[.special to the Jersey ON Neaos.

lSpectCL TO the Jersey Caty NetcS.J
TRENTON, March 13, 1ss9.-Mr Feeney
spent the morning stirring up the Senate
Committee to either report or give hear
ng on the gas bill. Bogert and Pfeiffer
were willing to report, but Thompson,
who was chairman of the committee
which held the bill last year, is against it.
The committee will meet this afternoon,
when some decision viii be reached.
McDermit and Bigelow were absent this
morning, and without them neither the
Werts bill nor any other partisan legis-
lation can be passed. Colonel Heppen-
heiiner, Mr.. Feeney and other leaders are
sending dispatches to absent members,
calling them here this afternoon.
The following bills were favorably re-
ported:-Adding a member-at-large to
Jersey City boards; making the salary of
Oyerseers of the Poor in Jersey City and
Newark 81 900; making the term of city
counsels three years Farrell's BILL pre-
pared by labor organizations, to license
engineers. was debated. O'Neill, Farrell
and Feeney were in favor of the bill and
Pagan against it. The bill was lost by IA
to a.
y The Senate ordered to third reading
the redistricting bill and the repeater Of
the personal registration act. The new
ehartey bill is being amended now SO as to
provide for submitting it to vote of the
people. This would remove the objections
of the Newark members and improve its
chances in the Assembly. The amended
bill will probably pass to second reading
tomorrow, and be finally passed by the
Senate Monday.
It is reported today that O'Neill's reso-
1ution for Legislative investigation of Jer-
sey Clty's government, which was killed
yesterday, win be introduced In a new
form next week.

Albert Head of Iowa, introduced resolu-
tions setting forth that it was commonly
asserted and very generally accepted as
true that certain powerful trusts and COM
binations or corporations and individuals
had, contrary to public policy, combined
for the purpose of controlling the market
price for certain products; that State laws
are inadequate to wholly remedy the evils
complained of, and requesting Congresl
to pass law, with adequate penalties for
violation, prohibiting al combinations for
the purpose of regulating fixing or CON

or other productions of the country. After
long discussion the resolution was sent
to the Resolutions Committee on yea

eight votes in favor of immediate con-
sideration.
Resolutions were also offered and re-
ferred, memorializing Congress to make
such amendment to the inter State Com
merce law as shall punish with the utmost
rigor of the law all interference or dis
elimination by railroads in the transporta-
ton of beef or pork in any of its forms.

Bishop Ryan Does Not Favor Prohibition


PHILADELPHIA, March 13, 1SS9.-Arch-
bishop Ryan, in response to the request of
the editor of the Catholic Total Abstt-
nence Nelus for his views upon the sub
ject of the prohibition amendment, has
sent the following letter:
DEAR In reply to your question 1 beg to
state that l believe Constitutional amendments
to be extreme measures, which should be adopted
only in case of supreme necessity. l believe, as
far as l am capable OF forming judgment on the
subject that high license and other laws enacted
to preserve the people from intemperance, if
duly enforced, would be quite sufficient to attain
the desired end-that is, as far as mere legisa-
ton can attain it. More stringent laws could be
enacted if found necessary, without touching
the Constitution itself

Use Cotton Bagging.

Mr.. EDITOR: We do not consider the
so.called fight against the Jute Trust as
much fight as an effort to bring up the,
cotton industry to its proper standing.
As long as cotton sells for SC near the
actual cost Of production, bagging made
from the lower grades Of cotton is the
cheapest. Let's see. What do we pay
for bagging? Where does this pay stop?
Let's compare the figures of farmers
Son." The cotton market is controlled
by Liverpool, as ne all know. Say it
takes ~ lbs. of cotton to make 6 lbs.
bagging; this lower grade of cotton sells
for 9c.-674c. The farmer buys this at
:12sc. per yard. or pound-75c. It is
agreed that the tare be only the actual
weight of covering. Then, when the
cotton bagging only is used, the farmer
will be out l23c. for baling, and this to
home factories. If sold to home mills
again of S7ac. per bale. Jutel What
about it? Csc. lat present price, good deal
more last year, per bale. The whole
amount is lost in tare, and the money
some out of America, some to the facto.
ries, and a good part to the wicked op.
pressor. IfJute could be produced and
manufactured in the South, it would be
q practical bsling. Figures will show
that as long as cotton cells for less than
15c. per pound, it is to the interest of the
cotton farmer to use cotton bagging. AS
to the advance in price of cotton goods,
just compare the population of the world.
We Door farmers will never feel it.

heard lots of talk about the Alliance, but
you have never heard anything about the
merchants, especially about the drug
stores of this, our moral little dry town.
It can all be very we'll understood when
you think aboutit. The drug stores arc a
big help. You may want to know the rea-
son why. 1t is plain. Come to see us
some Saturday evening, and I will guar
antee you will see more drunken people
in one hour than you will see in your city

msy be talking too plain for some, but
lei that be as it may, know what am
talking about.
don't belong to che Alliance, but I am
going to join, and am going to Ander-
son to buy my goods in the future, and
advise every one else in and around Boil
ton TO do the same thing. It is an out
rage the way the merchants charge for
goods in our town, and attribute the
prices to the way Whiskey is sold. Peo-
pie get drunk and pay all sorts of prices
for goods.
We have three drug stores, and two Of
them sell whiskey Sunday and every
other day. There 10 one, however, that
don't, must say to the credit of the gen.
tlemen who run it, but there are two
