1t was hoped that the nomination of
Joseph Hanes as the Republican can
didate for Senator in Cape May county
would be satisfactory to every element
in the party, but this seems not to be
the case judging from the tone of the
Cape May papers. Certain Republi-
cans of that county have twice thrown
away the State Senatorship in recent
years because Of their unseemly wran-
giles for leadership. In this campaign
where a United States Senatorial vote
is at stake they ought to act manly, and
work for the success of the nominee.
The Republicans of Cape May have it
in their power to send a Republican
Senator to Trenton, and it will be a
burning shame if they fail to do it.

There are not as many visitors now
at the Grant tomb in New York City,
in the early part of the day, but later
they come thick and fast, and by one
o'clock it becomes necessary to form
them in line, and march them past the
grated doors, two abreast. Early in
the morning, recently, VIM. H. Van
derbilt drove up to the tomb. He
stopped at the flag-stone at the en-
trance to the vault, and remained for
some time gazing sadly at the casket
containing the mortal remains of his
old friend. He spoke to no one, and
when he went away his eyes were suf-
fused with tears. Soon after he had
gone, Mrs Grant, accompanied by U.
S. Grant, Jr., drove up in close car
riage The crowd of visitors parted
respectfully, and the sentry on guard
saluted them as they left their carriage
and entered the tomb. They remained
inside only a few minutes, standing by
the side of the coffin among a wealth
of magnificent roses that Mrs. Grant
had sent up the day before.

The primary" was tolerably well
attended this time, and with cheerful
unanimity the voters agreed to send
delegates to vote for our townsman,
Morris Bacon. There is strong feel
ing for Mr.. Bacon, and one and all
with perhaps few exceptions, desire
that he may be the choice of the Con
vention. For no fault of his own but
on a loosing ticket, he was once beaten
for this position of Assemblyman, and
it is no more than justice that his long
services to the party should be re
warded, as well as reparation made for
the loss he has already suffered. Mr..
Bacon is possessed of those qualities
OF mind and heart that will fit him for
the position of representative, and if
1t is the will of the people to elect him
to the office, he will represent his dis
trict with credit to himself and honor
to his constituency.
The Reading railroad seems to be in
bad way financially, nevertheless.
we are glad it had a few dollars to
spare for our Station. The platform
has been covered for its whole length
with good roof, and one end of the
structure has been converted into an
office, which is considerably more con-
venient and comfortable than the old
box that heretofore has done duty for
an office and waiting room. Our
Township does its full share toward
supporting this railroad, and deserves
better conveniences than it has had
for either the travelling public or ship
pers of freight.

Many people believed Revenue Col
lector Ferrell's professions of friend
ship for the laboring men, but when he
got in a position to give them some of
the Federal crumbs he turned a deaf
ear to their entreaties. For his chief
clerk he appointed that horny handed
son of toll, Statesman Sam Semple
The only place that Sam" ever toiled
was around some of Camden's ward
polls. AS Deputy in Gloucester he
selected not a fellow workingman, but
Charles Maloney, who divides his time
between selling fertilizers and talking
politics. 1t was thought that when he
appointed his Cumberland Deputy,
Mr.. Ferrell certainly would fulfill his
pledges, but instead of that he ap-
pointed ex-Mayor Smalley one of or
ganized labor's most bitter and out
spoken opponents.-Salem South Jer-

devised by a deceased justice of the

should not touch any of the money un
til it amounted to $5,O00OO0 1t was

"HELL GATE" DESTROYED.

The gates of Long Island Sound,
near New York City, on the East river,
whose perilous passage reminded those
who named the place of the entrance
to the internal regions, were torn from
their hinges Saturday, by the Titanic
forces stored up in thousands of pounds
of dynamite and rack a-rock in the
sub:aQueous galleries of Flood Rock.
General Newton's calculations proved
to be correct. and, aside from a little
delay in the explosion, everything went
off according to the programme. The
shock was distinctly felt over the sur
rounding country in Huny places far
removed from the scene Of the eXplo-
sion, the sensation being more pro-
nOunced in some instances than in the
immediate vicinity of the explosion.
a large number of people witnessed the
explosion from the surrounding shore
and from boats on the water. Every
precautiOn was taken by the establish
ment of lines of soldiers and policemen
on shore, and of steam launches of the
Navy on the water, to keep people be-
yond the limit of possible danger 1t
is nearly fifteen years since General
Newton began the work of undermin-
ing these rocks in preparation for the
explosion.
At 11.13 those standing on the South
ern end of Wards Island saw Il huge
expanse of water and spray rise as if
by magic in the East river. 1t spread
from shore to shore, rising, it seemed
at first, 200 feet high. A sober calcula-
ton makes it one-half that height. The
picture presented was that of a huge
iceberg sprung from the waves and
frozen for a second. The highest point
was near the centre, and then at almost
regular intervals columns of water rose
at diminished heights. 1t was like q
picture from a magic lantern, white,
mountainous, cast against a clear blue
sky. A moment only and it stopped.
A few fitful upheavals followed, and
then a dense, permeating green eX-
tended from shore to shore where the
uplifted water had paused a moment
and then fallen back The report ac-
companying the upheaval was not
sharp; it was dull and heavy, as if a
Titan's hammer had smitten a noun
tain and Jared it to it's foundations.
Those standing on the wall at the
Southern front of Wards Island felt as
if a heavy upward blow had struck
the rocky foundations under them and
a slightly billowy sensation followed,
as if of a gentle and gradual uplifting
1t was no sooner felt than it was gone
General Newton's daughter, Mary,
who nine years ago, with the touch of
her baby fingers, destroyed Hallet's
Reef, pressed the key which fired the
mine. Two hundred and eighty five
thousand pounds of dynamite and
rack a-rock were exploded and nine
acres of rock were broken into small
pieces. The last great obstruction to
the free navigation of He'll Gate was
removed, and labor, skill and science
triumphed over the distractions of
Nature There was no accident of any
kind, and the result was most satisfac-
tory in every respect.

Fruit has been kept in perfect CON
dition by simply covering the jars with
cotton batting. Putrefaction is caused
by the invisible creatures in the air.
Cooking the fruit expels these, and as
they cannot pass through cotton bat
ting, the fruit thus protected will keep
an indefinite period. Tyndall has
proved that atmospheric germs cannot
pass through layer of cotton.
