THE DESTROYER AT WORK.


Destruction anu death seem to be IN a
way Of surprising, In 1897, all previous
records. The Indian famine, the
Persian earthquake, the Japan foods,
the range Of ,fllictions In Australis,
South America, aud Atricp, the
storms OF Europe, the massacres in
Turkiah territory, and a score OF other
destructive operations already witt
messed in this year leave no room for
doubt ss to the destroyer being at work
now as never before In the history OF
the world. There have been periods
when there was greater slaughter oil
humanity In a brief space OF time, but
never when the destructive force was
operating in so many diversified ways
md with 30 much evident certainty
toward the consumption Of all things
predicted by the prophetic word as the
"time OF the end"
In the world at large the wars and
rumors Of war, the storms and famines
and disasterp, Disturbances In the ele-
ments and among nations. present an
evidence OF all things being in COM
motion that Is not recorded OF any
other age since the days OF the
patriarch Noah. And our own land,
though geographically and politically
apart from other countries where IL.
iup,ion aud discomfort might be
looked for. yet does not escape. In the
way OF recent disasters the great Hoods
that have cost scores, aud perhaps
hundreds when all Ia known, OF lives
and millions Of dollars IN property, are
vet kept prominently before the people;
Tor, although the floods have receded
temporarily, there Is prospect that
another thaw, quite reasonable for thit
period OF the year, will swell anew
the raging stresms in the OHIO. Mis-.
souri and Mississippi valleys, and
cause much miIe damage than has
been reported thus far. Indeed the
outlook for such an event is mos!
Ominoug.
Even II nothing more comes :hnn
has been experienced through the
foods the past week, there VIII be q
great field for relieving the needy IL
the III cited districts. The sweeping
away vi homes anu property, and the
running OF the crOps, has been OF 30
serious character that general hard
ship and privation are unavoidable.
The greater measure OF human suffer
ing is yet to come, unless it shall b'
nllevisted by'well ordered relief opera
tionf; and these cannot be instiiutet
too soon or receive too ready assist
Rnce from every part OF the cOuutr,
not caught by the catastrophe.
In these mountains the peOl lie have
cause to congratulate themselves a.
their immunity from the ills tina
affect other parts. Yetit will not do Il
be so Overconfilent Of natural ptotec

situation here Is that ireshets an

DUTY ON WIRE And CORK
Ginger Ale Importers Must Pay
Tariff OH Them.
Judge SitnoHton Decides Contrivnnce
Essential and Consequently Duti-
able, UpEoIding IL Collector.

Charleston, s. C., Dec. 24.-An import
! ant decision under the tariff laws was
made by Judge simonton in the United
States court here today.
Some time ago j. NJ. Keane, of New
York, in porte d To Charleston from BeIf LIST
ii quantity OF ginger ale. The collector Df
the port at Charleston in estimating the
duty payable took into consideration shr
cost OF corking and wiring the bottles ald
assessed charges on the total amount and
his ruling " as upheld by the decision today.
Keapc protested and held that the corE-
ing al wiring was part OF the cost of
the bottles and should not be assessed fDr
duty under the tariff act If June, 1890.
The board Of United States general ap-
praisrrs In New York reversed the decision
of the collector. The board declare ed that
the wiring cost was part of the bottle cost
and that the ginger ale bottles We're free
from duty. The Government ordered
review OF the board decision
In his opinion Judge Simo ltOn says:
The wiring with the corking in th..
case before us is used because of the
peculiar cha Hracter OF tie contents 0f rhe
bottle The liquid, TO obtain Commer.i Al
character, must be charged with gas, the
charge perhaps increased for the purpos sc
of expectation. This gas must he Kept
under rcytraint. Without this wiring with
the curking it could not be manufactured,
put ON tic market, SOLD or imported. md
as the ale is never sold III any other WY
the wiring ana curking is an essential
part Of tic preparation for market sale
and export itun. So the conclusion is
clear that the wiring with the corkin.; IS
an inSnuarable incident to the Commercial
article known II ginger ale, and the ,ust
must be set down as a part OF the -oSt
OF the com merCial article =
This is the first decision under the act
It is victory for the Government ;nd
the importers will have bigger duties 10
pay.
The protests III similar cases pendinz be
fore the United states board of appraisers
from tho poIt OF New York cover amounts
of more tnan $1,000.
The same principle applies 10 all bot
tied gods imported into this country.
