The Village Paper.

No man is too poor to take his village newspaper, says an exchange, and it is false economy to get along without it. Hardly a week passes that something does not appear in its columns that will be a financial benefit to the subscriber, and by the end of the year he has made or saved from one to twenty times its subscription price. The city papers do not take the place of your village paper, although people seem to think they do.

The city papers are all right in their way but they don't give you what you are most interest in--your local and

county news. You cannot learn from

them when and where public meetings are to be held, who is dying or who are marrying, who are moving in or

who are moving out, court proceedings, who wants to sell land--in fact, hundreds of items which might be of particular importance for you to know. Such matter city papers cannot furnish but your village paper can and does.

A STRONG effort will be made to have the next Legislature repeal or amend the mechanics' lien law. Those who favor the scheme say that there is no desire to repeal that part of the law

protecting the wage-earner, but contend

that the law as it now stands gives too much protection to the material men

and not enough to capital.

IF any one imagines that the men employed at the life saving stations on the New Jersey coast have a "snap" in

earning the meagre monthly salary

Uncle Sam doles out to them for a portion of the year, he would have quickly modified that opinion had he been com-

pelled to take one of the five mile patrols last Thursday morning while the cyclone

was furnishing the music.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. The meeting of the next Legislature which convenes next Tuesday is causing all eyes to turn toward the State capital. This is not only true of the politician and the office-seeker, but the business men are hopeful that we will have a business session and that many bad laws will be repealed and good ones enacted in their stead. There is every

indication that the session will be a short one and that there will be no delay in getting down to business as soon as the body meets. The amendments to the State Constitution will demand thoughtful consideration, and the elective judiciary bill may cause some delay, but aside from these there are but few bills that will come before the body but that will be rapidly disposed of.

Unless all signs fail there will be no contest over the United States Senatorship. The prospects are that we will have a short and business-like session.

WORTHY OF THEIR HIRE. The Trenton True American strenuously objects to the proposition to pay the eminent Republican counsel who were engaged last winter to defend the rights of the people in the matter of the despicable, disreputable and criminal attempt of the Democrats, headed by McDermott, Adrain and Daly, and backed by Werts, to steal the State Senate. The True American is quite willing, however, that the Democratic counsel engaged to uphold the preposterous contentions of Governor Werts and Attor-ney-General Stockton should be paid. Indeed, the True American would be false to itself if it took any other position, for with the defunct Journal, of Newark, The True American was the only paper in the State to uphold that dastardly plot. Never, for a single instant, did it withhold its support from

the gang; never did it cease to urge and spur on the conspirators.

The saddest day for The True American came when the Supreme Court, with only one dissenting voice, that of Leon Abbett, brushed aside the flimsy contentions of the Democratic counsel and sustained the people and the Republican party at every point. If there is the slightest reward for virtue, if there is any advantage in advocating a righteous cause, then the Republicanq counsel are far more entitled to remuneration than Messrs. Stevens and

Lindsbury.

The fact that Attorney-General Stockton chose two Democratic lawyers to assist him in his inquiry into the rights of both Senates, shows, furthermore, that Mr. Stockton's attitude was rather that of a partisan than of the legal, impartial representative of the State. If Mr. Stockton wanted to traverse all the facts and all the law in the case, why did it not occur to him to call some eminent Republican lawyers to his aid--men like Courtlandt Parker, Mr. McCarter, Mr. Keasbey or Mr. Grey, any one of whom could have placed the At-torney-General on the right track? This was not a personal or partisan matter; it was a State matter of the highest importance. Fortunately, the course of the Republican party has been vindicated at every point. Witness the triumphant verdict of one month ago, when every county, except one, voted to place the affairs of the State in the hands of the Republicans, rather than entrust them to the Democrats, who, like that infamous band in New York, did not even hesitate to steal a whole Legislature. A further expression of the real sentiment of the State will be made when the State undertakes the duty of electing a Governor. On that occasion the voters will elect a man to whom such a thing as approving the Senate steal will be a moral impossibility. And if this Legislature decides, as it should, to remunerate the patriotic gentlemen, who, without even thought of pecuniary reward, gave their services to the State in the hour of its gravest peril, we venture to say that there will be no dissenting voices save those of the Democratic conspirators and of their steadfast ally, The Trenton True American.

