FIGHT THE BILL TO THE END. For six years the Cleveland doctrine of "tariff reform" has been preached to the country. Day in and day out, month in and month out, year in and year out, the free trade propaganda has gone forth painted in rainbow hues. We have all been told what grand times were coming could the new doctrine become the cardinal principles of the nation. The farmer has been informed that robbery was going on beneath his nose and even without his knowledge. The laborer in the mills has been led to believe that his employer was growing rich off the money that should go to him in wages. Protection was a fraud, a robbery, unconstitutional. It was a crime against humanity.

What promises were not made of the good times coming! What vivid por-

trayals of affluence without work were held up before the astonished gaze of the honest workman! The farmer and the employee listened. Perhaps there was something behind all these promises. They hesitated, they supported the party of free trade or remained away from the polls, and the apostle of "tariff reform" was made President and with him was chosen a Democratic Congress. And then came the awakening. One short year ago all was prosperity and

the thousands of workmen were looking forward to a merry Christmas. How about it now? And where is the promise of wealth in this measure, the creation of a Democratic Ways and Means Committee, and drawn on the lines of the doctrines enunciated and forced upon his party by the President of the United States? There is industrial depression in that bill. There are pictures of closing mills, of struggling manufactories, of men working at reduced wages in it. This is the realization. The country saw what was coming and it spoke in no uncertain tones in the elections of a few days ago. The voice that was then uplifted plainly said: "Let the tariff alone! If the fear of tariff changes paralyzes our industries, what will a radical bill do? It was the free trade issue that brought out the protesting majorities, and in those majorities the friends of the workingmen have an ample commission to fight this destructive bill to the bitter end. And they will do it. Every Republican in Congress will be expected to stand by his guns. Pennsylvania is threatened, and every Democratic Congressman from the Keystone State will be looked to to oppose this measure. If he fails to do this he will do so at his peril, for the great business interests will not brook any nonsense or forgive a betrayal of the State, even though partisan lines may be drawn and a Democratic administration may storm. And not only is Pennsylvania threatened, but other States are menaced. A Democratic Congressman from a manufacturing State who would support this bill would proclaim himself a foe to his State. That the friends of protection, plenty of work and good wages will do their best to prevent the enactment of the

new bill goes without saying. The people have unwittingly handed the government over to a Democratic ad-

ministration. They did not realize what was in store. They have repented. They have appealed through their ballots to Congress to refuse to sanction any such a bill. They look to the Republicans to save them from their folly and the Republicans will come to their aid. There is but one thing to do, and that is to fight to the last ditch. If this bill can be carried along until after the next November election the response of the country for protection would be such a grand one that the measure would fall of its own weight. ITS SACRED TRUST. The Republicans of New Jersey have had a sacred trust committed to their care. The interests of the body politic has been handed over to that party which has always worked for the better-

ment of the people. The trust will not be betrayed. The Republican party will legislate solely in the interest of the people for the reason that the men who have been sent to the Legislature by that party are clean men every one of them, and are the best and ablest representatives of the party. New Jersey, now that she has men in her halls of legislation, will take such a stride forward that her past glories will be totally eclipsed and forgotten. That Republican who pretrays the people at this time is deserving of the severest castigation of an outraged public. A year hence we believe the people will admit that the Republican party was well worthy of the trust reposed in it. NEARLY all the States have laws forbidding the carrying of concealed weapons. With every epidemic of murderous crankdom there is a demand that such laws shall be enforced, but they are not. Hundreds of men carry pistols, and very seldom is a person punished for such a misdemeanor. If every man or boy caught with a revolver in his pocket were punished as the law prescribed, a good many tragedies might be averted.

CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents.

WOODBINE. Over one hundred Russian Hebrews, all heads of families, have filed applications for farms at this place. Seventy fine farms are now occupied.

SEA ISLE CITY.

Before Judge Garrison, in Camden, on Saturday, counsel for a number of taxpayers made an application for a writ of certiorari against the Mayor and City Council of Sea Isle City. It is alalleged that their tax duplicates are very much larger than what they should be, and they refused to pay their taxes.

Judge Garrison suggested to counsel that he go before Judge Reed, in the Cumberland Circuit, to make an application for a rule to how cause why a certiorari should not be granted.

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE.

Ex-sheriff Charles E. Nichols has been appointed Postmaster at this place.

The three-masted schooner Abby L. Dow, of Philadelphia, loaded with paving stone, from Lanesville, Mass., bound for Philadelphia, grounded on the southern point of Hereford Inlet

bar, early Thursday morning. She was discovered by the life saving crew, who boarded the vessel, and used every ef-

fort to float her on the high tide, but were unable to move here. Captain A. C. Douglass, of Dias Creek, commanded. The vessel lies in a very dangerous place, and to float her successfully will depend very much on the condition of the weather. She is owned principally by Philadelphians. Later advices say the vessel will prove a total loss, as all efforts to float her have failed. There is no insurance on the vessel. The cargo is partly insured.

