Cap* May to Develop. From tbe Newark AdvrrtMet News comes from Cape May of a few real estate transactions that may be the forerunner of a boom that is to build up that delightful resort as Atlantic fit) built up. It will be remembered that the Utter now famous city by the a grew from a vary modest little place a few years into one of the greatest seaside resorts on all our coast*. Of couree, without great naturnl advantage* of situation this growth would m-t have been so rapid and substantial, but the great factor in iis development must be credited to the railroads, notably the Pennsylvania. They boomed it. They ran special excursions to exploit the beauties of j|s climate. They induced the people of Philadelphia to go there for a day 1 * outing. They created a de mand for hoteUand cottages. They provided the very best facilities for reaching it comfortably and swiftly. The' practically bnilt it. It Upow anall-the-year-round resort Cape May R possessed of equal natu ral advantages, and with an impetm given by the same methods, it will follow Atlantic City in its development. ’

Crease’s majority over Hand, 493.

Creese's Interest la Cep* nay. The Republican voters of Cape May City who were led to belisv* in the recent SenatorR^ oonteet that Aaaemblymaq Crease was for OceanjCity against Cape May have no gronnlls for such bea i as be was tbe man who asked exyor James M. E. Hildreth to become tbe candidate for the Assembly last Friday, believing that the office belonged to Cape May, and that this resort should be ably repreeented in the Legislature. He will do all in his power for th* development of the new section 1 ' and the old, too. Had It not been for the urgent demand made by Mr. Creme him vaff, AJi- Hildreth would not have ac-

cepted the nomination.

Five—The Legislature at iia last sesa 100, oted to submit 1 hem to a vote of tbe people at an expense „f $50,000 or $00,000 bat they might be adopted. Both parties have thus committed themselves to tbe acceptance of these unendmeota, and those wbo voted in the i^gielature to approve them cannot now ixpected to array themselves in opposition. Seven—Tbe number of court* will not tie increased, nor will anything be added the State's expenses If the amendments are not adopted the business of the courts will require aa inertaae In tbe number of circuit judges, th* cost of which will fully equal tbe cost of court of appeals, without giving nything like equal relief and convenience • suitors. Eight—There la no reason why vioe•'haovellurs should not be appointed in the same way ss the chancellor himself and the justices of the Supreme Court are appointed. Nine—It la an unjust reflection upon . tbe Governor, tbe Senate and the Supreme Court to bold otherwise. Ten—The suggestion that vtowcbaneei- - lor* may conflict with each other is not W. itertaioed. assuming, as we must, that eo will be appoirted. New Jersey | judges have not in tbe peat acted hi that wav sod will not in the future. Eleven—Tbe mode of subutesioe le , simple and fair. The criticiam of H le - nojnat and without merit. Twelve—No judicial system can be pan- * posed which will be accepted by all wb*' arc competent to form an opinion as to ' the best possible system. A system similar • that now advocated by tbe objeolar i as submitted to tbe Legislature during ] the term of Governor Griggs and was se-

eled.

Thirteen—After many years of confar- "( >oc and consideration these amend meat* i have beau framed by tbe best minds of the State and have been met with scarcely any uppoaltkxi during tbe three year* they have been considered by the repre-14 aenlatter* of the people in the Legialatam. j Fonrtetai—Pass them, and if tbe expert* ;, ice of the next five yeans suggests a heeler plan It can then be adopted.
