THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1894.

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

GOVERNOR WERTS, of New Jersey, broke the record as a vetoer a few days ago. He sent in twenty-five vetoes at one time, a record which, it is said, has never been equalled by any former Governor of the State, and, possibly, never

by the Governor of any State.

OCEAN CITY is enjoying the best year in her history, $100,000 having been spent in improvements since last summer, and all this despite the hard times. The place was founded upon a moral basis, and this answers for its rapid growth and solid, permanent character.

—The Epworth Advocate.

BENJAMIN HARRISON declares that he is not a candidate for the Presidency. The Republicans could do a great deal worse than nominate him as their standard bearer, and the people could do much worse than elect him President. Benjamin Harrison's administration was a brilliant success from start to finish, and in comparison with the present one is like an electric light compared to a tallow candle. Of one thing the people, irrespective of political affiliations, are bound to admit: Harrison was a patriotic President in every

sense of the word.

WHAT a remarkable jurist Jude Abbett is may be judged from the fact that he stands alone among all the reputable lawyers of the State in his idea of constitutional law. The Elizabeth Journal says: "Several Democratic papers in

the State have already taken upon themselves the awful task of trying to prove that Mr. Abbett knows more about law and precedent than all the rest of the Supreme Court put together, and including such lawyers as Cortlandt Parker, Samuel H. Grey, Thomas N. McCarter, Richard V. Lindsbury and several others. This would seem to further indicate that Mr. Abbett may possibly be the next Democratic candidate for Governor."

THE bill to admit Utah as a State, already passed by the House, has been favorably reported to the Senate with some amendments. Whether any new States shall be admitted at this time by the Democratic majority of Congress

will depend altogether upon the probable action of such States in the election of Senators. The Democrats have a very small margin of votes in the Senate, likely to be reduced when the vacancies are filled. If they could pick up a couple of votes in Utah and two more in New Mexico it would be worth while, from a party standpoint, to admit them to the Union, but that way of strengthening a party's majority is very uncertain. The Republicans thought they had the Senate fixed for a dozen years when they admitted the last batch of States, but they missed their calculations at the next election.

REFERRING to the next State Senate, the Paterson Press says: "The eleven Republican Senators who served at the session just closed will all hold over through next year's session. All the retiring Senators, six in number, are Democrats, as follows: Hinchcliffe, of Passaic; McMickle, of Sussex; Martin, of Hunterdon; Adrain, of Middlesex; Perkins, of Burlington, and Miller, of

Cape May. The Republicans will almost certainly, if they make good nominations, carry Passaic, Burlington and Cape May, with a fair chance of success in Middlesex. If they win in the three counties named they will have fourteen members of the next Senate to seven Democrats--a very nice and comfortable lead in the United States Senatorial race." All this is true, but it is no reason why the Republicans everywhere throughout the

State should not endeavor to keep that lead by putting up the strongest men they can find for Senators and Assem-

blymen to be elected in November next. The people will have to be on the alert everywhere, or they will wake up to a great surprise the morning after election.

CRANKS IN WASHINGTON.

The appearance of the negro blacksmith in the gallery of the House of Representatives warning Congress that if the Coxey Good Roads bill was not passed the lightning would descend from the heavens and rip things up the back generally, has brought out the statement from the Sergeant-at-Arms that "Washington is full of cranks," not, of course, taking the Coxey people into account. This statement is undoubtedly true, and the worst of it is that many of these cranks who infest the Capital were sent by the people to represent them in Congress, and there is no ap parent way to get rid of them until their terms expire. And it is the cranks inside of Congress, and not those on the streets and in camp that are making the trouble for the country. One crank in Congress will breed a thousand on the outside.

NEW BALLOT BOX.

The Legislature has authorized the purchase of a number of new ballot boxes for use, and considerable expense is attached. But the box is in the line of reform.

It is known as the "safety ballot box," and is constructed upon a principle which defies tampering. The dimensions are 12x13 inches, the main

depository being made of iron with sides of glass, with brass guards, so that every part of the interior is visible to the voter.

This is capped with a nickeled box in which the whole secret of its security lies. Three complicated locks secure the aperture through which the votes

drop, and which, unlocked, allows the nickel box to be removed in order to count the votes. These locks are opened by keys all differing, one to be in possession of each of the three members of the board. Over the locks is a nickel cover which may be lifted only by unscrewing a nut on the side nearest the voter.

