Captain Barr Honored. Captain ( barles Barr, the tsatlor of the Reliance in the International Ocean Regatta, was a visitor to Cape May last Saturday in connection with the christening of the dredge “Pittabnrjfc” While here he was accorded a hearjy reception, eej-edally by the lovers of yachting. Be arrived in Philadelphia last Friday morning and was at the CSt; Hall thfre presented with a loving enp which had been awaiting him lor soma time. Be arrived at Cape May Friday evening and was a gueat a. the Windsor over Saturday. Wherever he appeared about town on Friday night he cheered, and when be arrived at the Real Estate Company's office, at the corner of Decatur and Washington •streets, he was given three cLeers by tiie reception committee, which was then in session. Be shook hands with all those present and was shown abont town by the members of the Cape May Yacht Club. On Saturday be was fleeted hororary member of the Club. Captain Barr said that he expected to be a frequent viator to this resort, and it understood that the Cape May harbo r will be selected by the New Y’ork Yacht dub as a southern port.

Edward L Rice, the Democratic candidate for Bute Senator, has evidently turned over to the editor of tbe City Timet a little of bis correspondence from a former pupil who is sure Rice can express his thoughts." We* all know that Mr. Rice is an able man when compared to school children; in fact demonstrated tbit at the recent Democratic county convention, when he read quite well the school boy essay which he had either had prepared for him by some schoolboy or else if it were bis own position be evidently did not believe very much in what be was reading. This is what tbe Democrats are trying to call superior abilitf, bnt for some reason toe ordinary voters of the county do not quite got it into tbeir bead that this kind of ability counts for very much, when a man of executive ability is needed something. Lewis M. Crease, the Republican candidate for Senator, may not say very much (moat wise men do not), but judging from what be has accomplished in life for himself and his friends be ust be thinking some thoughts that he does not always, "express,” as the Rice pupil puts It. South Jersey has lots of moti and old women lb It who can feed a flock of chickens or read a letter, but Cape May county wants men at Tn-nton Ilka Lewis M. Crease and James M. E. Hildmth whose experiences in life have fitted them for a broader and more useful

sphere.

Tbe Democrats of Cape May county are sending forth statements to the people which they rannot back np with facts. One of them la that tbe expense of running Mew Jersey's Bute government la exorbitant. If any voter of the eonnty will take tbe trouble to inquire-of disinterested peradHs and. follow np the facta, be will find that under tbe direction* of the Repnblieana tbe past few years the oust of running tbe state has been greatly reduced from that of the time when the Democratic party was In power, person is required to pay a state tax and In addition to that hundreds ol thousands of dollars have been turned from the state treasury Into tbe state school fond which Is apportioned to tbe various school dlstiots throughout the state. The laws for theae purposes were enacted by Republican I egiaUturea apd approved by Republican Governors. And beeanae of tde distribution of funds to the state school tax-our schools have been placed on a plane equal to any other State in tbe Union.
