New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1888-03-12

Yesterday was fittingy commemorated in
Plymouth Church, being the first anniversary
of the funeral services of Mr.. Beecher. who
died year ago last Thursday. The services
yesterday afternoon and evening were partici-
pated in by the church and Sunday school. and
many tender words of love and sorrow were
said and sung.
The neat little sum of S423,446 will be
spent in repairing the north wing of the Capitol
at Albany if Charles B. Andrews, Superin
tendcnt of Public Buildings, has his way. Oh
no, that is only his estimate; and whoever
heard of case in which the expenditure was
kept within reaching distance of an estimate !?
However. the taxpayers may as well make up
their minds that they will have 20 keep On pay
ing out money for that Capitol for some time
longer. 1t is probably cheaper to repair and
reconstruct than to build ancw-cspecially as
the risk of getting another white elephant ON
iheir hands would remain.
The order Of Judge Dundy of the United
States Court, at Omaha, forbidding the Union
Pacific engineers to strike in sympathy with
the Burlington men, has cooled the othcadcd
leaders of the Brotherhood percepGbIy. A
week ago, in Tammany Hall. they talked in
lofty way about Stopping every wheel in the
country. Last night delegates representing
over 10000 men met in the same place and
mildly protested that they did not wish to in
terfere with the laws governing railroads. but
would leave each man 70 do as he thought best
about running his engine. That sounds
trihe more modest and shows that the Brother
hood atmosphere has been cleared by little
judicial thunder
Mr. Randalls Tariff bill is to be introduced
in the House to-day, and we devote consider
able space this morning TO statement Of its
provisions and the changes which it will make
in the tariff schedules. AS may be supposed
from its authorship, this measure has been pre-
pared on different principle from that which
brought forth the ozark Lantern" scheme,
that political patchwork Of incongruous parts.
Mr.. Randall would do away with the entire
internal tax On tobacco and on fruit brandics;
his bill also repeats the license tax On liquor
dealers, makes alcohol used in the arts free,
and reduces the whiskcy tax TO SO cents. The
whole tariff system is revised and many i'm
portant changes are made. The estimated re-
duction Of revenue under the bill will amount
to $25,OO0,OOO in customs duties and $7O,-
100000 in internal taxes
The Mills bill is stirring up opposition in
quarter which the producer of that short
sighted measure treated with especial tender
ness-thc South. Did he forget that there are
manufacturers Of low-gradc cotton warp in
that scction2 All grades of that product below
what is called No. 40, which are now protected
10y duty OF 90 per cent, are put on the free
list IN the Ozark Lantern bill Now, il
happens that little cotton warp not below No.
40 is made In the South, so that MIR. Mills
means to throw practically the whole cotton
manufacturing industry Of the South upon the
tender mcrcies of free-trade competition. A
Southern manufacturer sounds the warning To
his brethren in q letter given in another part
Of this paper. and they will not be slow 10 take
