THE NEW TARIFF LAW
Said to BE working smoothly in Boston
aud New York.

RosToV. Oct. THE new tariff law
went into operation in Boston very
ouietly The Cunard steamer Pavonia,
which was expected Saturday, ana not
arrive until yesterday morning, so her
cargo comes under the new schedule Inc
Navarro Of the Furness line and the HIN
doc of Wilson & Sons arrived SUNDAY
and were allowed to enter. This, however
did not mean the legal entry OF the mer-
cbandise on the vessels. The merchants
were not allowed, it is understood, by
order of the collector, TO enter their goods,
for the custom house by government regu-
lation i net allowed to be open on sun
day for the transaction of such business.
Some of those. however, who had goods
on board will make a test point of tins.
There were several lots of gin and other
liquors on these steamers.
Some of the Boston liquor dealers, how
ever. proved themselves shrewd ones. One
dealer imm diately after the passage OF
the Mckinley bill telegraphed TO the Can
adian agents Of certain gin manufacturers
of Holland TO send him at once by train
all of the gin aud brandy that they could
possibly spare. Another sent a similar
message To the same agents. They d.
yided their stock between those two Bos-
ton men, ana the consignment, consisting
Of about 1870 cases and 80 casks, arrived
IN this city last Saturdayin time to escape
the new rates.
The steamer New Brunswick of the In
ternatianal line arrived at port from Nova
Scotia Suaday morning. She had large
cargo Of ap7les, on which the duty is q
cents Lu-hel. Formerly apples were on
the free list. Instead Of coming direct e
Boston from Digby and Annapolis, as is
the rule. ihe steamer put into the nearest
American port Of entry, Eastport, Me-,
on Saturday, and there the apples were
formally entered Being an American
steamer, the New Brunswick was then al
lowed 10 proceed coastwise TO Boston.
Thus did the owners Of the apples save
some money
How IL Worked in New York.
New YORK, Oct. THE new tariff bill
went into operation at the custom house
with littl or no friction in its general
workings. The day was light one com
pared with any heayy day of last week
and the total receipts were 500 592, -
which is about the average amount col
lected Last week the receipts Were
doubled. the collection being more than
f6 600. COS. which was caused by the rush Of
importers aud others to enter the goods
under the old tariff.
On Saturday Col Erhardt sent tele'
gram to the treasury department asking
for instructions, and Assistant Secretary
Spaulding answered that the goods coul'
be withdrawn on the old schedule and tina
the importers, after paying the duties
might protest to the board of general ap
praisers Collector Erhardt aud Mr.. Coucl
thought that there was SEINE error in thu
transmission of the telegram and repeated
their inquiry. No answer has yet beei
received

Davis to understand that if they are in

and allow it to be managed by
non-partisans. 1t was charged at the
time Chicago wal. selected as the site,
that the selection was made because
Chicago was Republican oity, and ii
was predicted that the Fair would be
plunged into politics for the purpose Of
making Illinois solid for Harrison ii
1892. The election of Butterwortt

Politics and the Worlds Fair.

The people of Chicago have diseov-
cred the fact that the Worlds Fair is
rapidly being converted into huge
political machine, and it is hardly nee
essary to say that they are not pleased
with the discovery. Congressman But
terworth, of Ohio, was elected the sec
rotary of the Fair, and for the past two
or three weeks be has been making po-
litical speeches in Illinois. The polit-
ical work of Mr.. Butterworth was fol-
lowed the other day, by the election of
Col. George DAVIS, of Chicago, as d.
rotor general. This gentleman, it ap-
pears, is we'll known Republican pol.
itican and organizer, and it is claimed
that the present administration at
Washington exercised its influence to
secure his election to the position where
he can serve the party and nse the
Fair organization as mighty political
engine in the year 1892. 1t is safe to
assume that with two Republican poll.
ticans filling the most important Offices,
that it will be an easy matter for them
to control the votes of the army of men
who will be employed by them. The
Chiago Herald has sounded nots of
warning to the people of the Windy
City and declares that the moment
politics finds its way into the Fair the
failure of the grand project is assured,
and the Herald is right. The people of
this country will take no interest in the
Fair if it is to be made machine to
perpetuate the Republican party
in power, and it is far better that it
be an ignominuous failure, than tina:
it should be used for such S purpose.
If the papers of Chicago are sincere
IN their desire to make the Fair one of
the grendest expositions that the world
has ever seen, no time should be lost

There is an honest typesetter in this
city, possessed of pliable mind, which
he is apt to change according to the
impressions made upon it. He once set
type on a teetotal organ, and after
thinking over the anti-alcoholic argu.
ments in his manuscript be signed the
pledge. He next got job on sport
ing weekly, and was led to join base
ball club. He afterward handled his
stick in Methodist weekly, aud it's
reasoning soon led him to membership
in the churh. He then set type for a
Presbyterian editor, whose copy con-
WINGED him of the truth of Calvanism.
He next "got sit" on q free trade pa
per, which led him to revise his views
of the tariff. He afterward worked as
typo on liquorish sheet, where, after
setting hundred galleys ofarguments
in favor Of grog, he adopted the prac-
tice of taking glass at times. At lat
est accounts this typesetter of pliable
mind was standing at the case in the
Office Of a spiritulistic publication, and
had become convinced that his true
function 10 life was that of a medium
of faith curist.
