In view of the high figures of his previous j majorities, snd those of his honored pro-1 decessor, Hon. Ellis H. Marshall, it maybe thought almost su impossibility to exceed them, but circumstances alter a and there never was a greater incentive among men of all patties to rally to the support of a political candidate than is manifest at this time in favor of Mr.

Crease.

The opposition to Mr. Crease’s candi dacy proved to hare been weak in its conception, and weaker in its exeention, fully dissipated, in fact, by the strong, public| sentiincut that swept it aside as chaff before the wind. And more, this public sentiment in bis favor seems to have permcited all political classes and factions, and it is believed that to a great extent party lines and partisanship will bare been lost sight of in the general desire to|

Mr. Crease’s eood name has been so thoroughly heralded throughout the cijuiity by the leading newspapers (and no paper has had the hardihood to speak disparagingly of him) that it wonid be superfluous for .us to again repeat the 'Very creditable record of bis earner. He is young yet, and there are possibilities ' of greater things yet in store for him. Certainly those who hare stood by him ao faithfally now will remain true to him in the future and accord to him whatever merited honor it may be in their power to bestow. So, again, “Here’s Success to Crease!” the man who was not willing to be turned down while the rank and file of bis party were with him almost to s man. But that waa only an incident, now happily closed, and everybody and all the rest of mankind respond. “Amen” to onr "Hurrah for Cresse !” Death of fllss Hannah Brown.

Two Prominent Cape May Citizens Who are Democratic Candidates

FACTS IN BRIEF. Matters of General and Local Interest Mentioned. A party of Mount Holly folk' dowti oli Wednesday, and a friendly, interesting little game of golf was indulged iu with Cape May friends. It was jnat cool enough to give comfort in the excrcise of the play over the green. If there is so much game killed <>t season aa some people declare is their belief. why arc not the guilty parties 1 trapped and punished? Gi-e every sportean equal chance, and let every abide by the law. Merchant I. Tenenhanm has placed bis

Cape May and Cumberland countiea. The villagers are always satisfied to deal with Mr. Teucubanm. That the Herald is immensely popular with the Cape May publio is attested by the numerous compliments received. It is very gratifying to be told that we have the best paper in town. Your name and one dollar will place it in your family

for one year.

Thomas Whitney Burette, a staff lecturer of the American society for the ex* - tension of Cniversity teaching, will give a free lecture in tbe High School assembly l6om on Thursday evening, November 6th, and will be accompanied by recitals upon “Tbe Music Drams.” Eveiy reader of tbe ^ekai.d seems to havebeen pleasingly attracted by tbe photograph and business sketch of Chas A. Swain, last week. Mr. Swain sold 57 of those Acorn stoves and ranges last year, bear of more of them being sold since the appearance of bis full page adv. last week. Tbe popularity of this paper makes Herald “ads” pay. Let's see ! Waa it not the Wave man who early in September gave out tbe in. formation that by tbe middle of that month tbe maebiuery would be kt work back of East Cape May beach, digging out tSe mud fur the grand new lake and tbe filling in of bnildlng lota ? And the Herald said “Walt and see!” Various rumois are afloat as to tbe kind of municipal leglslaliou we are to receive in the event of tbe election to Council of certain candidates. Thera is no telling what some of them are after doing, but It is hardly probable that the oommuuity would permit, without great and strong protest the paying of that gas bill or the sale of-tfie valet works. Next Tuesday will be tbe ti me for votes to consider well wbat they are doing, and if they make the' best possible selection from amoug the names Upon the various tickets, tbe individual who docs so can have no cause to regret bis action, let the suit be wbat it may.

There seems to be something doing In j Seven Mile Beach Company stock, and this may be taken as a revival of interest j in tbe company's affairs. When tbe Improvement sebemo for this beach was lauuebed, and during tbe time its promoters were actively at work, there waa every prospect of there being established one of tbe fineet ocean beach resorts on the Atlantic coast. It was considered tbe finest beach of any on our county coast, and there was little doubt felt that tbe stock, which was issued at $2.50 per share, would within a year or two reach P»r,—410,00. That was fifteen years ago, but it Is useless to speak of tbe mismanagement and misfortunes rendered tbe stock worthless. _ It Is said a turn lu IU affairs is abobt to be made. A Mr. Kl& bey has claims amounting to about 490,000, which tbe proposed ‘•turn’’ la to pay off, and then new improvement schemes are to be launched, new blood Injected,

and start all over again.

“Will you take twenty-five cents s share for your Seven Mile Beach stock?” Is tbe question being put to shareholders. So, we may justly conclude that the rumors of an effort to reorganise the affairs of the company are worthy of : consideration at tbe bands of shareholders, property owners of the three dlatioct settlements on the tract,—Avalon, Peermont and Stone Harbor, and others who may be waiting for some Improvement In tbe outlook before making investments.

A Neighboring fceeort Hakes Renewed Efforts for Success.

