Ne Party Disruption.
In tlie Heuse yesterday, upon n
motion te suspend the rules and pnss
the bill providing for restoring the old
rate of duty en raw wool, Mr. Moirlsen
and Mr. Randall were equally act! vp, the
reports tell us, In drumming up the Dem
ecrats te vote for adjournment rather
than te proceed te the consideration of
the mntn preposition. This does net
Imply a disposition todedgo the question
of tariff reduction, nor that Mr. Morri
son nnd Mr. llandall are In nccerd upon
this phase of the economic issite which
divides Congress and belh parties. But
as Mr. Morrison has a comprehensive
tariff bill elaborated, as Mr. HamUll Is
opposed te tariff legislation at this ses-
Blen of Congress, and as Mr. Converse's
proposed bill for restoring the former
duties en raw wools, does net provide
for making corresponding changes in the
remainder of the wool schedule, and
would disarrange the cntlie schedule,
there were manifest reasons why it was
net practicable, te consider it yesterday,
separately and disconnected from the
main subject of which It is only one
phase.
The same reasons substantially, which
deprived the vote taken yesterday, of
Blgnilicance en the main issue, it new
seems probable, will prevent the split In
the Democratic ranks in Congress, which
has been se frequently foretold during
the last few days, if it does net, indeed,
altogether prevent tariff legislation this
winter. There are some eutgivings that
a Democratic caucus will be called, te
affirm the Morrison bill nnd te read out
of the party all these who ate net willing
te support it. Tiiis kind of talk is ridl
culeus. There is no issue involved in
the Morrison bill, upon which the Deme
cratie party has made such nnauthoil nnautheil
tatlve deliverance that it is te be made
the touchstone of party fealty. Even
assuming that the doctrine of "tariff for
revenue only " Is the true party faith,
the Morrison hill does net embody that
doctrine, at all ; it Is a "protective "
tariff as essentially as the present sched
ule, differing from it in detail and net in
principle It is idle te say that an opin
ion as te the amount of duty te be laid
upon any particular article Imported Is
te determine, whether a man Is a Deme
crat or net. Greater questions thau the
tariff notably the financial measures of
the past twenty years have caused
wider differences of opinion than new
exist among Domecrata ever the tariff
sohedule ; and still the party has survived
and has net felt called uihjii te expel
leaders and state organizations who were
right upon the fundamental principles.
Mr. Ilurd and some ethers delight te
inform the public that there is a national
convention approaching, which will lay
down the law and determiue the stntus
of members of the party; but, with the ex
perience of lSbO in mind, as the time for
the national convention approaches,
nothing becomes clearer than that
that body will net adept anj
platform at the behest of the Deme
er.its of Iowa and Kansas which will im
peril the chances of the party in Indiana,
UUie, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jer
H9y,Xew Yerk and Connecticut, where
the presidential battle is te be fought.
The Democracy of these states are in
aubjtautal ugreeuient ujkhi the Ohie
plank of 1S83 ; it deals with principles, '
net details. Ne national platform has
ever yet embraced a tariff schedule aud
no essential party principle ever gets
down te that.any mere then it would (lx
the price of a liquor liceusa or the rate
of tobacco tax. Such details are for
individual congressmen, In their indl
vidual capacity and as local representa
tlves.te deal with; and if the Democratic
members cannot all agree upon them
they can disagree without disrupting the
party.

