AS 1T is REVISED.

Most Important Changes In the Wilson
Tarin Bill Noted.
The revised tariff bill has been laid
before the Ways and Means Committee.
The changes which have been made
in the bill since it was first given to
the public are as follows: Tin plate,
from 40 per cent. ad valorem to one and
one-fifth cents per pound, with a pro-

Tapestry Brussels, treble ingram and
other kinds of carpets increased per
cent. ad valorem.
A change is made in the time when
the wOolen schedule shall go into eff
feet. The first print of the bill stated
that the woolen schedule shall go into
effect July !, 1894, and that on all rates
OF duty in the woolen schedule except
on carpets there shall be a reduction of
l cent on the hundred every year until
1900. This is changed so that the

particular provision.
The silk schedule is now as follows:

threads or yarns of every description,
except spun silk, 25 per cent. ad va
lorem: spun silk in skins, cops, warps,
or on beams, 30 per cent. ad valorem.
The cotton thread schedule is
changed SO as to make the ad valorem
duty fixed apply to a cheaper grade of
thread in each case.
The following has been added to the
wood schedule taken from the free
list: Lumber of any sort, planed or
finished, for each side planed or fin
ished, SO cents per 1,OO0 feet, board
measure: and if planed on one side
and tongued and grooved, 81 per 1000
feet, board measures; and if planed on
two sides and tongued and grooved,
$1.50 per 1000 feet, board measure;
and in estimating board measure under
this schedule no deduction shall be
made on board measure on account of
planning, tonguing and growing.
There are numerous changes in the
free list. Burlaps are added to duti.
able list at Is per cent. ad valorem;
brushes and feather busters increased
from 25 to 20 per cent; jewelry, % to
35 per cent; petroleum, crude or re.

There are stairways to the grotto,

All the scots have harmonized in the
decoration of the grotto, but they are
not to be trusted to agree SO well in
the church. The presence of the Turk

Greeks, and Armenians have their

THE BaoCKNAY SUSPENSION.

Brockway Is OUT The managers OF
the Eimira Rcformatory have deemed 1t
prudent not to get into.a fight with Gov.
Flower, and so they have backed down and
suspended" the Superintendent or, as
Brockway himself impudently puss It,,
he has Temporarily retired"
hut the suspension Is fraud and a
cheat The managers have put them
selves on record as approving and in
dorsing all that Drockway has done and
have declared their confidence In his In
nocence. To find Brockway guilty Of
brutal and Illegal acts would be to con-
denim the managers and to render n YER
dict against them. They IRE as much
interested as Brockway himself in ter
rorizing tho victims and coercing the
keepers into Withholding evidence that
would tell against the Superintendent.
Yet one of these very managers. ac-
completes of Brockway II he has com
mitted any offense has been appointed
Superintendent during his suspension.
Brockway Is out. His spirit. his influ-
snce. his tyranny. his power over the
witnesses are still there.
Gov. Flower ought to have appointed
the Superintendent to hold charge dur
ing Brockway's retirement" TO leave
one Of the managers In charge Is to
make no change at all.

IN BAD BUSINESS.

The hundreds OF thousands OF New
Workers. who greeted the great naval
parade last Spring, or who visited the
warships as they lay at anchor In the
Hudson. will read with regret that two
OF them have been engaged in Il very
bad piece of business. These two are
the Brazilian vessels Aquidaban and Re.
publica. which have been bombarding the
defenseless city of Rio. Under any cir,
cumstances 1t would be regrettabie thai
the guns and ships OF any Government
especially of a republic. should be used
against its own people. but the present
outrage seems wholly inexcusable. Il
looks as II IL had been perpetratec
chiefly to test the destructive power o
the great twenty-ton guns.
This is worse than the outrage com
rnitted by Great Britain In her gur
practice at Alexandria, when she trainec
her modern long-range artillery on tn
living targets behind that city's crum
bling defenses.

1t IN n comprehensive report which

In placing upon Tow.rman Knott the
blame for the recent Long Island Rail
way catastrophe at Berlin. They touch
on nearly all the points Of practical
railroad and signal management, as re-
lated to the avoidance of rcar-cnd col
lisions. But one looks in vain for any
mention of the responsibility Of the
railroad managers in the matter Of en-
ploving the best mon at the signals
OF paying them well. and OF seeing that
their hours of labor are not so extended
as to strain their endurance to a peril

considerations. The Commissioners
would have done well to emphasize
them. There is no justification for amy
