HUMILIATING.

It is a humiliating thought that the United States Senate, the most dignified and most potential body in this nation, is to-day the most powerless because of the inefficiency of its own rules, or of its want of rules. It is in the hands of a minority and can be held there till doomsday, provided that minority can continue to occupy the time either in speaking or making motions, demanding roll calls, etc. The majority has no power to force a vote save by a continuous session, which few of the more aged Senators are willing to submit to. It does seem to us that it is high time that the Senate would break the shackles by which it has bound itself, and adopt some measure which will enable the majority to transact the business demanded of them, not by a party of a faction, but by the best interests of the

country.

The conduct of obstructing Senators in the face of the misery and want being imposed upon millions of our people by their delay to act, is, it seems to us, on par with that of Nero, who is said to have danced with delight while Rome, wrapped in flames, was giving him an exhibition of the historic conflagration of the capital of the ancient Trojans.

THE ONLY HOPE. A meeting of the representatives of the different churches was held recently at Jersey City for the purpose of carrying on the war against the New Jersey politicians who were responsible for the infamous race track legislation. The Presbyterian, Congregational, Baptist, Reformed and Methodist Churches were represented, and committees were appointed to prepare a constitution and platform for a Moral Reform Society. Twenty-six churches sent seventy-six delegates, and both parties are to be asked to nominate for the Legislature only such men as will pledge themselves to vote for the repeal of the race track bills. The platform declares that the Sheriff should be a man of the same character. On October 24th there will be a mass meeting conducted under

the auspices of the Moral Reform Society.

Dr. Hunt, the treasurer of the society, has been informed by the president of the Hudson county Democratic Committee that the committees of the Moral Reform Society would have no standing before a Democratic convention, and the doctor went on to say that he presumed that any resolutions favored by his society could only come before a Republican convention by courtesy. If the Moral Reform Society bases its campaign upon such assumption it is safe to predict that the race-track legislation

will not be repealed.

The infamous laws of last year's Legislature, which shocked the moral sense of the decent people of New Jersey, can only be overcome by a willingness of those people to place morality above party. The Jersey City Moral Reform Society manifests in its proceedings an aversion to do this. It fights shy of placing the responsibility for the laws where it belongs, and this is just what the men who profit by the race track legislation count on. If there are not enough decent Democrats in New Jersey with the necessary courage to rebuke their party at the polls this fall the race track laws will stand just where they are and the people will have assumed the responsibility for them. It is not a contest where water can be carried on both shoulders. It is a straight up and down contest between vice and immorality on one side and right living on the other.

In the meantime the Democrats have been selecting their candidates for the Legislature and they are going to justify

the race-track legislation on the ground that the race tracks are necessary and that there is too much capital invested in them in New Jersey for the objectionable laws to be repealed. The Prohibitionists, like the Moral Reform Society of Jersey City, are carrying water on both shoulders in a similar manner by

stating in their platforms that the re-

sponsibility for the race-track bills is divided, share and share alike, between the Democrats and the Republicans, a statement which, to say the least, is conspicuously inexact. The responsibility for the legislation might with

more propriety be laid upon the Prohi-

bitionists, for had they united with the Republicans last year for reform in New Jersey politics the Democrats would

not have had control of the Legislature

and the race-track bills would not have

become laws. If the church people and

the Prohibitionists are not willing to

unite even temporarily with the party

which stands for morality in this contest, and against the party which

stands for vice, there will be no reform,

no repeal of the infamous bills, and the powers which have already defiled the people will be encouraged to continue to take whatever they think they need.

CAPE MAY CITY.

Dr. Emlen Physick, of this city, has sent a check for $100 to the managers of the free reading room and library of the First M. E. Church. The late Colonel H. W. Sawyer was buried Thursday afternoon with civic and military honors, at Cold Spring Cemetery, this place. The funeral procession, which was a mile long, was the largest ever known at this end of the State. Rev. J. M. Cockins, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, made an address on the public services of Colonel Sawyer, Masons and war veterans escorted his remains to the cemetery, where the impressive service ended with a volley of musketry, the roll of muffled drums and the bugle call "taps." Alfred L. Conner, a business man and a prominent Free Mason, died Thursday night, aged 48 years. Rev. A. F. Greenig, pastor of the Baptist Church, who for three weeks has been investigating liquor license applications to learn if any of his flock had signed them, preached a sermon on the subject Sunday morning. After the service Aaron Schellinger, the senior deacon, who signed the application of James F. Powell, granted a month ago, was called to task by the pastor, and he promised not to sign applications in the future. The church unanimously passed a resolution which debars from membership any one who hereafter signs a license application. OCEAN VIEW. Robert Roy and wife, of Peck, Kansas, spent a week recently visiting relatives in this vicinity. Captain Frank Gaudy has had his barn enlarged by having a large addition erected on one end.

