Why Ii WINS Decided Not to Allow Him
to Resign.

Why 1t WINS Decided Not to Allow Him
to Resign.
The Treasury Departn ent does not like
the statements which have been made in
New York papers by former Chinese In
spector J. Thomas Scharf of Maryland, that
he resigned from the service because of
unlimited corruption in all directions i'm the
enforcement of the Chinese immigration
laws. The following statement of the case
is furnished by treasury official
III view of The statements W hich have re-
Gently appeared in the public press con-
corning the discontinuance of the service of
Chinese Inspector j. Thomas Scharf, sta
toned at New York, from which it appears
that The inspector, having become discour-
aged at the manner in which the Chinese
exclusion laws were enforced, decided to
resign his position, it can be stated that the
inspector was, on the LIST instant, notified
that his services would terminate on the
To- instant, 1t having been ascerta ned that
they were not necessary. The United
States attorney at New York, under
whose direction the Inspector performed
his duties, reported that so far as his
Office was concerned there was no
necessity for the presence there of In
spector Scharf. Upon receipt of the letter
CT dismissal the inspector appealed for the
continuance of his services, ana requested
comply with his desires, that he be allowed
to resign. He was notified that If his resig-
nation was rendered, to take effect on the
18th instant it would be considered. On the
18th instant he rendered his resignation
and at the same time advised the news
papers of the fact, and claimed that he
voluntarily severed his connection with the
government service because of his inability
TO secure a proper enforcement of the laws.
IT. view Of this action on his part, the Sec
rotary of the Treasury decided to give no
attention to the request that the inspector
be allowed to resign. and the letter of dis
nissal, therefore. took effect, as above
stated. on the 18th instant"

THIS KIND GETS MARRIED.

She isn't versed in Latin, she doesn't paint on satin,
 She doesn't Understand the artful witchery of eyes; But, oh, sure 'tis true, and certain she is very pat and pert in Arranging the component parts of luscious pumpkin pies. She cannot solve or twist 'em, viz: the planetary system, She cannot tell Venus from a Saturn in the skies; But you ought to see her grapple with the fruit that's known as apple, / And arrive at quick conclusions when she tackles tocahsoMe pies.
 She couldn't write sonnet, and she couldn't trim bonnet, She isn't very bookish in her letter of replies; But she's much at home-7ch, very! when she takes the juicy berry And manGpulates quite slillfully symposiums in pies.

The free trade shouters who are now
pointing with pride to the fact the Gus.
toms receipts under the Dlngley law are
very light are saying nothing about the
fact that this is caused by the enormous
importations of the months preceding its
enactment. That every available spot on
the green earth WAS ransacked for foreign
goods which could be brought in under
the Wilson law in order to avoid the in
creased rates under tho Dngley law is
shown not only by the heavy imports of
the preceding months, but especially by
the recent announcement from Washing
ton that only $l8, 600. 900 worth OF foreign
goods remained In the bonded warehouse
of the country as aganst moro than $780,
600, 900 at the corresponding date OF the
preceding year, showing that no spot had
escaped the attention OF those who were
filling the country with foreign goods TO
avoid the protective rates OF the Diugley
law. This clearly explains importations
and light collections OF the first month of
the new law.
