Aside from the vicious features

degenerated.

Following closely on the heels of the murder of Mis* Clark, of Pittsburg, at Cape May. which may now be regarded as a closed hook, this last crime, unless the perpetrator is speedily detected and brought to book, will create the minds of the evil dts»ed a feeling that they can tdate any law they see fit and

cape punishment.

The authorities of the county owe it to themselves and to the people to lease no stone unturned and to spare no reasonable ex-1 pense to solve this last crime and

punish the criminal.

For this reason we cannot refrain from calling the attention of the management to the manner in which some of its excursions

are conducted.

The fact that the excursion rates from Cape May Count! points to Philadelphia arc fixed at S1.50 is no reason for the road hunting up all the old equipment it .has standing around its yards to make up the trains and even at that force people to stand all the way to Philadelphia from fca

Isle Junction, as happened Washington's Birthday.

Neither can we see any reason by every car on an excursion train has to be a smoking car. Some women may like a cigarette

dinner, but the

great majority do not and they do not like to be forced to sit and breathe in the noxious fumes from a mixture of "two-fern." vile pipes and ''coffin nails.” Became women happen to be taking advantage of a reduced rate to go to the city and do their shopping—and heaven know* mighty seldom they get a rate that is anywhere near what should hr—doesn't make them any the less ladies. Certainly the train could be divided i make room enough smokers and leave the women cars With at least a livable atmos-

phere.

bacco grower.

It originated in that section the country from which has sprung all the financial heresies of the past fifty years, the section which gate birth to grecnbackism. free silver and all the fiat money which have risen up to rex the country- and is the out-

Beyond wheat and com the fanner lives out of tin cans from the cross-roads grocery and when these chief crops fail him, financial distress follow*. The yield of wheat from thousand* of acres of land in the Dakotas is no pitiful 1 ' small that it might be better turned buck to its original. sod. The same thing is true of the

cotton planter of the South. He stakes everything on

crop. When he raises a fair average crop ami prices are maintained at a good level through the law of yupply ami demand, he is contented, but when he raises a bumper crop through increased acreage or the kindness of nature, and price* fall, he demands some kind of a revolving fund to keep his cotton off the market and save him from what

many cases is his ov n folly. Nobody comes to the aid of the

THE CAPE MAY COUHTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

For the purpose of organizing county historical and genealogid society a meeting will be held the Court House on Saturday, March 19, at 3 P. M., to which all persons interested are invited

to attend.

This invitation should not be treated a* most such invitations are, but should draw an attendance that will fill the old court house—itself a historical relic— to the utmost capacity. Cape May County is rich in histoikal material and steps should be taken to gather this material and hand it down to coming generations. In this age we are prone think only of the present and to forget die riches bequeathed by the past, until it b too late