The Storm. The storm which commenced on Wednesday and continued till Friday was unequalled in scenic grandeur by any that has visited the coast for years. For several days the overburdened clouds hung coldly and heavily in the skies and the ocean assumed the greenish, leaden hue that portends a storm. Little bird's life was visible, save the gulls, which uttered plaintive cries as they fluttered uneasily up and down the strand, and a few provident fish-hawks that winged their steady flight out over the ocean to slowly circle and then shoot downward into the murky waters, sending up a shower of spray, from which they arose with an unfortunate menhaden in their talons to bear homeward to the forests of the main land. Fishermen gave an extra hitch to the cables which held their yachts and smacks, as with the prophetic instinct of long generations of their craft they interpreted the signs of the coming storm. A fitful foreboding wind swept down from Labrador and calmed the ripples of the fresh water creeks and pools into crystal, chilled the buds on the wild rose bushes that the mild weather had swelled almost into bursting and gave in exchange tiny, quaker white throated snow birds. The storm came on apace and as night close upon the earth the crash of the tumbling surf upon the beach was scarcely equaled by the constant soar of the the [sic] winds. A pale, slender crescent crept up from the horizon, but was soon lost in the blackness of the tempest. All night the tumult continued, and when morning dawned the wild spectacle of the storm had reached its height. For a time every outline of sea and land was shrowded [sic] in a grey veil of torrents of rain. This was succeeded by a soft, white baptism of snow, quickly followed by sharp tinkling darts of sleet. As the waters driven by the tide and lashed by the winds into impotent rage, crouched for an instant and then sprang in mad fury to the north, south, east and west, the storm rack above parted again and again and great spaces on the ocean were illumined by glittering shafts of sunlight and as they fell upon

the foam, wave answered wave across

the black yawning trough between with signals of golden spume from their burnished crests and then with a wild refluent surge swept far up on the shore. On the other side of the island the tide from the bay submerged the meadows, while the main land was scarcely visible. The lone pine at the Anchoring Point bowed and swayed till its branches almost swept the ground as if in agony for the burden of secrets it would fain reveal, but dare not, of the sins of the pirate king whose bones have

lain for a century at its base.

Anxious eyes watched the swinging, dipping masts of the different kinds of craft anchored in the bay straining and tugging at their moorings, all held securely but one. A yacht slipped her cable, and with sail furled and rudder lashed drifted slowly from the shore until caught by the current of the main channel, when she passed out through the Inlet like a race horse, careening gracefully to the motion of the waters, and upon reaching the breakers whirled about with a quick bound as if to retrace her course, but the waves refused to give up their spoil and she was borne out to sea stern foremost, to founder perhaps on some tropical shore or drift

into unknown Arctic seas.

As the fury of the storm abated Boreas came down from the north equipped for work upon the salt water,

the bay was promptly frozen and as the waves of the ocean rolled back with the

ebb tide, a prismatic covering overlay the strand between high and low water lines that fastened the clusters of seaweed, scallops, clams and un-

sightly drift--the aftermath of the storm--securely to the beach, transforming them into strange shapes and fancies which the sunlight fell upon and blended the violet, amber and pearl tints into soft, changing lights that eluded the sense of color, and in this final touch of beauty we read instinctively the poem of the storm as it lay at our feet upon the silver sands.

Wanamaker's. | Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, December 31, 1894. WELL UNDER WAY

Semi-Annual Muslin Underwear Sale Great popular intelligence is the cause of many hun-

dred-fold growth of our Muslin Underwear sales.

Keep the news clearly before you. Do not confuse facts. Associate thoughts of doubtful conditions with the places to

which they belong.

Muslin Underwear Trash--Lots of it, but not here. Muslin Underwear--Old Stock--Abundant, but not

here

Not wonderful that only here such low values for high qualities of Muslin Underwear can be named. Original methods, invented here, produce original results. Not old goods marked down. Not dregs of the market. Neither tolerated in this stock. But the assortment of well

toward

FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND GARMENTS of regularly made Muslin Underwear has been carefully gathered, and is offered at prices that make trash doubly extravagant, and old mark-downs dear. No point of excellence is sacrificed. Not a jot of waste retained. Not a cent of intervening profit allowed to agents or dealers. Home sewing on Muslin Underwear is wasteful. The worry of personal cutting and fitting Muslin Underwear is reckless. Helping you to avoid them are only incidental advan-

tages.

Every Word Printed Here is a Thoughtful Word and the whole statement is carefully made. It claims absolute

confidence.

FINE FURS Think of a Fur stock as fresh as this year's chrysanthemums! Not a Collar, not a Muff, not a Cape, not a piece big or little that ever saw the Summer sunshine in a retail

store.

That's the way we do the

Fur business.

Get for each season the new, fresh, stylish things made for

that season.

No dried up skins in such a stock; no re-vamped, re-dyed, tail-of-the-procession styles, struggling to hide the wrinkles

of age with a smirk.

Only the newest of the new and best of the best for us and not a vestige of the old time 200-per-cent-profit prices clinging

to them.

No necessity for them.

We treat Furs just as any other merchandise in the store is treated--get them for the least that taking the largest lots makes possible, add a little for our services and pass them

along.

When the clear-the-table time comes around we do the clearing in the Wanamaker way.

That time is here now.

TO THE REPUBLICAN AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS OF OCEAN CITY. Be it known that a permanent organization known as the Ocean City Re-

publican 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 in

the party either in municipal 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 appli-

cants we have three degrees of member-

ship--Active, Honorary and Contributive--the relations of which will be cheer-

fully explained to all who propose to join.

By order of the Club, I. S. CHAMPION, Secretary.
