Boston, June 21.--The decision by the
United States appraisers is chiefly of
interest to the fish importers of New
England, as a result of whose protest
the matter was brought to the attention
of the appraisers. For some time the
fish importers here have been paying
duty both on the weight of the fish
and the brine in the barrels surround
ing the fish. Their contention was that
the levying of a charge by the govern
ment on the brine was entirely unfair.
They also pointed out that the aggre-
gate duty was so high that their profits
We're materially reduced.

Federal Decision Of Much Interest to
Fish Dealers.

New York, June PA decision of
much interest to importers of fish has
been handed down by the board OF
United States general appraisers. 1t
is in favor of the importers.
Fish imported in brine are dutia BILE
by weight at the rate of half a cent a
pound. About six months ago the gen.
eral appraisers ruled that the brine
surrounding the fish must be included
in the dutiable weight. The board now
explains that its former decision must
be Interpreted to mean that only the
brine adherring to fish after they have
been drained shall be included in the
dutiable weight.

ton Board Of Trade, and also Of the choir
Of the Rodney Street Presbyterian
church. He had an office in the Equitable
Building. where he was known as a
manufacturers agent.
On the afternoon of his disappearance
he was on the river in his canoe. 1t Is
thought that in some manner he fell over
board. The canoe with his hat in 1T was
found afterward. For weeks the search
for the body was kept up by rivermen
who were spurred on by the reward of SlbO
offered by the drowned mans brother,
Alexander C. Proudht, for its recovery.
The time limit of this reward expired on
May ].
While the finding of the body caused a
shock ON the part of the dead mans fam
lIy, it relieved their anxiety as to his
fate and swept away all doubts which
have persistently beset the case and gave
rise to many Wild rumors which caused
his relatives much pain. Those who knew
him best have stoutly maintained that his
disappearance was the result of some ac-
cident and that he was drowned. Hope Of
recovering the body, however. was given
up weeks ago for il was thought that dt
was either ground up by the heavy ice
during the winter or carried out to sea
long since.

Today the Treasury warrant for Si0,-
100000 will be placed IN the hands Of
bankers acting as the agents Of the
government to satisfy the French bold
ers Of the Panama Canal interests. This
concludes another chapter OF diplomacy
that is American. and. therefore, ste
cessful.
Many things might have happened,
At one time we were about 70 build
O canal by an inferior route. We should
have succeeded IN all probability. but
the cost Of construction and Of mainten-
ance would have doubtless been enor-
nous.
Then, too, through the course Of these
negotiations we have obtained a tacit
agreement on the part OF both France
and England TO our absolute control
OF the canal. The territory through
which 1t is to be built is as much
American as though il were cut through
Delaware. and for all time TO come Il
will be directly and absolutely under
our control.
We are to congratulate ourselves that
finally all obstacles have been swept
away, and now In beginning the work
we are unhampered by any agreements
with foreign powers which abridge our
rights or our authority

ABOUT "JlNERs."

A Philadelphia preacher yesterday
uttered some words Of sound sense to
a fraternal organization at his church
in a body. He said In part;
I'm the great multiplication of these
organizations there Is menace to the
home. The orders have high ideals
and II is all right for a man to be-
long to one of them, but If he joins
many his home life will be marred
Again there is the danger that the
work of these organizations may come
TO be regarded as substitute for re-
ligious services. This Is not n sub
stitute for the Christian church. You
need the church and the church needs
you.
That strikes us as a wise and time
ly utterance. There is no protest
against fraternal organizations as such.
but against that too prevalent custom
Of Joining everything I'm sight. Mem
bershlp in one or two organizations is
probably an advantage to most men,
but in every community there are
'jiners" who belong to everything from
the knights Of the Diamond Necklace"
to the Free and Exalted woodchop-
pers."
To them the lodge becomes the centre
OF religious. political and social life.
They lose al idea OF the quiet joys OF
home life. They are too busy with
their work OF limitations and confer
ms. degrees. II they had their way they
would have a parade once week. and
logged out in their heather splendor.
they would experience a thrill Of per-
feet bliss. whether their children were
at home or running the streets ragged
and bare-legged.
We repeat that membership IN one
or two organizations IS probably a
benefit TO most men. but when they
begin to join everything. 1t usually
means a waste OF time and money and
a neglect of those who are depending
upon them for many things. Some men
are timers by incliuation. and some
are 'jners" for profit The latter
usually have in their minds eye some
Office TO which they aspire.

man can afford to miss-that lode,

TAX ouTRAeEs.

Here are some Of the things our tax
payers complain about:
The tax rate Is too high.
Our revenues are wasted by an unneces-
sary duplication Of Offices.
Taxes are allowed to remain delinquent
when there is ample power under the
law 70 collect them.
They are unequally laid. some proper
ties being assessed as low as one-half
their value. while others are assessed
far above the selling price
Finally the Board Of Revision and APP
peais reduces assessments on certain
properties and raises others apparent
" without regard for the values Of
the respective properties.
We have been expressing these views
for years. but the counts in this In
dictment are no longer questions Of
opinion; they are facts. And as long
as this conditions prevails we shall be
holding back the natural progress Of
our city. We are reducing the revenues
from real-estate investments. thus dis
couraging landlords; and we are put
ting a burden on tenants. since the
landlord win not bear all Of It, We
know OF houses that are assessed at
$4,000 that the owners will gladly sell
for sS.500 What does that meang Why,
that these properties on their real
value are paying at the rate OF S2.45 On
the hundred. Computed on this basis
there are many properties that are pay
ing s2.5o--a dollar more than the rate
IN Philadelphia.
The Sunday Star prints a story which
gives us some idea of the motive back
Of these inequalities. We find that the
assessments on the properties Of the
Pennsylvania railroad have been re-
duced by the Board Of Revision till the
figures are ludicrously small. Then the
properties Of the Democratic members
Of the Water Commission have been
reduced in a most obllgng spirit. 1t is
significant that one OF the members Of
the Board has recently been appointed
10 sinecure under the Water Board.
Here is a coincidence to say the least
These things are Of general concern,
since We all pay taxes some way II
we are not property owners, we pay
taxes every time we pay our rent Now
we think II can be demonstrated that
we are all taking dollars out Of our
pockets to pay Tor waste and to make
up the delnQuencies Of others. There.
fore, we think it would be a proper
move TO can a town meeting, not only
OF property owners but including ten
ants. A committee might be appointed
10 go over the books and show the in
equalties. Their report could be pub
lished IN the papers. Then counsel
might be engaged to ask the courts to
interpose to stop the worst OF the griev.
