Customs HOnsefnauiries.

The New York Journal of Commerce
says, it is gratifying fact that the in
vestigation of the customs bonded
warehouse system at that port has not
revealed any Irregular ties and revived
such scandals as have been the usual
accompaniment of Custom House in
quiries, especially when conducted by
Treasury special agents. 1t is of pc
culiar Importance now when new
tariff, full of errors and antiquities, is
about to take effect, that public con
fidence in the efficiency and integrity
of the customs service should be main
tanned. The errors in the new tariff
are such as have been made in every
previous law, and the difficulties Incl
dental to it's enforcement are much the
same, and a great deal will depend on
the spirit in which the customs officials
enter upon their task, and on the con-
fidence and cooperation of all classes
of importers and business men whose
interests are involved. 1t is unfortu-
nate that new tariff goes into effect
under an administrative system Sc
crude and unsatisfactory as that now
in operation; but Congress showed nc
disposition to enter upon the radical
readjustment of the machinery for the
execution of the revenue laws, and il
is doubtful whether any good results
would have been accomplished by in
sisting on maintaining the admins
trative provisions as part of the
tariff bill.
