of course, but they are not
numerous. Ii these figures are correct,
and there is NJ reason why they should
not be, they will serve to correct some
%rroneous ideas that are prevalent with
respect to the effect of temperance laws
IN the various States. 1t appears on the
face of the returns that the increase has
been mostly in States which have adopt
