LEAF TOBACCO.
Decision by the Secretary of the Treas
ury ON the Law of March 3. 1883.

ury ON the Law OF March 3. 1883.
WASHINGTON, January 12.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury has written letter to
the collector OF customs at New York in
regard to the correctness OF his former de-
cision relative to the provision OF the law
of March 3, 1885, placing the duty on leaf
tobacco fit for wrappers. That decision
held the tobacco to be dutiable at seventy
five cents pound, when unstemmed, and
81 when stemmed. The package contain
ing the tobacco must be charged eighty
five per cent. when fit for wrappers, OF
which no more than 100 leaves are re-
duired to weigh pound. By the decision of
this package is a unit OF quantity by which
to determine whether the merchandise
conformed to the statutory standard. 1t
has been contended by persons interested
that there are two descriptions of tobacco
known in the trade, one as wrapper to-
bacco and the other as filler tobacco. Fur
ther, all of that class known as wrapper to-
bacco may not be fit for wrappers, or
OF sufficient lightness OF texture to require
more than 100 leaves to weigh a pound,
so when tobacco belonging to the wrapper
class is found not to conform te the statute
ry standard, and in the two respects it falls
into the provision for tobacco "not other
wise provided,for" is dutiabIe at thirty-five
cents pound. The Secretary says this is
to make the class of tobacco the test, and
not the quantity contained in the package,
and thinks these views entitled to serious
consideration. No evidence has been pre-
sented on the part of importers since the
case was originally decided. AS prelimi-
nary to any further decision in the matter,
the collector is directed to suspend action
under the decision above referred to, and
classify wrapper tobacco found in packages
according to the standard before indi-
Gated, leaving importers, if dissatisfied
with the classification, to present the case
by protest and appeal.

HOW HE BECAME A MORMON,
A Salt Lake Merchant Tells How Second
Courtships are Conducted.

A Salt Lake correspondent writes to the
Chicago Ne,rs the following story as fair
sample of the social amenities of Nor
mondom:
The superintendent OF the great COOP
erative store has told me how he contract
ed polygamous marriage, and will try
and repeat his story as nearly as | can Just
as he gave it to me-
"You see, l was a Mormon in England
| before / came here. In fact, was born a
Mormon. In 1866, when l was quite a
lad, came to Salt Lake City and got po-
sition in the stores. Brigham Young took
fancy to me and advanced me very rap
idly, and in few years | was cashier at q
salary OF 500 a month. About that time
met my first wife, herself the child of a
polygamous marriage and stanch be-
lever in polygamy. After a short
courtship, in which there was
romance enough to make it inter
esting, we were married. You can readi-
ly understand that at the time was more
interested in making myself position
than in anything else. l don't mind say
ing that was, if not opposed to polyg-
amy, at least not an advocate Of it, and
never deemed it possibility that ! would
marry second vile. We had two chill
dren, and my wife did 30 everything to
make our home happy. She was success
full, too, and I have never forgotten it,
either.
'One evening we were at party, and
| saw there the prettiest and most at-
tractive girl l ever saw | was dead stuck
upon her before ! knew it, and I went
around trying.to get AMI introduction to
her. / didn't succeed, but finally | came
to my wife, and asked her who that girl
was. She says: That's Belle Wells,
daughter of Gen. Wells, the mayor of
Salt Lake well, says /, Il want an in
PRODUCTION to her. My wife says She's
my oldest and best friend. will secure
you the introduction, She did, and Miss
Wells made such an impression on me as
no woman had ever done before.
''But it didn't stop. We didn't see each
other for some days, but was really very
much distressed, and she was, too, for sew
eral days afterward. Mrs. Wells herself,
one OF five wives, and Belle's mother,
came to the store to see me- What's the
matter with you and Belle? says She l
told her nothing that / knew OF. sWell,
she's sick and wants to see you All
right says 1, Il will go and see her. 1
went up to the house and found Belle in
bed, very pale and sick-looking. Now,
you could have got bets of thousand to
one right here in Salt Lake that Belle
Wells would never marry in polygamy
She was opposed to it."

GORHAM'S DEFEAT
For the Clerkship OF the Sena.A and
How II Was Efected-A Piece OF
Political History.
Gen. MeKenzie's COndition-BOnd Call
Chinese Immigration-The Cattle
Men-Capltal Points.