TUCKAHOE. The musical entertainment for the benefit of the Presbyterian Sundayschool promises to be above the ordinary. Solos, trios, glees, choruses, and the musical comediette, the "Quixote Quakers," will be rendered. Andrew Leek spent Sunday in this place. Captain James Lee lost a deck load of brick from his schooner, Hannah Champion, during the late storm. Last Tuesday week as Mrs. John Wallace, Sr., was returning from Millville in a buggy, unaccompanied, two men suddenly emerged from the woods near Hunter's Mill, seized the horse by the head and demanded the aged lady's money, threatening to kill her if she did not comply with their demand. The opportune arrival of some gunners who were hunting in the vicinity scared the footpads off. A grand concert will be given by the Morton family in the Baptist Church on December 20th. The entertainment will consist of vocal and instrumental music. Admission, 20 cents. Proceeds for the benefit of the church.

Aquilla D. Sharp, of Ocean City, has been spending a few days with his friend, Captain James Camp, of this place, last week. They killed a large buck, the skin of which Mr. Sharp has preserved as a trophy of his skill as a hunter. Mr. Sharp is seventy-five years of age, but notwithstanding his age he is an enthusiastic sportsman.

William Shaw killed a deer last week near Marshallville. Mrs. Martha Zanes, relict of Jeremiah Zanes, of East Point, died at the residence of her son Harry, in Orange, this State, and was buried at that place. Deceased was a daughter of Thomas Parsons, of this place. Mrs. Clark was buried at the Head of River on Friday. Literary Note. If the present is to be a book the Christmas Book News (Philadelphia) is full of present hints for you. A carefully classified list of titles of over five hundred books published within the past six weeks is but one of the many helpful features of this useful magazine. The few words descriptive of each book leaves little question in your mind as to whether that book is just the one wanted or not. Book News is but five cents a single copy. Sample pictures from the illustrated holiday books fill more than a third of its hundred and thirty-six pages. BRICK! BRICK!! BRICK!!!--Orders for brick left at Thorn's hardware and furniture store or at Glenn Cottage, 8th St. and Haven Ave., will receive prompt attention; or with Abel D. Scull, contractor and builder, Thistle Cottage, Central avenue, above Seventh St. 5-11 I am prepared to furnish a first-class red brick guaranteed to withstand the frost or climatic changes, which has no superior in the market at the present time for use in paving. Not only are they a superior article, but the cost is

much less than those of other brands now in use in our town. YOUNGS CORSON.

MRS. ANNIE E. HICKEY. After a Protracted Illness, Mrs. Annie E. Hickey, Wife of David W. Hickey, Passes Away.

Mrs. Annie E. Hickey, wife of David W. Hickey, whose protracted illness we noted a few weeks ago, died at 1505 Marston street, Philadelphia, where she had been staying while under treat-

ment for the disease which terminated fatally on Wednesday evening, 6th inst.

Mrs. Hickey was born in this State almost fifty-nine years ago. While an infant she was orphaned and when about five years of age she was taken to Philadelphia, where she grew to womanhood and became the wife of our fellow townsman, David W. Hickey. Deceased was of a deeply sympathetic nature, always ready to assist those in need of aid and found no duty too onerous where the distress of a fellow creature came to her notice. This characteristic led her to unite her self with a number of charitable societies, of which she remained an active member until the inroad of disease set the seal of death upon her. Unostentation marked her every work, and in her death this community has lost a friend whose kindness of heart knew no limit. She was a most devoted and affectionate wife, whose intense love for her husband was made manifest when, a few years ago, disease held his life in the balance. During the protracted illness the faithful wife was in constant attendance, forgetting self in her desire to minister every comfort to her afflicted husband, buoyed up with the hope that his splendid constitution would eventually triumph in the struggle for the mastery. Love's labor was rewarded in the restoration to health of Mr. Hickey. About a year ago it became plain to Mrs. Hickey that disease was undermining her health, and the best medical skill was employed, but the malady was too deeply rooted to yield to treatment, and when informed of her hopeless condition she expressed her full resignation and readiness to obey the summons. Although suffering excruciating pain, she bore up with remarkable fortitude, and as the midnight hour approached, surrounded by loved ones, she passed peacefully away. Thus closed the life of a most devoted wife and unselfish friend, whose memory will long survive her. She was conscious to the end. Mr. Hickey has the sympathy of this community, where he has resided for a number of years, and where the deceased was highly esteemed for her many acts of kindness and unostentation.

The funeral, which took place on Sunday, was largely attended. A number of floral emblems, the gifts of friends, were displayed at the head of the casket. Dr. D. W. Bartine, who conducted the funeral services, spoke in the highest terms of the deceased, whos acquaintance he had enjoyed for a number of years. The remains were laid to rest in West Laurel Hill Cemetery.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Dec. 11. 1893. It keeps the makers them-
