There are those who do u think that President Roosevelt ought

put himself in a position to meet t fate of the beloved McKinley. We believe however that the President is doing the right thing in going about and mingling with the people and get-

ting acquainted with the masses and

seeing them face to face. The people on the other hand gel a chance to see that their chief magistrate is a man among men ami not what has often come to be believed a person hard to approach and haughty and desirous of showing arbitrary power. Theodore Roosevelt, who is our youngest president in years is as old as any of them in wisdom and knows full well that the people wan - to be just as close to those

who handle the the reins of govt ment as it is possible to geL In

other way than by going about the nation can these conditions be brought

about.

It seems to be in the mind of many democrais throughout the country that (jroverX'leveland, of New Jersey would be the best candidate for that party to name next year as their standard bearer in the national campaign. All Jerseymen will have a pride, of course, in having him ns hniiing from the garden state. The democrats who are urging his nomination for the presidency believe that he is the only man in the party who can defeat President Roosevelt. There are many democrats who say that if the democratic pa^ty stick to their last platforms they will again vote the republican ticket. Cleveland is known to have been 8|>athetic to the Chicago and Kansas City platfonn s ami he is charged by Bryan with having supported McKinley. On the other hand the believers in the republican* party think that no matter who the democrats nominate he cannot defeat our strenuous president for re-election. It is believed that the republicans would rather seen democrat like Grover Cleveland in the chair than William J. Bryan or any of his extreme cohorts.

The last troublesome details which stood in the way of the improvements to feast Cape May were attended to at the special meeting of the City Council on Tuesday evening. On that occasion the bond issue of 1125,U00 was disposed of by agreeing to increase the rate of interest from 4} to 5 per cent. A resolution was also passed showing the intent of council to award the contracts to the apparent Jowest bidders for the work of,building the new beach drive, boardwalk and bulkhead and sewer system, the resolution naming the various bidders who were entitled to various portions of tie work. As soon as the Cape May Real Estate Company torn over to the city the f110,000 in cash or tiles its b<>nd for the turning of this amount to the city when needed council can then formally award tbesepon tiacts. In all probability the joint work of the city and the syndicate will bfe in full operation tu an tber month. Tlten the new Cape May long talked ot will have been inaugurated.

Cape May expects just as good if not a better season ths year as has been any season in the past within the history of this famous resort. It is noticed that every year brings some new improvement to the town which ad^p t“ its permanent features of business prosperity. Constantly there are taking place changes for the better. The building o( the trolley railroad which in ten more days will lie completed will greatly enliven the conditions along Washington street. The operating of the trolley railroad to Cape May Point throughout the winter season has hel|«d the prosperity of the place. The gradual increase of accommodations over the railroads leading ont bf the city has been another factor in promoting the welfare of the place. Now that the hotels have all had their proprietors picked for the summer the eflorts will now be made to iqake the coming season a success.

A rich Chicago girl wlio wished to do ■ome charitable wrork has been set to addressing envelopes by one of the philanthropic societies of her city. Doubtless the officers of the society thought that she could do less harm among the poor that way than any

Both Vandcrlipand Armstrong were Chicago newspaper men. Mr. Armstrong is probably the youngest man ever appointed to such au important position. Although be has been in the department less than a year he has successfully mastered most of the details of the diversified business of this, the moat important branch of the government work. He instituted personally many reforms In the conduct of business in the department, and made himself so valuable to the secretary of the treasury that Mr. Shaw deemed it be*« in the interests of the service to put him in a more responsible position, where hit manifest financial ability would be of still more service to the government. Mr. Armstrong is an Iowa man and is only 27 years of age. Gen. Spaulding, whose place be takes, has been in failing health fdr a longtime. It has been manifest that he was unable to perform all the duties of his position, but as he was a veteran in the department and had made a splendid record the president and the secretary of the treasury were unwilling to retire hhn until It became absolutely neces*ary.
