OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. PRINTED AND PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. R. CURTIS ROBINSON, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. OCEAN CITY, NEW JERSEY. Advertisements in local columns, 10 cents per inc. each insertion. Monthly and yearly rates furnished on application. Job work promptly done by experienced hands.

THURSDAY, NOV. 16, 1893.

Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J., as second-class mail matter.

THE readers of the SENTINEL are charmed with the return they are getting for the small outlay of $1 per year, the price of subscription. The sermons of Talmage are worth more than that they declare, and we agree with them. A good many people pay several dollars per year to sit under the preaching of this pulpit giant. It is brought to you for a price so small that it seems insignificant. Send in a dollar for a year's subscription and get the sermon weekly with the county news and other interesting matter included. THE two decisions by the Supreme Court, handed down Thursday, two days after election had knocked the measures up for judicial scrutiny into smithereens, would have been much better received had they been made some months back. The people care but little now what a partisan Supreme Court has to say on any public measure. The people have spoken, and they are greater than all the judicial ermine in the State. God has spoken through the people. "Vox populi, vox Dei." New Jersey is redeemed, and is on the march

to a glorious future.

CHICAGO Aldermen are engaged in a disgraceful partisan struggle over the election of a successor to Mayor Harrison. The Republicans seem to have a majority, for, although four of them voted for the Democratic candidate, and one Democrat cast a blank vote, the Republican candidate had a plurality or a majority, according to whether the blank vot is or is not to be counted. The matter will no doubt be settled in the Courts, and in the meantime the Democrats hold on to the city buildings by force, while the Republicans sustain their alleged Mayor pro tem. The struggle is a purely partisan struggle for the spoils and influence of office.

INDIANA LEGISLATORS have devised a law calculated to discourage bribery at elections. A voter approached by a briber may sue him for damages and recover $300 for his wounded feelings besides attorney's fees. The lower courts decided that the law was unconstitu-

tional, but it has been upheld by the Supreme Court, which holds that the person bribed or sought to be bribed is injured in his honor, and that the Legislature has authority to provide a means whereby he may recover a penalty for this injury. In 1890 a candidate for county clerk paid $100 a vote, and thereupon the voter sued him to recover $300 penalty and $150 for counsel fees. Under the Supreme Court decision he may recover, which will make the cost of votes in Indiana much greater than it was in the days of Dudley's "blocks of five."

WRONGS TO BE RIGHTED.

The next Assembly will be Republican by two-thirds vote, the figures standing Republicans, 40; Democrats 20. The Senate will be made up of 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats.

The State issue on the race tracks entered the local contests for the shrievalty and in eighteen out of the twenty-one counties in the State the Republicans and anti-race track people have elected Sheriffs who will preside at the wheels of the grand juries for three years to come. The terms of six Senators, all Democrats, expire next year, and the Republicans are sure to elect their successors in several instances. If their opponents re-elect all six the Republicans would still retain the Senate. A Republican successor to United States Senator McPherson, whose term expires in 1895, will be chosen by the next Legislature. Republicans propose to investigate the citizenship of William J. Thompson, the "Duke of Gloucester," and the bribery and illegal voting resorted to by him to secure his re-election. He may be unseated.

Freeholders in Session. The regular bi-monthly meeting of the Board of Freeholders was called to order at 10 a. m. Thursday at Cape May Court House, Director Lake in the chair.

The Solicitor reported having received $242.83 balance of taxes of 1892 due from Holly Beach City, and $707.43 from Cape May Point for taxes of 1891.

The bond of Solicitor Morgan Hand was approved, as was that of Samuel Townsend, Clerk. Committee on repairing bridge on road from Fishing Creek to Cold Spring reported having completed the job at an expense of $41. The committee on repairs to Madison avenue bridge at Cape May City reported having expended $351.58 in completing their work. The committee on pike bridge at county line--East Creek--reported progress. Mr. Bate offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of three whose duty it should be to ascertain the probable cost of a new jail and report at the next meeting of the Board. The same was passed and Messrs. Bate, Ewing and Garretson were appointed. The almshouse committee was authorized to purchase two fire extinguishers for that institution.

One of the voters of this precinct made the announcement that his name was not on the registry list, but to his surprise he had been looking over the dog tax notice. STEELMANVILLE. Albert Morris has returned from the World's Fair. Mr. Morris was visiting J. J. Steelman and wife on Sunday last, his wife being in Fairport, Va. Mrs. C. H.

LEEDS' POINT. A traveling photograph gallery has been here for some time, and many of our people took advantage of it "to see themselves as others see them," on paper or tin.

Samuel Blackman, our brag carpen-

ter, walked home a few evenings since with a blushing bride on his arm. He will settle down in our midst. Sam's advice to the other boys here is, "Go thou and do likewise." Mrs. Charles Steelman is convalescing so rapidly as to be able to be out again. Mrs. Captain Jones Townsend is about to go South for the winter.

The small boy better attend Sundayschool as Christmas is but a few days off.

Joseph Lamson and wife were noticed in Port Monday. They were visiting Mrs. Robinson.

A team of horses and two occupants of the carriage were badly frightened the other night by a dog wearing a bell in John Anderson's neighborhood.

ATLANTIC CITY. It looks as if the city's attempt to buy the two water companies' plants will not be consummated. A dispatch from ex-Alderman Robert Stroud's attorney, who is contesting the legality of the city's action, conveys the information

that the Supreme Court has declared the ordinance providing for the Consu-

mers Water Company's plant purchase void, because four of the Councilmen who voted for the ordinance were interested as stockholders. This leaves the city in possession of the Wood Water Company's plant, but the purchasing ordinance of the plant will also likely be knocked out.

Many valuable dogs have been pois-

oned lately, and a fund has been raised for the purpose of ferreting out the poi-

soner. The Atlantic City police early Sunday morning raided an alleged disorderly house kept by Emma Ireland on North Florida avenue.

Jackson, a colored waiter, was pursued by the rabid animal and jumped from the boardwalk, breaking one of his

legs. The mad animal bit seven other canines, all of whom were killed. The mad dog is still at large.

ENGLISH CREEK.

The third quarterly meeting for this conference year, and for English Creek took place at Zion, Bargaintown, on on Saturday and Sunday. Quarterly conference convened on Saturday morn-

ing, Presiding Elder Harris in the chair. On Sunday morning the pastor, Rev. F. A. Howell, conducted the lovefeast and communion service. In the afternoon Rev. D. B.

vors burning and our farmers like it for manure.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Nov. 15. 1893.

Scotch Plaids are not the only elegant Plaids. Those bright-witted Frenchmen have made such color combines in plaided wools and silk-and-wools as used to come only from north of the Cheviots.

All the Plaid producers are on their mettle. No trick of weave, no prettiness or oddness is too audacious for them.

No need to wonder what women of taste are wearing on the Boulevardes, on Unter den Linden or in Hyde Park. That Cloak and Wrap store of ours is like a magic mirror --look into it and you see the fashions of the old world capitals passing in review.

It's a before unheard-of thing in American retailing to have such a close and certain touch on the best thoughts of Paris, of Berlin, of London in all that pertains to style in Women's Dress.

Easy enough to say "Do it," but the genius that does it is of the kind that sways the desti-

nies of dynasties.
