the poor Of Elizabeth the Poormaster has
discovered that there are many more poor

IT'S A MAYORS NEST.
That's What Senator Adrain Called
the Hudson Ballot Boxes in a
Debate Last Night.
specfal to the Jerseu On Me,us.

TRENTON, March 10, $780, Senate
Chamber this evening was the scene of
the most brilliant running debate be-
tween two of its ablest members. So in
terest1ng did it become that the visitors
and the members followed their example
to such an extent that call of the House
was moved and the sergeant-at-arms
went over to bring them back.
The discussion arose over Senate bill
No. so, which was introduced by Mr. Nc
Donald and which amends the mechanics
lien law by providing that all classes of
workmen working for daily wages shall
have preference over employers Of labor
without reference to date when such
laborers have filed their liens. The bill
was before the Senate on second reading
when Mr.. Adrain moved that it be re-
committed to the Committee on Judi
ciary.
He claimed that it was an important
measure and the Committee on Miscel-
laneouS Business, to which the DIii was
referred, had not sufficient legal knowI-
edge to determine whether it interfered
with the numerous laws that were now
on the statute book
Mr.. Mcdonald, in reply, said that in
rising to reply to the Senator from Mid
dlesex he wanted to explain that this bill
Dor in the State of New Jersey. AS the
population of Hudson county is made up
largely of wage workers and as he de-
sired to represent the will of his constitu-
ents. he thought that as the bill was thus
urged and as it had been reported by the
committee and was now before the Sem
ate for consideration, there was no me-
cessity for further delay.
Mr.. Adrain started in ito reply, and In
his usual humorous way. referred to the
'.fowery eloquence" OF the gentleman
from Hudson, which he declared to have
been entirely wasted.
The judiciary Committee he claimed
was the one which should have considered
the bill, and If that Committee had been
little dilatory in considering bills, it was
because the chairman of the Committee,
The Senator from Atlantic Mr.. Gardner.
was engaged in the arduous task of un-
earthing q Mayors" nest in Hudson
county.
He felt confident If the bill was sent
back to the Judiciary Committee it would
not be smothered, but the committee
would make comprehensive report,
He then referred to the many times
the bill had been introduced and defeated
and said that the gentleman for Hudson
advocated it as eloquently as if it had
been conceived in his own brain.
Mr.. Mcdonald retorted by saying that
as Hudson had been referred to in
sneering manner by the article it, he
would say that Hudson was neither
Middlesex nor neuter gender.
Then Senators Wyckof and Leming
took a hand in the discussion and assisted
Mr.. Mcdonald, while Gardner sided with
Mr.. Adrain.
Mr.. Mcdonald, however, was victorious
and Mr.. Abrams motion to recommit
was defeated and the bill went to third
reading.

TRENTON, March 10, 1S90.-The five
Assemhlymen ana five Senators who COM
pose the Joint Committee on Ballot Re-
form sat for three hours this afternoon
behind closed doors as usual
The entire committee was in great
state of mind over the leak which ap-
peared in the committee, and through
which the proceedings of the last meeting
reached the public. Each one declared
that he did not violate his pledge of
secrecy, and after considerable discussion
the matter was dropped, additional pre-
cautions having first been taken to guard
against any leaks in the. future.
Then the question discussed was
whether the voter should express his
choice as to candidates on the official bal
lot by checking Off the names or by
punching them with an official punch,
to be had only at the polling place. The
discussion over this lasted some time,
and then they tlrned their attention to

a Busy Evening Session.
Special to the Jersey city Nelcs.
TRENTON. March TO- 1890. The usually
crowded galleries admired the scarlet car
nation on Speaker Heppenheimer's lapel
this evening when he called the House to
order. At that time there was number
of Jersey City people on the floor. DR..
Edge, Fred Carter and Bob Elliot formed
a group near the Speakers desk, at which
every pair of eyes in the ladies gallery
cast admiring eyes. Sheriff Davis mod
estly kept out of sight behind one of the
pillars, but he could not escape the curl
Gus gaze of the rustic mem bers and visit
tors, who wanted to see the little Napol-
con of Hudson politics.
Miles McCartin lounged about the
committee room and exchanged funny
Comptroller's office. Ex-Judge Nc
Grath and H. w. Winfield were both
busy looking alter measures affecting
the county. while several lesser lights
watched the proceedings with unusual
interest
The bills giving the Court of Pardons
power to release criminals on ticket-of-
leave, and Mullone's measure, which
devotes one third of lthe licence money to
the improvement of sewers and streets,
one third to building school houses and
one third toward the payment of the
public debt, passed second reading.
Mr.. Boyle's bill reducing the ferr1age
for trucks came to grief when it came up
on final passage. Several members
thought it unconstitutional. Mr.. Voor-
hees asked ii the bill would make the
ferriage for trucks on the Elizabethport
and New York ferry ten cents.
Mr.. Boyle was little nonplussed at the
question and said he did not know there
was such a ferry. Mr.. Voorhees, replied
that the ferry was of Elizabeth's indus
tries, ana our industries must be taken
care of. you know, he said. The bill was
laid over.
Mr. Usher's bill giving West Hoboken
Township the right to fix the salaries of
it's officials by popular vote was lost.
Among the bills passed were:-
No. 216, Provides that all license fees shall be
paid to the city, town or township for their use
where collected
No. 270, Amending the Justices Audit act.
No. az, Providing an appropriation of S45 for

