THE POLITICAL GUILLOTINE.

The axe of the Post-office Department

has been sharpened, and it is now doing its work with the neatness and dispatch of the guillotine. The great work of reform is being carried out by that ardent anti-snapper, Maxwell, with the same celerity that characterized the conduct of the present Vice President four years ago, and the strongest Hill man can make no complaint. The machine is in motion, the whiz of the axe resounds through the department and every few moments the head of an offensive Republican fourth-class postmaster falls into the basket with a dull, sickening thud, whereat there is great joy in the

heart of the Democratic Congressman, and he goeth about with a smile on his face, to which he has long been a stranger.

The harvest has just begun. Soon it

will be at its height, and in the course of a few months Mr. Maxwell will announce to his party that he has decapi-

tated every Republican head in the land

and receive the same plaudits that were showered upon Mr. Clarkson on the

completion of a similar work something less than four years ago. We regret that there are not enough fourth-class post-offices in the country to supply one to every Democrat, for there will result many heart burnings over the contests for the comparatively few positions to be disposed of. The fourth-class post-office is declared by leading politicians to be the greatest nuisance in politics. Those best informed agree that if these offices were under the civil service rule and they were strictly enforced it would be better for the politician from a purely partisan standpoint. The fourth-class post-office is necessarily in a small community where every one knows every one else and nearly every one has a thirst for office. No matter what party is in power there are always about ten applicants or more for each office and there is a crowd of disappointed statesmen when the appointment is made. This causes the Congressman trouble, for if he has one hundred appointments he is sure to have one thousand disappointed ones to mollify when he comes up for election next time, and in a close district this is a serious matter. Yet while all agree to this, the Congressmen are none the less anxious to get the appointments as long as the present system prevails. We indulge in no sentimental reflections on this subject. This is a case where the spoils unquestionably belong to the victors, and we raise no protest against the action of Mr. Maxwell in swinging his right arm in the interest of his party. The Republican postmasters should place no confidence in the ante-election promises of reform. Such hope is vain. For the next six months the fourth-class postmasters of the Republican faith will continue to get it where the chicken got the axe. RACE-TRACK GAMBLERS PARALYZED. The race-track gamblers were thunder struck when they heard of the ringing charge of Supreme Court Justice Lippincott made to the Hudson county Grand Jury in which he declared that the scheme of legislation recently enacted by Billy Thompson's infamous Legislature, which proposed to establish and maintain a saturnalia of gambling for individual or corporate gain within

this State is clearly unconstitutional

and void, and that the old law remains

in unabated force and vigor. He read

the oath which the grand jurymen take three times consecutively, and then directed them in compliance with that oath to find bills of indictment against the Guttenburg gamblers and the Harrison pool sellers. Of course, the news was quickly telegraphed to Gloucester and the "Duke" wore a troubled expression all the afternoon on his usual placid countenance. He recognized at once what it meant for him, and that the money he had so liberally expended last fall to elect a Legislature which would do his bidding, as well as the large additional sum disbursed among the lobbyists, had been thrown away. It was particularly mortifying to him as he was made to com-

prehend why the Guttenburg and other

race-track gamblers, who had taken reliable legal advice, refused to share the expense with him even after he had secured the passage of the bills over the Governor's veto. He seemed to realize at last that the end was near at hand, and that his gambling den must close or he have to face an additional indictment with the State prison doors staring him in the face in case of another conviction for maintaining a disorderly house, where gambling is openly permitted. It was a bitter blow, and he showed

