THE Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, like every other decent newspaper in the country, disapproves of the acts of the Democratic usurpers at Trenton. In a recent issue the Telegraph spoke as follows:

"The Governor of New Jersey continues to be consistent with his recent record and quite as inconsistent with the honorable history of his life before he became mortgaged to an odious political machine. Declining to recognize the Republican Senate simply places the Executive in the attitude of a persistent defender of wrong-doing. But this business cannot go on much longer. The Courts will take a hand very soon. The Republican legislators should not permit themselves to be drawn into any trap set by the opposition. They should proceed from day to day in an orderly manner and present a case for judicial decision as soon as possible."

REED'S MASTERFUL SPEECH. The Philadelphia Public Ledger thus comments upon Thomas B. Reed's recent speech:

"Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed's speech in closing the protectionist side of the tariff debate was a masterful presentation of principles, a powerful resume of the grounds, historic and otherwise, upon which protective tariffs are justified. There is a militant, confident note running through the whole of the great speech, and its tone is triumphant at the close, when the speaker, confessing defeat in the House of Representatives, appeals to the "mightier tribunal," which will finally and forever de-

cide the question.

"While the speaker was as loyal to his cause as a lawyer to his client, the speech is calm, dignified, courteous, careful in citation, and stating opposing

views fairly. It will supply text and comment for many a political speech in the future. It abounds in quotable paragraphs, in which an argument is com-

pressed into an easily remembered phrase: 'On no trackless future will we venture unless the prospect of in-

creased happiness is large enough to justify risk and exposure;' 'when certain manufacturers want free trade, they have secured a large foundation trade along with a desire for foreign wages

for their working men;' 'Let us not divide our magnificent market on the chance of getting the markets of the world;' 'What country is going to sur-

render the markets of the world to us;' 'If you will give me all that capital has made by railroads, an unprotected industry, I will give you all that capital has made on factories;' 'It often happens that men will begin manufactur-

ing under a tariff that does not raise prices, because they know such a tariff will prevent them from going down.'

"The strength of Mr. Reed's splendid championship of protection is seen also in the frankness and fairness with which he approaches the solution of that vexed and irresponsible question, who pays the

tariff duties, the foreigner or the Amer-

ican consumer? This has been the battle ground of endless tariff speakers and editorials. Mr. Reed cleaves through the issue in his incisive and character-

istic way. He points out that some-

times the consumer pays the tariff tax, or duty; sometimes the foreigner. To the extent to which the foreigner is willing to accept smaller profits to get a market here he pays the tariff tax. So far as the foreigner is not willing to

make such abatement the residue of the taxes is paid by the consumer. This cuts the supports from under the free trade assumption that the entire weight of tariff duties rests on the American consumer.

"The speech is interesting in the historical review of the causes which led up to the repeal of the English Corn laws in the forties, and to the adoption of the present English industrial sys-

tem. His contention is that England had reached manufacturing supremacy through what was practically a monop-

oly of "steam driven" methods, and in 1840 her manufacturing output could not be consumed at home. It was necessary, therefore, to seek fresh fields and pastures new. To increase wages, or that which is tantamount, to diminish the cost of food, England repealed her Corn laws. Mr. Reed finds in the his-

tory of the repeal of these laws simply a crusade for free food, and makes it clear that there is no parallelism to be found in the conditions of the two countries, as to extend of the home

market, the situation of the workers, or in any other respect which would warrant us in imitating the English system, or adopting any legislation which may be regarded as a stride in that direction.

"Mr. Reed's consummate treatment of the entire subject is logical, in excel-

lent form and temper, and is of a quality which would shake the judgment and make votes in the House if oratory and logic were expected to have their influence there. But it will be heard by and

make a deep impression upon that greater audience, the real assembly Mr. Reed was addressing, and to whose in-

structed judgment he appeals."

As the time for spring elections in the boroughs along the Cape May county coast rolls near there is much interest taken in who will be the officers for the coming terms. There is an element in all of these local fights which can only be persuasive, and which cannot cast ballots. These are the non-resident property holders who reside in Philadelphia and its environs. If they could vote there would probably be more progressive officers. At Avalon, Anglesea and Holly Beach there is very little interest manifested, because they are not bothered by factions, but at Cape May Point there is much interest. In West Cape May, Cape May City and Sea Isle City there will be spirited contests, and if the old methods are carried out much "boodle" will be spent for "influence" in Cape May City and Sea Isle City. At Cape May Point, where they have lawed for three years and finally settled upon the Supreme Court's decree that Edwin Markley should be Collector and Treasurer and Lafayette Miller Clerk, there will probably be the same two tickets against each other. For Mayor, John W. Bailey will be a candidate for re-election and will be opposed by John N. Reeves, ex-postmaster; for Clerk, L. Miller will have pitted against him

John W. Carson, whom the Court oust-

ed. Mr. Markley will have his old op-

ponent, G. Eugene Corwin, who acted for two years by right of possession as Collector and Treasurer, while the Su-

preme Court was getting ready to decide for Markley. As it usually takes every voter to fill the offices, those left will probably be content with the lot assigned them, all striving, of course, to be City Fathers at first, and then take what they can get afterward.

