WHEN it comes to selecting presidential timber there will be no moss on the Tom Reed boom.

AND now Allan McDermott refuses an "honor" that the Democrats want to thrust upon him. He says that under no circumstances will he allow his name to be presented to the Democratic caucus for the United States Senator-

ship.

EVEN though not allowed to vote the women of New Jersey propose to form leagues with the intention of reforming the politics of the State. As such an organization can do no harm and will possibly do some good, there will be no serious objection from any source. HERE we are at the close of the first month of winter without any cold weather worth speaking of. With so much lopped off of winter at its beginning, we can feel assured an unusually long winter is impossible. Of course, no one knows how much cold weather is still to come, but we do know that the past is at least secure. THE spirit of improvement is abroad in the land, and many are the buildings, both boarding houses and dwellings, which are undergoing repairs, alterations, or material enlargement. This indicates that some owners are taking the necessary steps to place their property in a condition that will give it a decided business advantage in the com-

ing season's trade.

BRIEF AND CAREFUL.

The belief among the politicians is general that the legislative session of 1895 will be short and uneventful. The Township School law, the modification of which the people throughout the rural districts of the States have asked for, will be given early attention. The Democrats will no doubt do all in their power to block prompt legislation, and nothing would please them better than to see the Legislature divide upon questions in which the people are interested,

for it would make for them campaign ammunition to be used next Fall. Un-

less they can do this, and the chances

are all against them, they are sure to

be beyond recovery in the Gubernatorial election next year. The Republicans understand the situation, and they appear to be united in the opinion that prompt action after the Legislature con-

venes is what is best.

SENATE PRESIDENCY.

The triangular fight for the Presidency of the Senate is still on, but, so far as can be learned, the position of the forces has not been materially changed. Senator Stokes appears to have the call on his opponents. His friends believe that he is sure of eleven votes and are confident that before the

Legislature meets others will be in-

duced to come over to the side of the

little "Warhorse of Cumberland." Senator Thompson, of Somerset, and Senator Rogers, of Camden, are doing their best to break the ranks of the Stokesites, but they are making but little or no headway so far as can be found out. It is claimed that Senator Rogers has suggested that Mr. Stokes draw out of the contest and give him an open field against Senator Thompson. This the junior Senator has refused to do, in deference to the wishes of his many friends.

TRADE OR PROFESSION. Many young men find it difficult in deciding as to their life work--whether it shall be a trade or a profession, have the Young Men's Era. The soiled clothes, dirty hands and "wages" of the mechanic contrast unfavorably with the neat apparel and monthly "salary" of the office man. Besides, society is generally supposed to esteem the professional man more highly than the working man. These are among the arguments employed by the young men who desire ease and refinement. Such considerations are proper enough in their place, but they should not be entertained first. The matter should be determined by the answer to the question, Where can I achieve the highest success? The young man who can answer this question intelligently and honestly, and proceeds to act in accorance with his best judgment, will do all that can be done, on the human side, in the solution of the problem. If trade it is, then the dirt and overalls are to be borne as among the incidentals to an honest calling--disagree-ables, to be sure, but not nearly so much so as failure in a line of effort for which one is not fitted. To spoil a good carpenter to make a poor lawyer is not wise, and it is to be doubted if a man of good sense and Christian cheerfulness will be more happy in a profession unsuited to his nature than in a trade

for which he was evidently providentially intended.

A man may wield the hammer and still be cultured; a blacksmith may be a student, and the tinner may be a scientist --and it is likely that these tradesmen may get as much time for reading and

study outside their everyday routine of labor, as professional men who are equally as diligent, especially, since the

factor have many more social engagements which require the expenditure of time. Labor by the day is not incompatible with culture.

But the man who learns a trade need not always expect to work for another. With intelligent application he may hope to rise to the position of an employer, where a knowledge of the technicalities of his trade will be found as necessary as before. From this point his advancement is limited generally only by his ability.

HOW IS A MAN ELEVATED? THE word "elevation" in its primary meaning, is simply the raising of a material object from a lower to a higher position in space. But it is also a word in very general use, as applied to human beings; and while of course here its material sense can be only a symbol, its real signification is by no means fixed or definite. Much is said and written on the elevation of man; and there are few, if any, persons in a nation like ours, at once free and intelligent, who do not desire it for themselves or their children; yet the notions of what it really implies vary with every variation of character, and are often so vague as to preclude and definite and practical

efforts to obtain it.