TRENTON, March 10, 1890 Governor
Albeit has no sooner gotten off his hands
the fight over the Burlington prosecutor
ship, which deluged him with delegation
after delegation, until the mention OF
Burlington county was enough to throw
him into a cold sweat, when he finds him
self confronted with similar contest in
Salem. The present prosecutor is Albert
HI. Shape, who is extremely desirous of
serving the county another term, and who
is bitterly opposed by John Craven the
mayor of Salem City.
Mr.. Slape has filled the position for
several years with entire satisfaction to
the county and is endorsed by Judges
Plumlner and Wood and the older Demo-
Gratis. On the other hand, the mayor is
supported by the younger element of the
party, who have raised the cry of repre-
sentation for the younger blood.
Each side has appointed delegations to
walt upon the Governor, and they may be
expected at any moment. Your country
delegate to the Governor is a curious in
dividual. He goes into the Executive
Chamber, talks to the Governor as though
he were comforting a favor upon him by
dropping in to see him. Then he goes
staggering about the Capitol like a
property owner inspecting one of his
buildings.
The first legislative junketing trip of
any magnitude is set down for Thursday.
But whether it will come off is quite
another thing. Both Houses are to go to
Atlantic City ostensibly to look at the
great board walk which the State is build
ing there, and for the completion of which
Atlantic City is clamOring for more
money In order to convince the Legisla-
ture that an additional appropriation is
necessary the city authorities have invited
both Houses to come down and see for
themselves A special train has been
chartered, large sized commasariat
provided, and great time is expected.
The committee of the Knights of
Labor to which was entrusted the task of
securing the passage of the Weekly Pay
ment bill has appointed sub committees
to visit all the senators and urge them
to vote for the bill when it comes up in
the Senate, which it probably will do this
week. A letter has been prepared under
the seal of the General Executive Board
of the order which will be sent to each
Senator.
The letter states that the bill intro
duced into the Assembly by Mr. Usher
and into the Senate by Mr.. Mcdonald has
the support of all the Knights of Labor
in the State, as we'll as the members of
the Farmers Alliance and the Grangers
and that the Industrial Senate, which
was organized by these three orders in
this city yesterday and which represents
10000 wage workers in the State, has
passed resolutions endorsing the bill

National Guard Companies.
Special to the jersey CITY Ne,os.
TRENTON, March 10, 1S90.-Mr. Mullone
introduced a bill into the Assembly this
evening which contains most healthy
and well developed Ethiopian. Very few
members discovered the negro in the
woodpiie. and but little notice was taken
of the bill at the time. 1t is House bill
No. 1868, and, Mr.. Mullone says, was intro
duced by request. 1t is innocent enough
looking on its face, and provides that the
National Guard shall consist of sixty
three companies of infantry and one bat
terry of artillery, organized into two bri-
gades, and comprized in one division.
The Ethiopian in the woodpile is the
clause which provides that three of these
companies shall consist of colored SOL
diers. Accompanying the bill was a petit
tion praying for its passage almost a
block long and signed by colored men in
all parts of the State.
The bill has good prospect of passing.

The Hudson County Amateur Baseball
League Executive Committee will meet
at No. 90 Linden avenue, Greenville. this
evening. A full committee meeting is
desired as business of the utmost inn
portance will be considered. The adop-
ton of constitution and the election of
officers are among the matters to be att
tended to, and discussion will take
place on the advisability Of increasing
the number of teams in the league to six
or more.
At present the membership is confined
to the Greenville Y. NJ. G. A., Grayling,
Iroquois and Puritans. but it is expected
that the Kensingtons, Woodwards and
Pamrapo A. G. Juniors will apply for
admission. In all probability one or
more of the clubs will be admitted, yet
there are several members of the Execu-
tive Committee who are strongly opposed
to increasing the number OF clubs. This
evenings meeting will, therefore, prove
very interesting.
