PUBLIC OPINION is overwhelmingly against the attempt of the Democratic Senators in New Jersey to deprive the Republicans of the just fruits of victory.

The Democratic bosses are evidently "electioneering for a licking," and they will be sure to get it. This is not a good year for bossim, particularly the Democratic brand. The race-track gamblers and the selfish politicians brought the Democratic party to such disrepute that the citizens turned that party down hard, but its leaders appear to have failed to profit by the lesson.

MILD WEATHER.

People are wondering at the remark-

ably mild weather we are enjoying. Very little frost in the ground and yet it is mid-winter, but they forget very readily what they have seen before. It was only three years ago that we experienced one of the mildest winters on record. Dandelions bloomed almost the whole winter through. Onions which were left out in the open garden grew through December and into late January, and were gathered and used as scullions as late as the 10th or 12th of this month. There was some cold weather later, but the spring was not a particularly late one.

A WEAK ATTEMPT.

The Attorney-General's attempt to pull the Governor out of a hole is a weak one and leaves him as much in the mire of public contempt as ever. The Philadelphia Telegraph thus comments on the decision: "Democratic partisanship in New Jersey is leading to self-destruction, as elsewhere. Attorney-General Stockton has submitted to the Governor a lengthy opinion--it takes many words and much twisting of the law and perversion of the facts to sustain a case like this--setting forth that the rump Senate at Trenton is the constitutional up-

per branch of the Legislature at this time. Of course he means to say that this would be the legal body, if the Re-

publican hold-over Senators would join with the Democrats in making a quorum and transacting business. No matter how earnestly the friends of the race-track gambling gang may try to

misinterpret the Constitution and the law, the issue is plain. The people understand the situation and they will deal with it in wholesome fashion, at the proper time. The Democratic rebellion against the popular will may succeed for a time apparently, but in the end it will utterly fail, as it ought to do.

[Communicated.] The Right Man in the Right Place.

At the last stated meeting of the Ocean City Building and Loan Association, after the routine business was disposed of, an election for officers was attempted. In the balloting for president a tie vote was the result, and the matter was laid over until the next monthly meeting. It seems to me that some people never know a good thing when they have it.

I have learned that the action of the meeting was the result of a threat, ex-

pressed or implied, at a previous meeting, when the present presiding officer refused his signature to a loan, where, in his opinion (and of several others, by the way), the security was not adequate, one of the indorsers not owning a cent's worth of property here or elsewhere, and the other equally untrustworthy.

As a stockholder, I commend the action of our presiding officer, and am glad to know that we have a president who has the courage of his convictions,

and knows just when and where to use his prerogative. Just as soon as venality enters into the workings of a building association or any institution having the care of the people's money just so soon is the confidence of its patrons shaken and its prosperity and influence impaired or ultimately destroyed. There is hardly a day that the public papers do not give an account of the gross mismanagement of moneyed institutions, and with the many examples before us are we to shut our eyes or allow ourselves to be hoodwinked and go blundering along when it is so easy to go aright? It is the duty of every officer (not the president alone) to see that every safeguard is thrown about the moneys in their custody and care, leaving out every personal interest or feeling in the matter.

The Ocean City Building and Loan Association is one of the banner associations of this State for prudent man-

agement. It has the confidence of every stockholder, is in the height of prosperity; and, with this in view, don't let us besmirch our record by any act of ours

that will not bear the searching light of day. Let us have officers that cannot be swerved from their duty by either price or personal interest. A STOCKHOLDER.

A Carpet Rag Party. On Thursday morning last quite a number of friends assembled at the home of Mrs. Frances J. Smith, corner of Asbury avenue and Twelfth street, where a carpet rag party was to be held.

All enjoyed the occasion. An excellent dinner was prepared, and some of the guests took a seat at the table the second

time. The best of the wine was at the last of the feast. A good-sized basket of rags was sewed. Those present were

Mrs. Rachel Hand, Mrs. Sallie Burley, Mrs. Murdoch, Mrs. Bourgeois, Mrs. Lydia Lee, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. B. R. Smith, Mrs. Lewis Corson, Mrs. Lewis Smith, Mrs. Joseph Sutton, Mrs. Isaac Lee, Mrs. D. W. Bartine, Mrs. Ezra B. Lake, Mrs. Garwood, Mrs. A. D. Sharp, Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. G. P. Moore.

Notice. Some contemptible liar having circulated the report that it was necessary to purchase from $3 to $5 worth of goods in order to get the benefit of my cut in prices, as published in the SENTINEL of January 11th inst., has made it necessary for me to deny the report. Any single article of groceries can be had at the prices quoted, and the cut embraces everything in the grocery line, whether in the list or not, and the only exception is sugar, which will not be sold alone except to my regular customers or those desiring to become such, and other per-

sons can have the benefit by purchasing a single additional article. This cut in

prices is no spasmodic effort to secure your trade, but is the settled policy from now forward and is for your benefit. Respectfully, W. R. ELLIOTT.

