AN IDLE DAY.
Barely Quorum Present, and Therefore
Many Bills Were Killed.


Many Bills Were Killed.
Especial to the Jersey City Ne,es.l
TRENTON, March %, 1889. Not very
much work was done in the House today.
One quarter of the members did not re-
spond to their names at all, and those who
did soon began dropping away in hurry
to catch trains. The slightest opposition
killed bill, therefore no one was anxious
to have his pet measures called up.
In the beginning the Republicans showed
a disposition to cause delay. One after
the other arose and inquired after some
bill which had been sent to the engrossing
clerk. The truth of the matter seems to
be that so many bills were ready to be en-
crossed that the clerk had more work
than he could attend to. The result was
Engrossing Clerk. The many questions
fired at the Speaker by the Republicans
reminded Mr. Feeney of one of his bills.
1t proposes to make base ball playing on
Sunday lawful. Mr.. Feeney learned that
the bill was safe in the hands of the Com
mittee on Miscellaneous Business. The
prospect is that boys will be obliged to
continue to break the law.
The bill providing a salary for the State
Prison chaplain met its fate today through
the small attendance of members. There
has been opposition to it all along on ac-
count of religious prejudices and appre-
tensions, and three members obstinately
refused to vote for it, As there was a bare
quorum present at the time, the thirty one
Votes needed to pass it could not be OBJ
tanned.
Feeney's hill enabling Police Captain
Edmondson to be retired on pension was
passed. Speaker Hudspeth retired from the
chair and installed Feeney in his place
when the bill making. the term of the City
Attorney of Jersey City three years came
up. Mr.. Marsh explained that no def
mite term was now fixed, and spoke of the
Injustice of asking lawyer to give up
practice to accept the Office without know
ing how long he was to remain in it. An
other reason for supporting the bill was
that it would protect the city from the
danger of suffering in law suits through
frequent change of management. The
bill was passed, Harris, Of Camden, alone
voting against It.
Faganss bill providing for an Alderman
at-I4arge came very near death. A New
ark member asked that it lie over, but

For Insulting Little Girls.

Frank Godfrey, twenty nine years of
age, and living at No. so Larch street, was
arrested last night for insulting little
girls. The children were playing among
the beams of an unfinished house. A
complaint was made to the police and
Godfrey was lodged in the Third precinct
station house. When arrested he swore
that the girls must have made mistake.
Captain Newton placed him among a
number of policemen in plain clothes He
was picked out of the group by Jennie
Davis, of No 10 Elliott place, and by
Mamie Platter and Flossie Karge.

The Freeholders' Bill Not Lawful.

An impression prevails throughout the
county that the Freeholders' bill, which
passed the House yesterday, had gone to
the Governor for concurrence, and that
there will consequently be no election for
freeholders this spring.
The bill is a House bill and has not yet
been passed by the Senate.
1t will, however, go through the Senate
next week.
1t provides for the election of one Free
holder in each district at the next General
Election, and its effect will be to keep the
present Freeholders in office till next fall.

The Spirit of America.

The American love of bombast has
made way for the American love Of
''smartness. Fourth Of July frecrackers
have outlived the pyrotechnics of Fourth
of July orations. We still praise our
selves freely, as our ancestors did, but
we do so with less 'tfuss and feathers. "
At the bar a similar change may be OBJ
served. It is harder than it used to be
to ''enthuse" juries-to borrow word
which, like "hifalutin,' seems to iA1ply
that what was once sublime has beconel
ridiculous. Lawyers talk to twelve men
instead of addressing the panel" Rufus
Choate, were he to come to life again,
would find it difficult to win such cases
as he did win, unless he kept his imagi
nation in leash, shortened and simpli-
fled his periods and made his delivery
more conversational. Even in orations.
on memorial days, or at college festivals,
colloquial English is heard; and the
essays spoken at college commencements
are ceasing to be fmere emptiness" In
the northern, and especially the north
western states the taste for colloquial,
rather than oratorical English is, for
obvious reasons, stronger than in the
south and extreme west; but it is show
ing itself in all parts Of the country. It
is taste that should be encouraged by
all who prefer the simple to the ornate,
the natural to the artificial, the sensible
to the sonorous. us.-Harpers Magazine.

The Antipyrin Habit.