Special to the Appeal
WAsuINGToN, January l2.-It continues
to be said that Gorham for secretary of the
Senate had the favor OF Arthur, and was
beaten by the enemies of the administra-
ton for that reason. This proceeds, it is
likely, from the idea in the public mind of
Arthur's obligations to Gorham-not only
since he came into the White House, but
specially for services in the canvass of 1880.
Arthur was not for Gorham. He was OPP
posed to him, as he would be opposed to
any OF the band of Stalwarts who went
into the fight at Arthur's desire and saved
the day in 1880.
the support he gave Arthur in appointing
the present collector OF the port OF Boston.
Senator Hale, in the caucus, bore
down on Gorham for acts COM
mitted in defense Of the administra-
tion, and vet anything Hale asks from
the administration is promptly granted.
Gorham's ofiense was his support of Ma
hone in Virginia Had there been moth
ing else this would have been mortal. In
Virginia large measure of credit is given
TO Gorham for the election OF Malone and
Riddleberger TO the Senate, whereby the
administration is able to command a ma
jority. In the Virginia contest Gorham
has been the pack-horse of the admins
tration as he was for Arthur in 1880. For
this he was arraigned in the caucus, and
despite his great qualifications and expert
ence, which his foes admitted, he was
beaten. II the administration did not
wish to have him beaten it did not raise a
finger to have it otherwise.
Gen. McCook has always belonged with
Arthurs enemies. He was brought for
ward by Senator Miller and was supported
and elected because he was a Half-Breed
Gorham is an undertaking friend of Conk
ling. Senator Miller held that that sin mus
he rebuked in a special manner. Hence
his lead with candidate in opposition to
Gorham.
1t is but natural, i'll view of Gorham's
services to Arthur in the darkest days OF
1880, and the obligations Arthur was un-
der to him in many ways since, that the
public should have regarded Gorham's de-
feat rebuke to Arthur. There is little
likelihood that GOrham's defeat will
amount to national issue, or seriously
affect the usual current OF affairs, but il is
one of number of events which 90 to
make political history 1t is proper, there
fore, that the mistakes current in regart
to it should be corrected.

TEXAS FENCE-CUTTERS.
A Legislative Committee Investigating

AUSTIN, Ten, January 12.-The House
Special Committee on Fence-Cutting
heard evidence this afternoon as to the
lawlessness in Coleman and Runnels coun-
ties. The informer said that every fence
except one is down, and that is guarded
day and night by armed men. A number
of houses and many inclosed pastures
have been burned. 1t was shown that a
great deal OF the land fenced in
was net owned by the owners of
the fences. Out OF 40 men
giving in fifty head and over of cattle each
for taxes, twenty-seven owned land
enough for grazing their cattle; fifty-one
owned no land; tifty-nine only enough to
live on. One man, owning 1000 horses,
did not own single acre, and one man,
owning l20O horses, had only two acres.

zeal. amending the Chinese immigration
act OF the last Congress. The discussion
was long one, not confined to the merits
Of the bill in hand, but involved original
questions developed when the anti-Chi-
nese bill was under discussion. This was
due to the fact that some members OF the
committee never dealt with the subject
before. In the committee the bill was
finally referred to a subcommittee con-
sisting OF Senators Miller, Wilson and
Morgan. The tone OF the debate gave
warrant to the opinion that the measure
will have the purpose of correcting the
defects in the present law, and the prohi-
bition of the importation of Chinese la
borers will be reported by the committee.

STARCH SUGAR.
Report Upon the GlacOse Industry Sub
miIted to Commissioner Evans.


WASHINGTON, January l2.-Ths National
Academy of Sciences. through President
o. G. March, to-day made report on glu-
cose TO the Commissioner OF Internal Rev.
enue. After stating what starch sugar is,
how manufactured and chiefly used, the
report says: The starch sugar industry
OF the United States gives employment 10
twenty-nine factories, having an estimated
capital OF 5000, coo, consuming 10000
bushels of corn per day, and producing
grape sugar and glucose of an annual
value of nearly Sl0,OO0,000. In Germany,
in 1881 and 1852, there were thIrty-nine
factories of this sort, consuming 10000
tons of starch and producing 10000 tons of
starch sugar. A thorough investigation OF
the whole subject has been made by MEM
bers OF the academy, and as result the
following facts appear: That the
manufacture of sugar from starch is
q long-estabiished industry, scientifically
valuable and commercially important; that
the processes It employs at the present time