In some minds, elevation stands for an increase of financial income. A man must be able to procure a better house, more comforts and luxuries for himself and higher advantages for his children. Especially is this the thought, if he is thus raised above the necessity of labor, and if he is thereby able to enter into what are called the upper classes of society, and join in a life of fashion and expense that were once foreign to all his habits. Others think of elevation as being lifted into places of trust and power, filling important positions, rising from obscurity into popularity, from seclusion into public notice. There is also the thought of being elevated by means of education. The advantages of school, of college, of professional study, of technical instruction, of lectures and classes on every subject, constitute for some the only

factors of true elevation.

There is a modicum of truth in all these definitions; yet they are all inadequate. The real difference between the elevation of an inanimate object and that of a man, is that the force

which raises the one must come from

without, and that which raises the other must come from within. It is an external impetus from the hand of the boy that sends the ball high up in the air; it is the strength of the wind that whirls the leaf aloft; it is the action

of gases that lifts the balloon out of our

sight, and the power of steam that heaves the granite from its rocky bed.

In a certain way, man, too, may be

lifted by external pressure. Wealth may be poured in upon him by some

turn of fortune's wheel, and his condi-

tion changed from poverty to ease and

comfort. Society now opens doors to

him that were closed before, and he is welcomed into circles which he had never expected to enter. But is he thus really elevated? Like the balloon, his

position in the world is altered, and,

also like the balloon, he is himself the

same that he was before. The real

elevation of which man is capable never leaves him as it found him. It may or may not effect his surroundings; but it will always raise his character and transform him into a better or wiser or nobler man. No one can do this for him; it must be done, if at all, by the action of an inward force, enhancing his powers, uplifting his thoughts, purifying his feelings, heightening his aims. For example, suppose that his wealth has been gained, not by gift or accident, or speculation, but in response to the energy of his endeavors and the wisdom of his plans. He has been thrifty, self-controlled, industrious, intelligent, honorable, and has thus gained not only property, but the respect and esteem of his fellow men, who hasten to place him in positions of trust and honor him with their confidence. This is true elevation, for his powers have been strengthened, his wisdom has increased, his nature has become enriched. Nor is such elevation necessarily connected with outward prosperity. Had misfortune overtaken him in the process, and left him as poor and unknown as before, though his position in the world would have been unchanged, his ability and character would have risen, and he would have

become a finer type of man.

One man, through favor, or influence, or interest, gains a high office in political life. Another, without any of these accessories, wins an equal place through his fitness for it, gained by long years of faithful, loyal service and gradual preparation. The former, not withstanding his official position, has undergone no more improvement than the mineral which was dug from the earth. As he

was before, so he remains. The latter

has become truly elevated, for he has risen in worth; the force from within has developed his powers and fitted him for higher usefulness. One youth has been put through the various stages of school and college life; he has been sent abroad for culture, and has had done for him all that money and friends can do. Yet, with all this external pushing upwards, he may not have half the true mental elevation of another who, without any advantages but what he has earned for himself, is yet a close thinker; a sincere seeker after truth; an earnest wrestler with mental difficulties; a student, not merely of books, but of men and of

nature.

The same is true of moral character. It cannot be really elevated by external force. People may awaken and inspire and help each other by their interest, sympathy, advice and influence, but if the character is to be built up into fair and beautiful proportions, it must be by the personal force of the individual himself. Goethe says, truly, "Life lies before us, as a huge quarry lies before the architect; he deserves not the name of an architect, except when, out of this fortuitous mass, he can combine with the greatest economy and fitness and durability, some form, the pattern of which originated in his spirit. All things without us, navel may add, all things on us, are of the elements, but deep within us lies the creative force, which out of these can produce what they were meant to be."

Base Ball Game. One of the most interesting games of base ball this season was played on Christmas morning. The young fellows, or, in other words, the single men of this town, have been bantering the married men to a game of base ball, threatening to "clean 'em up," etc. The married men getting tired of this sort of thing, concluded to give these young sprigs a chance to "clean 'em up," if they could. They have heard nothing else for the past week but how badly they would feel when the single men would beat them. Notwithstanding the fact that the single men outnumbered the married men, and had more to select from, the married men gathered from their smaller number, enough good men and true

to form a "nine" not to be sneezed at.

They played. Oh! how they played. They fairly swept the beach with the single men.

When the game was ended, the score stood 6 to 2 in favor of the married men, and they haven't heard anything from them since. The following is the list of players and their positions:

Married men--H. Conver, c; Q. Champion, p; A. King, 1 b; E. Clouting, 2 b; R. E. Cox, 3 b; G. Lee, s s; S. Burley, r f; H. Campbell, c f; Jeffries, l f. Single men--V. Adams, c; A. Smith, p; J. Cox, l b; A. Morey, 2 b; G. Baker, 3 b; O. Morey, s s; H. Morey, r f; C. Breckley, c f; E. Hand, l f.