In West Cape May no one fights because it is the most peaceful borough of the lot. It has 200 voters, nearly all of whom own their own homes, and they

have few non-resident property owners. Mayor George H. Reeves will have as his opponent Freeholder Samuel E. Ewing. For Clerk it will be William H. Blattner against Joseph H. Brewton.

Assessor William H. Reeves may have no opposition, and neither may Enos S. Edmunds, the Collector and Trea-

surer.

At Cape May City it will be a fight between the Hildreth and anti-Hildreth faction, and it will be a bitter one.

Against Mayor Hildreth and his party are Senators Lemuel E. Miller and the Democratic hosts. The most important fight will be for three members of Council. Under the State laws there must be regular Republican and Democratic nominations, which was never the practice before the present law went into effect. Very few vote for political rea-

sons, but for the men. The law has tended toward stricter party lines. The candidates so far heard of for Council are Joseph Hand, E. Swain Hildreth,

for the Republican nomination, but on the Democratic side there are more candidates than seats. Councilman Samuel R. Stiles and Councilman Charles P. Foster are for re-election. Ex-Council-man A. C. Gile, Joseph P. Henry, William Porter, Charles Shields and Andrew Doerner also want the place. Senator Miller on Saturday evening held a meeting with the colored voters and asked them to support his men. He will hold another conference with them on next Saturday when he will tell who they are. For Alderman, John G. W. Ware, who is now serving his seventh term, and who has four times been Mayor, will be a candidate for the Republican nomination. He is the vice-Mayor.

Coroner Francis K. Duke will contest his place and the successful one will in all probability be the Democratic nomi-

nee. For City Treasurer, Isaac H. Smith, a Republican, who is now serving his eleventh term, will be a candidate for re-election. The past two years he has

been nominated by the Democrats and elected over the Republican nominee, Judge J. E. Hughes. This year he will have to get the Republican nomination because the Democrats will nominate Albert B. Little.

Assessor William H. Elwell, the Democrat, who was last year elected over Assessor Joseph M. Schellenger, the best assessor Cape May has had for some time, will have opposition in the person of Charles Sandgran, an old crippled soldier. Tax Collector Lovett will probably have no opposition for re-election. For Chosen Freeholder, ex-City Treasurer Eldridge Johnson, whom the Republicans may nominate, will probably have Albert G. Bennett, Democrat, as

his opponent. There are but three persons mentioned for Commissioners of Appeal--William Townsend, William S. Hooper and Dr. Virgil M. D. Marcy, who will probably be elected. At Sea Isle City a lively fight is on between the ins and outs. Mayor Ludlam, who is serving his fifth term, is a candidate for re-election. He will probably be opposed by William H Rotan. The terms of Councilmen L. U. Huntley and Martin Wells expire, and Mr. Huntley wants to go back. He belongs to Mayor Ludlam's party. Matthew Hay wants to be Mr. Huntley's colleague. Opposed to them will be Thomas Whittington and Frederick Trefz. Assessor Charles Clouting will be opposed by Daniel H. Wheaton for assessor, and Collector and Treasurer Lewis S. Chester will be fought by H. M. Althouse. The Ludlam forces hold every office, and although charged with many things still hold on.

Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or elevated and rebuilt will save money by corresponding with Abel D. Scull, builder and general house mover. Houses moved in any part of the county. Address A. D. Scull, builder, Thistle Cottage, Ocean City, N. J.

The Female Ailantus. Mr. C. F. Saunders of Philadelphia justly calls attention to the great beauty of this tree. The male ailantus first disgusts by its disagreeable odor, and then the flowers fall, leaving nothing more behind them. But the female flowers have a rather pleasant fragrance and are followed by the fruit, which soon takes on a beautiful golden color. Most will agree with him that there are few things more beautiful than the female ailantus with its young fruit during the months of August and September. By the way, the name is ailantus and not ailanthus, as frequently written, the tree being named from the Chinese "ailanto."--Meehan's Monthly.

