A bill has been Introduced Into the Senate by Senator Graumrr providing that thai* wa shall be printed only In newspapers publ shed at county scats. This bill. It has been ascerialmd. was prepared some time before election by candidate, W. S. Learning, and bis personal friend Alfred Cooper for the especial benefit of the County Oa- » ette. a bit of sharp practice . which is now being covered up by Assemblymafi Learning's brother, E. B. Learning. Esq., of Camden. When the Jj 11 was ready Senator Ilaues was ssked to introduce it ( but declined. Senator Cranmcr being at • last induced to see that the measure was ■ fairly started on its passage. We should \ like Assemblyman Learning lo rise and , explain why he wriggled out of this bit Of service for the personal advantage of bis friend Cooper? It seemed both lit- , ting and proper for him to do it after , being a party lo batching out tbescheme, before he waa «1 feted. We have some other inquiries which will be propound- . «1 In due course of current events on this bit of log-rolling. Certainly Cape May City should be proud of her mothers and their babies.

Speaking of bofetes how much fancy work Is being wrought to lark about them of wbi h tbey don't csmaflg. We saw daring the week a beautiful cradle quilt made after the crazy pattern adorning the travail sg couch of a city babe that was a real work of art.

The coal barons deny that they are responsible for the preseni condition of things at the mitres, and put the whole blame open the atinprs. Public opinion outside of these eonfttctteg parties is aboat a unit -le the beltet tnat there ought to be concessions on the part of the barona, and the reasonable advance deeeandel by the men granted.

Dear Wavi Mas:, ■ Fhave nnt seen you since Uw tost time, if 1 ever wished for you It was on Saturday tost when I, was in a similar fix I was Uying my best to get from the Two Mile to sbore dragging a snenk-box nhreg. It was' too much .. to endure I ie can assure you. no ma should underr. take such a Job lone-handed. I hare been marred, as you know, several , years. have a good wife and a nice family of cbHdrcn ail love them dearly, but 1 think I would almost prefer to go through '' iife single as to d>ag a gunning-skiff one ' mile alone. 1 got there all the same, sod If ever Cola Spring looked /(nod to i? anyone it did to me. I left the box on d_ the first fast land ad decided to let it remain until my.tbirstforducksineieas; i. ed. I bad n5t traveled far toward Cape .

The per. * son made slow progress, he was heavier 1 clad than I. bis cap was drawn well down; his heavy ulster stood up like the ! fides or an ice wagon. He waa wHI cliill led. notwithstanding his heavy rig. It was Maurice Crease, he. loo, had cangbt . the duck fever and was juat retnrnilig . home, when lie related -hi* experience of dragging his boat and told mc how Lme- lie had fallen in on his mile ad a linlf trip. 1 feit that 1 had been particularly fan-red, all we had in tbe way of regret was not to have bad you along.

Before I parting we both resolved that the fir-t i time Frank Downs sent us word that . gunning was good lie would be obliged ' : send his letter to some reliable man . ■ for a certificate before .we would take . another trip.
