BECAUSE the nominee of the First Congressional district is bound to be elected no matter whom the Democrats name for the office, the Republicans should not relax their vigilance a par-

ticle. The party must make a supreme attempt to pile up a majority which will be so excessive that its echoes will be heard in every State in the Union.

IT IS remarkable how few accidental drowning cases there are at Atlantic City with the thousands who flock there and engage in surf-bathing. On Sunday it is is [sic] estimated that fully 20,000 people were in bathing at one time and yet not a single fatality was recorded. This exceedingly gratifying state of affairs is the result of the intrepidity and vigilance of the life guards who are constantly on the lookout for those in distress. These men are heroes in every sense of the word.

DEMOCRATIC newspapers are uniting in the cry that now, with the "iniqui-

tous" McKinley law out of existence and Democratic tariff reform in full swing, there is nothing in the way of an immediate revival of business all over the country. For nearly two years people have been awaiting the fulfil-

ment of the promise of good times under a Democratic administration and tariff reform, and the end of each succeeding month has found the "clover" thinner and poorer than ever. If the revival of business fails to appear now it will not be because Democratic organs are ne-

glecting to "whoop it up." Some of our enterprising cotemporaries discov-

ered a general and hilarious stride to-

ward prosperity within twelve hours after the passage of the nondescript "reform" bill, but they are a trifle previous. It will be three months before the substantial tokens of future prosperity begin to appear, and they will first be manifest in the Congressional elections returns.

WHERE WILLIAM PENN WAS REMISS.

According to the Jersey canal enthusiasts the project of bisecting the State

for Philadelphia shipping purposes is merely child's play. Some of the prospectuses of the various sluiceways is-

sued partly in behalf the towns along the proposed routes which expect to be favored, would lead one to believe that the undertaking could be accomplished in a hop, skip and jump.

It seems so easy, for instance, to deepen the Delaware ten or twenty feet as far as Bordentown, cut some miles across Jersey, strike a canal or a branch of a canal partly abandoned, turn aside a creek, dig some more, and then, after further dallying with dirt, rocks, creeks and canals, emerge into the broad Atlantic or some of its estuaries.

It seems so easy, on paper, that it is a wonder it was not undertaken years ago. It appears to have been the height of short-sightedness and prodigality on Philadelphia's part that she should have depended all these years upon the Delaware River as an outlet to the sea, and that so much money should have been spent upon the improvement of the channel. Here is an uncut route to the ocean which would have been more useful, less costly, and whose excavation would have been a positive work of pleasure.

What a pity that Father Penn did not plan the canal path through New Jersey at the time he plotted his city of brotherly love! It might have saved some of his children lots of trouble and many sleepless nights.

A SLANDER.

The following paragraph, taken from a New York letter to the Cincinnati Tribune, a slanderous statement from beginning to end and could have emanated only from a prejudiced mind or a person whose vision was distorted by the green-eyed monster: "Across the inlet from Longport is Ocean City (not Ocean Grove), a "tem-

perance" resort. It is rather a religious

resort for those who don't want to spend a copper on amusements, and make religion an excuse for shunning the sinful merry-go-rounds and roller coasters of Atlantic City. It is a dreary, forsaken place with cheap cottages and unpatronized hotels scattered among sand hills, far apart. They say they have everything that they have at Atlantic City. They have everything except the life and comfort. I would almost as soon be in Moyamensing Prison. I don't like the solitary system."

The entire epistle, which occupies over a column's space, is intended to deceive the reader, inasmuch as the author shows his hand in his endeavor to place Atlantic City far above and beyond all other resorts along the coast.

It is well known that Ocean City was founded upon temperance principles, the wisdom of which has been fully exemplified in the rapidity with which she has forged ahead to the front rank of seaside resorts. It is the absence of licensed hotels that commends our town to strangers and has made it what it now is. Here can be enjoyed all the pleasures of other resorts without encountering at every step the blighting influences of the rum traffic. Here is to be found the finest and safest beach along the coast, and here the weary may rest undisturbed and the invalid recruit his wasted strength free from the disturbing influences incident to sister towns. Here also may be found first-class hotels whose manages are conversant with the wants and needs of pleasure-seekers and whose cuisine

is not excelled anywhere.

The penny-a-liner winds up his dissertation with "I would almost as soon be in Moyamensing Prison." Possibly the inmates of that institution would

be more companionable to this corres-

pondent than the refined society of Ocean City. Translate an individual from the lower walks of life to a cultured and refined atmosphere, such as pervades our town, and he is ill at ease. This must have been the condition of the correspondent. "He is joined to

his idols, let him alone."

Caught in the Act.

