TBe Wan has been quoted as unfriendly to the new Cape May railroad enterprise, but such Is not the fact. What It desires to that there shall be sufficient guarantee that promises being made by those having control at this end of the business be fulfilled, and that there shall be M lapse In the rosy rewards held out tokay who have been asked and others who have actually algned the subscription lists. It Is cur. rently stated that the Heading Company disclaim any responsibility In the proposed opening of this new Tine of transportation. The sum said to be required to build and equip It thongh Cape May U placed at •380,000, ten per cent of which, $15,000, la payable when the required amount of stock Is sold. It pill be well for Investors to study the situation and convince themselves of the feasibility of a success growing out of this new concern before they pay a cent Into Its treasury. The Wavi Is ardently in favor of legitimate enterprises, looking to placing Cape May on an equal fooling with other resorts, but they must hare backlog enough to brace them up when the actual tug, tustle and coat cf building la entered upon. It however, does mistrust, sad believes It In the Interests of the public to throw out a word of caution Just at this time when the need of it seems in harmony with truest economy. Whan there is a start made In dead Mnrem by responsible parties, this journal wffl do Ha full share In affording substantial aid and comfort, but an In sight before It can be done. A. C. Gile was really entitled to the vacant seal la City Council caused by the resignation of W. Frank Shaw for two reasons: First, be was promised by Ave members of Council that they would vote for him, and second, he came squarely and openly before the public end contested for his election at the polls, while the other man. Robert X. Hughes, declined to run at the March election on the grouDd that he couldnot be elected by the people. Mr. Oile should have bad the place, hot should Mr. Hughes have stood In his way In obtaining It, as he has done at the ex. penee of his eelf-respect, knowing that Ma defeat by the people at the polls was probable. . The Wavi declines to [cram its colknock people over Lhc heed, let them he who they may. In a recent communication we are asked to print the names of signers to a liquor license, and at the name time withhold the names of the parties who desire It done. The request under these circumstance* la declined. The Baldwin cottage has been painted outside end In, re papered, and furnished with llruaaels carpet from lop to bottom.
