CAPE MAY COUNTY.

CAPE MAY COUNTY.
Adjoining Cumberland and Atlantic
counties, and in the extreme portion
of New Jersey, lies the happy land of
Cape May. The county, compared
with other counties of the State, is
small, its eastern coast being deeply
indented by bays, inlets and sounds,
forming a complete network ; outside
of these are long, narrow islands.
These islands or beaches are being
rapidly settled and built up, and will
soon form continuous line of Sum
mer resorts from Cape May City to
Sandy Hook. The western coast or
Bay shore is more regular, being little
indented except by small creeks,
among which the most important are
East and West Dennis, Goshen, Dias
and Fishing creeks. These make an
easy communication with the bay and
ocean, along whose shores many peo-
pie find employment. in the carrying
trade, fishing and oystering.
The fishing and oystering business
of Cape May is 20 mean business, it
furnishing to the neigha1sdng counties
and cities, not too far removed, a
neverending supply of excellent CLAIMS,
oysters and fish. Indeed, Cape May
has been long famed for the abun-
dance and quality of its CLAIMS, oysters
and fish, especially its blue-fsh, which.
when fresh and well-prepared, make a
tempting dish, fit for a king. There
are two main and well-kept roads in
the county, the Seaside and the Bay
shore roads, each of which extends
from the upper end of the county to
Cape May City. lying at the southern
point. These roads are dotted with
villages throughout their whole extent,
the land lying between being largely
wood land, from whose swamps come
the famous Cape May cedars. The
meadows, too, produce an abun-
dance of salt hay, which is an impor-
tant staple.
The w. j. r. r. runs near, and
nearly parallel to the Seaside road, 1t
affords means of exporting the produce
of the county, and communication
with the outside world.
A great deal of the soil of Cape May
is light and we'll suited to trucking,
business that is much engaged in by
a number of the people, and it is sup
posed by some that in few years the
whole of the tillable land will be taken
up by truckers, who will find ready
sale for their products at the numerous
resorts on the coast. The people are
social, intelligent and hosptable,
ready at any time to take day for
pleasuring, and many are the sailing
and beach parties, the trips in the
sounds, and excursions down the bay,
in which they participate during the
Summer.
Of Cape May City | have little to
say, its attractions as a watering place,
and especially its beach, which is un-
surpassed for bathing along the whole
New Jersey coast, are already widely
known.
Many a sailor boy and wanderer in
distant lands, and many who have left
the home-place and taken up their
abode in less distant places, as well as
many tired with the cares and respon-
sibilities, the troubles and veXations of
this busy world, turn with loving
thoughts and fond remembrances to
the delights and pleasures, the good
cheer and comforts of Old Cape May.
Long may she prosper

.HIT HIM AGAIN,

II what a man says about
question OF right and wrong is in
dicative Of his "true inwardness, ,"
some friend Of the Indian and
common fairness, who signs him
self "Justice" under an article
published in the Arkansas Travel
er, surely "speaks from the album
dance Of his heart" With a COW
boy horsemanship he straddles the
editor Of that paper, and, despite
his bucking about Indian lands,
rides him lordly and fairly. "Ey-
cry act Of congress organizing a
territory of the United States re-
serves 10 that body the primary
disposal Of the soil" So says the
Traveller. The Indian Territory is
not an organized territory Of the
United States, and the primary
disposal Of the soil has been parted
with by the treaty-making power Of
that government, and the title now
rests in the tribes that occupy it.
There was a time when the relative
positions now occupied by the In
dams and the people of the United
States were different, and by rea-
son Of that dinereuce the Indian
nations were considered important
enough to be secured as allies by
treaty siipulations, and for the pur-
poses of trade and intercourse.
Things are now changed. Defense
lcssncss has taken the place Of that
power Of resistance that inspired
respect for them and made them iii
mbjocis Of treaty considerations.
Read what "Justice" says:
The nllacy Of this argument is
shown Ia the fact that the people
living Ia the territories are Of kin
dred race with those living ia Tie
tlales' each territory has It's repre-,
sentative ln congress, and if full
polll|esl rights are not accorded

them by the laws enacted by that
body, they have q means Of right
ing the wrong inflicted on them
provided in the constitution. But
the Indian tribes arc different
race; they arc endued with no
political rights; and during the time
when they were regarded as a
trcaiy-making people, the govern
mrnt and the American nation evil
IDENTIFY held them to be a sovereign
power. Our ancestors found them
in possession of the soil, and in
order to gain q foot-hold they re-
sorted to ono Of two ways-aggrcs-
sive war or purchase. But the first
means was condemned 10y the NOR
ality of the age thatwitncsscd il as
land piracy-the strong prcying

BILE mode of purchase was then re-
sorted to. l say "cqitable, "
although this is not n correct term,
because history shows that in
numerous instances the superior
address of the paleface was used TO
cajole the aborigincs out of their
possessions; the price paid for large
tracts ofland being frivolous com
pared with the value OF the proper
ty acquired But, however dis
honest the bargain, the purchase
was made, and this method being
free from the stain of rapine and
conquest, it was approved by the
sentiment OF the age, and the title
thus acquired has been held good
I'm law.
