The inhabitants of this old time Whig, but now doubtful, county are a peculiar people. There are only 2,600 voters in Cape May county, but they are equally divided between the parties, and the county voted wet." The present Mayor is James Henry Edmunds, an ex storekeeper, insurance agent, owner of the Wave newspaper and now for a second time chosen as Democratic Mayor of Cape May city. Edmunds is a man of unquestioned ability, but a free lance in politics. In the race for Sen atorship some years since he managed the canvass for the Senator candidate, Furman L. Bichardson, now Sergeant at Arms of the Senate and a pronounced Sewelltte.

When in the lower house Richardson had offended a large and influential "guild" here, the pilots. They number, the pilots and their attaches, about 35 votes, and this influence knocked out Richardson for Senator by Just 85 votes. The successful candidate was Burr Miller, the strongest Democrat in the county. This contest led to a Democratic division in the county, and the war of the red rose and white rose. Miller vs.

Edmunds, then began and continues even up to this day. Edmunds, when last before the public, was indicted in Cape May for the alleged offering of a bribe of $500 to Councilman Stevens to vote to sell to a Philadelphia syndicate the Capo May Water Works, and it was charged that he told members of Councils that if they swered before the election.

I do not say that the retention of English when Americans are laid off is a general thing, but it often occurs. As far as the bricklayer's apprenticeship Is concerned, the union has acted wisely and well for all engaged In the business. The apprentice Is practically a ward of the union, who takes care that he receives bis wages regularly, with a very good advance each year. He must be put to work on all parts of the building, even on the front so that when his time expires be Is turned out a first class workman.

It also protects the employer from the old mode just about the time the apprentice was beginning to be of some profit to bis employerleaving him and getting work on other buildings as a half hand. Of course the number must he limited, but still be quite enough to keep up the supply equal to the demand. And here, again, is where tho English bricklayers step in and debar the American youth of the chance of learning a good trade, for when they first come here they are put on that work the apprentice would do, and till this is remedied the number of apprentices must bo limited. Now here Is the firoper place for legislation to step In and do tsduty. Nor is It be bricklayer alone who is cheated of his rights, but every branch of business and industry in the country, from the morning papers down to the milkman, who all pay their share of taxes to support the government and have a right to expect that the government will protect them In their honorable endeavors to make a livelihood.
