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

IT LOOKS very much as though not many months distant trolley cars will convey passengers from Philadelphia to New York, a project to this effect having been formulated and franchises obtained for at least a part of the way. Electricity is the coming motive power, and it cannot fail to drive out in time its rival, steam. What but a very few years ago was looked upon as an impossibility is now a fact. The steam engine has done wonders for civilization but electricity promises much more. JAMES G. BLAINE has been dead but a few days more than a year, yet his name is rarely read in the public prints nor spoken anywhere in public. The fifteen dollars raised in his adopted State with which to build a monument to his memory has been returned to the gen-

erous donors. Yet this man was for a

quarter of a century one of the foremost in American public life, and he was said to have a larger personal following than any other statesman since the days of Clay. Now tell me, what is

fame good for anyway?

SLOW progress is being made in the quo warranto case at Trenton, which at base turns upon the regularity of the rival Senates of New Jersey. Stripped of its technicalities the situation results from an effort of the Democrats to retain power when the people voted them out, and the unwillingness of the Republicans to submit their honest claims to a partisan body of hold-over Senators. The Democratic leadership of the State betrayed the party to the race-track gamblers, the community indignantly overthrew the party and its machine, and the machine is fighting desperately to retain the power which it so justly forfeited.

OFFICERS' SALARIES.

At a recent meeting of the Morris county Agricultural Society the following resolution was offered by William F. Ely:

Resolved, That we demand the repeal of the act increasing the Governor's salary; also the repeal of the acts increasing the salaries of State officials and all acts creating unnecessary offices. In speaking of the resolution Mr. Ely said: New Jersey has a population of less than a million and a half; New York 6,000,000, four times as many, and a territory some seven times as large; Pennsylvania over 5,000,000, about four times as many as New Jersey, and about six times as much territory; Ohio nearly three times as much population and over five times the size; Massachusetts about twice the number of people and about the same size as New Jersey. Now let us compare these five States which touch each other and compare what these States are paying for their State officials. For their Governors New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania pay $10,000; Ohio, $8000; Massachusetts, with nearly double the population, but $5000. To the Secretary of State New Jersey pays $6000; New York, seven times as large, pays but $5000, the same as Pennsylvania, while Ohio, over five times as large, pays just half of what we do, $3000, and Massachusetts, $3000.

The Attorney General receives still better pay, getting $7000, while in New York and Massachusetts it is but $3000; Pennsylvania, over five times as large, pays just half of what we do, $3500, while the miserable little State of Ohio, having nearly four millions of people and over 40,000 square miles (New Jersey has less than 8000) pays just $3000. Our Treasurer we pay $6000; New York, $5000; Pennsylvania, $6200, the only State official ever heard of in the whole United States that was receiving more than we were paying, and the powers that were would no doubt have wiped out this disgrace on New Jersey and raised ours to $8000 or $10,000 this next winter had they not politely and almost unanimously been asked to step out. Massachusetts pays $5000; Ohio but $3000. Our Comptroller we pay the same as New York, $6000; Pennsylvania pays only $4200; Massachusetts, $3500; Ohio, $3000. Is it any wonder the greatest curse New Jersey ever had are its politicians?

New Jersey pays its ten Judges $9000, or $90,000 yearly; Pennsylvania, five and one-half times as large, has six, at $8000, or only $48,000; Ohio, five times as large, five Judges, at $4000, making for Ohio $20,000--as you can see, a difference of $70,000 we are paying yearly more than a State five times as large, and $42,000 a year more than Pennsylvania. If Ohio should have its laws acted on as we do, according to the population they have, it would cost Ohio some $250,000 a year instead of $20,000, over twelve times what it is costing them. We have a Clerk of the Supreme Court at $15,000 a year; Ohio one at $1500. There are six States having more population than New Jersey that pay but $5000 to the Governor; five, over a million population, pay but $4000; five others, with over a million population, that pay but $3000; two States, with over a million population, that pay $3500; and one State with the same population pays but $2500, making nineteen States, with over a million population each, equal to New Jersey, that pay but