its effect. His plea of non vult conten-

dere a few weeks ago, and escape of

merited punishment by the payment of a small fine, he understands cannot be

safely repeated, and he will not dare

attempt it or continue in defiance of the law a business while profitable to himself is such a curse and detriment to society. THE CRINOLINE QUESTION. The desire of Atlantic City authorities to restrict the wearing of crinoline, or to suppress it entirely on the boardwalk, is not an unnatural thing. That well-known boardwalk is a pretty broad structure, but it has often been crowded without the use of crinolines, and if the girls are going to promenade in hoops this summer many an innocent and helpless young man will be brushed off the walk into the sand or the waters beneath and lost. Do the girls think there are young men to spare? The question of crinoline on the boardwalk is really a very important one, but the Atlantic City Council has not yet been able to agree upon what ought to be done. Why not compromise? Fix certain hours when the girls can come out in hoops and other certain hours when they mustn't. During the former interval everybody but the girls who want to wear crinoline should stay indoors for safety. Council Proceedings. Council held an adjourned session on Friday evening, all members being present. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. An ordinance to provide a sewerage system for Ocean City was read and ordered printed in this week's paper. Bills to the amount of $109.60 were read and ordered paid. An ordinance providing for brushing lots and filling up low grounds were read and referred to the Solicitor, as was also an ordinance to provide for the cleaning of lots and alleys. An order was drawn in favor of H. Gerlach for $63.60, one year's interest on note. The Mayor and Clerk were instructed to renew a note of $500, due April 10th, in Vineland National Bank. A communication from the Penna. Globe Gas Light Co., in refer-

ence to street lamps, was read. The Clerk was instructed to order fifteen train loads of gravel from the Manu-

muskin pit, to be used in repairing Asbury avenue, from Fourth to Ninth street. On motion of Councilman Hand it was ordered that the sewerage ordinance be published in the Sentinel, and in accordance therewith it appears in another column. The Clerk was instructed to make out a bill and present it to the Electric Railway Company for publishing the ordinance granting the franchise. Council then adjourned. World's Fair Excursion Tickets. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company announces that the Trunk Line Passenger Committee has authorized the railroad companies to sell excursion tickets to Chicago on account of the World's Columbian Exposition on a basis of $40 from New York by fast express trains and $32 by express trains scheduled to make the run in thirtyfive hours or more. Proportionate rates will prevail from all stations in Trunk Line territory. The round-trip rate from Philadelphia will be $26.50 by fast trains, and $29.20 by the thirty-five hour trains, starting from New York. From Washington and Baltimore the rate will be $34.50 by fast express trains, and $27.60 by slow trains. These tickets will not admit of a stop-

off en route, and can be used for a con-

tinuous passage only. The tickets will

be on sale from April 15th to October 30th inclusive, and will be valid for return trip until November 15, 1893. All the lines leading to Chicago will sell tickets good for passage going by

one route returning by another, so that a person may go out by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and, if he wills, return by the New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Erie, or any other trunk line, or go out by any other line, and return by the Pennsylvania. Motor Cars. The West Jersey Railroad, it is understood, will run motor cars from Ocean City to Sea Isle and on down the beach to Avalon and Stony Harbor. The

above four resorts are the principal

places of interest, covering about twenty miles of the coast. This will make a

fine day's fishing-outing for parties who

come down to Longport, cross the bay on the steamer, take the cars at First street and combine pleasure on a ride along the coast at small expense, making a selection of fishing grounds at Corson's Inlet, Stony Harbor and other

well-known resorts for drumheads and other fish.--Camden Telegram.

Resolutions of Sympathy. It has pleased Almighty God to again invade our Society and remove from our midst on February 5, 1893, Mrs. Sarah J. Morris, one of our valued members,

and a sister who has been endeared to us by her many acts of kindness and Christian character; while we submit to Thy will, we know that Thou doest all things for the glory of God. Resolved, That we, as a society, extend our sympathy to the bereaved family, and a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to them; and also that a proper record be made on the minutes of the Ladies' Aid Society of Ocean City, N. J., and the same be published in the Sentinel.

AN ORDINANCE To Provide Sewer Drainage for Ocean City, New Jersey.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Ocean City, Cape May county and State of New Jersey, that the consent of the Council and said Borough is hereby given, according to the statutes in such cases made and provised, for the formation and incorporation of the Ocean City Sewer Company, as proposed by Ezra B. Lake and his associates, for the object and purpose of supplying Ocean City and the inhabitants thereof, with sewer drainage; and that a duly certified copy of this resolution and ordinance be made by the Borough Clerk and delivered to the said Ezra B. Lake and his associates to the end that this comment in writing may be attached to the certificate of incorporation of the said company by the said Ezra B. Lake and his associates according to law, for the privilege to lay pipes beneath the surface of the public streets, avenues, lanes and alleys of said borough for the purpose of conducting sewage to the bay, thoroughfare, pumping sta-

tion or sewer tank or well.

