To the Puhttater of t ap« Wsj Wavk j Despite the obstacles thrown in the path of those most active in "booming" Cape May U> the high place it is so justly entitled, I am Inclined to believe that a more than unusually prosperous sum. mcr season la casting its shadow as the herald of the good times coming. Rut 1 that coming season's prosperity would now be an assured fact, and not a matter of conjectural expectation, If there was . a more apparent willingness upon the part of city council to sink its individual , schemes and personal jealousies, end as the municipal motor of the finest watering place in America, honestly endeavor to drive ahead on the honest and square principls of fair play to all. The iilcstion of the management of the Stockton has now been Allied, and the name of F. Theodore Walton is a snffliieht guarantee that the hotel will be run In curb away as to entice a more than commonly large conjhigrnl of turn mcr visitors ; the merits of the other hotels and their energetic directors will surely add to that contingent, while lite Athletic Park, the Driving and Race Course, the military encampment, aud numerous special amusement features that are in contemplation will have their tftic effect in sending people to the ducat beach in all the world. That grand beach alone is a sure card, and when supplemented by the attractiona mentioned above, truly It is safe to plat* confidence in the pnwibillplace conddcttce posslblll. c,

ty of a remunerative and brilliant season. But there la a cloud hovering Cape May ., which can never be dispelled until your misguided city council throws more gen- . lal Mrashtoffteto their proceedings. Last night I had a long and fruitful talk with a well-known summer resident of Cape di May, and, who Uke myself, it a non-rosi- " dent lax pay-payer, lie occupies, with «■ his family, one of the finest cottages in » 'your town, and upon your books of tax record; you will dnd.hlt name in conoecHon with heavy payments. He baa been " wltli you. man and b--y, for many, many years. He knowsOapeMay llkeabook. I' and no one Is more sincerely Interested in lis tuccesA HO one has over given V sounder advice to the natives; no one A baa more readily responded to a call H upon his purse. Now what do you think h this gentleman had to aay to me about U Cape May ? He is disgusted with the ci way affaire are carried on down there I tt "There la only one remedy," said he after discussing the situation. It u to mm * c •way from Urn phut I 1 have often thought » of calling a meeting of the non-resident c lax-payers of the town, and cf proposing u to them the necessity of taking tame p general and concerted action to assert a our rights. My plan is for all the nonresident cottage owners to bind them- c selves to Shut up their houses for at l.as I j three yasrs, not even renting them ; in ,. fact to leave Cape May and its municipal d masters severely alone unlll-stMqe com- , mon sense bad been garnered. The „ three years' absence of the wealthy cot- t tare owners, would undoubtedly be felt by the native resident populadon In a . variety of wars, particularly by those whose actual livelihood depends upon . Ute money summer visitors spend sod ' leave In Cape May. A* this population ' docs the voting, and as It would be the ' sufferer, you can dopend upon in less than three yeore, city councilman would be chosen who wore pledged to {bring that oon-realdanl army once more back I tell you, I am tired of the outrageous imposition, the noa-iesidem taxpayer nffare at Cape May; 1 am heartily tired . of giving 4p everything and receiving j Now the gentleman who is quoted. Is ] only giving voice to the deep-root id feellug that is entertained by every non-real- . dent taxpayer in your town. You ink e Ma money, run your town with It to suit remarked, "Who drives fat oxen should MaaeH be fat" Now ! whuld Uke to my that "lis who legislates for toxpay. ere, should himself par taxes." and it is last the same thought that had utterance from Johnson over a hundred yraraago Look rtUut mighty city council of ratnl That aggregation of self-com-pfeoaacy; that oombtoattat of abortive t-Mstorv that organisation whose actions are regardless of snycrittelsm.

Four eo'uneilhien whose names arc not to be found on the tax lists. I.ook at the records of city council and observe bow these men have voted! The result will tell volumes. " these facta are brought to one's close attention, can the non-resident tax- n paver— whose "money is spent, ami whose vote is cast out— help fcciing thst there b a screw loose in tbe municipal management of the town? Tbe non-resident h taxpayers of Cape May hold fully twothirds of the taxable holdings of the city , it is their money that bears the larger * cost of municipal itnprovementa, and tiie larger share of expenditure. Can * blame them if unwise legislation n and needless expenditure — as in the case of tbe CIcetric light contract, for instance a —stir them ap to an emphatic protest a against the loose and peculiar methods of .