The new coal tar product antipyrin has
already started vice of its own. This
singular compound was discovered by q
German chemist, and on account of it's
remarkable qualities is now used the
world over. 1t has the power of reduc-
ing the temperature of the body by
several degrees, and so is Of vast utility
in treating fevers and feverisR stages of
many diseases. 1t does its work by de
pressing the action Of the heart, and
generally when employed by physicians
it is accompanied with digitalis to neu-
tralize its influence in the latter regard.
Women use it partly because it is q seda-
tive and partly because it makes the COM
plexion beautifully clear and pale by
keeping the blood away from the sur
face OF the body. The habit, like all
others, grows upon the person who prac-
tices it. 1t does harm, however, from
the first. With women who are weak it
increases their weakness; with those hav-
ing predisposition towards heart dis
ease of any sort it increases the tend
ency to q terrible extent. Besides these
results antipyrin exerts q peculiar in
huence upon the blood, which is not vet
thoroughly understood by the faculty.
1t seems to undergo some decomposition
or breaking down VIII n absorbed by the
system, developing unknown compounds,
which either attack the blood itself or
else powerfully influence the nerves and
ganglia, which control the vital func-
tions. Richmond Despatch.

with q sudden chill, which sets them to
shivering all over. They get in the chair
and turn on the natural gas to make as
much heat as possible. Why, I've even
had to put blankets around my patients
to keep them comfortable on warm
day. Others are thrown into feverish
state, and the perspiration breaks out
the minute they sit down. Then of
course have to shut off the fire.
t'But the strangest thing about both
classes of patients is that their chilliness
on feverishness leaves them immediately
after they quit the chair. It is nervous
ness and dread that cause these remark
able physical effects, I suppose. But it's
about as hard on me as it is on them, for
the unevenness of temperature in the
operating room, which must perforce
endure, keeps me suffering from cold,

The Judge Had the Call.

heard a good story about the late
Judge Grosvenor, Of Dunkirk, who was
the local attorney for the Dunkirk and
Warren railroad, and at one time had a
COW killed by locomotive Of the road.
He presented a claim of $25 to tho proper
officer Of the road, who, following the
ordinary custom, had it referred to the
judge, as attorney, to give an opinion as
to the liability of the road. The Judge
had the facts set forth and wrote an
elaborate opinion, holding that the road
was not liable in the case, as the killing
OF the COW occurred by reason of the
plaintiffs negligence, and cited numer
GUS authorities to sustain his position.
The claim was consequently disallowod.
but the judges bill of $50 for an opinion
''in the case Of Grosvenor against the
Dunkirk and Warren railroad" was pre-
sented to the proper authorities, and in
due time lie received a check for that
amount Albany Argus.

wine cellars and wine In Cali !
fornia today, but the price paid for Cali
fornia Wire is unremunerative. 1t is a
price besow the actual cost Of production,
and, therefore, rate at which the inter-
est csnnot live another yer. The orchard
industry is similarly meaaced.
Now it should be understood that these
Interests do not suffer alone. The price Of
every acre of real estate within the Dor
ders of California is to be affected by the
subsistence of these great interests. Every
acre, whether cultivated to orchard and
vineyard or rot, has borrowed some value
from the prospective use of land in these
more profitable and higher uses 1t fol-
lows inevitably that the failure of these
industries to realize expectation means a
heavy reduction on the values of real
property, and with the reduction on the
value of the agricultural lands of the State
there is to be corresponding reduction on
the values of city property. Thus every
dollars worth of realty in California is to
be influenced by the failure Of the fruit
and grape industries
This is by no means the first time the
RECoRD-UNIoN has called attention to
this situation, and the remedy is not far to
seek. Had the bill appropriating S25O,0O0
to make an exhibit of the fruit and wine
industries Of California in the market of
the world, in London, been passed, the
eventual results would have conferred
value upon every dollar invested in real
estate. The Paris Exhibition has depleted
US, as the London Exhibition would have
enriched us.
The terms of the situation are exceed
ingly simple. We have capacity for the
production of fruits and wines far in ex-
cess of any market which can be found in
our own country. The discovery of mar
ket for our products Is the one single
problem upon the solution of which de-
ponds the entire future of this State. II
was matter of the broadest State con-
Germ that an effort at least should have
been made to find this market. The
Legislature which refused $250,000 to this
philosophical undertaking spent s., 0OO,-
900 fruitlessly, extravagantly, even vii
lainously, by baubles in the way of branch
insane asylums where none are needed,
reform schools located at ridiculously re-
mote places, and private indemnity bills
even less reputable than grand larceny.
But even this extravaganza, inexcusable
! as it is, is less criminal than the utter
want of craftsmanship, which was too
stupid to recognize the value Of the sug-
gestion, or too venal to accord it due con-
| sideration, and the condition of the field
industries Of California to-day fully illus
trates the great truth that no people can
be prosperous under venaI misrule.
We extend to Mr.. De Young our warm
est thanks for the outspoken, manly testi-
mony he has borne, and more particularly
| are we grateful, since his testimony fully
vindicates every prediction made by this
paper, when the subject of Paris and Lon
don Exhibitions were under consideration.
