vt r. converse. Democrat, of Ohie, has
tested the nense of the Heuse en the
tariff Usueand has secured a demonstra
tion that It is opposed, at least, te any
Inorcase in the duties ; and the vote by
which the preposition te lncreaae the
duty en wool was defeated was be clesu
as te make It apparent that a decrease
In duties Is net likely te be approved by
a majority of the Heuse The vete wns
120 against the Increase of the duty en
wool and 110 in favor;
We confess te a geed deal of surprise
at the strength of the affirmative vote,
and at the position of seme of the men
who no voted. Tliere are forty-etio
Democrats in Ihe UsUleng with seventy
eight Republicans : while ihe one him.
drcd and fourlcen Democrats who voted
ngalnst nn Increase of the -duty were
accempnnicd by but twelve Republi
cans. , ... i
We consider it te be very clear that
the fortyeno Damecrats were wrong
and the ene hundred and fourteen right,
as would be the natural, theuch net
Indisputable, conclusion from their
respective numbers. We de net believe
that a hundred and fourteen Democratic
congressmen should lead forty-eno by
the nose en the tnriff issue and teach
tbcm Just what they shall think and just
hew they shall sneezs; but we de
talieve that when forty-one Democratic
congressmen vete upon an important
political question like this against one
hundred nud fourteen of their party
associates, they assume a responsibility
of which they can only acquit themselves
by a clear demonstration that they were
right and their brethren wrong.
And we unhesitatingly say that they
cannot show that they were right in
voting for an increase in the duty en
wool. We alllrm confidently that the
sense of the country will net approve
any Increase In duties. There Is ground
f or a difference of opiulenasto whether
the majority of the people demand a
reduction of tariff duties at present, but
there i3 no doubt at all that they de net
deshoanlucreaseef duties ; and particu
larly of the duty en wool, which is a raw
material of manufacture and, as such,
one of the thlng3 which should as speedt
ly as possible be put upon the free
list. There are some people who grew
wool who desire a hich duty en it, iu
the hope that It will increase its price ;
hut these who use woolen goods, and
th03e who manufacture them, being the
great mass of the paep'.e, want cheip
wool aud cheap goedi. The growers if
wool de net number one In a theusai-d
of the whole people, if se many, and
hew wrong it is te consider their inter inter
eats as paramount te the Interests of tlu
wool making and censumlug people.
We tire surprised and mortified te lind
among these who voted for a higher
duty en wool, Mr. Randall, Mr. Hop Hep
kins, Mr. Mutchler, Mr. Ernientreutnnd
ether Pennsylvania Damecrats. We
regiet their votes, net only because we
conceive that they were wrong, but also
because they put the Democracy of
Pennsylvania in what, lu our judgment,
is a filse position before the country ;
namely, as bjiug in favor of high pro
tective duties without just discrimina
tion as te their measure or quality. That
is net the position of tiie Pennsylvania
Democracy, as it is net the position of
sensible men ; and for our represen
tatives te assume it discredits the
Pennsylvania Democracy, putting us
before the nation as r.ibkl protectionists,
who see in protection a panacea for all
our ills, aud who held that duties never
go wrong when they go up. We have
net understood that this is the teal
belief of the Democratic congressmen
who voted for an tnura.MO in the duty en
wee, and we cannot understand their
votes. Certainly, if they really believe
in an increase of duties, en raw materials
especially, we cannot sustain them.
Mr Randall Is a candidate for presi
dent nud expects the vete of the Penn
sylvania delegation. But it will de him
ue gced, based en a demaud for an in
crea&e in the wool duty ; for that decliua
tlen will uever be tmule iu a Democratic
national convention. The Alientewu
convention, in sustaining Mr. Randall'.,
candidacy us a Peiiusylvanlan, should
net sustain his position en the wool duty.
It glvesus pleasure te note that William
W. Eaten, of Connecticut, who uever
votes wrong, voted once mere ou the
rluht side uguinst the increase of the
duty.