Matrimonial.

Quinton Champion and Miss Eva Ang were married at Court House on Sunday, at the residence of his brother, and have taken up their residence in this city. We wish them abundant success in their journey through life.

Miss Eva L. Garwood, daughter of Samuel Garwood, of this city, was married in Atlantic City on December 12th last to William T. Leek, of the latter city, by Rev. Henry Belting. On Wednesday evening last, 17th inst., Somers Burley, of this city, and Miss Isabella Oliver, of Philadelphia, were joined in matrimony by Rev. Dr. Sterrett, at his residence in the latter city. The bride and groom at once began housekeeping, renting Rev. J. H. Payran's cottage, Asbury avenue, below Twelfth street, through the agency of Y. Corson. Poisoned Her Sister. Carrie Simpson, eighteen years old, of Belleplain, Friday confessed that she had been systematically poisoning her twenty-two-year-old sister Jennie for the past three days. She declares that she did not intend to kill Jennie, but merely intended to make her sick for a long while, because she had quarrelled with her over some trivial matter. Jennie was taken violently ill with cramps in the stomach Wednrsday. Dr. Stockton was called in and was greatly mystified as to the nature of his patient's disease. He continued prescribing, but Jennie continued to grow worse instead of better. Friday evening the younger sister was noticed pouring something into a broth she was carrying to her sister. When she was questioned as to what it was,

she became confused. She afterward broke down, and crying declared that she was keeping Jennie sick with a mixture of medicines from bottles in the medicine closet. She said that her sister had insulted her before a gentleman friend. Had she kept on administering the medicine, the physician declares that the effect would soon have been fatal. As it is, Jennie's condition is precarious.

To Build Up Cape May.

If the present Senatorial muddle in this State is cleaned up, Senator L. E. Miller, of this county, announces that besides introducing a bill to merge Cape May Point and West Cape May with Cape May CIty, he will also introduce a bill to make the limit of the debt of the city $200,000 instead of $100,000, as it now is, under which act the people, when a proposed expenditure is to be made, may vote at a popular election on the matter. Senator Miller says that this action will allow Cape May

to make many needed improvements. On the other hand the opponents of these bills say that it is a scheme entered into by Councils and the Senator, who has just been appointed superintendent of the Carlton property, which occupies about one-half of Cape May Point, in order that the Senator, who is a contractor, may build up the now unsightly condition of Cape May Point's beach front at a cost of $30,000 to $40,000. This would also allow the Senator, the opponents say, to colonize from 300 to 500 men at Cape May Point, and have them ready to vote for his re-election to the Senate next fall, for which he has already announced himself as a candidate.

Treacherous Jersey Sand.

J. P. Heraty, a young Philadelphian stopping at the Mansion House, Atlantic City, had an exciting adventure late Saturday afternoon, which, but for the opportune arrival of assistance, might have resulted in his death. Heraty was

driving a pair of spirited horses along the beach from South Atlantic City, when the animals plunged into a quick-

sand. Heraty held the lines and was pulled from the carriage. He was kicked several times by the floundering horses,

and was lying unconscious with the waves washing over him when several laborers who witnessed the accident

came to his aid. The horses were buried breast deep in the sand and were taken out with much difficulty.

Women's Overgarments. The importers evidently know what is going on here in the Women's Wrap store. Such an outlet for goods is to some of them like finding a spring in the desert. Very well, they have only to make prices tempting enough on grades that we handle--the rest goes without saying. Here are Fine Ulsters Imported Cloth Capes Rich Velvet Wraps Choice enough for any woman's wear, made as model garments are made, finished as works of art. Some of them are less than half what the close retail price would naturally be. Women's Coats are in the thickest of it, too. Coats at $2.50, at $4, at $5, at $8, at $10--all along the line. And not one of them but would be grand value at double or more. For instance: these Box Coats and Reefers; Diagonals, Cheviots, Meltons of really fine grades trimmed with choice furs, braids and velvets, AT $5 EACH.

You needn't think back for more than one moon to see just like them at $12 or $15. At $10 each handsome Coat is of fine French and German Beavers in selected shades--kinds that have been up to $30. Men's Suits to Order. We are making fully onethird more Men's Suits to measure than last year at this time. Have been doing it for a month past.

Good reason why. Goods that would ordinarily be $55 and $60 the Suit, made up, are going at $30, and $35 Suits are in reach at $22.50.
