OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. PRINTED AND PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. R. CURTIS ROBINSON, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. OCEAN CITY, NEW JERSEY. Advertisements in local columns, 10 cents per line, each insertion. Monthly and yearly rates furnished on application. Job work promptly done by experienced hands.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1894.

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

OCEAN CITY did remarkably well for

the Republicans at the late election, in fact, better, according to the number of votes polled, than any other place in the county. Out of a total of 169 votes cast, 110 were Republican tickets, 36

Democratic, 22 Prohibition and 1 So-

cialistic-Labor.

ATLANTIC CITY people, with a little

time on their hands since the close of the fall season, are writing their opin-

ions of the town and its needs for one of the local papers. It is a sort of public

meeting without the annoyance of going into a hall to hear the speakers. At home, with their newspaper and

the letters as printed, there is a chance to read, digest and ponder what others have to say. The articles will do good, and the same might be adopted in Ocean City to advantage. There are plenty of residents who have ideas that would look well in print and assist others in formulating plans that would result in benefit to the town. The SENTINEL'S columns are open for this sort

of discussion.

THE DEER SEASON.

The opening of the deer season in this State on the 26th instant is an event of interest to more people than the sportsmen who will seek the pine belt of South Jersey in pursuit of the deer. Forty deer were killed in three counties

in South Jersey last year, a number surprisingly large in view of the fact that the haunts of the deer are within

a few hours' ride of Philadelphia. The fact is that the pine belt of New

Jersey is one of the best game preservers in the Eastern States and something ought to be done by the Legislature to improve the natural advantages. Many of the sportsmen are from Philadelphia and New York, and, together with the local sportsmen, it will not require many years at the present rate of progress before the deer are nearly exterminated in

New Jersey.

It would be well if the Legislature would make it illegal to shoot deer except during one of every other year[?]. True sportsmen everywhere would favor such a law for the sake of the animals and the improved sport which it would give. Some butchering would be done by stealth every year by woodsmen, but a wholesome public sentiment in favor of maintaining the State's natural game preserve would do much to prevent illegal slaughtering of the deer.

Sportsmen and people who are not sportsmen would alike view it as a misfortune if the deer were exterminated, as must inevitably happen unless for a period of years the yearly privilege to kill is discontinued and the deer be given a better chance to increase.

STRAWBRIDGE & CLOTHIER, PHILADELPHIA.

THE Republican club recently organized in this place can accomplish much good, socially as well as politically, if the members will not allow their interest to wane now that the excitement of a political campaign has subsided, only to be rekindled on the approach of another election. The room in which the meetings are to be held will be comfortably furnished, and upon the tables will be found good, healthful literature. The laws to govern this body, as they are now framed, provide against many of the evils that creep into organizations of this character whose headquarters are but one remove from the licensed saloon and gambling hall. The members of the Ocean City Republican Club are, for the most part, young men, and it is to be devoutly hoped that their banding together will have an elevating tendency.

SENATOR HILL'S PROPHECY. In opposing the income tax in the U. S. Senate on June 21, Senator Hill made this prophecy which will bear repeating now that the election is over: This is a tax the imposition of which will drive New York, New Jersey and Connecticut into the Republican col-

umn, there to remain permanently; a

tax the individual feature of which has not been recommended by any Democratic President or Secretary of the Treasury, or Commissioner of Internal Revenue; but a tax suggested, advocated, and now persistently pushed by a majority which is temporarily in the saddle in this Congress, and is driving the Democratic party with reckless and

headlong speed into the abyss of polit-

ical ruin.

FEMALE BARBERS. Chicago boasts of an educational institution that has no competitors in any of the large Eastern cities. It is known as a school for barbers, and has been in operation a sufficient length of time to demonstrate its success. The proprietor is a Mr. A. B. Moler, who claims to be the sole originator and founder of the first barber school in America. His pupils are not restricted to the male sex, and up to date twenty-five females have received diplomas as graduates from the school. Their services are in demand, and the same wages are paid them as to men. Several of them own their establishments while others work side by side with their husbands.

There have been barber shops for some years past in Chicago conducted

entirely by women. One argument in their favor is that their hands are lighter

and that they are so much more reliable than men, who are apt to get drunk and neglect their work, while a woman is true to her trust. There is now talk of fitting up a large establishment in the centre of the city to give employ-

ment to as many as forty girls.

A TRIUMPH OF THOUGHT.

The results of the recent elections were achieved by men who acted with deliberation, who thoughtfully voted for cause. The overwhelming victory of the Republican party over not only the Democratic but the Populist party also, in some of its Western citadels, was not a sequence of spasmodic feeling; the contest was one of thought,

the triumph that of ideas. It was not

the overwhelming majorities of staunch Republican Commonwealths, like Pennsylvania, that made the victory so great, the results so impressive. To estimate correctly the real greatness of the victory the returns from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware must be con-

sidered. In the Empire State and city

the issue was confined virtually to good government, or government of and by the people against government of and by the venal, corrupt politicians. The triumph is essentially that of the people, and it was made possible by the thought which was evoked by the disclosures of the dishonesty, wickedness and corruption of the dominating Democratic leadership in State and city. In New York the campaign had all the earnestness, the fervor, even, of a crusade for good government and political and

social morality.