Mayer Reseiimiller, iu his innugutul,
sajB, Breaking of the new Worthlugten
pump : " Ner has nny prevision beeu
made for its payment by any appmprla
tlens out of the anticipated receipts of
thlsjear." This is partly true, but it
dots net fully state the case. In July
last, Mr. Beard, (a Republican), et com
meu council, by direction of the water
commlttee, offered a resolution that the
water commlttee be authorized te adver
tise for proposals for a 0,000,000 gallon
pump, Ac. Select council concurred.
Later en, early in September, u special
meeting of councils was called te con
alder the action of the water commlttee
In awarding the contract te H. U.
Worthlugten for the erection et
0,000,000 gallon pump at the city water
works. The following resolution was
then adepted: "llaekcil, That the
water commlttee be and are hereby In
structed te enter Inte a contract with the
aald II. R, Worthlugten for a 0,000,000
gallon pump." The resolution was
adopted and sent te select council, when
It was amended, If our memory Is cer
rect, by Mr. Evans, by the words that
the first payment of 111,000 shall be
made within 110 days after completion te
the satisfaction of ceuncils.11 Mr,
Evans would net trust the water com.
wittee, of which he was net one.
At the October meeting of councils
Dr. Jlelenlus offered a resolution author
ftring the mayor te "sell city bends te
the amount of $1-1,000, the proceeds of
which shall be devoted te the payment
of theJQiat instalment en the cost of the
pump." The resolution was udepted In
select and common councils. New, he
far no the payment for this pump is con
cerned, it was the duty of the finance
commlttee te provide for the payment of
any balance that might be due nfter the
first payment was made under the rcse
lutien referred te. Hut the flnance com
mittee chose net te use any effort te
make this second payment, although
they did make effort te pay ether debts
contracted by authority of councils ns
this was. Se much for the amount of
"heavy debts left unpaid by the former
administration" for water purposes,
which were wholly introduced In the
Republican branch of councils and
passed by them.
Xew let us see what ether responsl respensl
hllltles attach te the "former ndmlnls
tratlen" for ether debts contracted.
Mr. Evans reports te councils his cstl-
rnate for the departments for the next
year, one item of which Is as fel

man of this committee V Ne less a pur

Who managed this inagniilcent depart
ment but that wonderful coruscation of
electric and Republican light, Mr.
Harry A. Dlller ? If the mayor Intended
by " former administration " te cast
reflection en Ills predecessor, we would
ndvise him te reconsider his reckoning,
for, although the Democrats had a ma ma
Jerltj in the select branch of councils,
the Republicans managed nearly every
committee within the city government,
including the magnificent city lighting
committee, which made the brilliant
contract with the electric light company

The flrfit efllcial showing of hand en the
tariff (picstieu was tunde en Monday iu the
Heuso nud the frce traders scored a Mtiall
victory. I'onverse foreed the lighting ou
h's bdite raise the duty en wool fet the
purpese of getting a record made. Merri
son sought te gain time by announcing
that he would call up his bill ou the
tlfteeuth. Hurd made a very powerful fiee
trade speech aud was nusweied by Con
verse, who declared that free trade in
America meant protection for British
iuterests. He was repeatedly applauded
by the Republicans. The roll call Bhewcd
150 votes agalnBt restoring duty, te 119
for it.
Frem an analysis of the abeve vete it
will be seen that Kansas, the state which
the Morrison free traders say is converted
te frce trade, cast a solid vete in favor of
the bill. Net a slngle vete is recorded
against It in the states of Kansas, No Ne
branlta, Neiv Hampshire, New Jersey
Pennsjlvania, Oregon, Rkode Island, Ver
ment, and West Virginia. In Massachu
setts seven votes were cast against the
bill, and only ene in its favor. This be
cause the woolen manufacturers of New
England, who are mostly located In Mas Mas
tsachusetts, want frce wool aud protection
for woolen goods. The Connecticut dele
gatiju, all protectionists, voted ngalnst
the bill, becatt'e uet lu favor of auy tariff
l.-glslatien This Is also true of the Vir
gitiia vctea cast against It. Of tbe Ohie
doleg.itien every man proseut, except
Frmk Hurd, vete 1 for the bill. These

were paiud .n favor of the bill. The

ltlr.ll Sextuns Have n Tuule Over Who
should fill Up u Urnve
A fight carae off in Hebren, Conn., en
Friday, between young Geonje Allyn, a
rising Methodist, and Wm, Watrous, the
vo:etan grave digger, in the old burying
ground en the WalIa:e Jnucs let. The
tiouble was evor who should dig and till a
grave an 1 collect tbe money for it. The
corpse was in the hole while the flight was
geiug ou, The funeral train had just Iefi
the yard. Ttie tussle began with slugging
blows and weundup with a fair and squate
Mde held, in which the old man churned
the younger among the blackberry briais
and white birches, he that Allyn's Iriends,
seme t-venty, who were Interested specta

