THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1894. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J. as second-class mail matter.

THE Grand Jury of the present term of Court in Brooklyn has, in its present-

ment, taken up the question of young persons walking the street at night un-

attended by parents or guardians. It deplores the practice, and urges the ex-

ercise a better parental control in this particular as aid to better morals and as a preventative of crime. This is an important subject which should receive greater attention from many parents and guardians than it does. There is no doubt that to permit very young people to wander about the streets after dark unattended is an evil far more reaching in consequences than is generally supposed. The young are, as a rule, thoughtless, and poorly equipped through inexperience against temptation, and until their characters are fully formed too much care cannot be exercised over their lives.

THERE is a general idea that the President's salary of $50,000 a year is all that he receives, and that when compared with the salaries paid the sovereigns of Europe the sum is not enough.

This is a mistake. In addition to his salary the President receives $36,064 to pay the salaries of his clerks and subor-

diates. His private secretary has $3,250, his assistant secretary $2,250, the stenographer gets $1,850, each of five messengers $1,200, the steward $1,800, each of the two doorkeepers $1,200, while other employees are paid in proportion down to the man who takes care of the fires, who receives $864.

In addition $8,000 is allowed for incidentals, such as stationery and carpets, $12,500 for repairs and furnishing, $2,500 for fuel, $4,000 for the greenhouse and $15,000 for the stable, gas and other incidentals. In all the President and his house cost the country more than $125,000.

NAME ONLY THE BEST MEN.

Everything points toward an overwhelming Republican victory next November in Nation, State and county.

This fact should not cause Republicans to relax an instant in vigilance. If anything, it should inspire them to the strangest effort so that the defeat of the Democracy will be most crushing and humiliating.

The prospect for Republican victory is very bright, but there is a chance yet for victory to be turned into defeat. The enemy has entrenched itself. The Republican party must only nominate the best men in the party. Especially must this be the case in this county. None of those Republicans who have betrayed the party even in the slightest degree should be permitted to hope for an instant for party preferment.

We are pleased to note that, with but few exceptions, the men mentioned as aspirants for Republican preferment in this section are representative men and representative Republicans. Let only such receive the nomination. Only such will be endorsed by the people at the polls next November.

WOMEN LAWYERS. A petition has been in circulation for some days past in Newark among the legal fraternity, receiving the signatures of many while denied by others, asking of the Legislature an enactment looking to the extension of women's sphere of labor in a new field in this State. They claim the right to be admitted to the bar of New Jersey, or to put it more plainly to practice the profession of law.

The News of that city, the most widely circulated journal, has actively taken up the cudgel in their behalf, and inquisitorially demands that it shall be informed as to what a woman is if not a citizen? At the first blush it would not seem to be an embarrassing conun-

drum, but will let it pass. In this State it is our belief that she attains citizenship in the same manner provided in the organic law for the "male" biped, through statute law has been exempted from certain duties imposed upon them and deprived of certain rights or privileges which they do or can enjoy, one of which is the practice of law, the bone of contention just now agitating legal circles in the metropolitan city.

While she is not required to pay an annual poll tax for the privilege of casting a ballot, yet in some localities in South Jersey at special elections, she not only votes, but has shown her potentiality, as State Superintendent of Public Instruction Poland will no doubt cheerfully testify. But that is a mere incident and not at all germain [sic] to the question propounded by the News or its contention, that "admitting her to be a good citizen, one must recognize the fact that woman is an important factor in the serious business affairs of life. If she will make a good type-

writer, why may she not make a good lawyer? If she is capable as a bookkeeper, why may she not apply her talents to the exposition of the sublime teachings of the Nazarene? If she may buy and sell goods, conduct a farm, or manage a mill, why may she not edit newspapers and practice medicine, all of which, in fact, she does, and with intelligence and skill? If she may and does the things in other States, why should the door be slammed in her face when she asks the right to practice law in the State of New Jersey?"

HOW TO DISCOURAGE ENVY.

Among the evils that torment mankind needlessly and without any apparent compensation, the secret feeling of envy occupies a prominent place.

Few confess it even to themselves, yet it poisons many a life that might otherwise be healthfully and happily spent.

Unlike emulation, which incites a man to raise himself to higher levels than any he has yet attained, envy only contemplates the envied one with a jealous and unreasonable dislike, and creates the mean desire to drag him down from whatever eminence he may have attained. Unlike some other passions, which, however fierce, burn themselves quickly out, this one grows by what it feeds on, rankling in the breast and embittering every pleasant thought. Those who indulge in it are their own worst enemies, and, while they are justly censurable, they are equally pitiable.

