TIoN OF TEA Is BEYOND THE POWER

William J. Buttheld. an importer Of teas In this
city has begun suit in the United States Circuit
Court to test the legality Of the regulations estao-
lished bv the Secretary Of the Treasury In Fen

ported into this couptry. Collector George X BID

James 4 Jewell. general appraisers. are named as
Defendants
The complaint alleges that the defendants nave
refused 10 permit the complainant to import teas
and have seized and destroyed certain teas import
ed bv him which were OF purity quality and htness
for consumption equal TO the standard, because
they were OF a test-cup quality and appearance or
size or color OF leaf different from the standard as
fixed I'm the regulations established by the Treas
urv Department. In fixing these regulations com
painant alleges that the defendants disregard the
tr,,e intent and meaning OF the act relative to the
inspection Of teas.
He contends that the regulations OF FEBRUARY
lS,s are Illegal and void because the Secretary or
he Treasury has no authority TO determine as 10
the kind OF tea admissible for import. and because

vond the power of the law The complaint alleges

HALL CANE
 ABOUT OUR DOLLAR

From the London Telegraph.
 If I were asked what is the worst evil which comes of the American thirst for prosperity, I should say the pride of wealth. Up to a certain point this is legit- innate pride, including, as it does, a pride in industry, in energy, in knowledge, in discernment and all the other qualities of mind and character which go to make rich men. But it expresses itself in America too often, if one may say so, in mere love of possession. Instance the opera and dis play of diamonds. Once year they hold horse show in New York, at which nobody looks at the horses and everybody looks at the audience. The audience consists chiefly of beautiful women, splendidly dressed. Naturally, the visitor does not object. Every Englishman is fond of horses, but when it comes to choice like that
 Nevertheless, the corroding effect of great wealth shows itself in American society in more ways than one. The marriages of Englishmen to American women may per haps bring about the Anglo-American al liance which MT. Chamberlain so much de- sres, but where the reasons for such unions are merely wealth on the one side and vanity on the other, without any apparent motive, the loss will be to America in the lOWeI1nS or the moral tone or that part or her people which come within the atmos- phere of such transactions. In a New York drawing-room, few days before I sailed, friend overheard something like the fol- lowing dialogue: First lady to second lady Were you at the wedding of Mrs. to thesEarl of -" Second lady-"No; were you?" First lady-"Yes; she is an old friend, you know?' Second lady-"Is she going , to England immediately?'' First lady," --"Immediately; but she will not be in the4prfnce's set, my dear-shell only be in thesqueen's."
 Itisnaturally, however, only small. and not very active or influential, section of the American people that is suffering under the worst effect of great wealth. The stead- fast body of the nation looks on at this Stopping of the vital moral principle un- troubled and undisturbed. The moral sense is, perhaps, keener in America than any where else in the world, for the early Puri- tan basis of New England is under every thing. Neither in literature nor in life will it tolerate the encroachments which are constantly made upon it in other countries, andr nowhere are the sins of the senses punished with so much prompt energy and relentless vigor. The most popular books in America are not realistic romances, but biblical stories; the most popular plays are not sensual extravaganzas, but simple or or wholesome pastoral dramas, like '"The Old Homestead' and Shore Acres"
 The quest of material prosperity by no means absorbs the energies of the American people It would be impossible to find among the nations of the world more read CTS to the thousands of the population. And the Americans not only read more than we do; they read better. The books they know they know thoroughly, and scrips and scraps and tit-bits of books have less at- traction for them than for us. No other nation pays so much attention to the educa- ton of its women, and in no other country
The age-herald., 1899-01-26

does woman stand so high or play so serious a part Then, the religious life of America is active to the point of fostering nearly every crazy notion that takes the form of faith. Hardly year goes by without the American Messiah, its Healer, and its Prophet. Preposterous pretenders, no doubt, but all proof enough of the innate religlos- ity of the people. If the Schlatters of Den- yer do not arise in France or in Germany it is not merely because the French or Ger man people are too practical to be imposed upon. As for the higher religious life of America, there is no country where that great wave is more felt which is now carry ing the Christian church back to early ideals of Christianity. Over thec, just as here, men are giving up everything to fol- low the Christ-life. The work of the slums is splendidly done, both by men and women. Brotherhoods, societies, settlements and so- cial clubs are to be found in all the great cities. Once a year the nation keeps a a day for thanksgiving to God, though there is not a word about God or thanksgiving in the American constitution. And one other fact struck me everywhere and in all con- dtions of life, that in America, where there is no state church, reverence for the church and the things of the church is greater than it has ever seemed to me to be in England, or even in Rome
 It would perhaps be easy to present an- other picture, and am not pretending that these hasty and discursive notes have any finality of judgment. only know that there is no country in the world so good as Amer ica for an Englishman to travel in, none In which he will be so well treated and see SO much to admire. Of course, l know how much I may be influenced by personal feel ings, and how many of my opinions may be affected by the accident of my own re- ception. If that is so, it is only as it ought to be. On two visits, under varying cir cumstances, and with an interval of three years, America has been very good to me, and it is right that should praise the bridge that have passed over

love it's people because they are free with a freedom which the rest of the world takes as by stealth, and they claim openly as their right. I love them because they are the most industrious, earnest, active, and ingenious people on the earth; because they are the most moral religious, and, above all, the most sober people in the world; because, in spite of all shallow judgments of superficial observers. they are the most chidlike in their national character, the easiest to move to laughter, the readiest to be touched to tears, the most absolutely true in their impulses, and the most gen. erous in their applause. I love the men of America because their bearing toward the women is the finest chivalry I have yet seen anywhere, and I love the women because they can preserve an unquestioned purity with a frank and unconventional and nat ural manner and a fine independence of sex. I love the constitution of America be- cause it's freedom is the freest I know of; because it has broken away from all effete superstitons of authority, whether in church or state, and has left the rest of the world in the pitiful shadows of both follies, to toll after it by more than hum dred years.
 And if these are qualities which have their defects, l go to the length of loving some of the defects of American life and char acter as well. I love the brusqueness of speech and the freedom of manners which implies that Jack is as good as his master, and sometimes a good deal better, and cannot do better, by way of conclusion, than to tell story in this connection of good and loyal, though rather embarrass- ing friend of mine. who is conductor on Broadway electric car. He is about twen- ty years of age, and he has a frank, open face, with bright eyes and a laughing mouth. When met him first he was stand ing on the tail-board of the car as I was leaping on to it. Will this car take me to Fifty-sixth street?" asked. He did not answer, but looked me over from head to foot. twill it?" I repeated. Instead of re- plying to my question he asked another: Are you Hall Caine?" he said. "Yes-will it?" I asked. Again he did not reply. but. smiling from ear to ear, and holding out c grimy hand, he said, "Shake!"
