Kid Gloves and the Tariff.

New York Times.
Deputy Collector Dudley +. Phelps,
In charge of the Ninth, of Law, Divi-
sion of the Custom House. is at pres
ent celebrating upon question
raised by the new tariff law which is
of great Importance to importers of
kid gloves.
In Schedule n, under "leather and
manufactures off, clause No. ASS relat-
ing to "gloves of all descriptions, COM
posed wholly or in part of kid or other
leather and, after touching upon
the duty to be paid upon different
kinds of ladies' and children's gloves,
the clause contains the following:
"All mems leather gloves of said
length-14 inches in extreme length
when stretched to the full extent,
being in each case hereby fixed as the
standard and one dozen pairs as the
basis-or under, so per centum ad
valorem; all leather gloves over IA
inches in length, so per centum ad
valorem, and in addition to the above
rates there shall be paid on all mems
gloves 81 per dozen; on all lined
gloves, 81 per dozen; on all pique or
prick seam gloves, SOC per dozen; on
all embroidered gloves, with more than
three single strands or cords, SOC per
dozen pairs. Provided thatall gloves
represented to be of kind or grade
shall pay an additional duty of 50 per
dozen pairs. Provided further, that
none of the articles named in this
paragraph shall pay q less rate Of
duty than so per centum ad valo-
rem.n
"Now," said custom house officer
yesterday, "the question under dis
cussion is: Are these duties on mems
gloves accumulative? The law au-
thorities of the custom house are In
clined to think that they are. II so,
suppose the merchant imports.
say dozen pairs of mems
gloves, lined, piqued and en-
broidered on the backs, as frequent
ly used for winter gloves. The duty,
according to clause 43S, IL accumu-
latiye, would seem to be so per cent
ad valorem, 81 in addition, 81 tor lin
ing, SOC for pique, SOC for embroidery.
"Thus, supposing the gloves to be
worth $24 dozen, the duty would
seem TO be:
Fifty per cent advalorem. ........$l2
Additions under clause 45S. 1900. 3
IOCal ........s..'. ..'.''.''.'''P1 o
"Thus 1t would appear that on one
dozen pairs of mems gloves at $24 per
dozen. the importer would have to pay
SIS duty, placing the actual cost to
him at $50 per dozen. It is possible
that test case in this direction may
be brought next week to the atten-
ton of the general appraiser.

A Pleasant Presentation.
eAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.

SAFE DEPOSIT VAULTS.

There was very pleasant little gath
ering at Modesto Torres, on Martinez
street last evening, the occasion being
the presentation of a solid gold crescent
and star, to Mr.. Torres, in token of his
very acceptable services as chiefof police
on the International Fair grounds during
the late fair The badge, of solid gold;
a crescent moon, with diamond-centered
star in it's horns. Mr.. MeSSmer, of the
LIGHT, by request, made the presentation
speech as follows:
"Mr. Torres, l am instructed
of police at late International fair
this badge as token of our appreciation
of your faithful services. You perceive
we have not "caned' you for its the pro-
vince of good policeman to cane others
and not be caned. 1t is not watch, for a
good policeman needs no Watching, 1t
being his business to watch others, IhlS
badge represents moon, not the full
moon, for the good policeman never gets
full. This is a moon in its first quarter
growing to its fulness and is emblematic OF
yourself growing to fuller recognition
by your friends of all your valuable SER
vices. This star is also emblematic OF
yourself. 1t is a guide a constant and
steady light, and such a guide, constant,
conduct of those who sought guidance at
your hands during the fair. This star
also represents the state of which you
were an honored member. i pin it on
your breast, trusting that when these
friends who now look upon you in the
face shall be seen of you 10 more, you may
remember this occasion with pride and
always preserve this badge in remem-
brance that the services given you to per-
form were wisely and well executed"
Mr.. Torres stood with the beautiful
badge upon his breast, too surprised for
words, and could only say "This is sur
prise. l have no words to express my
feelings. / am not a speaker but do as
sure my friends appreciate this gift and
as long as l live it shall not be dis
graced."
Mr.. Torres health was then drank and
the golden crescent and star was duly ex-
amined and admired. On the face is this
inscriptions: Presented to Modesto
Torres, Chief of Police Great interna-
tional Fair" On the reverse this: by
his Friends and Admirers, San Antonio,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80 President Har-

will visit California next May as the
gnests OF Sen tor Stanford, to be present
at the opening ceremonies of the LELAND
Stanford, Jr., University.
The President has long been anxious to
visit the Pacific coast, and during the last
year his wish has been increased three
fold. Senator Stanford extended the in
vitation last spring, and the President
while accepting it pledged himself to
bring along his entire cabinet il it was

the entertainment of the distinguished
party will be on lavish scale and the

buildings are approaching completion
rapidly, aud it is confidently expected
that all will be in readineas for the open