Without, however, attempting to excuse those who envy others, it is by no means certain that those who are deemed fortunate enough to be themselves the object of this envy are entirely in-

nocent in the matter. They usually consider themselves the happy possessors of what others vainly covet--health, riches, position, affection, public regard, talents, etc.; but it rarely occurs to them that they can have any

responsibility in the envy which their advantages excite, or that they are in any degree chargeable with the evil re-

sults which follow. Yet it may be fairly questioned whether it is quite be-

yond the power of such favored ones to prevent or allay the jealous and hate-

ful feelings which their prosperity seems to create in the eyes of the en-

vious. We all know some men and women, rich, gifted and happy, in whose good fortune every one rejoices.

That they deserve it all, and more, is the general verdict. Many admire and strive to emulate them, but none envy, none hate--not one is to be found who desires an ill wind to blow upon them.

On the contrary, all are anxious to add another drop to the cup already over-

flowing with happiness, and to signify in every possible manner their goodwill and sympathy. If we would discover the reason of this we shall not have far to seek. It is because they hold their gifts, not selfishly, nor for their own personal benefit alone, but as TRUSTS for the welfare of others. With-

out abdicating them, but enjoying them to the full, they multiple the satisfaction by spreading its influence. Real-

izing that others have wants which it is in their power to supply they gladly seize every opportunity of doing so.

Such a spirit as this disarms envy; it melts away hard and bitter and un-

charitable feeling, and in their stead creates sympathy and unity.

Much of this hateful passion is due to the air of superiority or glory or tri-

umph with which certain fortunate people carry themselves. They imagine, most erroneously, that they are really of far more importance than those less favored, and sometimes by a haughty

arrogance, sometimes by a supercilious patronage, they convey this impression strongly in their intercourse. Bacon

says: "Those are most subject to envy who carry the greatness of their for-

tunes in an insolent and proud manner, being never well but when they are showing how great they are, either by outward pomp or by triumphing over all opposition or competition;

whereas wise men will rather do sacrifice to envy, in suffering themselves, sometimes of purpose, to be crossed and overborne in things that do not much concern them."

There is an ancient belief that if the eye of an envious person was cast upon the one whom be envied it had a myte- [sic] rious power of injury; and charms were worn, and various methods were resorted to, to avert this dangerous fasci-

nation of what was popularly known as the evil eye. Behind such old super-

stitions, we often discover a germ of truth, and we may also here recognize that envy injures, not only the envier, but the envied also. It does at least re-

veal the probable existence of some-

thing wrong in the latter as well as in the former. It reflects upon the way in which he employs his advantages and opportunities, and the spirit in which he receives and enjoys them.

So, when we condemn those who look with envious eyes upon their neighbors, we must also remember that such as are considered fortunate enough to be envied have some share in the responsibility. Instead of being com-

placently satisfied to be an object of envy, let us rather regard it as a pos-

sible reproach, as suggesting that we may not be fulfilling the trust we have in charge, or using the good things that we possess, in a generous and honorable manner.

THE TOWNSHIP SCHOOL ACT.

One of the neatest, pretties little inconsistencies of the New Jersey Democratic papers this year is their bitter

denunciation of the township school act. They can't say too much against it, as it seems. Now, this township school act was drawn by State Super-

intendent Poland, a Democrat, who was appointed by a Democratic Gover-

nor and confirmed by a Democratic Legislature. He urged its enactment upon every ground practicable and rea-

sonable, and it was passed because he believed it to be for the best interests of the school and the scholars. At a

recent meeting of the State Board of Education, Superintendent Poland made a report that the new township law was working well all over the State, notwithstanding the reports to the contrary. There was less friction than was expected, and what little opposi-

tion there was is now wearing away.

But notwithstanding all this the Democratic papers will probably still continue to announce it as one of the wicked things done by the Republican Legislature.

NOTHING MEAN ABOUT HIM.

Mr. Patrick McArdle, a Jersey City saloonkeeper, and a member of the tenth annual convention of the Liquor Dealers' League, of New Jersey, has some very positive opinions regarding the political power of the saloonkeepers.

In an address delivered before that body he is reported as saying:

"We should go to the Legislature and make them pass a bill to suit us or tell them that we will compel them to stay

at home next year. Our power and influence are greater than any other power in the State, without reference to party of any kind. We are men of wealth and men of influence. We can put up our own candidates and support them, and we can elect them. We are the hardest working men in the country. We labor from 5 o'clock in

the morning till midnight. We must go to the nominating convention and demand, not ask, one of the number to represent us. We have no right to be

robbed the way we have been in the past five years. Let us, then, go to Trenton and demand our rights. If they are not

given to us, we will say to them: 'We will oppose you and yours.' The time has come when we should take an active part as to the reduction of the license fees."

