IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.


The joint Republican Legislative
caucus on Wednesday last took import
ant action with regard to partisan legis-
lation, and laws for the protection of the
ballot and the jury. 1t was decided
unanimously to take the appointments
of Riparian Commissioners, the Sinking
Fund Commissioners, the Chief of the
Labor Bureau, the Trustees of the
School for Deaf Mutes, and the Fish
Wardens out of the hands of the Cover
nor and place them in joint sessions of
the Legislature.
Bills will be drawn by the joint poll
teal committee to accomplish the
desired changes in the laws. The COM
missions and boards are to be made nor.
partisan; that Is, Republicans and
Democrats will be represented equally
upon them. The action of the caucus
insures the passage of the measures as
soon as they have been introduced.
The Republicans also agreed to make
caucus measures of the Jury Commission
bill and the three election bills intro
duced by Speaker Dickinson. The
Jury Commission bill has not been
drawn yet, but it will be in form very
ike une measure OeIeuUeQ last year. III
will provide that all grand and petit
jurors shall be drawn by the Circuit
Court Judges instead of by the Sheriffs
The three election bills of Speaker
Dickinson are now in the House Com
mittees. The first one provides that
aldermen of common councils in cities
shall appoint two persons to be super
visors of elections, neither to be of the
same political faith, and that they shall,
with a clerk, constitute the board OF
elections in such city. The board shall
appoint two canvassers of elections, one
from each party from each ward. The
board shall also appoint poll clerks and
all other officers of election.
The second bill is the "sunset law
and provides that the polls shall open
at am. and close at sunset. The third
is the Personal Registration bill. II
provides that boards of registration
must have each person appear before
them to be registered. Nonames are to
be struck off unless affidavits are filed
that notice has been served on a person
whose name is to be struck off. Persons
moving must take certificates from their
old registration places before they can
register in the new places. The three
bills completely change the election
laws of the state.

An amendment to the Constitution of
the United States will soon be reported
to the House changing the time of the
annual meeting of Congress to the first
Monday in January, and making each
Congress expire on December 81 instead
of March A. This change, the Philadel.
phia "Press' well observes, has so much
to commend it that there ought to be no
doubt of its adoption. The December
session of Congress is practically wasted
time, and might as well be abolished
but the great merit of the amendment is
that it will convene each Congress with
in two months of its election instead Of
thirteen months as now, and prevent the
old Congress from legislating after the
people have chosen new one The
present method by which each Congress
holds three months session after many
of its members have been refused re-
election, and have, therefore, no sense
of responsibility to their constituents, is
most pernicious one. A better scheme
to promote vicious legislation and ex.
travagant expenditure could not be de-
yised, and the country has enough
evidence of this to desire a change.

IRREPRESSIBLE DEMOCRATIC CON.
FLICTS.

The Republican is very blind or duii
who cannot see that his party is about to
enter on new career, by virtue OF its in.
herent strength from the magn ificent re-
suits of its now dominant principle and
policy of Protection and by reason of the
ignorant rashness of Mr. . Cleveland in
making his reelection depend on the tri.
umph of Free Trade. The Democratic
cities of the North have become hives of
manufacturing industry, and armies of
Democratic laborers are only waiting eff
ficient leadership TO come out for the par
ty that protects them against foreign pau
per labor The Democracy of the South
is fast dividing on Mr.. Cleveland's new
issue and intelligent aud enterprising
Southern men are seeing the facts aud
the irresistible logic OF such Southern
Democratic advocates of the Republican
system of Protection as the Atlanta Con-
stitation, which, last Thursday, stated
the changed Southern situation in the
fewest and truest words, when it said that
"under the system Of slavery, it was ma
tural that the South should be in favor of
Free Trade; but all the conditions have
changed. The big plantations have been
for the most part cut up into small farms,
and the great need of the small farmer,
as well as the large farmer, is u home
market where the diversified products of
the farm may be sold for cash as readily
as the cotton crop.
So our able Democratic contemporary,
the Albany Times, warns the supporters
of Mr.. Cleveland, that she has unques.
tionably done a great oeal by his message
on the Tariff to split up into antagonistic
factions those business mems and work
ingmen's clubs which capvassed and pa.
raded for him, independent of IA Tariff is
sue, three and half years ago"
These are specimen utterances of Dom
ocratic discomfort with the ugly situation
10 which Mr.. Cleveland's Free Trade Mes
sage has landed his party. They plainly
disclose the actual condition of party
hopelessly divided on the one issue that
it had been shrewdly lodging since the
war. No diplomacy can close the widen
ing breach in the party. The New
South" sees that il needs Protection
hundred times more than New England
does. All intelligent Southern sentiment
except that controlled by the "Whiskey
Rings in deadly hostility to internal
taxes, and If those taxes are repealed the
whole foundation of Mr.. Cleveland's
vague, clumsy and wild campaign against
Protection will be removed and he will
find himself Sin the ARA novel and
awkward situation for so vast mass of
stolidity. IN. Y. Mail and Cypress