$5000 and less, down to $2500, for their Governor. The Legislature before our last was said to have passed sixty-five bills which provided for new offices, most of them as patronage for the Governor, for 2624 persons. In many other cases the salaries already existing were raised, and it was estimated that the increase for one year was $250,000 for the people of New Jersey to pay each year. We have elected a Legislature for this winter for the purpose of removing some of the curses we have been inflicted with, and I move the adoption of the resolution I have offered. THE CAUSE. The result of the election in Pennsylvania appears astounding to those political leaders who believe that what they call party organization is all and principles nothing. Organization is, no doubt, a powerful factor in political campaigns; but the leaders of both parties declared, just prior to the election, that the organization of each of the latter was unusually satisfactory, and it is probably that the Republican managers have not been more astounded by their unprecedented victory than those of the Democracy by their unexampled defeat. The triumph of Tuesday was not accomplished by party organization; the common intelligence of the people won it.

For the first time since Wilson tariff revision, Income Tax levying scheme was approved by the Democratic majority of the House of Representa-

tives, the people of Pennsylvania, the employers and the employed, to whose welfare it is antagonistic, have had the opportunity to express in a practical manner, by their ballots, their opinion of, their protest against that injurious

measure. Mr. Grow, the Republican candidate for Congressman-at-Large, represented as certainly and clearly

"the Pennsylvania idea" of Protection for American Capital and Labor as did Mr. Hancock, the Democratic candidate for the same office, the policy of so-called "revenue reform," as it is set forth in the new Tariff bill. In their public and private lives both candidates were of estimable worth and high respectability. But the personality, the charac-

ter or ability of either, played no part in the campaign, had no effect upon its results. The issue was as well under-

stood and as determinedly voted upon as if it had been printed upon every ticket polled; it was: A Protective Tariff against a Tariff-for-Revenue-Only.

From one end and from one side of the old Commonwealth to the other the de-

cision of this issue by the electorate was emphatically declared. Entire counties which had seldom if ever before been carried by the Republicans were carried by them; others which had been considered staunch Democratic strongholds gave majorities for the Republican can-

didate, and Republican counties re-

turned increased majorities. The general results are gains for the party of Protection; losses for the party of revenue tariff.

The people of a great Commonwealth such as Pennsylvania do not accomplish a political result like that of Tuesday by accident. They accomplish it by

voting in accordance with an intelligent appreciation of the issue presented to them. Partisan ties were loosened at every poll, and citizens cast their ballots to maintain that great economic principle of Protection which has been for so many years the certain, fruitfal cause of their phenomenal prosperity. The

threat of its destruction or impairment by Congress was sufficient to send hosts of thoughtful, intelligent Democrats over into the ranks of the Republicans.

The common knowledge, the general comprehension of the evils of the new Tariff scheme made party organization trivial and the efforts of the political leaders unimportant. The people did it, not the party managers. The issue was the deciding factor.

The result in this State is quite worthy the most thoughtful, serious considera-

tion of the majority of Congress. The Wilson bill in the Senate is making its way tardily through the committee stage, but there is no assurance what-

ever that, with greater or lesser modifi-

cation, it will not eventually become law. The chance of its ultimate failure lies largely in the ability and willingness of the Democrats in Congress to under-

stand the meaning of the result of the late political campaign in Pennsylvania.

If they should comprehend its true meaning, which is that of invincible

opposition to the new tariff revision scheme, and if they think that it will be unwise to wreck their party on that rock, the Wilson bill will be eventually defeated, either by a direct vote, or by delay, or by the refusal of the House to accept the Senate's amendments, or by some other parliamentary device. If however, the Congressional Democratic majority consider it better to continue to stand squarely upon the Chicago platform, despite the protests of the country, they will make the Wilson bill in some shape law, and thereby render inevitable the election of a Republican Congress in 1894 and of a Republican Administration in 1896. Nothing can or should be clearer to the Democrats than that the passage by them of this unpopular revenue measure would carry with it their overwhelming and unprecedented defeat at the polls.--Ledger.

