In politics probable dry season makes Ramapo

defy Providence and civic law and steal in the
presence Of refreshing and abundant rain Intimi-

as among the populace City officials frequently
declare themselves powerless to suppress certain
Would-be reformer. Resorts of vice and moral de-
struction have been too long winked at by men
supported out Of the public funds, while honest
men and pure women are compelled by law to pay
taxes for the salaries of whose duty II Is to
restrain the lawess and punish crime. Our city Is
cursed with incompetency and fraud in the ranks
Of its officials. They give an evil report Of some
doings in the metropolis and too weak or too
cowardy TO Danish the crime, although they know
TO the achievement of victory.
Why are the loyal citizens OF this prosperous CITY
annoyed and grieved by the fostering iniuuites OF
Coney Island? few raids and arrests may mean
something, but that is insufficient; the municipal
authorities should drive all these buyers and sellers
Of honor and virtue into safe keeping and free us
from that modern Sodom by the sea. "The Brook

Gently called the attention Of the public to that
cancer on our body polite for which they receive
the grateful commendation of multtudes of inter-

yesterday, and everybody seemed to have good
time although all fake shows and swindling games
of every kind as well immoral exhibitions were
not doing business.
In the dance halls the girls obliged to wear
long dresses and sandwiches Of an eatable variety
had to be served with the beer in order TO make
a semblsnce at least Of compliance with the provi-

POLITICS IN CAPE MAY COUNTY

PROBABILITY THAT THERE WILL BE TWO RE-
PUBLICAN CANDIDATES IN THE CONVENTION.
Cape May, N. j.. July % (speciaD.-Much interest
is beIng manifested in Cape May County over the
coming State Senatorial contest. On the Repub-
Ecan side 1t is expected that there will be some
opposition to the nomination of Assemblyman
Marshall for Senator Mr.. Marshall some time
ago announced his candidacy. and, as it has been
the custom here to give the Assemblyman the Sen
atorial nomination, It has been generally supposed
that 1t would go to Marshall. But the friends Of
Senator Hand are thinking seriously of running
him again, and he may also be candidate al
though II is not yet announced by himself. Three
years ago he the only Republican elected to
the Senate in the State. and his plurality in the
county only 205, while the rest of the county
ticket went through with 700 plurality. 1t is ex-
pected that the contest for the nomination the
Republican side will be bitter one and that
end the party will be united
The only candidate for the Senate on the Demo-
cratic side is former Senator Lemuel E. Miller,
who has been shaping up his canvass for more than
year. Since he was in the Senate Mr.. Miller has
been successful in business in Mexico. AS to the
nomination for Assemblyman neither Democrats