Married men, 6; single men, 2. Umpires, George Breckley and Emerson Smith.

A Life Saver Rewarded. Henry Westcott, the noted swimmer and life guard, who, for two or three seasons, was attached to the Life Saving stations of Cape May and Atlantic City, has gone to the State of Washington, where he expects to become secretary to Superintendent Robb, of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. The position was secured for him by a man whom he had saved from drowning last summer while employed on the South Jersey Railroad in Cape May county. The man, a Mr. Stevens, was running and fell overboard in a creek, and Westcott sprang from a hand-car, leaped from a bridge into the stream and res-

cued him.

He carried a number of gold and silver medals and other gifts, which have been given him for daring rescues he has made. He claims to have saved over 40 lives at Cape May.

Another Proposed Investigation In Atlantic City. The Executive Committee of the Taxpayers' League, a recently formed organization, has decided in favor of applying to Supreme Court Justice Reed for an investigation of the City's financial condition, and the question will be submitted to the League at a meeting to be held in Odd Fellows' Hall, on the 28th instant. It is estimated that the investigation will cost not less than $2000, and many prominent citizens, who have refused to co-operate with the League, because of the unsubstantial character of the organization, and for other reasons, will oppose the movement. The city has had two financial investigations in the past ten years, which, though they cost the taxpayer the nice little sum of $4000, revealed no signs of official corruption--in fact, it was shown that in two cases the city was the debtor.

Schooner P. T. Barnum Ashore. The three-masted schooner P. T. Barnum, from Bridgeport, Conn., to Philadelphia, light, went ashore on Hereford Bar Saturday night, and the life saving crew immediately boarded the vessel and remained aboard all night to render all assistance possible. The vessel can be saved. The wrecking steamer Tamesi, of Somers' Point

arrived Sunday afternoon.

A Schooner Sold for $315.

The brick schooner Hannah Champion, lying in the Thoroughfare at Atlantic City, was sold for debt Thursday and brought but $315, Mark Booye, of that city, being the purchaser. The schooner is over thirty years old, but it

is said the receipts of the sale would not

pay for her canvas.

TO THE REPUBLICAN AND INDEPEN-

DENT VOTERS OF OCEAN CITY.

Be it known that a permanent organization known as the Ocean City Republican Club, with headquarters in Howell's Hall, has been established for the promulgation of Republican principles and the solidifying of the Republican strength at the ballot box at every election to be held in Ocean City. With the evidence before us of a large Republican majority at each election, we fail to see any benefits arising therefrom to the party either in principle or county affairs so far as we are concerned, and in order to sustain our just claims to recognition in the representation of our town we have formed this organization. We desire to have the co-operation and

assistance of all loyal Republicans and any others who may deem it wisdom to join our ranks, where the cardinal principle is that the majority shall rule and no boss dictation.

Application may be made to the Secretary or any member for membership.

To suit the opportunities of all applicants we have three degrees of membership--Active, Honorary and Contributive--the relations of which will be cheerfully explained to all who propose to join. By order of the Club, I. S. CHAMPION, Secretary.

BAKERSVILLE.

Richard Price has returned from the State Normal School for the holidays. Cornelius Homan is seriously ill. Capt. John Fifield suffered a stroke of paralysis Saturday morning. We are pleased to hear that the Captain is improving.

MAY'S LANDING. A regular meeting of the May's Landing Building and Loan Association was held last evening. A shooting match was the attraction at Pastime Park Christmas Day. A public installation of officers of Narragansett Tribe, No. 101, Imp. O. R. M., next Tuesday evening. J. F. Davis is making noticeable improvements to his property at the corner of Main street and Lenape avenue. Dr. James and family have moved to Atlantic City. The treat for the Sunday-school scholars of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches will be given this evening. William M. Perry has purchased the store business of Jeffries & Beckett. The children of our public school under the leadership of Prof. Riley tendered Mrs. Charles Gilbert a donation on Friday. The estimable old lady was in needy circumstances, and this act of the children is worthy of imitation by the older ones. PORT REPUBLIC. Miss Revilla L., daughter of John W. and Sarah Johnson, and George B. Somers, of Oceanville, were married at the residence of the bride's parents, on Wednesday of last week, by Rev. J. E. Adams. Warren Collins, son of Richard Collins, arrived home last Saturday evening from Norfolk, where he has been for three years in the ship yard superintended by his cousin, Somers Smith. Mr. Collins is studying designing. Success will eventually attend

him.

