CRESSE THE FAVORITE

again in the, Houae of Aaacmbly. Men wbo attempt the role of leaders In the political arena anywhere, noed to keep an eat to the ground and listen.- In this county the mass of Republican voters are clamoring for the return of Representative Cresae, because It is right and proper, considered from every point of view, In justice to him wbo bss so faithfully, intelligently and honorably represented them in the past, and in justWe also to the people of this county wbo not willing to turn down a tried leader and satis factory representative and recklessly place in so responsible a position any Tom, Dick or Harry wbo might simply be of no more use iu the legislative body than a dead peg In a bole for the sole object of gratifying the selfish, overreaching ambition of somebody wbo might wish to retain power at the sacrifice of the best interests, not only of the party itself, but of the people at large. It is ibis vaulting sud vaunting ambition thr.t blemishes and weakens, so often the entire political structure, and realize only by the maladministration of public affairs, and the inevitable disasters that follow, that we have not builded wisely and have not cboncu the boat material St our disposal. Reck leas men I do not care, but reckless men may easily be made followers, rather than leaders, iu a political campaign as well aa in other lines, by men asserting their rights, and the sturdy declarations of righteous pnnciplea, if they will but properly and bravely take their places in any struggle

for auptemacy.

Why should Cape May Republicans permit themselves to be led into the woods by blind guides, when they have it in tbeir own bamds to remain In the open road in the clear sunlight of political purity and honest legislation. This is what the party desires to maintain aa to its own part In the legislative body, and to this end intelligent voters will ace to It that the primaries on Monday evening next elect men wbo will go to the county convention and place in nomination Hon. Lewi* M. Crease 1 for another term in the State Legislature. Aa the Herald heretofore asserted, a man of cleaper record, greater intelligence, better judgment or more thorough business training, has never graced the Republican ticket in this county, And then, be has been tried, and by no means, nor in any particular, fouud wanting. Now, It is in the haodaof voters, whether he shall be turned down, at the behest of some would-be. so^afied. leaders of the party, merely for personal aggrandize, ment and selfish purposes. Mr. Creese's friends view the matter in this way, and would urge every fair-minded voter of good intentions in the Republican rank* to go out to the primaries and elect Lewis M. Crease delegates In every township. Right wrongs nobody, so "Stick to the right, boys," and win.

It will be observed that many of these names represent men in political life,

who have learned well tbe lesson of

playing shrewd politics, men wbo have held, or now bold, political posit Iona, but at the same time. It will be also observed, when tbe careers of these gentle-

are scanned, that they are names of wbo have served, or are serving,

their conatitueuts faithfully and well,

wbo in business are of excellent

repute and who have been eminently sucful in business life. Indeed, It would be uifficp.lt.to place a business In which the general public are so largely interest-

more reliable baudsHliau the above

list shows. The New Jersey Trust and Safe De|>oslt Company having a branch iu this city, our people are naturally inlerested in the story of the merger. Tbe fact that these gentlemen think it w orlhwbile to buy up tbe stock of tbe company is an assurance of its solidity and

profitable volume of business.

EVERY LITTLE HELPS. CURRENT

How the V. P. C. E. Society Helps Along Presbyterian Church. I Tbe Young People’s Christian Endeavor Society xff the l^sl Presbyterian Church of this city doe* something more than bold Bible Reading*, dlacuna religious subject*, sing by rails and offer up prayers to Heaven. They put Into practice all tbe virtues of a truly religloi life as leareed and Impressed upon them as they gather weekly at tbe feet of Him wbo teaches them to be active In and out of season Iu doing good, to put tbeir hands to tbe Gospel plow, and to till tbe toll of tbe sacred field of ehrisliauity, that fruitful blessings may be gathered with wfaich to feed hungry souls with tbe Bread of Life. Tbe younger portion of tbe membership of this church are tbe active workers in this Christian Endeavor Society, and tbeir labors under tbe bleaainga of tbe Master whom they serve, have met with abundant success at evety effort Th money gathered by this society la chiefly u*«xl in paying tbe interest on the church debt of $5000, in keeping up the monthly payments ou twenty-fire shares of tbe Cape May Building and Loan AaaociaJon, church furnishings, etc. Every summer for about one week bazaar la hell from which the net rm oeipts sometimes reach nearly $300. Tha latest “endeavor" of this energetic society waa tbe providing of dinner 'and supper to W. C. T. U. delegates last week. Donors to tbe provision fund were numerous and ao generous that with receipts from meals served of only $217.50, the treasurer reports the net proceeds $341.57. It may be advisable right here for the information of some Herald readers, to state that this society bad no part in any appropriation from City Council, said to have been made “for the entertainment of the W. C. T. U. Convention." Theirs waa a purely business proposition, aided only by generoua friends. Iu this connection the ladifca wish to express their gratitude to Mr. Thomas Robb', for tbe use of the Hotel Columbia, to Sirs. Foster, proprietor of tbe hotel; to Hon. R. E. Hand; to tbe Cape May Electric Company; to Captain Edwards; to certain wholesale grocers, maxketmeu and all wbo contributed to