An Energetic Maine Woman. One of the representative women of Portland is Mrs. Samuel Augustus Stevens. She is the president of two women's clubs, an energetic member of several others and is well known throughout all the eastern states for her ability and willingness to do such work. She is also prominently identified with many philanthropies. In person Mrs. Stevens, who is still in her twenties, is of a charming brunette type, with a cordiality of manner that has undoubtedly done much to forward her success as a leader. She has written two novels and several short stories and at present is engaged in editorial work.--Portland (Me.) Letter.

Use of the Fork and Spoon. An absurd and inconvenient dictate of the present fashion is the almost complete banishment of the teaspoon. The multiple fork has gradually encroached upon the spoon's domain until even the various grains and vegetables of the more elusive sort, which were once wont to occupy little dishes and have a teaspoon apiece, are now amalgamated with the rest of the dinner and disposed of as best one may with a four tined implement. For the present teaspoons are still permitted for stirring and sipping beverages without incurring the odium of greenness and vulgarity.--Boston Herald.

Her Flat.

"Oh, Maria, I'm so glad to see you. I haven't seen you for ever so long. Where are you boarding?" Maria (loftily)--"I don't board. I am married and have taken a flat." "You don't say so! What is his name?"--New York Clipper.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, February 12, 1894. More Than Tantalizing. However well intentioned and honest the clever statements that lead to sales, it must be annoying to carry home the

goods and tell the neighbors the cost and have them say that they bought the same things here in the regular way AT HALF THE PRICE without vaunting advertise-

ment.

We can show quite a number of articles selling along here for a long time in the usual course of business at half and quarter less than hullabaloo prices. Getting the largest prices possible is the old-fashioned way, but our system of business requires the lowest pos-

sible prices, and we make it a business to see that they are THE LOWEST QUOTED or as low as any.

Dress Goods. The Dress Goods! Here is a trefoil of novelties, dainty as violets. First. A pin stripe with little glints of contrasting color, scarcely visible through the brown hair-lines; 43 in., $1.50. Second. A broken check of silk-and-wool, so faint in shaded browns as to be almost a gentle color; 44 in., $1.75. Third. An irregular stripe or silk-and-wool, the whole effect indicating silk; 44 in., $1.50.

These descriptions are dull as the catalogue of a dry goods auction--but their work is done if you come to see these three and the hundreds more.

Linen Ginghams, a new feature, maybe a fad of the season. Some fads are not follies. These goods are sen-

sible, more than that--beauti-ful. 40, 45c, and embroidered figured, $1. Similar, plain, part cotton, 30c. Scotch Ginghams, hundreds of them. A single group, Glasgow checks, 61 styles, at

25c. Our assortments do not count by tens, but by scores and scores of scores. And that means generalship in Dress Goods.

Blankets.

From one of the foremost manufacturers in Pennsylvania.

Fresh, clean, perfect goods, made for the finest retail trade and marked at probably the lowest prices Blankets of equal quality have ever been sold.

Cashmere, $3.25. Called 10.4, actual size 60x80 in., fine long-fibre wool on light spool-cotton warp, finish equal to the finest goods made. Regular retail price $4.50; these go at $3.25.

Princess Anne, $3.35. Called 10.4, actual size 62x80 in., 4 lbs. fine wool on light cotton warp. Regular retail value $3.50; these go at $2.65.

Princess Anne, $3.35. Called 11.4; actual size 70x80 in., 5 lbs. made of clean, good wool on fine, light spool-cotton warp. Regular retail value $4.50; they go at $3.35.

No. Five--$4.25.

Equal to the best $6 Blanket offered this season. Made of clean long staple wool, warp and filling. The maker says pure wool, there may be 5 per cent. of cotton carded with the wool. They go at $4.25. Called 12.4, actual size 74x84 in., 6 lbs.

Cape Overcoats.

If the boy of 4 to 12 is still to be Cape Overcoated, $3.75 will fix him out, while this littlish lot lasts, as well as

$6.50, $7.50 or $8.50 would have done a very little time back.

Men's Trousers. Worsted and Fancy Cassmere Trousers that in the beaten way of trade would be $6.50 and $7.50 are $4.25 now. Kinds that might well be $6 are $3.75, and at $2.50 there are Fancy Cheviots and Cassimeres, all-wool, that have lately retailed at $4. Precedents count for nothing here; the best possible for to-day is what we all the time aim at. JOHN WANAMAKER.
