Goxernor nill,s Veto.

At the close of the last session of the
Legislature, of the State of New York,
in May, 1889, there were 451 bills await
ing the action of the governor. These
bills were s,l passe amid the hurry
and confusion of the last ten days of
of the session. This procedure is with
out parallel in our history. The only
approach to it is to be found in the
carnival of fraud and infamy which
marked the era of what is known as
! the Tweed ring. Undoubtedly of
chief cause of the demoralization, the
to say degradation, which hasnot
late prevailed at Albany, is to be
found in the wholesale abuse of the
veto power, by both the present
governor and by his immediate prede-
cessor in office. The common senti-
ment regarding the passage OF every
measure, whether good, bad, or in
different, has Of late been-'Let it go
through, the governor is sure to veto
it.n OF the 451 bills referred to, 173
remained unsigned at the expiration
of 30 days from the date of the ad-
iournment. These fell to the ground
like so much waste paper. Further
more, in the annual supply bill, NJ
specific items were vetoed. Add to
these the So bills vetoed during the
session of the legislature, and we have
an aggregate of 513 measures which
have failed, during the year, to re-
ceive the governors approval. Col. H.

A NEWSPAPER REVOLUTION.


The New York Papers Preparing to Go
Back to Old Prices.
The New York Times inaugurated the
era of cheap morning newspapers when
it, without any premonition, one winter
morning somesye ago lowered its price
from four to two cents. There was an
immediate fail in prices all around. The
World, which had been a three cent
paper, came down to the two cent line.
The Herald fell from four to three cents
and then to two cents, but its price was,
on cablegram frofp James Gordon Ben
nett, advanced again to three cents about
year ago The Tribune made break,
but stolidly refused to fall below three
cents and there she has been ever since.
The newsdealers in this city have re-
ceived notice from the New York World
that on and after Monday next the price
of the paper will be advanced from two
to three cents to the reader, and that the
newsdealers will be expected to pay "a
cents per copy for it. Intimations have
been broadly made to the newsdealers that
the World is not alone in the movement,
but that on the same day the Times and
Sun will also become three-cent papers.
When the prices of the Sunday papers
were advanced from three to five cents a
few months ago it will be remembered
that all the papers were in the movement.
In anticipation of the increase, the
World is making preparations for much
larger display of local Jersey news than
that which has appeared in its columns
of late, and Colonel George B. nj. Har-
vey, the brilliant young journalist who
is at the head of the Jersey edition, has
been busy for week in reorganization
of its New Jersey staff. He has tempted
Aleck Mclean, the Trenton correspon-
dent of the Evening Journal for some
years past, away and will put him at the
editorial desk as his assistant during the
day. His night assistants will be Fred.
Whitman, who has been assisting Mr..
William A. Lackey in furnishing Jersey
City news to the paper. and Mr.. Du Monde.

1t is said that the San intends to make

Bureau draws were open, and their
contents strewn upon the floor. The
laboratory was equally disturbed. The
Doctor, while making these discoveries.
met no one and went to the third floor,
where Mrs. Kniffen's apartments were
located.
The first object he saw was
Miss Purcell. She was or the
floor unconscious. He could not
rouse her, and passing to another
room found the body of Mrs. Kniffen on
the bed, her features being very much
distorted.

three O'Clock she heard Mrs. Kniffen
scream burglars.
Miss Purcell sprang from the bed and
was seized by man who chloroformed
her and another did the same to Mrs.

amount taken is not yet known.
This is the second time that burglars
have robbed this house within short
time.
The police can not account for the man
ner the burglars gained access. for when
the house was examined it was locked.
There was chloroform in the labratory
that any one who was in the house could
have had access to.
The only mark of violence was on the
right hand Of Mrs. Knifin which had
been squeezed.
augustus A. Reed says. however, that
the house was unlocked.

The North Bergen authorities are in

will do duty at the Gutenberg track
commencing on Monday next There is
pretty good story connected with the
putting on of the constables.
One day last week ten constables met
secretly at the North Bergen Town Hall
and held whispered consultation. The
utmost secrecy prevailed. but it soon be-
came bruited about that a big raid was
contemplated, and that all the bookmak-
ers and attaches of the track would be
arrested and lodged in the Town Hall.
Several of the track officials heard of
the contemplated raid and an emissary
was sent with flag. of truce.
The ambassador stated that all of the
North Bergen authorities would be al
lowed to police the track and the raid did
not take place.