A large number of people in Salem and
Cumberland counties have been swindled
by bogus opticians, who claim to be Phil
adelphians. They represented themselves
to be experts They have examined a
number of people and sold them spectacles
at enormous figures, ranging from $25 to
$40 They have fraudulently used the
names of reputable physicians to secure
introductions. In many places the swind
lers have represented themselves to be
professors from the German Hospital,
Philadelphia. Lambert Newkirk, of Ham,
merville, allowed them to operate on Mrs.
Newkirk's eyes and they charged him
$50. They have permanently injured her
eyes and fears are entertained that she
may go blind. The swindlers have found
many dupes at Lower Alloway. The
spectacles they sell are found to be worth
less.

ton to the drawn battle between Gov
ernor Hill and President Cleveland for
the control of the Democratic State Com
mittee 'These are stern facts, says
the brave and honest Times, land it
would be foolish to smother them.

burst forth into an uncomfortable con-
fagration at critical time and when
the disaster would be irreparable.'

The inventor of the Maxim automatic
gun some few weeks ago presented the
Navy Department with two of the pieces
and desires to get the United States
Government to adopt the gun. A trial
was given the invention last week and
the results are all that is claimed 1t is
rapid firing, small. caliber weapon,
operating solely by the action OF the re-
coil. Its chief advantages are its small
weight aud its portability, the whole
gun in its box weighing less than seventy
pounds, the box being about six feet
long and one foot square The gun is
provided with water jacket around the
BARREL which prevents overheatlng.
Seven hundred shots minute can be
fred. The action is started by the
operator, who sits on saddle on the
rear leg of the tripod, pressing spring
in the breech, when the firing begins.
Tho feed is from belts, holding about
one hundred shots each, which are con-
tanned in box fitting under the middle
of the gun. Sighting is done by means
OF pair Of handles at the breech, and
the gun, being so light, can be ready
moved so as to operate in any direction.

About 4, 700 Saloons In Philadelphia Likely

About 1000 Saloons In Philadelphia Likely
to Be Closed by the New License Law.
During the ncxt two weeks it is proba-
BILE that the filing OF liquor licenses in the
Court of Quarter Sessions will be greatly
accelerated by the fact that the limitation
of time expires on February II. 1t is the
opinion of the beer brewers, who are di-
rectly interested in the matter, that the
total number of applications will hardly
exceed 2 900, while 1t is possible that the
licenses issued will be less than that fig
ure. But 1857 applications have been
filed. The high license fee has driven
hundreds of German saloon-1eepers out
of the business, and they will turn their
places into bakeries, meat shops and gro
Gerry stores. The chief trouble lies in the
difficulty of securing bondsmen, in conse-
quence of which rigid canvass is being
made by the Lager Beer Brewers Asso-
citation and kindred interests for property
holders who can qualify as bondsmen. In
some cases exchanges of property are
made by applicants, so that there can be
mutual extension of favor In the way of
requisite surety. Wholesale liquor deal
ers are already feeling the effects of the
Brooks bill, and some of them will lose
thousands of dollars in bad debts, besides
heavy decline in future trade. 1t is es-
timated that about a, 900 saloons now rum
ming will be closed by the operation of the
new law.