Patrick should put a curb bit in his mouth. The regulating of the liquor traffic is a matter that can safely be left to each community, and as to who may

engage in the business in Jersey City or other places, or the price they shall pay for the privilege, that is not a legis-

lative concern. There is nothing sel-

fish about Patrick, however. All he wants the Legislature to do is to prohibit any person, not now engaged in selling liquors, from ever doing so, and to fix a small sum for them to pay an-

nually, instead of the exorbitant license fee he complains that they are now burthened with. If Patrick's ideas should receive approval, New Jersey would eventually become a prohibition State, as the saloonkeepers' ranks, in the nature of things, would become depleted and no one left to fill the gaps made by old Father Time's big reaper.

MEDIUM-PRICED DRESS GOODS

The new conditions have let us put a surprisingly great va-

riety of Dress Goods at or below the 50c mark.

More than a 175 styles are in the lot at 25c, 30c, 37½c, 45c and 50c.

Rich All-wool Stuffs at 25c in solid colors and mixtures and choice fancy Cheviots at 37½c.

Styles for the house, the street, for round-and-about dress.

Some of the 25c grades sold quickly at 50c but a little while ago.

BEST VELUTINA, $1

You'd almost think it Silk --this close-faced Velutina, so soft and fine and firm and even of pile, so perfect of dye. Experiments and experience have lifted and lifted the grade of these goods until now they seem to be at the top notch of possible goodness. More than one hundred exquisite shades--something to match any imaginable tint of Dress Goods. Among them

Islam Kremlin Toistol Platine Alpine Cimiel[?] Marine Ruby Cronstadt Sultan Myosotis Baltique Girodee Nanoi Cerise Ceylon Asmarauthe Melilla Romaine Automne There are eighty more in the assortment.

27 IN CORDUROY, $1

And there was never such a demand for Corduroys! Par-

ticularly the tan shades for sleeves.

But all the tints are in demand and here they are:

17 shades tan and brown 10 shades navy blue, green and gray

In heavy cords of soft plush pile, and with the same exquisite finish that makes the Velutinas so silkily beautiful.

CRAVENETTE--THE RAIN PROOF Grows in favor every season; so dressy, so utterly, unlike a Waterproof--and yet so waterproof.

You'll hear that Cravenette Garments (and Mackintoshes too) are scarce. Look at those long racks--any size or shape or color you'll care for.

And the styles are as fresh and bright as the new chrysanthemums.

A very special lot of Women's Mackintoshes at $3 and upward--those at $6.50 and $8 are very exceptional values.

KERSEYS, $1.75 to $3.50

Away under the last year prices for anything like equal qualities. These Kerseys are in full lines of medium and heavy weights and have a soft, mellow finish that especially fits them for Women's Walking Coats, Capes and outer garments of all kinds. Browns, greens, navy blue and black. $1.75, $2.25, $2.50, $2.75, $3.50. 54 to 56 inches.

CHEVIOTS FOR GOLF CAPES

And Walking Jackets. Single twills, crêpe twills, boucle twills, two-toned effects and Oxford mixes with a special line of reds that are great favorites. We know of no other collection in America that equals this in variety or high quality at the prices--$1.75, $2, $2.25, $2.50.

BLANKETS

Take any of them; put them beside the best bargains of the

same grade you ever had up to

this season.

See if these are not fully 20

per cent. cheaper.

They were made when times were dullest, the outlook most uncertain and wool prices at

the very lowest.

No matter what conditions may arise in the near future there's no likelihood that any one anywhere will be able to lay in the equal of these Blan-

kets for so little money. Here are a dozen of the White line--just as interesting in Gray and Scarlet.

At $1.75 the pair. Strong warm Blankets, cotton warp, 60x78 in., 4½ lbs. At $2.25 the pair. Heavy, well made, good stock Blankets, cotton warp, 60x78 in., 4½ lbs. At $2 the pair. Heavy, large size cotton warp Blankets, 70x80 in., 5 lbs. At $2.50 the pair. Large, warm, wool filling Blankets, 70x80 in., 5½ lbs. At $2.40 the pair. Good quality extra warm white wool Blankets, cotton warp, 60x80 in., 4 lbs. At $3 the pair. Warm, well made wool Blankets, red and blue borders, cotton warp, wool filling, 70x80 in., 5 lbs.
