THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1895.

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

ONE trouble with this world is that there are too many people in it who will not cast their bread upon the water less they are assured beforehand that it will come back again in a few days a full grown sandwich, all trimmed with ham, butter and mustard, rolled up in a warranty deed for one-half of the earth and a mortgage on the other half. ANGER is short lived madness. The less said and done when under the domain of such an internal force the better. If things go wrong, which they will occasionally do, it's a poor way to mend matters to give way to wrath by throwing the reins over the necks of the prancing steeds of your indignation and let them carry you headlong over

some terrible precipice.

THE Legislative Investigating Committee is still probing into the charges of corruption and thievery in connection with the State House and the departments of the government that have been used to fatten favored contractors and political heelers. The deeper they go the worse it seems. One line of investigation results in unearthing scandals in places believed to have been above suspicion, and the committee may be kept at work all summer. They are wanted in Jersey City and Newark, where the Democratic administrations have left anything but unblemished reputations for honesty and straight business dealings. The reports of the evidence brought out at the hearings is a sickening history of fraud and

deliberate robbery.

Fruit Growers' Union Loses. A verdict for $9500 was awarded Albert H. Simons, of Hammonton, Thursday in the Camden court, against the Fruit Growers' Union and Co-operative Soiety, also of Hammonton. The case had been occupying the attention of Judge Garrison and a jury for three

days.

Simons worked in the large store of the union at Hammonton. In May, 1893, while he was ascending on an elevator in the store, the large castiron wheel burst into pieces and fell on his head. His skull was fractured, and he was taken up for dead. The local

physicians and an expert surgeon trephined his skull, from which pieces of brain oozed and were removed. The doctors declared that he could not live; but he did and was able to appear as a witness at the trial. He wore a skull cap, which, when removed, revealed a frightful scar. He will be an invalid for life.

THE present political situation in this State would indicate that with proper exercise of judgment in the selection of a candidate, the next Governor of New Jersey will be a Republican. Not in recent years has such an opportunity for Republican success presented itself. Disgusted with the rapacious stealings, with the flagrant disregard of right and morality in legislation, with the disgraceful partisan appointments of the Abbett-McDermott-Thompson machine thousands of honest Democrats have shown this disgust by refusing to support their party at the polls. Nor have events in the past two years been calculated to change this situation. On the one hand, the Republican Legislatures of '94 and '95 have proven worthy of the people's trust; and on the other hand, the dead giant excepted, the same leaders still dominate the Democratic machine, while the incapacity of the National Administration and recent disclosures of State House peculiarities serve to increase the general distrust of the Democratic machine by the voters.

RATHER A LIVELY CORPSE. When the voters of this country unfortunately put Mr. Grover Cleveland in the highest office in their gift, the Republican party was loudly proclaimed as dead. It was even asserted that the party would never be resurrected, much less secure any important offices as in the past. The prophecies seem to have failed of fulfillment. The Republicans are more numerous in the United States to-day than ever. They are intensely alive. They have fight in them, and when anybody is to be elected the chances are that he will be a Republican, or next thing to it. The people have wisely concluded that Democracy is a delusion, a fateful snare that throttles enterprise, business development, home industries, and those things that once made them happy and contented. Last week the news of Republican victories in the West was very gratifying. The unexpected had really happened when cities like Chicago and St. Louis renounced Democracy and rolled up big majorities for the Republican ticket.

The good news was duplicated last week in New Jersey, Newark, Jersey City, New Brunswick, Trenton, Camden and smaller places elected Republicans to office, in some instances for the first time in many years. The party is accumulating strength and courage and will be in better shape for the election next fall, when Governor Werts will have the distinction of giving up his place to the first Republican that New Jersey has elected and installed since Governor Newell's day. We say elected and installed, because there is a belief as big as a mountain that one or two Republicans have been elected governor but were swindled out of their rights by the system of Abbetsen that reached its highest perrec-

tion in Hudson county.

It may be necessary to have a few

Democrats in office, but the country will be better off when every State has a Republican Legislature, a Republican Governor, and Republican majorities in both houses of Congress. Likewise

when Grover Cleveland is once more

relegated to innocuous desuetude, and a true and tried American citizen fills the chair that he has fractured into splinters.

I have on hand several small cottages which I will trade for lots located be-

tween Sixth and Twelfth streets, Ocean

City. I also have some good building

lots on which I will erect cottages for

any one wishing to invest in a home by the sea. Terms reasonable, and first

mortgages taken on the properties when desired. Correspondence solicited. ABEL D. SCULL, Builder.

Answered the Last Call.

Enos R. Williams, a veteran of the Twenty-fifth Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, and a prominent contractor and builder, died Monday at his home, "The Glenwood," Cape May, aged 33 years. Mr. Williams was a leading Prohibitionist, uncompromising and stalwart in maintaining the principles of his party, which he did on the stump and in council. He was a candidate for the State Legislature, receiving the full strength of his party's vote. During his active career he built hotels and cottages at Stone Harbor, Avalon, Atlantic City and Cape May, and also carried out building contracts with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. His latest business enterprise was the building of a large hotel at Mountain Lake Park, Md., which is not yet complete. He leaves a wife, two daughters and a son. His funeral takes place on Thursday. As a member of Cape Island Lodge, F. A. M., and Post 40, G. A. R., he will be accorded memorial honors

by these bodies.

Ocean City's Boom. This seaside resort is having the largest building boom of all its years. Each succeeding year for three years past has eclipsed the former. Sixty houses were built last season despite the hard times. It was thought this year might be a slack one, but thus far it is far in excess of last year. It seems almost like magic. The outlook is even more flattering than ever. The Pennsylvania Railroad is building three pleasure steamers to ply from their pier at Second street to Longport, which will displace the little old boats of former years, so that the thousands that run down from Atlantic City on the trolley will not be afraid to cross the inlet and bay to Ocean City. The electric car service will be better than last year. The President of the Association, Rev. S. W. Lake, promises the best program of summer services ever known here. Rev. Thomas Harrison has been engaged for the camp meeting.--Epworth

Advocate.

Death of Mrs. Hoff. Mrs. Elnora, wife of Angus D. Hoff, of Seaville, died Sunday morning after an illness of several years. Mrs. Hoff was a patient sufferer. The remains were followed to their last resting place at Petersburg by an unusually large concourse of relatives and friends. Rev. R. M. Waples preached the funeral sermon from a passage selected by deceased. The funeral arrangements were under the direction of Roland B. Corson.
