NEWS AND JMMENTS OPINIONS FROM SOME EXCHANGES Editorial Expressions and Striking •News Items Plnckad Here and There , A difficulty in the management of school gardens is found in the inability to care for them after schools close. The Granges should make this a subject for discussion. It is rumored a complete revision of k the rules governing examinations for teacher, is eminent. Socially, Cape May is one of the most active towns in Sout Jersey. The traditional social inactivity held to be characteristic of resorts betwlen seasons l is not in evidence here. t The results of the recent election in- - dicate that representatives of the people will be held to stricter account than ever _ before for their conduct in office and the ( wiser office holders will act accordingly. Governor-elect Wilson has the confidence of a large number of people today, many of whom voted for his opponent, . and it depends altogether upon him whether it is retained or not. The Republican leaders in recent conI teats has been more indifferent than (he* „ could afford to be in the matter of obf taining publicity. In the recent guberi notorial contest, Democratic managers took particular pains, to provide for stenographic reports of Dr. Wilson's speeches, and their prompt transmision - to newspapers. If we are to judge from what ooctirred In Cape May County, 1 no provision was made for the publica1 tion of Lewis' specbes. Magazine ac * counts of Dr. Wilson's career was ' another feature of Democratic activity, * | but there was nothing of this kind for r 1 c wis. The Republican leaders need to 1 get awake to the fact that publicity is 1 the besf assistance to any good cause If the Democratic majority in the coming House of** Representatives is wiser it will not make the mistake of unseating duly elected Republicans upon contests unless the case presented against thm is absolutely proven. There is certainly no ground for con- . teat in this district, Gardner having obtained 5500 plurality. If he should be t unseated upon the flimsy pretext of suspected fraud at the polls somewhere in t the district, the set would be rigorously ' resented. At the next election tlie Nationals State and city governments should enter j upon an ere of rigid economy. If recent i election results mean anything, they > mean this. If, as announced by J. Ogden Armour, - the prices of meats are to come down, I it is cheering news, but what will cause r it ? There is no good reason why it j ■ could not hvae it -occurred before, if it is 1 possible to have it occur nqw. B The Cape May City Councilman who ■ seeks popularity will advocate reduced * appropriations for the coming year. Tolstoi may be a great philosopher r but his last escapade indicates that he » is not much of a man. Direct primaries are pretty sure to be inaugurated for all offices. Why pot abolish primaries altogether and have ~ but one election at which candidates receiving more than one half the number of votes cast shall be declared elected to the offices sought? All persons obtaining the endorsement upon petitions « of a stipulated number of voters to be permitted to be candidates The plan p would destroy all organisations and effectually express the will of the people. What objection to it can be urged? Martine obtained 48000 Democratic votes for United States Senator, and cannot be denied election by the Democratic Legislature, safely, for these B voters were not joking when they cast r their ballots and will undoubtddlv resent any attempt to ignore their expressed 1- desire. Governor-elect Wilson should express himself upon this topic. The rise and progress of any energetic [. man would make a very interesting story, which would be found to be very similar in details to that of any other f ambitions man.

A special meeting of city council was , s j held Wednesday evening for the purpose ( of accepting the resignation of Mayor , F. J. Melvin, who was elected sherriff j > at tlie recent election and the appoint j 1 ment of a man to fill the vacancy. A ] contest has arisen over this appointment j and as a result there were but five men j r present at the meeting, just enough to , . make the quorum and one of these, Wm. . Gilbert, voted in the negative when the , question of electing a member of ; B Council to fill the vacancy caused by | t the resignation of Doak and Doak then e warned the body that no further busi- , * ness could be transacted since the . r charter required that Council consist of . I nine members and it now consisted of * but eight. * Melvin is therefore holding two offie ces now, that of sherriff having taken II the oath of office Tuesday; and that of ' * Mayor of this City.