A bold thief about 3 o'clck Saturday morning entered the German Novelty Company's store at the Inlet pavilion, Atlantic City, and stole $700 worth of goods, consisting principally of diamond rings and imported novelties. The robber was surprised at his work by the special officer stationed at Frank Smith's pavilion, who grabbed him as he was jumping out of the window. While being escorted to the City Hall the thief slipped out of his coat and ran like a deer, with the officer in hot pursuit. He made good his escape, but was recaptured about 11 o'clock by Frank Smith, of the Inlet House, who recognized him among a crowd of visitors as they landed from the cars there. He was a former employee at the store he robbed. About $150 worth of the

stolen property was recovered from the

thief's pockets when searched at police

headquarters. The prisoner gave his

address as 827 Race street, Philadelphia. He was held for court in default of bail.

Charged with Forgery at Atlantic City. Joseph A. Snyder, of the firm of Paynter & Snyder, proprietors of the Inlet Amusement Park, and operating the spectacular show, "Herculaneum," were arrested on Saturday night, charged with forging the name of James H. Mason, a real estate broker, to a bond for $20,000, which was given to Messrs. Wise & Martin, owners of "Herculaneum," to indemnify them from loss during the summer engagement. The name of Law Judge Joseph Thompson, it is alleged, was also forged

to the document. Snyder, it is said, admitted his guilt.

"Herculaneum" has not proven a success. Had it been so, the forgery would not have come to light. When Wise & Martin tried to collect several thousand dollars due them there was a financial disagreement, and the resulting inquiry about this bond developed the fact that is [sic] was a forgery.

Captain Somers Dead. Captain John Somers, of Camden, formerly prominent in maritime and business circles, died Sunday at the summer residence of his son, Frank C. Somers, at Cape May. Captain Somers was 78 years old, and a lineal descendant of Richard Somers, who settled at Somers' Point before the Revolutionary war.

Captain Somers was born in Absecon, and in early life worked on a farm. Then he followed the sea, and when he became master of his vessel he engaged in the East India trade. Afterward he went into the dredging business with A. B. Cooley & Co., with offices on Delaware avenue, below Walnut street. In 1878 the firm was succeeded by the American Dredging Company, and Captain Somers was made president.

He continued to fill that post until his health failed, several years ago, when he gave up all active business connection and spent some time in Florida.

CAPE MAY POLITICS.

Candidates are Coming Out for All Kinds of Offices.

After the summer season closes then the people of Cape May county will de-

vote their time to politics, and as Cape May will elect a Senator, an Assembly-

man, and a County Clerk this autumn, there will be much interest in the campaign. For Senator, there is no doubt that Assemblyman Edmund L.

Ross will be a nominee, and he will have as his opponent State Senator Lemuel E. Miller, who is fighting hard for the Democratic nomination. Mayor Thomas E. Ludlam, of Sea Isle City, also wants to be the Democratic candidate for Senator.

For Assemblyman on the Democratic side Freeholder Charles J. Devitt, of Dennis township, and Councilman John Halpin, of Cape May, are mentioned, but neither of them is hankering after the place ,because it will require much fighting to win. On the Republican side the candidates are more numerous.

Justice of the Peace A. Elton Holmes, of Dennisville; John W. Reeves, of West Cape May, an ex-Director of the Board of Freeholder; Aaron W. Hand, editor of the Cape May "Star," of West Cape May; Councilman J. Monroe Chester, of Sea Isle City, and Lewis T. Stevens, president of the Cape May Council, are mentioned.

The First New Jersey District Repub-

lican Congressional Convention will be held at the Stockton Hotel on Thursday next. Congressman Henry C. Loudenslager, who is serving in the present Congress, will be given, accord-

ing to established custom in this district, a renomination without a dissenting voice.

Death of Marcus L. Edwards.

We were pained Sunday when we learned that Marcus L. Edwards, brother of Station Agent Edwards, had died at his late residence in Philadel-

phia on Saturday, and that his remains were to be brought to South Dennis, this county, Tuesday and buried from the residence of his parents. Mr. Edwards was attacked on Tuesday with peritonitis, and an operation was performed on Friday.

He was the youngest son of Captain and Mrs. Lewis Edwards, and a few years since married Miss Hattie Smith, daughter of Captain John L. Smith, of Ocean View.

Marcus is the second son the family have lost, two other sons being left. The second son, Harry, was lost at sea some years ago in a storm in August. A daughter, Mrs. Frank Leaming resides in the West. Mr. Edwards' widow was at one time engaged as a teacher in our public schools.

The sacred oriflamb, which played such an important part in French history, was a red silk banner mounted on a gold staff. The flag was cut into three "vandykes" to represent "tongues of fire." In war this standard meant no quarter.

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 affording 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 advan-

tages 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 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 by debt.t It is not excelled anywhere as beautiful and final resting place.