Thieves at Work. Another case of mysterious disappearance occurred at Egg Harbor City Friday in the neighborhood where Mrs. Catharine Geltzer disappeared some weeks ago. Henry Henze, a tailor, lived with his son William, about three miles from the city. The son came home at noon Friday and failed to find his father. A searching party learned that the last seen or heard of old Mr. Henze was when he stopped at the house of Mrs. Lauber, from which place Mrs. Geltzer disappeared. Mrs. Lauber informed the

officials that he walked down the street, the same road Mrs. Geltzer is reported

to have taken. After searching and inquiring all of Friday night and Satur-

day, the party returned without a clew to his whereabouts. The mystery, so

similar to the disappearance of old Mrs.

Geltzer, which has never been solved,

has aroused great excitement. It is

generally believed that both the missing persons have been murdered. Later advices say that the old man was found on Monday at Harrisville in an exhausted condition.

Wedding Bells. Amid waving palms and under the blaze of myriad lights, in an atmosphere redolent with the perfume of flowers, breathing the sweetness of joyous hope and happiness as two hearts were joined --two lives entwined as one--Miss Carrie Virginia Hatton, the lovely and accomplished daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Louis Hatton, was wedded last evening to William B. M. Burrell, of this city, at the First Baptist Church, Fourth street,

above Market.

The impressive ceremony was witnessed by a large concourse of people who filled the church long before the hour for the nuptials. Awaiting the arrival of the bridal party, the Camden Orchestral Association, under the direction of Prof. Edward E. Ketterer, discoursed sweet music. The groom and his best man and the bride's attendants entered the church from the rear, and the procession was made toward the front of the church, where the bride was met and led to the altar on the arm of her father. The scene was indeed a pretty one, and the expressions of admiration were profuse when the bride appeared, attired in white Crepon Bengaline silk made entrain, while about her head and shoulders fell a sweeping bridal veil. The maid of honor was Miss Laura Hooper, of Philadelphia, attired in canary colored damasse. The four bridesmaids were Misses Bessie R. Salmond, Sara J. Newlin, Katie Dowling and Lillie Osler, charmingly attired in white India silk and carrying yellow roses. The best man was Horace T. Hatton, of Rochester, N. Y., brother of the bride. The ushers were W. J. Rule, H. S. Thalkinner, of Philadelphia; Wm. P. Foulks, of Jersey City; Dr. M. A. Street, Edwin Leeck and George Myers,

of Camden.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. H. Burrell, father of the groom, assisted by Rev. Edmund Hewitt, pastor of Broadway M. E. Church. To the happy strains of the wedding march by the orchestra the procession left the church. A reception was tendered immediately after at the residence of the bride's parents, 442 Broadway, where the wedding pair were congratulated by a host of their friends. Mr. Ketterer's orchestra also furnished delightful music at the reception. Abundant refreshments were provided under the charge of Caterer Tomlin. The collection of presents was very large and embraced many costly and handsome articles, including a Mason piano, the gift of the bride's father, and numerous pieces of silverware, china, bric-a-brac, paintings, etc. At a late hour the bride and groom departed on a wedding tour to Chicago and the Fair and on their return will reside at 427 Market street in this city. --Camden Post, Oct. 11th. The groom was a resident of Ocean City for a number of years, and is well known to our residents and visitors. Mr. Burrell and his father formerly kept a grocery store here in the building that is now known as the "Illinois," corner Sixth and Asbury. Supplying a Want. The announcement that Samuel Schurch will open an oyster saloon and dining room in the Bellevue House, corner Seventh and Asbury avenue, will be hailed as a movement in the right direction. That a public place of this character has long been needed in Ocean City no one will deny. Many persons come to our town on business who have not the time at their disposal to await the preparing of a regular meal and to such the new establishment will prove a convenience. While prepared to serve oysters in every style, yet should you desire a full meal Mr. Schurch is prepared to serve it in first-class style. His rooms are tastily arranged for the purpose.
