BUTLER's INVESTIGATION.
The Board of Health Deals Him Re-

The Board of Health Deals Him a Re-
taliatory Blow.
BosToN, Jan. 12.-The annual report of
the State Board of Health, Lunacy and
Charity was read at a meeting of the
Board this afternoon. 1t says that wo-
men should be appointed on the Board OF
Trustees of the Insane Hospital, and that
the State WUrkhouse and Tewksbury
should be placed under one board of
trustees. The report then takes up the
attacks of Gov. Butler upon the system
OF charities, and upon this board particu-
larly, and says:
"These charges, amazingly varied and sup
ported only by the weakest possible evidence,
most of which would be held incompetent by
any ordinary tribunal for the trial of ques-
tinns OF fact, were widely circulated through
out the country. They grew by repetition
and eXaggeratiOn until the good name of the
State labOred under the weight of misrepre-
sentation and dsgraceful accusations
such as never before visited upon
this commonwealth by her bitterest enemies.
whether sectIonally or otherwise hostile. Yet
all this time our charitable system, against
which these ISLANDERS were brought. continued
to work without serious obstruction or i'll
result, and exhibited to the anxious and Curl
Ous inquiries from outside the State
the same beneficial care for the
poor which had made the name
OF Massachusetts honorable and honored
wherever the principles of public charity were
known and It's practice respected. 1t Is the
best evidence in favor of the institutions
which so prominent citizen of Massachusetts
attacked that they have gone forward in their
regular course, unmoved by the unnatural
assault upon them and vindicated by the
voice OF the people as early as an opportunity
occurred to do them Justice"
To all this portion of the report the
minority strongly objects.

LEAF TOBACCO AND IT'S DUTY.

Secretary FOlSer shown Wherein His
Former Decision is Questionable.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has written letter to the
Collectors of Customs at New York In
regard to the correctness OF his former
decision relative to the provision In the
law of March 2, 1888, placing the duty
upon leaf tobacco for wrappers. That
decision held that in order 10 be dutiable
at 70 cents per pound when unstemmed,
and 81 per pound when sten'med, the
package containing the tobacco must con-
tain 50 per cent. fit for wrappers, OF
which more than 100 leaves are required to
weigh pound. The decision thus made
the package the limit of quantity by
which To determine wnether tue merchau-
disc cOntOrmed to the statutory standard.
1t has been cOutenGed by persons inter-
ested that there are two descriptions of
tobacco known in the trade-One known
as wrapper" tobacco, and the other as
filler tobacco; and further that all of
the classes known as wrapper tobacco
may, however, NOS be lit for wrappers, or lie
OF sufficient lightneSS of texture to require
more than one hundred leaves to WtIgh u
pound. so that When tobacco belonging to
the wrapper class is found not to conform
to the statutory standard in two respects
it falls into the provision for tobacco not
otherwise provided for, and dutiable at So
cents a pound. The Secretary says that
this reasoning would make the class OF
tobacco the test aud not the quantity
contained IN the package, and
that he thinks that these views are
entitled To serious consideration. No
evidence has been presented on the part
Uf importers since the case was originally
deciued. AS a preliminary TO any further
decision in tie matter, the Collector IS di-
rected to suspend action under the deci-
sion before referred to, and to classify
wrapper tobacco, which may be found i'll
packages according TO the standard be-
lore Indicated, leaving importers, il dis
satisfied with such classification, to pre-
sent their case To protest aud appeal.

appears by letters from manufacturers in
Eastern Pennsylvania that they are pay
ing their wOrkmen % per cent. less than
is being paid in this section. Af.er the
proposed reduction of wages the pay in
New England will be from 3 to per cent