SEC. 2. And be it enacted that the said grant be upon the following conditions and not otherwise: First, that said pipes shall be laid at a depth not less than one foot from the surface of said streets, lanes or alleys, or sufficient to clear all trunks or curbs and not less than five feet from either the centre line or curb lines of said streets and also that all streets, lanes or alleys used by the said company shall be left in a condition so that when packed, they shall be in as good condition as found and that no more than five hundred (500) feet of any street, alley or part of street or alley shall be opened at one time for laying of pipes or mains between the first day of June and the first day of September following, without a permit from the said Borough Council.

Second, and whatever the said company shall neglect, after two days written notice from said Borough Council, to repair any damage to the said streets, lanes or alleys caused by said company, then the said Borough Council may have the same repaired and collect the cost thereof from the said company.

Third, the tapping of the main pipes and the laying of the service pipes from the man pipes to the buildings is to be done by the said com-

pany at a fair and reasonable price dependent on the kind and size of pipe used.

Fourth, that at all times all the main, lateral and sewer pipes shall be of a sufficient size and strength for a thorough, efficient and continuous conduit for the drainage of all house slops, privies, water-closets, bathtubs and the like, sufficient to meet all public and private requirements, and that the said company shall provide them with such a system of sewerage at all times. All of such pipes shall be made of such materials and shall be so connected as not to emit water or gas or other substance through their joints or surfaces.

Fifth, all connections and sewer pipes (whether made of iron or clay) shall be equal to the best steam press, salt glazed, vitrified clay pipe and of sufficient strength to withstand a pressure of at least three pounds to the square inch, and if clay pipe be used it shall be laid or connected with a first grade and quality of cement.

SEC. 3. And be it enacted, that the laying of all pipes and the making of all connections by the said company shall be under the supervision and direction of the Surveyors of the Highways of the Borough, who shall determine the mode of laying and construction thereof and shall have general supervision of all repairs thereto. SEC. 4. And be it enacted, that said company shall provide for the full and complete flushing of all the pipes at all times, and that no pipe shall be laid at a grade of descent to the outlet of less than five feet to each mile anywhere on the southeast side of West avenue. And no service or house pipe shall be less than five inches in diameter on the inside of the pipe and no main pipe shall be less than six inches in diameter on the inside; provided, that the size thereof to be laid shall be increased by the order and under the direction of the said Surveyors of the Highways whenever it shall by them be deemed necessary or expedient to effect the purposes of the grant of this franchise. SEC. 5. And be it enacted, that the said company shall at all times cause all sewage to be thoroughly and continuously removed through the said pipes from the limits of said Borough as rapidly as the said system will admit. Should any of the said pipes at any time prove inadequate to conduct the sewage to the outlet then the said company shall substitute other pipes of greater and sufficient capacity.

SEC. 6. And be it enacted, that said company shall not be compelled to lay new main pipes along any street, lane or alley unless there shall be enough property owners or lessees in any block or blocks, square of squares adjoining the block or square where the said pipes have been laid, to sign an agreement to accept said system of drainage and pay service rent to the amount of thirty dollars per annum in each and every block or blocks, square or squares through which the said pipes are to be laid, at the regular schedule rent price for sewer service.

SEC. 7. And be it enacted, that the said com-

pany is to give the said borough the use of its system for the sewerage of public buildings and school houses free from all costs and charges for the use of all main pipes. The said borough shall be at the expense of making all con-

nections necessary for the foregoing and laying all service for the same and making all repairs to said service pipes from time to time there-

after.