The supper given by the Ladies' Aid Society at the Emmett House last week netted the society $83.40. Socially and financially the affair was a complete success.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, February 26, 1894. Ladies Cloth. Light-weight Broadcloth, you'd almost say. Fine Wool, fine weaving, careful finishing--any Ladies Cloths are supposed to be all that. But here are two qualities, first on the counters this morning, that lift the peg of excellence to a higher-than-ever notch for like grades. 14 styles at 50c 8 styles at 65c Each full 52 in. wide. Dressy, wearful and in choice mixtures and plain colors. Tailor Checks. Almost a hundred spick-and-span styles with a larger range of color blendings than we have ever shown. 54 styles at $1.00 40 styles at $1.25 Fine grade stuffs, All-wool and Silk-and-wool. You'll find them at the Plaid Dress Goods counter under a clear light, which brings out all the delicate tints tangled in these lovely weaves. Japanese Crepe. All over the store the touch of the Japanese is potential. His thought or his goods or both are immanent. All Japan watches all America and all Europe for a market. Let these Japanese Crepes tell how much success awaits the watching.

They are Silk-and-Cotton, dainty films of things. Few women know the stuffs to-day. Soon every woman will know them--too beautiful to remain obscure. The shades are masterpieces of delicacy; a beautiful unity pervades both fabrics and colors. Four sorts on the counters to-day, covering a variety that is already much beyond a hundred and increasing.

Linens. Buyers of Linens at retail need to beware of the sham reductions now freely adver-

tised. Before the writer is an alleged bargain--a dozen Napkins for which a confding pur-

chaser paid $3, considering them cheap because reduced from $5. Beside them another dozen from one of our regular lines, exactly the same in make, size, count of thread and value that have been selling here in the regular way for eight years at $3.

The merchant that sold them at $5 and reduced them to $3 doubtless thought he was giving a bargain--honest, but ignorant. Ignorance is a fault that may be pardoned, imposition upon a confiding public is a crime. But there is poor consolation in losing money even by honest ignorance. Books. It was more than half a generation ago that we set aside the cut-and-dried way of Book retailing and dealt in Books precisely as we deal in other merchandise. Men who knew Books and knew the public taste did the buying and they bought in such quantities that the least of little prices were always commanded. It startled the happy-go-lucky booksellers to see what little profit we were contented with.

Plenty of Booksellers are still worried by that very thing--

the plainly marked price in every Book; always as low as anybody's, usually away below the ruling rate.

Out of it all has grown under this roof the largest retail Book business in America, and the conditions that created it are still potent.

If there are tempting lots to be had anywhere we know it; very likely have the first offer of them.

That's what keeps the line of special attractions so notably great.

Here's a sample handful from one table:

From the Pyramids to the Acropolis. By T. DeWitt Talmage. 25c.

FIRST-CLASS JOB WORK OUR MOTTO.

We are well equipped to do plain or fancy work.

ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD? If so, we should sell you the Lumber and Mill Work. Why? Because our increased facilities enable us to offer greater inducements to you. Look at them: First, By our location, adjoining the Reading Terminal, with a track in our yard, we save in carting both ways to the cars, and can give a better oversight to shipments not leaving our control. Second, Having a large wharf on the Delaware River, we can load vessels for our customers without charge for wharfage, etc., and can enjoy the advantage of water freights, which are much lower than railroad freights. Third, We carry a large stock of LUMBER well assorted to meet the wants of the trade, and a full line of Mill Work in regular sizes constantly on hand. Fourth, We manufacture all kinds of odd and fancy work, and estimate direct from architects' plans for any kind of hard wood work and interior finish. We manufacture Packing Boxes, Berry Chests, Signs, etc., at short notice. Fifth, Business experience. For twenty-eight years we have been in business at this location and every year have been compelled to improve and enlarge our plant until now we stand at the head of our line of business. We offer you the benefit of our experience, freely. We charge you only for the material you buy. We solicit correspondence with any intending to build and improve residences, stores, halls or churches, and will give all inquirers prompt attention. Remember that we can ship our work to you to compete with others in any part of the State. C. B. COLES, Lumber, Mill Work and Boxes, Front, Below Kaighn Avenue, Camden, N. J.