New York, Connecticut and New Jersey were the three "doubtful States" of the North, which prior to each recurring Presidential election the managers of either of the two great parties fought for with extraordinary energy and with nothing to encourage them but hope. To which party either State would award the Electoral prize no one could even intelligently conjecture. In 1892 all these States gave largely increased Democratic majorities, and by their electoral votes helped to swell the triumph of the Democratic party. At the recent election these Commonwealths were taken out of the list of "doubtful States" not only for 1894, but for 1896 unless all signs should fail.

It was a revolution which swept over

them; one not fought out with sword and gun, but with ballots, after the American fashion, and it was a battle of thought, a contest of ideas, principles, which foreran the triumph. In Maryland the same intelligent spirit was manifested in the Congressional gains made, and in Delaware and West

Virginia in the general results.

When carefully considered the recent victories achieved at the polls by the Republican party in the name of the people cannot be overestimated. They indicate the generalness of the public virtue and wisdom and of the irresistible power, not of the few, but of the vast masses of the people by whom our great institutions of free Government

are maintained.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

While the Legislature will be almost

solidly Republican in both branches

and the Governor's veto of no political

importance, it is not probable there will be

be much legislation of a strictly parti-

san nature during the coming session.

Senator Voorhees' elective judiciary bill will again be taken up, and duly considered. From the fact that Governor Werts vetoed it the Democratic members may arraign themselves solidly against it, and as it is more than prob-

able they will be reinforced by some

Republicans, it should not be classed as a partisan measure if successful. The

Constitutional amendments prepared

by the Commission appointed for that purpose, will occupy a considerable portion of the session. They are not likely to be enacted in the present form, but in no event are they likely to assume a partisan character. The Commission entirely ignored what seemed to be the popular feeling at the time it was appointed, for an elective instead of appointive judiciary. So contracted has been the discussion over its work that it is difficult to determine whether the Commission was justified in so doing by a change of sentiment among

the people or simply engrafted their

own judgment in the work. There is nothing in sight at the present time to

justify a lengthy session.

PHILADELPHIA, November 12, 1894. ALL-WOOL CHEVIOT, 20c By far the worthiest All-wool stuff we ever knew of at anything like twenty cents. Good, honest, every-thread-wool in handsome Cheviot effects and but 20 cents the yard! Look wonderfully like the 75c and $1 goods--not so fine, not so rich, but two steps away a good judge of such stuff could hardly tell which was which.

All-wool Camel's-Hair Cheviot at 25c (36 in.) and 50 in. All-wool Serge at 37½c are close by. So are English and French Plaids and Stripes at 35c--good enough to be $1 in almost any store--but they're black-and-white and black and gray.

BLACK CREPON If the importer had had more we'd have taken it. So pretty and so scarce that they'd command $2 the yard--if we pleased to make them do it. We don't. Grandly great buying warrants grandly great selling, and so the price is $1.25 the yard. One of the dashingest dress stuffs of all the blankets--is this exquisite French Crepon.

BED BLANKETS

In all the world no Blankets equal to the genuine Califor-

nias for softness, lightness,

whiteness and springy mellowness combined. They touch the top bud of Blanket goodness an beauty. The wool, the climate, the know-how all help. Precious they have been --until recent seasons--until we set the trade wondering by putting prices down where almost anyone can reach them. Here are five sizes at the lowest prices we ever made on equal goods:

60x80 in., $8 the pair 72x81 in., $9 the pair 78x86 in., $11 the pair 74x90 in., $12 the pair

90x96 in., $15 the pair

All sorts of Blanket prices have been tempered as tempt-

ingly.

At $1.75 the pair. Strong warm Blankets, cotton warp, 60x78 in., 1½ 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 $3 the pair. Warm, well made Wool Blankets, cotton warp, 70x80 in., 5 lbs.

At $3.25 the pair.

Good size, warm, all-wool filling Blankets, 70x80 in., 5 lbs.

At $3.75 the pair. Extra size all-wool filling Blankets on light cotton warp, 76x86 in., 6 lbs.

At $3.75 the pair.

Strictly all-wool Blankets, large, warm and well made, 76x86 in., 6 lbs.

At $5 the pair. Those extra quality, extra size, extra weight Blankets that have such a new record for the value $5 will command.

BOOK NEWS

A close friend of the late Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes writes to congratulate BOOK NEWS on the "very fine portrait" of the poet which appears in the November issue. It is a fine portrait and the life sketch is full and appreciative. All the departments of BOOK NEWS are abrim with just the information bookish people care for. There'll be Christmas books to pick. How shall it be done? Haphazard and at the last minute--in the usual way with

most people?

Money lost is only a part of

the penalty; opportunity gone

is more. No need to change anything if you let BOOK NEWS point the way. No hostile country was ever more exactly mapped by an invader than BOOK NEWS locates the pitfalls, the pleasures and profits of New Bookdom. And with all the rest it tells the fair prices. The absurd part of BOOK NEWS is the cost--5c a number, 50c a year.
