viii Boom Ocean City.
4 NORTHERN SYNDICATE
NOW BEING ORGANIZED.
Two Large New Hotels Will BE
Erected, an Electric Railway
Run Along the Beach and
Numerous Improve
mentS Made.


Following the announcement Of
the important deal by which the Bal
timore IL Eastern Shore Railroa,i is
to be reorganized and consolidated
with the systems of the Maryland,
Eastern, Shore and Choptank Steam
boat Companies, comes news of de-
cided upward tendency in real estate
this side the bay, particularly along the
lines of the new system and at termi-
nal points. BY far the most impor-
tant feature of the boom is plan now
being carefully worked out by a
party of capitalists ami real estate
men for extensive improvements at
Ocean City, which when completed.
will cause that place To rival Atlantic
City, Cape May and other seaside re-
sorts. These plans contemplate the
erection Of two large hotels on Sine
puxent Beach, located some miles
apart, north and south Of the present
collection of hotels and cottages con-
stituting Ocean City proper: the con-
struction of an electric railway along
the beach, and the lighting with
electricity of the entire territory be-
tween and for considerable distance
upon either side of the two hotels.
Recently several prominent Balti-
more capitalists and representative
business men of the Eastern Shore
have been quietly looking over the
field and canvassing the possibilities
of Ocean City. There has been a
quiet inquiry and demand for building
lots, and options have been secured
upon considerable slices Of choice ter
ritory along the beach. Among those
who take deep interest in the matter
believing that there are wonderful
possibilities in the future for the
Eastern Shore and Ocean City, is
Mr.. John L. Searles, secretary of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
who organized the syndicate which is
10 reorganize the Baltimore d. Eastern
Shore Railroad.
The beach at Ocean City, for a
distance of from eight to ten miles, has
long been known as one OF the finest
in the country. not only for bathing
purposes, but as sportsman's paradise.
In this latter sense. more particularly
Sinepuxent Bay, lying back of the
ocean beach. and only separated from
the ocean by the narrow strip of land
which varies in width from couple
Of hundred yards to a half mile, is
popular. Sinepuxent Bay is beauti
full sheet of water. about forty miles in
length, and of irregular breadth, rang

miles, Of shallow depth, and for fishing,

Another step toward carrying out
the steamboat and Railroad consolida-
tion deal, in which John r. Searles,
y. u. Bond and others are interested
has been taken in the nited States
Circuit Court, Robert ID. Morrison be-
ing appointed a special master by
Judge Morris to sell the Baltimore Il
Eastern Shore Railroad, which has
been in the hands of receiver for sew
eral years.
1t is ordered in the decree that the
railroad company shall, within 10
days, pay to the Atlantic Trust Com
pany of New York. or to the clerk Of
the United States Circuit Court, the
sum of 81, ,79S, S27 .26 in gold for the
use of the holders OF the outstanding
bonds, with interest from the date Of
the decree. Unless this payment is
made within the time directed, the
mortgage on the road. dated July lst,
1890. and renewed July 18th, 1892,
will be foreclosed.
This will result in the sale Of the
road at public auction, without valua-
ton, at Salisbury Wicomico county, at
time to he fixed by Judge Morris.
In this event Mr.. Morrison is directed
to accept no bid under 100000 for
the property, and this must he accom-
panied by certified check for $780,
900, or the cash. Ii the balance is not
paid, in accordance with the order OF
the court, the $1,000 will he forfeited.
When the road is put up for sale, as
there is no doubt that it will he, the
syndicate will purchase it and proceed
with the consolidation scheme as hereto
fore outlined, 50 as to include the rail
road with the Maryland, Eastern Shore
and Choptank steamboat lines in one
large company.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
AND THE SENATE.

lAkiFF iegisiatioii,Which HAS ai"ays
been considered as the most important
work devolving upon the present ad-
minstration, is now as heretofore in a
most complicated predicament. This
in fact was the case at the convention
of the present session, and the solution
Of the tariff question has gradually be-
come more desperately uncertain day
by day ever since. The climax, we
believe however, has finely been reach
ed but not without shame TO men high
in political and official position. No
man should he sent to represent any
party in the Congress OF the United
States who has not honest convictions
of his own which accord with those OF
the people and the party he repre-
sents. Representatives should also
be willing and have the ability to
fight for those convictions whenever
opportunity or necessity requires it.
We would not be understood as saying
that such is not the case, but we fear
there is reason to doubt the sincerity
Of some who now occupy high posi-
tions in our National Legislature.
In the great conflict now existing be-
tween the upper House of Congress
and the President we are not inclined
to defend the course of either. We
feel constrained to say that President
Cleveland, although he doubtless act
ed conscientiously in writing the letter
which he did to Chairman Wilson of
the House, transcended his authority
and the scope of his position in so do
ing. We do not believe it comes
within the prerogative Of the Presi-
dent to dictate Legislation in Congress
any more than it does the Governor to
dictate TO a State Legislature, o.. the
Mayor To a City Council. Hence our
conviction that President Cleveland
did wrong in writing the letter which
has caused such furry in the Senate
and has almost il not certainly render
ed the passage and Of any tariff law by
the present Congress an impossibility.
This however, does not justify the
harsh language and vindictive censure
which have been brought down upon
the President and we hope that bet
ter counsel may prevail soon and
party representatives may get to-
gether in such a manner as To faithfully
carry out the democratic doctrine of
doing the most good to the most peo-
pie.
The situation now is that n great
war is being waged between the Presi-
dent and the Senate i'm which much
time and energy that should he con-
sumed in serving the people has been
expended in unreasonable and idle ora
tory. In word the President has
lambasted the recalcitrant Democrats
in the Senate because of their indispo-
sition TO surrender to the Wilson Bill
and these same Democrats have lam
basted the President in turn for his
accusing them of perfdy. What the
outcome will be is now hard to deter
mine, but the fact is the whole Amer
lean people are tired of waiting for
the tariff question TO be settled and
the sooner bill is passed and put in
force, the better it will be for the
Democratic party.

Rambler Bicycles are much i'm
proved this year and greatly reduced
in price. They are undoubtedly the
cheapest wheel i'll the world. They
will last for years and run easy all the
time, and cost little for repairs. The
past demonstrates these facts. Some
persons buy low grade wheels, but
don't YOU! it is great mistake.
They are in the repair shop much of
the time, cost as much, or more in the
end, than high grade wheel, run
hard all the time and soon wear out.
You will make no mistake If you
buy No. 1 Rambler at $1,000. 1t
is the cheapest wheel on earth.
Some makers put high grade price
on low grade wheels and give big
discount to make you think you are
getting great deal for your money.
Don't be deceived by this. Strictly
high grade wheels are not sold thai
way. HANDLERS are not the only high
grade wheels on the market, but they
are THE BEST.