Elmer Adams shipped the last of his large flock of turkeys last Friday to Atlantic City. The turkey business has paid him this year better than some other industries. Miss Lizzie McCollum came home from Moorestown last Saturday evening to spend the holidays with her mother. She enjoys her situation very much and is looking well. Isaac Smallwood, wife and daughter returned from a visit to Philadelphia, where they went to see their son Howard, who has received an operation upon his leg. Mr. Smallwood reports that his son will eventually be cured and walk without a crutch. Captain Leek Bowen is home for the winter, leaving his vessel in the care of his son Richard. Miss Eva Bowen is off for a ten days' visit among relatives and friends. Captain Lewis Blake is visiting home again. Gratifying news of George Leek's health improving has been received. The death of James Hickman, which occurred last Sunday morning, has saddened the hearts of his neighbors. His has been a quiet unobtrusive life, but such as is calculated to endear him to those best acquainted with him. He leaves a family of six girls, all married but one. He will be much missed. ATLANTIC CITY. The interior of Jeffries & Kates' undertaking establishment on Atlantic avenue was damaged by fire to the extent of $250 Sunday afternoon. W. J. Maloney, Manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company in this city, has been notified by the Government Weather Bureau, at Washington, of his appointment as Observer, in this city, in place of E. H. Emery, who has been transferred to the New York Bureau. Atlantic City, which has been rated a first-class office for twenty-one years, has, in consequence of the change of observer, been reduced to the second

class.

Police Officer Jack Vansant had an unpleasant experience Saturday night with an insane man who attempted to drown himself in the ocean at States avenue. The fellow was bent upon ending his life and the officer was rapidly getting the worst of the tussle when friends of the demented man arrived and took him in charge. The police are looking for an individual who on Friday night destroyed the appearance of many bulk windows on Atlantic avenue by scratching them, it is supposed, with a diamond. Joseph Galupo, a fruit merchant, who had a $100 window damaged, offers a reward equal to the cost of the window for the arrest and conviction of the miscreants. Mattie Corson, colored, and her lover, Carolus Brown, were arrested Sunday on the charge of robbing Mrs. Sarah B. Adams, of 1611 Arctic avenue, by whom the woman was employed. The property stolen was $71 in money and a handsome gold watch. The greater part of the money was recovered. Brown,

when arrested, was about to leave the

city on a morning train. He was rigged out in new clothes purchased with a part of the stolen money, and though at first he maintained an air of defiance, he soon gave way and confessed all, even telling where the Carson woman

was in hiding.

In response to a question by City Council, if the city could not reduce the police force to bring the expense of the department within the limits of the

appropriation for its maintenance, Solicitor Endicott has given an adverse opinion. He stated that under existing laws no officer, or officers, could be discharged for any other reason than violating the rules of the department. He stated, however, that the salaries and the time for service of the police could be cut to meet the object of curtailing expenses. We do all kinds of Sign Painting. Graining and Sign Work a specialty. B. R. Smith & Sons, 1046 Asbury avenue.

Cape May County Educational Affairs.

Superintendent V. O. Miller, of the Cape May county public schools, has issued his report. Throughout the county there are 36 public schools, in

which are engaged 58 teachers, 33 of

whom are women. The total number of children of a school age is 2987, of which 299 attended no school during the year. There are 22 children in the county over the age of 10 years who can neither read nor write. Of the total number of children enrolled, 1500 are females and 1487 males.

There is one manual training school in the county, and that is at the Woodbine Colony.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, December 24, 1894. January Sale OF MUSLIN UNDERWEAR.

Our January sales of women's Muslin Underwear are looked forward to by thrifty housekeepers all over the land. Nothing of the king that approaches them in magnitude or interest is presented by any other store in America. Preparations are made months, maybe six months, in advance. Orders are given when goods are cheapest and factories dullest. So that materials and labor cost the least possible. And manufacturers are glad to work for us almost without profit--even at a loss --at such times rather than allow their workpeople to scatter. But the vital point is to what to order. Inferior Muslin or Cambric will not pass here. Poor workmanship will not be accepted. Skimped sizes or scant lengths are never permitted. Whether the garment is low cut or high cut it is made from the same generous pattern. Is it any wonder that our Muslin Underwear sales have grown to be greater than those of any other five houses in Philadelphia combined? A Catalogue of goods is ready and will be mailed on request.

DRESS GOODS Dress Patterns, boxed or unboxed, were never before such great favorites with gift buyers--and they were surprisingly popular in former years. No chance to go wrong with such a gift.