LOCAL AND GENERAL MATTERS

OF INTEREST DISCUSSED

FACTS IN BRIEF.

An Impartial Review of Subjecta Under Thoufiht-The Talk of the Gosalpa.

TF THERE is auy one thing in tbe X tendencies of political drift more to bo deprecated by tbe more honest citizenship of communities than any other, it is that of getting into office utterly aufit for the rapousibilitios they aaaume. It would aeem that the great strides of advancing civilization, with its corresponding spirit of both mental and moral education, while it has steadily enlightened and elevated the nations, should give to tbe communities which go make tbe great whole, a general desire to bare, and tbe power to provide, sound, safe and judicious administration of public affairs. Civilization baa given no sign of tbe elimination of corrupt practiccs in affairs political, aud tbe moral teachings of pulpit and press fall to raise up, communities of this liberty-loving land, a sufficient number of boueat, fairminded. self-asserting citizens, to insure taitbful, business-like conducting of tbeir own community of interests. The political field seems to be an iuvitg one to men of little character and leas business ability. "Tbe wicked are bold as a lion," and tbe better classes have learned the leaeon of ytoldp iug obedience to the baser elcmmj^of society and allow oAa to name candidates for tbeir oWn ranks, too often, aud by. their own corruj* methods place then; poner whether we w*il or not. Our own State, though fairly well governed by quite respectable officials, is cursed in y sections with rabbles of men wbo atop at nothing that Is wicked and unlawful to destroy tbe free will of the people in tbe selection of men Ui bold positions where honesty and Utthfulnfiw duty arc the known chief requirc-

meuta.

The primary elections in Camden county last Monday were but a repetition of tbe disgraceful affair of a few months ago, and if tbe thugs wbo “run the elsetioos” up there could be jailed for the reel of their natural lives, it might have a reswaiuiug influence upon the school that is training such character* among tbe young men of every generation. Tbe candidates for Sheriff, whose bench men struggled for supremacy in the securing of delegates, are men of standing sud reputation such aa should free them from any suspicion of giving encouragement to tbe frauds alleged to have been perpetrated. Yet it is the duty of good men and true, candidates or otherwise, to set the aesl of condemnation upon any Irregular practices In the making or the counting of votes. There is a taint of nasty political melboda almost everywhere, and it behooves u* in our own district. In our own county, in our qwo city, to be watchful lest tbe enemy of good government become our master, aud incapable, unworthy men are given positions of political preferment that should go to men ■elected from affloeg oeT best citizens. To this end more especially let us be constantly watchful of the timber with which we make up tbe county Board of Freeholders and our own City Council.

Matters of General and Local la- % tercst Mentioned. •Self Mastery" waa tbe subject of last evening’* meeting of the Young People’s ' Christian Endeavor Society at the Presbyterian Church. . J “What I* one mao’* meat is another mau’s poison." So, perhaps, that is why those members of our City Council who arc known aa license members, neither drink alcohol liquors nor patronize the saloons. Not a very logical position, perhaps, but there may be philosophy in It, from their own viewpoint. One good thing begets another. No sooner had CapL J. P. Tolan commenced the laying of a cement pavement hi fropt of hia cottage, aa noticed last week, than hi* neighbor, P. F. Quldort, decided to have one also. Both are being laid. Other sidewalks remain that should be treated

in a similar manner.