him out of the yard. Then Allyn covered
up the co 111 u with the frozea oleds of earth
that Wn'reus had thre.vn out t'uoe dnya
bofero.
Frem what em be gathered of t'.ls
strnnge affair it appears that the dying
request ei ueacen tieunus wtieeicr, oue
el ihe geed old pillars of the Methodist
ehurch there, was that young Allyn, in
whom he took grea. Interest, should per
term the rites of interment for him when

recognized village grave digger for years,
and, iu faet, piides himselt upon it, and
tells hew many people he has assisted in
putting under the ground, and when
Allyn went iute the Jenes let the day
the deacon died, nud, throwing
oil his coat, proceeded with an old

allotted six feet of space. It "riled"

Tet icce Jeurna'
There has been a modorate Bized boom
in new (1SS3) Havaua seed during the
weak. Net that nny large packings wero
sold, but the business in 'S3 Havana seed
was fairly started by the silo of about
1,200 casce, in lets or about 100 te 200
cabes. It is nn absolute impossibility te
state whieh of the tbrce new Havana seed
(..-eps in the market took the lead. Some
claimed the Housatemo Havaua seed was
the greatest favorite, while ethors con
tended the most prominent was Wisconsin
or state. This much is certain that the
highest prices was paid for the llousatenio
100 cases of which sold for 20 cents, te a
western jobber. The prices for '83 Wis
cousin aud state Havaua seed are quoted
at 23 te 25 cants, mostly for lets with oue
tilth tillers or about ene half wrappers.
All this Bhowshew our prognostications,
made se often during the past winter,have
become a reality. Havana seed nt the
price it is n w being sold leaves a hand
some margin m the tellers. If the duty
ou Sumatra is net lowered, we predict
much higher figures for these goods later
ou in the reason. There nre about 500
crista of new iVnnsylvruia Havana sced in
the market. It is elaimed that these goods
are net en sale just new, holders expect te
reahze well. Leaven ealv knows hew
much. The tVt is, nothing handsomer 1
has ever beeu placed in the seed leaf
market, and if Pennsylvania this year
comes up te he- premise te grew nothing
but Havana seed, the rush of buyers for it
will be, as a bright light iu the trade says,
"appalling. "'
The sales of old tobaccos were moderate,
OJiiMstmg in the maiu of about 400 cases
of '82 Pennsylvania, at from 17 te 23 cents,
awl about 500 eises of New Yerk state
Havana seed, seme
return shipments
of the latter belug
from Europe. The
quotations ler these goods were from 22
te 25 cents, running as high as 55 cents fur
selected wiappere. Some few transaction
in '80 aud 81 Pennsylvania took plaoe also,
but the prices obtained were net reported.
It is quite difficult new te get bargains"
in '80 and '81 IVensylvanla, holdets having
become bomewhat mero courageous in
their demands since the manufacturers
evinced some desire te Invest in theso
growths.
Sumatra Sild lively, about 300 bales,
at from $1 15 te $1 85 The first sale of
new Sumatra took place at Amsterdam en
Wednesday laRt. Telegrams received
speak or the realization of stiff prices for
peer stuff. As there is a slight possibility
that the telegrams received had been under
the care of doctors, it is safe for the trade
te wait for explanatory reports by mall,
which willnrrive next week.

reaching about 700 bales, at 80 cents te

" Most worthy nud honored doetor :
We have called this evening, in behalf of

with which you have disohirged the duties
of your positieu lu our behalf, n tosilmo tesilmo tosilme
ulal in the form of a check for soveuty live
dollars which we hopeyou will aoeept and

raenial is entirely voutnuems, aud we
hepe you will receive it with as much
pleasure as it is affords us te give it. Aud
be assured that you will bear with you
0ur host wishes, and that our prayers will

The Dr. made a beautiful and touching
reply iu which he dwelt en the tender
relations whleh hnd sprung up botweon
himself and theso who had came under
hifl care, during his twenty years couneo
tien with the seminary nud oellego. He
was oemplotoly surprised, out his remarks

Dr. Apple enjoys the highest osteetn of
