Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, recog-
nized as the most famous of all the great
New Jersey seashore resorts. have mani
fold attractions for oil persons that ap-
prec.ate a sojourn by the ocean. The
world at large contributes people that are
patrons OF these resorts and among them
are many that are distinguished In the
various walks Of life. The hotel. cottages,
style that pervades Asbury Park each re-
curing summer Is something startling
and must be seen by personal observation

tages are hlled. the fine driveways are gay
with fashionable equlpages and the m,i-
sic Of manifold bands and orchestras
throws its resonant echo over the entire
scene. At night the flicker Of electric
lights seems to be almost In competition
with the stars, for II must be remembered
that Asbury Park is a city of advancement
and has all the modern improvements
born Of enterprise. The private life In cot
tages Is I'm strange comparison with the
fashionable round Of hotel gayety that at.

hotels. Asbury Park with all the hustle
that keeps visitors on the Qul-vive, has
no disorder. for the stringent local laws

Williams was successful. but at the
time OF his victory he was in this
country. and hence was unable to be
placed in the bardic chair by the cere-
mony which is attached to this action.
Ceremony OF the Chairing.
Because of his presence in this coun-
try the Welsh literateurs of this section
resolved 10 perform the ceremony
| which characteriZes the seating of the
chair bard The event transpired last
| night in the Tabernacle church and
| was witnessed by numbers OF West
Side residents.
The ceremony Of "chairing" the sue
! cessful poet was taken part in by the
| following gentlemen: Arch Druid D. j.
Evans. of Scranton assisted by the
Rev. T. c. Edwards. d. D. Of Kings
ton: Rev. D. p. Jones and Rev. D. C.
Phillips, of Scranton: and Ivor Cynidr
Parry, of Kingston; John H. Powell.
NEhedydd Cynor." Mrs. George W.
Powell. dMorfudD; David Jones. of
Bellevue: Thomas Jehu. of Providence,
and several others from distant parts.
The seating of the bard is very beau
tiful. His fellow poets are seated in a
semi-circle on the platform. The ad-
INDICATORS, three in number, declare
who the successful competitor is, and
then the archLDruid selects two Of the
poets from the circle to bring forward
the successful bard to his presence on
the platform. He then commands the
poet to be seated in a magnificent oak
chair manufactured for this purpose.
Then the poet is commanded to rise
and tlae arch-Druid unsheathes his
sword over the poets head, an In
three times in succession 'if peace
reigns supreme"
The multitude answers In the af-
firmative and the arch-Druid declares
him the poet-laureate Of his nation for
one year and one day. Following this
imposing ceremony each in turn con-
gratulate the victor poet in impromptu
verses.

This ceremony was performed last
night by the gentlemen named above
and Mr. Williams. after he had been
formerly installed rs the nations poet.
thanked his American fellow poets for
their attention to him and in closing
he recited portion Of his prize poem.
The impromptu stanzas Of the bards
on the platform were given In a metre
peculiar to the twenty-four metres of
Welsh poetry. Mrs W. George Pow
ellis contribution was In English and Is
given in full:
All nall! lnOu DdTu maSeStc.
We give thee greeting here.
Thy muse 1t is artistic,
Though often quite eccentric,
1t falls upon the ear.
Thy fame Is transatlantic,
They name to many dear,
Thy memory historic,
Thy voice It Is harmonic.
Thy pleading brings a teafr.
Thy heart with love o'erfiowing,
For Him who rules above.
Thy influence bestowng,
Thy face with radiance glowing.
While telling Of His love.
Thou art by natures fiat
A bard of high degree.
Gentle. sedate. and quiet.
Delighting not in riot.
But from all malice free.
In magestry march forward:
Nor let thy musing cease.
But ever pressing onward,
With faith still looking Homeward.
Where thou shalt rest In peace.

IL does not seem probable that the pres
idont will recommend any revision of the
tariff as a means for getting more money
with which 10 run tfle government. Post
master General Wilson, who is a member
OF Mr.. Cleveland's political family, has
been interviewed and he predicts that the
revenues from customs and internal taxa
ton will soon be enough to make UP any
deficit that may exist and probably furnish
a surplus.
Mr.. Wilson is the person who told the
English people 10 look out for their mar
kets after the Democratic tariff went into
effect. and possibly yet has faith in its
workings Better results must be shown,
however. for the deficit for July and Au-
gust will approximate 81. oO0.0 900 and the
gain In the future must be very large to
make up for the extraordinary losses Of
the past.
The postmaster general attributes the
poor treasury showing to the falling off In
internal revenue receipts. from which
source large income can be expected in
the future Exactly why he should count
on this is difficult to understand, for so
much whisky was taken out OF bond prior
10 the Wllson-Gorman law going into eff
feet that II is not wise 10 count on a very
great increase from this generally relia-
bic source OF revenue
The administration counts on the return
of prosperity adding very materially to
the customs receipts. Foreign adv.ces re-
port foreign Manufacturers very busy get
ting ready to ship goods 70 America so
IL looks as though The prosperity will be
abroad. not here As foreign goods roll
in American producers must be subjected
TO sharper competition which VIII proha-
lily result in a reduced production here
and consequently a loss t. labor II may
temporarily add 70 the customs receipts
but K cannot mean substantial and per-
manent prosperity for the country at
large.

ling act expressed II. was intended 10 mean
all who would be entitled TO the franchise
after the state was admitted.
The court has held this contention to be
unwarraated. So long as Utah is 4 terri
tory, the territorial laws relating TO cleo
tons are in force The enabling act did
not specifically extend the franchise 20
women. and therefore qualified voters UNI
der both that act and existing territorial
laws could be males only.
This seems TO be the common sense view
OF the question. Congress would not De
likely 20 extend the franchise 10 those VINO
were excluded by territorial laws. II the
constitutional convention saw 1T 10 sub
nit the question OF an enlarged franchise
90 the people, well and good: but II would
be contrary to ali precedent ana practice
TO allow those who are seeking enfran-
chiser1ent 20 vote upon the question. II
both political parties favor woman suf-
frage, and the constitutional convention
was largely In favor OF IL, IL would seem
that fuss is being made over nothing. II
seems probable that the constitution will
be adopted. whether women vote or not,
and, as the majority appears TO be in favor
OF allowing women the ballot, 1t would
seem that no great hardship Will be
worked by withholding the franchise till
the proclamation of admittance has been
issued from Washington City.

The most interesting fact pointed to by
the tables is that Russia has become the
greatest wheat-producer in the world. The
wheat land available in Siberia is almost
unlimited. and the production OF wheat In
Russia must increase every succeeding
year for probably decade. The decreased
product OF the United States is due to de-
creased acreage. There will be a still
smaller area planted TO wheat next year.
Even in Washington the farmers are be-
ginning TO lose faith in wheat alone. In
Argentine there was partial crop failure.
II might have been supposed that Africa
would show a large increase of produc-
ton. for there is much land in the dark
continent on which wheat can be grown.
The price OF wheat is falling. on news
of the immense crop In Russia and the
large crop in the world as a whole. 1t was
the partial crop failure in Argentine and
the r-ducsd acreage in the United States
that sent tho price up several months ago.
