We hope the dawn of better days la upon Cape Hay, and that thevcru-bratc-hias methods of the past, made still morn Impotent by aaplcas modes of dealing with public affairs are becoming day byday a mere memory. There arc evidences , of a revival that revives. We welcome it with opeo arms. We believe It baa come to remain If kindly treated ud en ; i oouraged.

Lot something more happen In the same line till there , Is u awakening that extends from one . end of th« town to the other. Bpoakirg of this reminds us that tlu-re has nut been ! for years the activity In Cape Hay real , estate aa obtains at present. We think . it largoly due to the Mt. Vernon land ; Company that it has been brought about This concern has placed the claims of 1U possessions as a dealt able spot "for seaside homes prominently before the public, ana In doing so Cape May In general baa been advertised in a way which baa been productive of result*. The real estate operations of Mayor Ed. numd'a office have also been the means of stimulating Uio home market He baa consummated some big events of late which had a decided tendency to bull fta market. There are other exchanges and sales of properties which go to show thai the real estate market is unusually active. If council does nut interfere adversely It will go on. Tbs council committee has notlAed Urn Ht. Vernon Company through the recorder that the city will not furnish any water for the new settlement that la going np on the beach by the wooden elephant. This action of council baa •topped another enterprise, that waa already to start up. the papers being readyto sign.

, VTHB8B. OPR MABTKRB," c, Serving and Plain-spoken non- ? Resident Tax Payer--Thn f Home Enemies to Capw Mnyw progreea. Pmunxxruu. May 21st, 1888. - OoQritkh your good work ! The true aemimeut of those most inlerdrd In CapeMay'a advance Is behind you." your efforts to uproot weeds, to incite enterm» prise and liberality, and to make Cape ca May the summer resort of the Atlantic coast, are bring watched, ebcoutaged. ». and spplaudrd by all those who have the welfare of your beantifui city at " heart ! It is a refreshing novelty, a glorious sign of implied progrem, to see the cobwebaon your town being swept away by a home-made broom. There was a time— and it has riot been so long ago, either— when to criticize a ttppe ( Mayman, official, event, or defect—except in • a flattering way—was considered a cnmc. •J It was declared blgb treason .' The outsider—it was generally be who was the „ critic— who dared to raise his voice . against the municipal ^mismanagement, is was at once looked upon as one to'bc " put into a strait jacket or run out of town on a rail. The newspapers of Cape May appeared to be muaalcd through a mistaken notion of fictitious self-interest, ' while if the lruih— the plain honest g truth— in regard to the colossal blunders . I, of your city fathers happened to appear In the Philadelphia papers through the sharp pen of a visiting correspondent, ( y that correspondent was ante to be de- , nounccd aa a liar in no measured terms. a For years and j caret Cape May foolishly „ followed the Ostrich policy of trying to ' r conceal Its defects, without ever making 1 . one honest effort to eradicate them. 5 Your people seemed to be willing to i grope In the dark rather than to expend 1 collectively a d >llar for a lantern. Ev. crybody was a'rald that his neighbor | ; might get more light than be did. I am | " glad, sincerely glad, to notice that, since , 1 you have assumed the proprietorship of : (he Wave, the beautiful town bus at , : last, within its borders, an honest, cour- j ; sgemia, feadcaa paper, in whose columns ' may be found truth and honest advice. - 1 am rraily to admit that when a Philadelphia journal trains its guns upon Cape ' May's municipal doings, the place, to a 1 I certain degree. I* damaged In the eyes ' ■ of the outside public. Capitalists then hesitate to invest money in your local i . enterprises ; and summer visitors— the ' I real and actual proof of all your great- < 1 neaa — turn elsewhere for a resort for the r hot months. But sound home criticism t i — such as the Ways has been indulging , In— can only accrue to the benefit of all. j Your own long-blind people must surely have Uieir eyes opened; capitalists are 1 not slow to observe that there Is a spirit ' of progress at work in the Iowa, and the ' I summer visitor and cottage owner are * ' persuaded that if tile W in is battling ' ' foe their rights and for their comfort, why, therefore, a once charming resort l must be more charming than ever. So t 1 go with tour good work, Mr. Publisher. J ■ It it working wonders— not rapidly, but - Since 1875 1 have heyn paying taxes a to the authorities of your city. I am one 1 1 of those object ionable ones known as the i "non-resident tax payer," and am wbh | 1 you only In the summer months. My ■poney finds ready welcome ; but my „ 1 voice and my vote are ostracized. For , 1 one like me to presume to offer advice , your city Council la, I am aware, an , 1 act likely to bring curses upon niyliead. ' through the columns of the Wave. ; I would like to addreas a few plain J t utha to the municipal masters who by { their gigantic scllbiraess. exasperating ; Indifference, and colossal conceit, are 1 halting the progress of Caps May, disgusting I If profitable patrons, and rush- 1 ing the place into a sea of debt For c 1 wbgt were you elected, you council men 1 ' I look after tbobest interest of the pea. < pic ? Then why do you not do it ! You c 1 were chosen, councilman, my dear sirs, 1 represent, not swursr/rrs, but the lax. i payers, both resident and non-resident, t ' even be It that the latter has no vote- j ; But you mutt remember, vote or no vote, i his interests are always in your keeping.. , It is a sacred trust. The entire tax hat i ' of Cape May will be found to be two- ' thirds non-resident. Burcly when you , ' have the spending of their money, you , ■ should be careful to regard the Interests " of th sc non-resident owners. But do | 1 you! Your actions In the past and the , J present say otherwise. My dear airs, , 1 the majority of your municipal body , ' pay no taxes upon real estate, notwith- ■ standing, some of it* members are loud- ' est in voice and moat energetic in spend- ■ log the city's money. • The real legislation that this town area ' In a year might be put Into a thimble, without any undue crowding! The ! I minutes of Councils ere a record of s blunders; 1U official acta a aerie, of mis- » takes, find its general jealousy the fru t 1 s of telfislinett, blindnesa, and stubborn- ' tl neaa. The limitations of the city chars u-r have teen < xceedrd in the btinlen- - some debt that hat been piled up 1 through financial incompetency. Capita taliats, ready to bring tlieir money to t your town have bad blgb batriera placed f In theirneth. while non re«ident property - owners have been imposed u|>on in the r collection of t taxes, and In the onep sided enforrement of the laws relating i thereto. Upon Its summer visitors, ' hotel guests and cottage residents. Cape • May rcllei, and has to rely, for I's exist- - ence ; the money they bring Is the blood f of the town ; without It the municipal t vein* would be empty. You know thi* t is a ftct ; a hard stubborn font ! And it why is not your general

