“HERALD” COMMENDED Leading Philadelphia Commerioal

Paper's Opinion

The Financial and Commercial Review, a prominent Philadelphia paper, baa the following remarks upon the leading Cape

May newspaper:

•The power of the press Is ImmeasnrsS the modern newspaper Is aa Indispensable adjunct to our dtiUsatlon, and it la nnqnesllonably the best educative agency of the dey. The ioflaenoe of the independent paper le exceptionally great; the editorials and even news Items of a political paper are oanally taken with a grain of salt;’ tbs independent peper. however, has no ‘axe to grind.' and lu sincerity is therefor* not doubted. The only strictly Independent newepaper In Cap* May Is the Cap* May Hihalp. published at SOB Washington street, and. ilthough established a little more than lx years ago. It has already a large circnnliou among the best families of Cape day City and county, and its circulation

s steadily growing.

"The Herald l* a seven-column, fonr pege paper, and In all South Jersey there is not an abler edited, more newsy or ■letter printed paper published. It* motto is‘All the news that Is beat'o print.' and the observance of this rule has commended to the most cultured readers. It is breve the adrocacy of all measures calculated advance the beat IntarsaU of city, county or State, and Is fearless In the denunciation of wrong wbetbaa In high low places, yet fair and just In the treatment of all subjects. The extensive advertising patronage of the paper is the strongest evidence of tbecommerda) enterprise and healthy business condition which are here prevailing. “An up-to-date job printing bnilness is conducted in ootJBectlao with the paper, and all descriptions of commercial card sod bodk printing are executed, and all work is done without unnecessary and vexatious delay and uever fails to please customers, the productions being specimens of the printer's art which compare favorably with the work turn out by beat rival es Labi lab meats In tbe Urge cities and tht prices are uniformly low and liberal. AU transactions are based on the eodaring principles of equity and justice. "Cape May U certainly to be congratulated on having snch excellent Independent paper, since It mirrors the high degree of intelligence here prevailing a to spread tha game of this popular resort as a progreatlve and snltnred community. No review of the growth. developmeo t and fotare prospects of Cap* May would be complete witbont mention of snet enterprise and great agency for good.'