The nut is set in a depression over which the County Clerk places a seal and the nut cannot be touched without breaking the same in view of the

voter. If it were possible to uncover the locks there would be another difficulty to overcome, as no votes could be admitted while the cover is down.

Instead of placing the votes in envelopes, they will be curied into small pasteboard cylinders and the aperture is so guarded as to admit only one cylinder at a time. As these ballots are dropped into the receptacle they are registered in large red figures on the side of the box facing the voter. Should two ballots be placed in one cylinder it would be easily detected when the votes were counted. The ordinary mind can devise no scheme for getting at the ballots. The only way this could be done would be first to remove the cover, and then apply the keys to the locks and all this cannot be done without first breaking the seal covering the nut. Nor could one of the board open the box without having all three keys, and it is intended that they should each have one.

A Few Items from Ocean View. Sunday was communion day at the Baptist Church. E. J. Jerrell, of Cape May City, was home over Friday night. VanGilder & Co. have shipped five carloads of tomatoes this week. Miss Mamie Paterson has been spending a few days abroad. John Dilks, of Millville, is visiting

friends here.

Albert Way has purchased a new bicycle of the Crawford pattern. James Springer, of Court House, was visiting with Townsend Gandy Sunday. E. T. Young was a delegate to the stewards meeting held in Millville on

Wednesday.

Mrs. Elizabeth Townsend is the guest of relatives at South Seaville for a few days. Samuel Johnson purchased a fine team of horses in Philadelphia last week. E. C. Cole was in the City of Brotherly Love a portion of last week. Joseph Morris was pleasuring at Atlantic City the last of the week. A large number of our citizens drove to the Court House on Thursday to attend the commencement exercises. S. C. Townsend having purchased a new team of horses, has sold his old one to Atlantic City parties. The large rye fields on the canning farm have been plowed under and are now being set with tomato plants. The Epworth League anniversary was observed in the M. E. Church, on Sunday evening, when an elegant programme was carried out. W. M. Isborn, of Binghamton, N. Y., arrived on Wednesday and will be the guest of his brother-in-law, E. S. Stowe, during the summer, and will move his family here in the fall.

Commencement Exercises. The Atlantic City High School at its commencement Friday night graduated a class of fourteen, thirteen young ladies, and one young man. They were Misses Myra Albertson, Rachel B. Ingersoll, Carrie Baldwin, Ida M. Townsend, Ella R. Eldridge, Eugenie M. Pinchon,

Georgianna M. Wilson, Lizzie Van Zant, Caroline Scull, Sophia Conover, The-

ressa Hedges, Madge L. Bechtel and Estella Wootten and George Dunn.

The valedictorian was Miss Eldridge and the salutatory was delivered by Miss Baldwin. State Superintendent A. B. Poland was present during the exercises and delivered an address.

for Christian people on the South Jersey coast. It has made more advancement in the last year than any other resort in New Jersey.

Visitors to our town are loud in their expressions of surprise at the amount of building now going on. They are of the unanimous opinion that Ocean City is far in advance of her sister watering places in the matter of improvements.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, May 28, 1894.

ings.

SEERSUCKERS.

Whoever thought to see 30 inch Striped Seersuckers--the sturdy, slightly, dress kind--at 8c? Looked as if 12½c was rock bottom. Ought to be, so far as intrinsic value goes; would be but for the reach of our Dress Goods arms.

COTTON CREPES.

A little satin stripe woven in some of the crispy, crinkled Cotton Crepes is the last touch of novelty. Looms are clicking at their fastest to keep

the supply good. Have to while we're passing the Crêpes out by the car-load every few days.

They've a favorite for picnic dresses, for evening or seaside dresses--so high in style, so low in cost, so good for wear, so easy to tend--wash--shake 'em out--dry--no ironing. 18c the yard.

GRENADINES

Black Grenadines and Chif-

fons with stripes and color plays are the top bud of elegance for Summer wear. But that don't save the prices. We can make them littler than ever and we do. That's all there is of it.

$12 and $14 English Mackintoshes at $6.

HOUSEKEEPING LINENS. The manufacturers know very well why so large a part of the Linen business of the town is done here. They know who buys the most and cheapest--who goes to the very fountainheads and takes biggest lots at least prices.

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 arranged 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 invite 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 improve-

ments. The cemetery is highly respectable in the character and class of 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.