policy laid upon lines that would tempt Cape May the cottage builder and the hotel guesL .Can you not let the truth ttoso through your heads, that the more building enteroriaea are encouraged gr be re, the greater will be tbe tax return so tbe future. But do you encourage th theml No, sirs; Tou do not! Your di appears to be to halt pro- P. great, smother reform, drire out enter- B; prise, scuttle industry and sink advance- bl menu Look at your mean contemptl- in ble warfare up a. loading official of your vt town a liberal, pub.'lc-splrili-d man di who has done more for the city than qt any ten men who have lived within It. 1c limits. Recall how you have hampered fit his movements through envy ; cramped SI hit effort* through spite, thrown oh- ac staclea in hit way thtough malice, and H have . always endeavored to kill any a measure with which you Imagined he ol might be connected, be It ever so re- hi motely. Is this looking after tbe brat sc Interests of the tax payers? For In- sc atanos, your tnaalerij indifference to the U wants of the Mount Vernon Land Com- at pany may drive that oonoern away— a It; eenoern of tmmmse profit to you In the g> future. Tbe company certainly met Council mare than Wt way ; Its enter- d prise Is one calculated to bring thou- C randa of dollars to tin town— but you 0 to care not for that.

could sec all that was going, men washed off the stranded vessel* and drowned but oould do nothing to help them.
