THE TWO HOUSES At ODDS IN NEW-JERSEY
BILL sMUGGLED THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY
WHICH THE SENATE REFUSED TO RETURN
Apnrr,r AGAIN A CANDIDATE

Trenton. N j. April IA bitter feeling pervades
the Assembly without much distinction as 10 party,
over the passage Of the Senate bill giving Fairoai
companies power TO condemn lands outside OF their
main tracks. II was pretty well settled last week
that the bill never received final consideration In the
House. yet IL was recorded passed and signed by
the Speaker The refusal OF the Senate TO return tho
hill after the House had discovered that It had been
sent ont was remarkable II not an unparalleled dis
courtesy and could only DO explained by presupposng
q willingness 70 profit by the fraudulent passage OF
the measure in the House. Members say now that
they do not intend to give Senate blis consideration
until there Is some sign Of repentance The Governor
will probably veto the blu which Is the source Oh
trouble and an effort will DO made 10 pass new one.
Tho object Is said to BIO 10 property in Eliza
beth and Newark desired by the railroads for depot
purposSs and various extensions and the privileges
conferred would be worth a good deal TO the com
NAMES There Is severe criticism upon the Speaker,
whose position and action have not yet been salts
faotory explained.
Tho passage Of the Jersey city Charter bill by che
Senate aud It's prompt approval by Che Governor VIII
enable the city tn vote upon It next Tuesday, ana
will probably DO adopted Tho condition Of the gov
eminent is so bad that he majority VIII welcome a
change for the sake Of change The fact that ofces
have been promised the Jersey City Assemblymen and
that the measure has been backed with great en-
thsasm by most Of thpse who are responsible Tor the
worst teAIQreS OF tno PRESCOTT BoNOt'iHAON' ""N@
suspicion II the system proposed was far better The
object has been TO give the Mayor pretty nearly
exclusive control, and II now Mayor wero
to be elected at once it would operate better out as
now arranged Mayor Cleveland win have tho disposl-
ton of nearly all tho places.
The political legislation is nearly finished and there
Is some slight hope that the Legislature may adjourn
this week Much depends upon the course OF the seh-
ate In reference to the House and II the former sue
goods In placatng tho latter, the end may DO reaeheo
by rushing business. There IS growing anxiety over
the fate OF the Ballot Reform bill In the Senate, where
the Democratic opposition IS less influenced by public
eentmcn4 The bill viii probably be called up early
this week and II IL were urgently demanded It might
be pushed through. Tho State financial difficulty VIII
probably b. left untouched. , 49,.
The municipal elections IN this city and Paterson
tomorrow win turn upon personal popularity TO
large extent and thore Is exciting contest here on
that account Politically mother election IS of mo-
ment The leading candidates are all reputable men.
Ex- Governor Albeit Is I'm the contest for another
election 10 tho Governors chair, with all his might
and main. His probable nomination was announced
two or three weeks ago, and last week he said he
would accept lie VIII be opposed secretly by Sen
ntor Mcpherson and number Of other Democrats and
some largo ntereSts IN the State besides, and the
struggle win not lack in public interest.
