THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1895. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J. as second-class mail matter.

THERE is one strong argument in favor of an elective judiciary. In that case a judge will be responsible to the people and not to a boss and he can be defeated when he comes up for a second term instead of being reappointed at the dictation of a boss and in spite of the protests of the people. The opponents of the measure say that the people would pursue a partisan course in the selection of judges. Suppose they did, is it not true that they pursue a partisan course in electing a Governor who hypocritically pretends that he appoints non-partisans to office. The judiciary of New Jersey is now partisan. THE report of the Borough Collector and Treasurer for the year ending on Tuesday appears in another column. Collector Schurch has made out a very plain statement, showing the financial condition of the city. In looking over the disbursements we see where Council has unwisely expended some of the funds, the most important of which is $250 in the mayoralty contest and $105.54 to a Councilman for securing signatures to a petition of consent for the holding of an election to decide the question of bonding the borough to build a city hall. Both of these were

uncalled for and without any warrant of law.

THE election which is to be held today to decide the question of bonding is of grave importance, and every voter should go to the polls and cast his ballot either for or against after giving the matter careful consideration. While the election, owing to its illegality as pointed out in last week's issue, will be of no force, still it must be held, it having passed beyond control of Council. Let the sentiment for and against bonding our Borough be expressed in emphatic terms to-day. Ocean City is growing rapidly, and one of the principal causes for its growth is because we have no bonded debt. Of course, there are other causes, but this is one of the leading ones. Let us look at our sister resorts in our county, and with one or two exceptions they are all bonded. How do they compare to our city? Ocean City to-day is erecting several times as many buildings as all of them combined. Considering this with the reasons given last week, we cannot afford to bond our Borough.

Meets Public Approval.

EDITOR SENTINEL: Allow me, in behalf of myself and others, property owners, who are deeply interested in the future welfare and prosperity of Ocean City, to tender my congratulations upon your fearless and able editorial in the SENTINEL of the 28th aft. under the caption "Can we afford it?"

Irrespective of the evasions of law cited by you, the deductions made, from a business standpoint, are exceedingly well taken, and no one who sincerely

desires a steady improvement of the whole city can honestly object to the stand which you have taken. It may

become necessary to bond the city for improvements that are absolutely needed, if they cannot otherwise be ob-

tained; but it is a suicidal policy, and one detrimental to the city's develop-

ment, to anticipate the future by bond-

ing the place for any amount, either

large or small, that is not to be expended for the benefit of the whole people and the improvement of the entire city, thus adding to its general

attractiveness, instead of for the personal gratification, and, perhaps, emol-

ument, of a certain clique. When the

city has developed sufficiently; when necessary improvements of far greater

importance shall have been satisfacto-

rily completed, and when the population

shall have increased to justify an honest

expenditure for such a purpose there will doubtless be no difficulty in legally securing $10,000, or even $20,000, for the erection of a suitable city hall, free from ring manipulation, and which will be

an ornament that every honorable citizen can take pride in pointing out. --J. S. BORRAUMLE[?].

Wonderfully like the Woolen

Crepes. Maker meant them to be. Three steps away you'd

hardly know one from the

other.

Rich colorings. The dyers have studied to give them exactly the right shades for sun

or artificial light.

white lavender cream [?]

[?] old rose light pink cadet medium pink [?] light blue black nile brown tan

With 10 or 12 yards and a little ribbon or lace there's stuff for an evening costume that will charm with its beauty and surprise with its small cost.

Plain Crepes, 15c.

Novelty Crepes, 18c.

CHEVIOT DIAGONAL. Wide wale, Cheviot finish; 52 inch breadths of pure wool. One of the bargain brights of the Dress Goods circles. With a color range, price would be 75c at least. Navy blue only and we say 50c the yard. 7 yd. Dress patterns, $3.50.

KERSEYMERE Wool fine, twill fine, dainty melange colorings with now and then a tinge of higher tints toning the gray or brown. For quiet tastes. Four grades--30c, 60c, 75c, $1.

Now 37½c the yard. IRISH DRESS LINEN Very scarce, very stylish. All there is in this country is here, so far as we know. Pure flax and no nonsense in the weave--put together as honestly as peasant looms can do it. In the sunlight there's a silky glint--nothing but flax. Some of the most exclusive outing rigs of the season will be of this cool, crisp, unpretending Irish Dress Linen--the "Lineatlach Deanta in Eirinn," of the Emerald Isle. Light colors. navy blue nile cardinal cadet and four "natural" shades. Width 36 inches. 50c the yard. SHEETS--PILLOW CASES Follow a seam from end to end--not a stitch askew.

PATENT THUMB GLOVES And now the perfect fit and greater ease and better wear of the Courvoisier patent thumb has been carried into Gloves of medium grade. Better than that, lower prices have come with the greater goodness. Here are two sorts just on the counters: At $1 the pair. Women's [?]. At $1.25 the pair. Women's [?].

Temperance in the Legislature.

We do not know how the cause of

temperance is going to fare in the New Jersey Legislature during the present session. But as the Democrats are claimed as the friends of the rum traffic we hope the Republicans will be willing to be counted as its enemies, and give us some wholesome legislation upon the subject. Senator Daly seems to be the liquor champion in the Upper House, and has introduced a bill which we consider vicious in principal and pernicious in practice, giving rumsellers greater privileges and removing some of the safeguards of the people. Why not give us the famous Local Option Law passed a few years ago, eliminating therefrom any constitutional de-

fects? We deplore the rum traffic

under any circumstances; but if anything under heaven can be an excuse for it, it is when the people by a majority vote saddle themselves with it. And surely the people of a county if not a township, ought to have the right to put their foot on the infamous business when a majority are opposed to it. It is an insufferable outrage to fasten it upon a community, two-thirds of which

is opposed to it tooth and nail.

TO THE REPUBLICAN AND INDEPEN-

DENT VOTERS OF OCEAN CITY. Be it known that a permanent organ-

ization 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 Repub-

lican majority at each election, we fail

to see any benefits arising therefrom to 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 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.

The Democratic primary elections, held Thursday night, resulted in the nomination of the following ticket for the spring charter election: Mayor, J. Henry Edmunds; Recorder, J. Ashton Williams; Council, Eldredge Johnson, Walter S. Leaming, J. Stratton Ware; Assessor, William Elwell; Collector, D. W. Rodan; Treasurer, Henry Hand; Commissioners of Appeal, Charles P. Foster, Joseph P. Henry, A. L. Haynes. The candidates for Council are endorsements from the Republican ticket, a concession made to meet the desire of all parties for a conservative administration of municipal affairs, with spe-

cial reference to indiscriminate granting of winter saloon liquor licenses and unwise public expenditures. The Electric Railway Company at this place put a force of fifty men at work Monday morning to improve both branches of the road--Sewell's Point and Cape May Point--preparatory to opening up early in May.
