long Democrat, and for sixty-nine years

control of the federal government.

Tobacco Mems Quarrel.

Last evening Mr.. A. Reissmann and Mr..
Gus. Bunzl, well-known tobacco dealers, got
into an alteration at the Caldwell house,
during which Bunzl struck Reissmann in
the face, and broke his artificial teeth.
Both gentlemen have employed counsel,
but no complaint of assault and battery
has yet been made by Mr.. Reissmann.
The origin of the difficulty appears to
have been that Reissmann purchased
crops of tobacco from Hugh S. Long,
James Collins, Thos. X. Pusey and Lewis
Heisler, of Drumore township, and that
when the tobacco was delivered Mr..
Reissmann insisted ON "docking"
the growers, on the ground that the
tobacco was not nearly so good
as the samples shown. The growers in
sisted on the price agreed upon, or the re-
turn of the tobacco. Mr.. Reissmam re-
fused to do either, whereupon the growers

THE time and place for holding the
Democratic national convention seem to
have been neither chosen with reference
to any particular interest nor for any
candidates benefit. As usual with dis
interested political movements, this one
was sensible and satisfactory. The time
is just long enough after the Republican
convention, and not too long. Theplace
is fairly equidistant from different local
tiles, and as Ohio is close state, the ad-
vantages of having the convention with
in its borders, will be more sensibly ap-
preciated than anywhere else. There
seems to have been good feeling prevail
ing in the national committee, and not
only the mere enthusiasm of determina-
tion to win, but the better resolution to
shape the party policy so that success
will be well assured. If the opinions of
representative men mean anything, per
sonal considerations are to be sunken and
a deaf ear turned to shrieks of locality.
No one mans nomination is essential to
success, nor is any reputable Democrat
to be reviled and spit upon and despised
to please faction who do not like him.
1t is likely to he in the Democratic con-
vention as it has generally been in our
political history, that the rivalry of lead
ing candidates will destroy them all, and
harmony will be invoked by new or less
prominent name. Ii, as Mcclure tele-
graphs from Washington, the successor
to the present outlook will be some such
man as Judge Stephen j. Field, or Henry
B. Payne, of Ohio, or even Judge John

Obituary..

David Landreth, the well-known seed
grower and merchant, of Philadelphia,
died yesterday at his residence at Blooms
dale, on the Delaware, aged 7S years. He
was one of the largest seed dealers in this
country and the head of the present firm
of D. Landreth & Sons, ON Sixth street,
above Chestnut. In the year 1927 he was
active in founding the Pennsylvania horti-
cal society, and in the following year he
was chosen it's corresponding secretary,
which Office he filled for nine successive
years.
Mr.. John Rice, the we'll known builder
and contractor, died at his residence in
Philadelphia, yesterday morning, after a
protracted illness. He was born in the old
q Northern Liberties " in 1912, and was,
at an early age, apprenticed to the carpen-
ter's trade. He continued in the business
after serving his apprenticeship, and grad
ually became one of the largest single con-
tractors in Philadelphia. His largest sin
gle contract was taken in 1852. in connec-
tion with Charles Heebner and John Baird
for the marble work in the capital exten-
sion at Washington, amounting to nearly
$4,000, 900. He also secured portion of
the marble contract for the Washington
postofice. In Philadelphia Mr.. Rice erected
a large number of important buildings, in
Guiding the Continental hotel, many mar
ket houses, banks and railroad buildings.

THE DRAMA,
Danites" at the Opera House.

:. ..Danites" at the Opera House.
About the only redeeming feature Of the
performance of MiIler's play of "The
Danites," by Manager James Wards COM
pany, at Fulton opera house, last evening,
where an audience of goodly numbers had
assembled, was Miss Marie Wellesley's S
rendition of the character of Billy Piper,
which was in all respects an artistic and
finished piece of work. Her portrature of
the hunted victim of Mormon hate and re-
venge, living in an atmosphere of despair,
and in constant agony of fear lest her mas
culne guise should be pierced and her
identity discovered, only to be exposed to
the bullet of the assassin, was fine exhi-
bition of acting. and did not appeal in vain
for the approval of the audience. She was
certainly deserving of far better support ;
for while Mr.. Taylor's abilities as an
actor probably fit him for a proper repre-
sentation of the character of Sandy IKc Gee,
he didn't make much out of it last evening,
not being up in his lines, and the palpable
unnaturalness of his acting was trying to
the spectator. The remainder of the cast
contributed their share toward making the
judicious grieve, although the young lady
who filled the role of the schoolmistress,
while manifestly an amateur and new to
the stage, is probably possessed of talent
that is sorely in need of cultivation. She
needs to throw more spirit into her work,
through her spasmodic attempts to do SO
last evening did not fall far short of ludi-
crous in their effect. The pair of big St.
Bernard pups and the black bloodhound
mentioned yesterday were introduced in
one scene, and excited the admiration of
the audience.