This date was selected because it Is the

Scholar, on Our False Methods.
Neither at school nor at college was

classics with delight, 80 IS to enjoy them
for themselves, without ever grinding
them up into verbal exercises. In history,
l believe / had the very best of teac ling,
for which l am ever grateful. And in
philosophy, we were taught 10 use our
own common sense, and not to repeat
tags of windy systems. l managed to
satisfy my tutors, but they taught me- to
read for my minds sake, and not for the
sake Of 1.-THE schools.n I aIways felt
complete indifference to prize winning in
all Its forms. and l was happy enough
not to be pressed into that silly waste Of
of time by parents, tutors or friends. I

I read. have now en- experience OF some
40 years as student, teacher and examiner
and il forces on me profound convio-
ton that our modern education Is harden
ing into narrow and debasipR mill.
Education 10 oyer-driven, over-systema-
tized, monotonous, mechanical. At
school and at college, lads and
girls are being drilled like German
recruits-foroed into regulation style
OF learning, OF thinking, and even or
writing. They ali think of the same
thing, and it is artificial in all. The
round of endless examination reduces
education to professional 'oram,"
where the repetition OF given formulas
passes for knowledge, and where the acou-
rate memory of some teachers "tips" takes
the place OF thought. Education ought
to be the art of using the mind and of
arranging knowledge. Il is becoming
the art of swallowing pellets of special
information. The professor mashss up q
kind Of mental "pemmioan," which he
rams into the learners gullet. When the
pupil vomits up these pellets, il is called
s'psssing his examination with honors."
Teachers and pupils cease to think, to
learn, TO enjoy, to feel. They become
cogs in huge revolving mill-wheeI;
which never ceases to grind, and yet
never grinds out anything but the dust of
chat. In 80 years the academic mill,
which runs now at high pressure, like a
Ounard liner racing home, has never
turned out one single fresh mind or one
fertile idos. From this curse of modern
my companions and were

Editor Gdgstte For the last 20
years Of Wilmington have been crying
for increased representation in the Lsgis-
lature, and leading men Of every polIti-
cal party have agreed that this large city
should have more Representatives in the
State Legislature than is now accorded to
il by the politicians. An excellent oppor-
tunity for these gentlemen to show by
their votes that they mean what they say,
10 now presented. Tho Republicans have
named Thomas B. Smith and the Demo-
Gratis William Il. Swift as candidates.
Every citizen of Wilmington who wants
greater representation in the Legislature
should vote for both these gentlemen.
The interest Of every Wilmingtonian
should be aroused in this matter. We
have never before had two snch excellent
and capable mon from this OF Y, as
candidates, and both should be elected.
MIR. smith 10 known 10 all Of us as a most
excellent gentleman, who demonstrated
his ability by acting as treasurer of the
largest and one of the most successful
business establishments In this city; and
since his retirl inent from that position
has managed successfully the large estate
of the late Samuel Harlan. MIR. Swift is
also we'll known as the founder of the
largest match establishment in this coun-
try. From small beginning, this industry
grew under his care to mammoth proper
tions, AMI, like Mr.. Smith, he has retired
from active business with well-eRrned
fortune, and is now willing to devote
Bome Of his time for the benz ii OF the
people. Many OF our voters think that
this law Irlvides that this CITY shall have
hut one representative. This view is not
correct. The whole seven could be
chosen from this city, if tee voters so de-
clsred. WILMINGTON,

DUBLIN, Sept. 27.-There is no abate-

was deliberately trying to prolong the
trial as long as possible. The adjourn

had finished his opening speech.
At the outset this morning the speech
was concluded. II was the desire of the
crown prosecutor that the cases should
be tried separately and the magistrates
were inclined at first to consider that the
proper course.
To this the defendants unitedly Oh
jected urging the court to hear all the
cases at once. The magistrates at last
yielded TO the persistency Of the de-
PENDANTS and decided i'll favor Of the COL

was reluctant to accept 1t.
