UNDER the old tariff, the emigration from
Germany, between 1874 and $780, varied be-
tween 20, 299 and 81, 638 per annum, butunder
the new high tariff the emigration from 1880
to 1884 has ranged between 1914, 7S6 and 250
$50 per annum.-Louisville Courier-J ournal.
Strangely enough this wonderful increase in
emigration does not tend toward free trade
England, but, with few exceptions, they come
directly to protection cursed America, where
the star-eyed goddess of reform mourns and
refuses to be comforted.

THE workingmen are appealed to to support

are the only producers whose commodity-la-
boris absolutely unprotected.-Louisville

To remedy this the star-eyed goddess of re-
form is asked to admit free of duty the prod
ucts of the pauper labor of Europe. By the
way, isn't it about time free-traders ceased
slurring those American citizens who have
come among us from abroad Know-nothing

BECAUSE the spectators at a baseba game
in Philadelphia did not like the rulings of
the umpire, and jeered at him, that autocrat
picked up bat and hurled it with all his force
into the thickest of the crowd Much to his

and, although placing himself under the pro
lection of an officer he was chased from the
field. The man who was hit with the bat
realizing the high station and important po-

GEN JOHN w. FOSTER returned to Washing
ton yesterday. Since his return to the United
States there has been more or less frequent
mention of his name in connection with the Re
publican nomination for Governor of this State.
Complimentary as this is to General Foster,
it is proper to say that his visit to this country
now is entirely disconnected from politics, and
simply to confer with the State Department
regarding the mission he undertook when he
went to Spain He assumed duty there which
is not yet completed, and his obligations with
the government are such as to compel him to &C
back TO Madrid and use his best efforts to make
his work successful If for no other reason,
this would preclude such an idea as the reports
we have alluded to suggest.

DUTIES ON WEARING APPAREL.
Important Decision to Americans
Returning From n Trip Abroad


WASHINGTON, April "A question
of considerable interest to travellers
returning from abroad. namely, what
constitutes wearing apparel in actual
use, which by law is exempted from
duty, was decided by the supreme
court of the United States, to-day.
VIM. Astor, the plaintiff in error, a
citizen of the United States, arrived
home from a visit to Europe in Sep
tember, with his family, by vessel,
and brought with him wearing ap-
parel bought there for his and their
use. to be worn here during the season
then approaching. 1t was not excess
i've in quantity for persons of their
means, habits and station in life, and
their ordinary outfit for winter. A
part of the articles had not been worn,
and duties were eNacted on all these
articles.
The court holds under section ?, sos,
revised statues, exempting from duty
wearing apparel in actual uso and
other personal effects not merchan-
disc" that the proper rule to be ap-
piled was TO exempt from duty such
articules as fulfilled the following
conditions:
| ARTICLES EXEMPT FROM DUTY.
First, wearing apparel owned by a
passenger and in condition to be worn
at once, without further manufacture.
Second. brought with him as pas.
sanger and intended for use or wear
himself or his family, who accom-
panied him as passengers, and not for
sale or purchase, or imported fel
other persons or to be given away.
Third, suitable for the season of the
year which was Immediately approach
ing at the time of arrival.
Fourth, not exceeding in quantity,
quality or value, what the passenger
was in the habit OF ordinary Y erovi
ding for himself and family at that
time, and keeping on hand for his and
their reasonable wants in view oi
their means, habits and station in life
even though such articles had moi
been actually worn.
The judgment of the circuit court
was reversed, and the case remanded
with instructions to award a new
trial.

HOW GREAT GENERALS SMOKE.
The use of tobacco is supposed to be
an essential to military success, but
there is curious difference in the
manner in which great generals han
die cigar General Grant, for ex-
ample, who is the greatest smoker of
the age. uses his as if he enjoyed it. He
cuts off the tip with his pocket-knife,
and, once lighted, the cigar never
leaves his lips until the fire gets so
close to his mustache as to SINCE it,
and then he sticks it on a wooden
toothpick and hangs on until the last
Whit can be drawn. He is a connois-
seur in tobacco, and always nokes a
medium strength cigar, which he i'm
ports himself from Havana. He
smokes slowly and deliberately, with
the greatest enjoyment, and believes
that to knock off the ashes spoils the
flavor of the cigar He does not use a
great many day, although he is con
stantly smoking. A box of fifty Will
last him a week or ten days
HOW SHERMAN SMOKES.
General Sherman's habits are the
very reverse. He smokes quite as con-
stantly as General Grant, but uses
FIVE cigars to Grants one, and he isn't
particular about the quality. He knows
a good cigar when he tastes it, but is
indifferent whether he has a Wheel
ing stoga or Reina Victoria in his
moxth. He smokes as if it was dis
agreeable duty to perform as rapidly
as possible, chews the end that is in
his mouth, and bites it off in chunks,
so that his cigar is consamod at one
end as it is at the other.
Grant always talks with cigar in
his mouth; Sherman never does. He
laws it down somewhere when he
starts to make remark, forgets where
he put it. and lights fresh one when
he has finished what he wanted to
say. The result is that his desk or the
| furniture around the room in which
he happens to be smoking is usually
| loaded with several half consumed
stubs. At his headquarters when he
was in Washington, It was generally
the case that these stubs were to be
| found In every room that he frequent
ed, and the staff officers called them
''Sherman's old soldiers"
The General is an absent-minded in
dividual, and his carelessness of the
forms of etiquette is the result of pre-
occupat on rather than indifference TO
propriety. He has frequently been
known to borrow cigar to get light
and then throw the other mans
cigar away without regard to conse-
quences.
GENERAL SHERIDAN Is FOND OF TO
BACC0,
and enjoys a quiet smoke, but ne cant
do anything else while he has cigar
