THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1894. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J. as second-class mail matter. SEVEN members of Congress are seriously ill, and the wonder is that it is not seventy. The members of the present Congress have been greatly ex-

posed.

AS YET Senator Hill's speech on the Wilson bill remains unanswered. Senator Mill's warmed-over observations cannot be regarded even as an attempt

to answer it.

THE next campaign will be fought solely on the question, McKinley Bill vs. Wilson Bill. This will suit Republicans everywhere. In other words, it will be the fight of prosperity vs. starvation, which are only synonymous terms of the above-mentioned bills--McKinley Bill, prosperity; Wilson Bill, starvation. There is no question which of these the people will choose. GENERAL HARRISON in his speech before the Indiana Republican State Convention gave the key to the situation when he said: "The American workman is realizing to-day that it is not possible for him to separate himself in interest for the manufacturer who employs him; that he cannot listen to the wild and vicious appeals which have been made to him, nor strike at men who give employment to labor without bringing the blow back in recoil upon himself and upon his family. The times are full of unrest, disaster and apprehension. I believe to-day that all the tumult of this wild sea would be stilled as by the voice of omnipotence if the great industrial and commercial classes of this country could know to-day that there would be not attempt to strike down Protection in American legislation." This is the voice of wisdom and the Cleveland-Coxey administration will

yet be brought to realize it.

BRECKINRIDGE, who during the trial blamed it all on Miss Pollard, now blames it on the newspapers and Judge Bradley, and seems disposed to make Judge Bradley an issue in his coming contest for Congress. Breckinridge does not appear to understand that if he had been acquitted he could not have stood any better before the country than he now does. We cannot pretend to know how the people of the Ashland district look at the matter, but with people in general it is not the verdict or the judge's charge or any rulings of the Court that Breckinridge needs to explain away, but his own statements and confession of his own low and depraved character made on the witness stand. If the people of his district want for their representative the kind of man he there portrayed himself to be then he will probably be renominated and re-

elected. None of that confession can be blamed on Judge Bradley, but of course Breckinridge and his friends want to get as far away from it as pos-

sible.

EVERY dog in New Jersey will soon be compelled to wear a collar and be registered. A new law which went into effect April 4, 1894, requires that Common Councils and Township Committees must provide a book in which to register every dog. The owner of the dog is required to pay a fee of $1, and furnish a collar which shall contain the number of the dog and the owner's name on a metal surface. Upon the payment of such fee the city or township clerk registers the said dog. If the dog is found off the premises without such a collar around his neck, anyone is at liberty to kill the animal. The law also provides a penalty of $10 to be recovered if any officer shall fail to perform their duty as above set forth. The Common Council and Township Committee are directed to appoint one or more persons as dog killers, and to fix their compensation. This act is in addition to all other laws taxing dogs. The act is now in force, and if you do not want your dog killed you had better

get him registered at once.

THE INDEPENDENT MOVE. An "Independent State Convention" has been held at Trenton by a handful of malcontents of this State, and they are resolved that the world is out of joint altogether, and they alone are capable of bringing it back to a better condition. This handful of men will probably develop into a "People's Party," and after a few "roars" about monopolies and such ilk, will disintegrate and go back to the various political parties from whence they sprung. We do not believe the Populist craze will become epidemic in this State, as it has in the West, because the people here have decided views as to sound money and cannot be shaken therefrom. The new party demands pretty much everything going under heaven, including a national currency, whose volume shall provide at least $50 per capita; a graduated income tax, postal banks of deposit, nationalization of transportation facilities and of the whiskey traffic, and governmental control of the postal department and telegraph systems of the country. The election of President and Vice President of the United States and of United States Senators direct by the people is

demanded. They favor biennial ses-

sions of the Legislature of this State; election of all State and county officials direct by the people; reduction of freight, telegraph, telephone and express rates, and direct legislation by the people through the initiative and referendum. Some of these "demands" are creditable, but as the Republican party already favors such, the formation of a new party is wholly unnecessary and

its success visionary in the extreme. Some of the "demands" are absolutely ridiculous.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, May 7, 1894. GIRLS' DRESSES Every feature of novelty, neatness and cheapness that has made the Women's Dress business so grandly successful here is manifested as markedly in the sorts and sizes for Girls of 4 to 14 years. Wash Dresses tell the story as well as any. Judge by these--at $1 each. Pretty Percale, very large full skirt, waist handsomely trimmed with dimity guimp, extra full sleeves, gimp trimmed, bertha on waist.

We count them the most delightful dollar's worth any mother ever found in such Dresses.

Other styles in Piques, Dimities, Lawns, Ginghams, White Lawn and the like. Dainty Duck Dresses, sailor style, $2.50 and $3.75. White Guimpes, 50c and up. Girls' Reefers. Perhaps three hundred that the maker thought would retail at $8 and $10. Alas, poor man! Here they are marked Three Dollars each. All new, of course--no old goods of any kind in all that great selling space for girls' and women's wear.

CHAMBERS' ENCYCLOPÆDIA The unexpected has happened. Chambers' Encyclopædia, the newest Chambers, The busy man's help, the scholar's delight, the up-to-date storehouse of universal knowledge thoroughly Americanized and packed from cover to cover with available matter,

has been pushed down to a price heretofore unheard of in suck bookselling.

This great work is complete in ten volumes of over eleven million words, with 3037 illus-

trations, 92 two-page colored maps and 70 plain maps. The paper is fine, the type work clear and each volume is a delight to lovers of handsome well-made books.

To let you know what an un-

equaled opportunity this is we will sell a limited number of sets in handsome half leather binding, made to our special order AT $25 THE SET in every respect--paper, print and binding--equal to the regular $45 edition.

Sample set ready for examination. We will take orders to be delivered in about ten days.

tal that way--the $70 grade against any $125 Wheel in the market.

WOODLAND CEMETERY. A Great Want Supplied.

A charter has been recently obtained and a Tract of Land containing thirty acres situate

on the south side of the railroad, north of Ocean View station, secured, and has been surveyed and laid out with convenient and tastefully ar-

ranged drives and plotted in lots, a plan of which can be seen at the office of Jos. I. Scull, Secretary, Sea Isle City, or Robt. Fisher, Ocean City. All lots are larger than customary size.

The West Jersey Railroad Company has built a large platform, and made Woodland Cemetery a regular stop for all local trains, thus afford-

ing a great convenience for funerals to come on the train, either from Ocean City, Sea Isle City or Avalon.

The prices of Burial Lots in the Woodland Cemetery are cheaper than in any other first-

class cemetery in the county. The Company invite special attention to the numerous advantages offered to purchasers in their grounds.

Come in and view them. Nature and art incite inspection and admiration. Now is the time to

secure a place of interment in the very best cemetery in South Jersey. We say the VERY

BEST. It is so on account of its improvements. The cemetery is highly respectable in the character and class of the interments in its grounds; many advantages and inducements concentrate here to attract the living, and on account of elevation it is eminently the best. Besides, it is not embarrassed with debt. It is not exceeded anywhere as a beautiful and final resting place. For further information apply to JOS. I. SCULL, Secretary, Sea Isle City, N. J.
