THE BOERS AND THE BIBLE.

A missionary was visiting a Boer family and
found that they were daily using, and therefore
wearing out, Bible that had been brought over
with the family three centuries SO before from
Holland and containing all the family names from
father to son. since. He pointed out to them
that 1t was a treasure not so to be ruined They
agreed. but did not know where to get another to
replace 1t. He promised to make them present of

JUDGE ToWNsEND's FINDING IN FAVOR OF sEH.
CHANTS CLAIMS DISCUSSED BY IMPORTERS
One OF the chief topics OF convarsa+,o, 49,.
importers recently has been the decision banda5
oo"n by Judge Townsend Of the United States CIR
cult court, as already told m The Tribune in re-
gard TO the appraisement OF st Gail lacez Tn
ported from Switzerland by Messrs Loeb a
Schoenfeld The laces were imported last v.ar
ana they were appraised by Mr.. Wakeman AZ a
valuation considerably higher than the invoiced
FaIue The Importers applied for a reapprafss-
ment, and the general appraisers reduced the vain,
alton Later. Collector Bidwen acting on an order
from the Secretary OF the Treasury asked the
Board OF Three General Appraisers otberuv4sa
Known as the Board OF Classification, for a reaD-
pralsement The importers protested against an
otner appraisemeat, as 1t said that Collector
Bidwei did not consider the second Advertisements or
the goods too low. AS the purposed appraise-
nent OF the laces would involve the right OF the
Secretary of the Treasury to order the Collector
to take such step. appeal from the decision
OF the General Appraisers was taken by the Gov
eminent before Judge Townsend. He sustained
the contentious Of the importers
In his decision Judge Townsend said:
Counsel for the importers claim that 1T Is a con-
praisal Of the single appraiser that the Collector
Tsfarv ~ the r5I- 10 IO~ ,LlaI me Sec-
collector In regard to such appeal, and that said
cion OF the Secretary of the Treasury
the question, therefore. IS whether the Secretary
or the Treasury had the right TO order the reap
praisement The word deem" used in this cOnnec-
ton necessarily involves the exercise OF discretion
on the part Of the Collector. His calling and the
nature OF his business place him in position where
he Is necessarily familiar with the value of I'm
ported merchandise and with the facts bearing
upon questions Of appraisal. In such determine
ton he exercises his discretion judicially.
1t Is unnecessary to discuss all the contentious
presented in the ingenious. forcibe and exhaustive
argument of counsel for the Government. If the
evidence that the Collector did deem the aD-
prasement too low is admissible the decisive Ques-
ton is whether the Secretary OF the Treasury had
authority to direct the Collector to take the appeal
irrespective OF his (the COllectOr's) opinion.
1t may be true, urged by counsel for the Gov
eminent that there is defect in the Tariff laws
in that the Secretary of the Treasury has not been
specifically empowered to order reappraisement
IN such cases as he Is alternativey empowered to
do under Section 10. when he is dissa tiSded with
the decision of the Appraisers Classification but
this Is not matter TO be remedied by judicial
legislation.
The protests of the importers are sustained
