HIGH TIDES prevailed last week all
along the coast, though no storm was
on the land, and much damage was
done. This was particularly so at
Ocean Grove, Long Branch and Atlantic
City, where the continued high tides
cut into the banks severely. 1t proves
to have been the result of a hurricane,

ATLANTA seems 20 be the place to go
TO: not only for wedding tours, and
Editorial Associations, but many pri-
yate parties and Governors suites.
The latter from this State headed by
Acting Governor Watson though
spoken Of as a success, seems 70 be a
subject of criticism. At least the
Dover Lader thinks the choice Of Will
ian Michael Byrne by the Governor as
orator of the day peculiarly inappro-
pirate. The EUery EeUening comes to
the defence of Mr.. Byrne, from the
charge of the IndeI that on former
visit he had incidently looked up some
Georgian history as a precedent on the
constitutionality of the Governor vot-
ing in the Joint Assembly, in compare
son with Mr.. Watson's action last May.
Eueyy EUening thinks this fact as well
As that he is a Republican and a part
ner of f. G.. Bradford could not posi-
bly, be construed into any personal
offence TO the Governor.