Died a Natural Death.
It is new considered a certainty that
the Committee of One Hundred in
Philadelphia will disband. The defeat
of Mr. Page last year aud the election of
the straight ring Republican nominees
in February have discouraged the mem
bers of the commutce aud convinced
them that further attemp's ou their part
te regulate the politics of t hat city will be
ineffective. During the existeuce of this
body it did some geed work , its members
labored unselfishly and spent their money
liberally nnd patriotically, and In the ex
ample of interesting themselves In politics
without making themselves candidates
for effice, they commanded the emula
tion of geed citizens of all parties. Tli.it
their inlluence should have come te an
early end seems te be in accordance with
the experience of nil third party move
"ments in American politics; and se
long as the people of municipalities will,
In the main, divide In local politics en
the bread llne3 of national par
tlsanshlp, independent movements
will be effectlve only for temporary pur
poses. These they serve well, but when
they have been met and answered
the committees nnd reform associations
disband and wait another opportunity te
reappear In auether form. The Commit
tee of One Hundred was a partisan
organization composed entirely of Ite
publlcans, the first object of which was
te reform Its own party within its own
lines, nnd only wheu that failed did It
seek ether alllllatlens. When Us power
te accomplish Republican reform was
broken and the Democrats were wtllinu
te concede- se much te the reform aentl
ment as te make nominations that
Invited and commanded its support, the
lines between the Demecracy and the
Committee of Oue Hundred were broken
down, and the timid partisans who are
for reform only when it elects Republi
cans, feared te fellow where It led.
There is ene way that the Democrats of
Philadelphia can profit inore by the dls dls
baudmeut of the commlttee than they
ever obtained advantage from its exist
once ; that is by exercising enru te nom nem nom
luale candidates who will stand for what
the committee strove after. The number
.of independent voters in muulelpal
affairs la increasing; the party wli'c'i
deserves them will get them oventually,
without any special organization or
agreement between them ; tlie Commit
tee of One Hundred may die, but the
spirit of reform will survive, and the
Philadelphia Democracy will be stupidly
criminal if they de net adept and ueur
tsh It and let It guide them in their
future organization aud nominations.

Htillened up very consider ibly nud holders
of all kinds of old goods are foiling better
than they luve for a while. The slew
and uradual sites of old stock have been
telling ou the aim. out held iu this county
nud ve veiitme te sty that the total new
evvuid is les than geuei.illy supposed.
The 'SO crop is almost extluet, and tli.it
which has been sold lately was at fair
pticcs. The '31 novel had .1 large ipian
tity in the whuluorep, net nearly as lirge
as the '30 or '83, and it Is easy te see that
thoie has been 11 large piopertion et it
sold. As te '32 thoie is u very small

even Uir, se ha upon tlie vvhole this

crop of '33 uet less thau 300 cases, at fair

Neverthiless thedeitiuid for '33 is uet
as brisk as f miters would like te have it.
l'liis is prubibly for reasons host known
te buveis, and ene is that packets have
net in ide much money during tlie last few
years ; '80 aud '31, they claim, made
110110 ; '32 some, but net a "bjn.inzi," by
any humus ; they claim 'SJ te have nntiv
imperfections, prefer buying it slowly nnd
with care. Ol this, n geed business in in

The right thing for growers te de is te

Thcre was no change in eitit of s.tK s
iu the market There will he no oh.inge
in this jespeet, either, for a geed whilu te
ceme The only change that will take
phce, and most assuredly se, will be
higher prices for what is labeled as flne
tobacco, Hut then call it what you will ;
it it is better than the bad, it will soil aud
bnug ad'ipiite (or inadequate) figure i
Thore is se little of useiul Sumatra no-v
left 111 the market that this bugaboo of
the leaf tiade is at preseut exceedingly
uarruiess. 1110 new Sumatra will be first
nilered in AmbterJam at the end of April.
We have seen samples of it. They looked
bad ; but as we have a faint suspicion that
the best, or even the geed was net hhewn
te us, any expression of opinion upon the
evidence submitted would be out of place.
Certain it is that the new Sumatra will
net be sold for a great deal less thau
prescut quotations ut Amsterdam. If
growers will leall carry out the new
generally adopted programme of raising
Havana seed this year, the price of Sum 1-
tra will have very little bearing
upon tlie market What ngitatcs the
minds new of packers, dealers aud manu
facturers is hew te bridgu ever the
spring, summer and fall for flne tobicjes.
It stands te reason that whatever of the
'83 crop turns out flne will be picked from
the market very rapidly, aud as can be
imagined, at no little prellt te paokers.
If, as we said bofero, Havana seed is raised
this year almost exclusively, it will be
bought when barely out ei the ground.
The sales ei the week showed mere
spirited inquiries ler '81 Peunsylvaula,
aud prices for the same, especially for
mero wrapper lets, improved considerably.
