Atlantic City.

One of the advantages of the cheap
and rapid locomotion of the present
day is that it gives so many the privi-
lege of visiting the numerous watering
places on the coast, to leave the swell
tering heat Of the city and the field for
the cooler temperature of the sea-shore
and breathe the invigorating organic
atmosphere that is waited in by the
breezes from the ocean. It is delight
full to rise with the lark and walk on
the beach and listen to the music Of
"the splashing waveso as they kiss the
shore an hour of such pleasant medi-
tatiye exercise gives one keen appetite
for his coffee and chop which the slum-
bering and unexercised person is a
stranger to.
The long and smooth sandy beach of
Atlantic City affords delightful OPP
portunity for such healthy exercise,
and for those who wish to bathe, or
take cruise in one of the numerous
pleasure boats, whose sails make them
look like white-winged things of life
scudding over the blue water, while
their living freights, free from the
cares and grinding tolls of life, are
happy as. they are ''rocked in the cradle
of the Deep" there are all the advan-
tages one can desire. In addition to
all this there are some admirable bands
Of music for those whose ears are at
tuned to enjoy the Concord of sweet
sounds.n

brief sojourn in this pleasant city OF
the sea, and wishes his neighbors could
all share in his pleasure. He finds

A Double Postal Card.

People who write postal cards that
require an answer are sometimes puz.
zled to know how they can renumerate
their correspondent for the cost of the
return card. The problem is about to
be solved by the Postofice Department.
Bids have just been received for fur
nishing what is known as the double
or return cards. These postal cards
are, as the name indicates, double
cards, which are connected by per-
forated strip easily torn. On one card
the message can be sent and on the
other the receiver can write his reply,
and detaching the postal from its mate,
return it though the mails. This
double card will be of a size between
the regular size and the large card, and
as one card folds back on the other
the double card takes up no more space
than the ordinary cards, although it is
of course thicker. It will cost 2 cents,
and when these card are placed on sale
it will be demonstrated whether there
is any great demand for them in this
country.

1.-THE reply of Mr.. Cleveland to the
ladies who proposed to organize
Frances Cleveland Influence Clubs in
aid of the cause of tariff reform,
may possibly at first have carried
disappointment to those engaged in
the movement says the Baltimore
Sun. "but they will all probably
acquiesce in his decision and cheerfhlly
indorse the propriety Of his views after
they have given the subject little
consideration. Mr.. Cleveland's answer
is not rebuke to the promoters of the
idea, but compliment to them and to
the whole female sex. He thinks, as
do the great majority of men, that the
shame Of wife and mother" is too
sacred to be used for the common pur-
poses of a political campaign. Old
fashioned in his sturdy and uncom-
promising demo cracy, in his notions of
right and wrong, of public duty and
official trust, he is old-fashioned, too,
in the honest reverence with which he
regards the purer sphere of home. To
him the words :" wife and mother y
have not the significance that belong
to them in the view of latter-day
social reformers. They mean to him,
as they have meant to thousands Of
true and loyal men before him, and as
they will mean, let us hope, to genera
tions yet unborn, the highest and
holiest Of earthly ties, the purest and
sweetest Of earthly recollections, the
deepest and most lasting of earthly
affections-all that is best in memory,
brightest in hope, strongest in inspira-
tion, the central sun from which the
heart draws light, comfort and happi-
ness. Naturally, old-fashioned men
like Mr. Cleveland cannot bear with
equanimity the thought that the name
that is dearest and sweetest to them,
and which represents to them that
which makes life worth living in its
best and highest sense, should be drag

THE Delaware fruit crop this year

shown that the fruit is Of a much
better quality when there is a fair

HOW 1T SHOULD BE DONE.
GOVERNOR REYNOLDS IDEA OF CON
QUOTING A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. s

The New York World on Tuesday
printed the following letter from Gov
ernor Robert j. Reynolds of Delaware,
together with one from Governor Peck
of Michigan, as to how, in their opin-
ions a political campaign should be
conducted. Governor Reynolds letter
follows
g I believe the campaign should be
conducted by an earnest appeal to the
voters of this great country to consider
the tariff issue and the Force bill.
This is country of equal opportun-
tiles, and its citizens love justice. free
dom and fair play. If they can be
got to seriously consider the vital issues
of this campaign I will trust their de-
cision at the ballot box. But such
considerations ca n only be secured by
thorough organization for the pur-
pose Of giving each and every voter an
opportunity to be informed upon these
issues. The means used must be the
press distribution of literature, discus
sions upon the stump. and especially By
personal appeals. Many men are either
SO busy or SO Indifferent that they can
only be induced to seriously consider
these questions by personal appeals.
For this reason I lay much stress upon
this means of enlightening the voters
and the necessity of organization in
every voting district to secure the
hearty cooperation of every Democrat
in the land. My experience is to dis
tribute the responsibility ofacampaign
among as many party friends as possi-
BILE. Let those who cannot write Oh
speak go out among their neighbors
and talk, and remember they can
always get closer to those who differ
with them right in their homes in the
midst Of their wives and children.
feel we cannot place too much impor-
tance upon this suggestion. Let every
Democrat be made to know and feel
his own Importance and the Importance
of the work to be done. Let him per-
suade at least one wavering neighbor
to vote with him, and by this means
victory is often won. Whenever you
can succeed in this line, whenever you
can interest the masses and get them
to feel that possibly their personal ap-
peals to their neighbors are necessary
to win, their victory is always won.
1t is the quiet still-hunter, after all,
that does the most effectual political
work, and he should be encouraged and
appreciated. Sincerely yours,
ROBERT j. REYNOLDS, Governor.