Many Mistakes are Made Which Citizens Often Regret When It is Too Late to Correct Them. ^HE bettor class of most nommunities \~J glow tired of tbe audacity and insolence, tbe consummate gall, If y< please, of some men who aspire to fill positions of trust and responsibility. And then, It Is quite difficult to realize that at s polllioal party primary, enough men in any oommuuity can be found to support ticket containing tbe names of candidates In wbom tbe best citizens have not fullest coufidencc as to their capability for admiulsterlug public affairs properly : snd safely snd guard the public welfare In all that goes to the community's truly

good government.

Good citizenship is Incumbent upon every man, and tbe man who does uot prove his loyalty to tbe best interests of the town in which be llvee by his acts, bis vote, be is not a good oltiren. Every man who deares the welfare of tbe community in which be Uvea, should consider candidates well before deciding for whom be shall vote, and if a candidate Is hat a man of established reputation for honesty end good business jndgment snd integrity, he should be given to understand in tbe most emphatic manner that be is not wanted.

An Impartial Review of Subjects Under Thought—The Talk of the Gossips. TT 18 well enough to turn from politiX cal thoughts just now so largely occupying tbe public mind, to give a little attention to a couple of gentlemen of tbe clotb. Rev. Dr. Parkbnrst, of Now York, aud Rev. Dr. Dana, of Philadel- 1 phis, though we sincerely desire, and hope to have, a few really pleasant words with them. It came out on Monday last, that Dr. Dana, from bis pulpit in West Walnut Street Presbyterian Church, bad the day before “scored Dr. Parkburst,” in bis crltioism of tbe latter’s public declaration that “If I were starving to death, I, as one of God’s children, would not think It sinful to take a loaf of bread from a shop where there was plenty." Dr. Dsns's criticism was severe, it is tree, sod be declared sneb utterances were socialistic, and calculated to arouse snd encourage tbe bane of socialism in ibis country. For our own part, we are more inclined to criticise Dr, Dana, than we are to object to tbe position taken by Dr. Parkburst. Now, suppose we ask Dr. Dsns wbst he would do if be were starving to death in s land of plenty, aud broad were within bis reach, snd be had only to safe? it in order to save bis o^n life. ItTnll out do to say that be would bo stealing, and would be violating tbe law, aud would be subject to arrest aud.pumshment, snd that be should beg rather than steal, for Dr, Parkbarst’s proposition has only to desl with tbe extremity of starvatiou. His creeping, growing hunger, and bis efforts to obtain food which in spite of every booest effort be bad not been able to appease, are things, or stages, ratter, of tbe past. He hss reached that point where there is no remedy. Sbsll be lie down and die, with bis last gaze resting upon tbe bread that would save, but hich be oonld not bay, and no one wonid give him, or grasp a loaf of bread, eat and live. We du not think Dr. Dana should have allowed a plain, simple.,prSpo*ition like that to worry him into a fear that it would encourage tbe growth of the socialistic doctrine. The utterance was not broad enough to reach beyond tbe individual life, or to cause any such inference as wss attributed to H.

TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.

To Be Held Here on November 10,

II and 12.

Tbe Teachers’ Institute for public school teachers of Cumberland and Cape May counties, will convene here on Monday. November 10, lo continue until Wednesday, 11th. Sessions will be beld in tbe Audltofium, Tn which tbe institute wss beld two years ago. It wss at first thought best to go this year to Ooean City, but many of the teachers expressing a preference for Cape May, the oonuty superintendents -decided to listen to the majority roioe. It will be a little late,considered from several standpoints, imt it is hoped that by that time coal will be more plentiful, the weather may be bright and inviting, and tbe pretty school, marros and their more rugged oolaborers find a comfortable and enjoyable three days sojourn with us. , These gatherings of tbe teachers are of importance to them, directing and Instructing them as to the best methods of controlling and teaching youth, as well as gaining much other useful knowledge that cannot tail to be of advantage to the wbo!o_eduoational system. For Alderman. Charles F. Quldort, who hss quite satisfactorily discharged tbe duties of tbe office of Alderman of the city, is a candidate for re-election. Mr. Quldort ia pledged to ootiUnue his administration of justice, if elected, in tbe same straightforward manner as In tbe past, and that i g tbe kind of pledge tbe publio are best satisfied with, snd the kind that will withont doubt reUin him Id the officer Tbe amount of fines doe tbe oily and turned into tbe treasury by Mr. Quidbrt, the records show, was very nearly '4400 during his last two yean' term. For Collector. Robert B. Hand Is certainly tbe logical candidate for tbe office of Collector of Taxes. Under tbe moral law no man is

eligible to a position of trust of this kind unless be be a man of well known integrity, a man of character and of good reputation, a man who can be trusted uot to juggle with tbe financial cud of bis duties aud responsibilities. Such a mas ti Robert 8. Hand.