SEC. 8. And be it enacted, that the said com-

pany may charge and collect in advance for the use of said sewer service as follows: For hotels or boarding houses, seventy-five (75) cents per annum for each sleeping room not exceeding thirty rooms, and fifty (50) cents per annum for each additional room over said num-

ber; private dwellings or cottages, seventy-five (75) cents per annum for each room not exceed-

ing ten, and fifty (50) cents per annum for each additional room over said number; for saloons, shops, stores, offices and slaughter houses, each as follows: saloons, shops, stores and offices, four (4) dollars per annum, and slaughter houses fifteen (15) dollars per annum. And all other places such rates as may be agreed upon be-

tween the said company and the owners or lessees, but all special rates or special agreements shall be at the option of said company.

SEC. 9. And be it enacted, that all the said sewer pipes shall empty all their contents into the bay or thoroughfare west of the borough for the period of five years from the date of this ordinance, and if the same shall continue to empty into the said bay or thoroughfare for a longer period then the company shall reduce the foregoing price schedule twenty per centum per annum as long as said company shall con-

tinue to empty its sewage into said bay or thoroughfare; and that said pipes draining into said bay, shall run into said bay as far as the main channel and shall at all times be covered at low water. Should the Council at the end of five years from the date of the ordinance, or at any time thereafter, order that all sewerage pipes shall stop at Bay avenue, thence along Bay avenue at the grade aforesaid southward to Twentieth street or thereabouts and shall lead and empty into a well not less than twenty feet in diameter and twenty feet deep and the said company shall put in a large pump, steam engine and boiler capable to pump out all the sewage that shall accumulate into the same and the said company shall put down a pipe sufficiently large to convey all sewage from the well, then the prices shall remain according to the foregoing schedule without the twenty per cent discount. SEC. 10. And be it enacted, that the said Borough of Ocean City shall by the said com-

pany, or its assigns, be saved harmless of and from any and all actions, suits or proceedings whatsoever brought or instituted in respect to, or on account of, the manner of conducting said sewer system, or of the disposal of the sewage matter by means of the pipes and mains thereof.

SEC. 11. And be it enacted, that if the said company shall not, in their exercise of the powers conferred by this ordinance, lay the pipes, mains and connections in the manner and of the size and strength prescribed, and of such material and in such manner as to prevent the emitting of gases and sewage matter; and shall not flush and keep flushed the sewer system as hereby provided, thereby continuously removing the sewage therefrom; and if they shall not provide this Borough under this grant a reasonably good and safe system of sewerage sufficient in efficiency to conserve the public health, that then and in such case, or cases, the powers hereby conferred shall be withdrawn and the rights and franchises hereunder shall be nullified and made void, when and as soon as the Mayor and Council of this Borough shall by ordinance repeat the provisions of the within ordinance, which right of repealer may by said Borough be thereupon exercised; and that upon the passage of such repealer, all the plant and sewer system of the said company, and all parts thereof which shall have been made, laid and constructed under and by virtue of the terms thereof, shall be and forthwith become the absolute property of the said Borough of Ocean City and said Borough may thereupon immediately take full possession and control thereof. The said com-

pany, or its assigns, shall, within a reasonable time, upon notice in writing from the said Borough take up and remove its said sewer pipes and mains from the streets and alleys of said Borough and shall fill up and properly grade the said streets and alleys from which said pipes and mains shall have been so removed; and if said pipes and mains shall not be so removed and the said streets and alleys so filled up and graded within six months after the delivery of such notice, that then the same may be done by the said Borough at the expense of the said company and the cost thereof shall be a first lien on all the property of the company and said property may be held and sold therefor without process. SEC. 12. And be it enacted, that the said Ezra B. Lake and his associates shall within thirty days after the passage of this ordinance, incor-

porate a company under the laws of this State for the purpose of exercising the franchises hereunder, which said company shall subscribe and assent in writing to and accept the provisions hereof and which said acceptance shall provide that said company shall in no manner con-

test the legality of this ordinance or any part thereof, and that the company shall proceed wholly hereunder and shall accept this ordinance with the full and binding force of a contract, which said assent and acceptance shall be ac-

knowledged according to law and shall within such time be filed with the Clerk of the Borough. And that the work of laying the pipes and mains hereunder shall be commenced by the day of next.

SEC. 13. And be it enacted, that the said company shall pay all costs of advertising this ordi-

nance according to law.
