= Our Third Party Prohibition friends,
who have indirectly helped to elect a
Democratic legislature two or three times
during the past four or five years, will be
pleased, perhaps, to know OF the results
Of their course. In the Senate bill was
passed yesterday, allowing renewal OF
license in cities of the second class, with.
out the necessary twelve signers. This
bill will pass the House, without doubt.
Two or three other bills, giving more
freedom to whiskey sellers, have been n-
troduced, and will undoubtedly pass.
To cap all, the beer sellers of Hudson
and Essex are preparing 10 offer bill al.
lowing saloons to be open half day on
Sundays. Only the most determined OPP
position Of the Christian and moral people
of the State can defeat this proposition.
To such state as this have we come In
the year 1891.

pie paid little more attention to the

Speed In Ocean Travel.

1.-THE great drawback" said Mr.. Rich
ard, one of the agents of the Hamburg
American Packet company, "to crossing
the ocean quicker than we do at present
is the expense of coal. More powerful
engines could be built which would in
crease the speed, but these engines would
require SO much more coal. The steam
ers of the Hamburg American Packet
company now consume about 210 to $50
tons of coal day; If $50 tons were
needed daily, these steamers would be
run at loss, for, besides the cost of and
the valuable space required for the add
tional 100 or so tons Of coal, more en-
gineers, more stokers, ETC.. would be
needed. But if we went to an unlimited
expense for the most powerful engines
in the world the gain of time in crossing
the ocean would not be more than eight
or ten hours, SO long as coal is used.
81 have great faith, however, in cleo
tricity some day or other taking the
place of coal for the propulsion of ocean
steamers, and when that is brought
about they will be run much cheaper
The weight of the coal does not make
the steamer slower; that has nothing to
do with it. Sometimes weighted
steamer goes faster than one that is not
weighted, all depending upon the wind
and weather
Steamers can never go as quick rs
locomotives, because they have to con-
tend against water and air, whereas the
railroad cars have only air as resist
ance. Assuming the maximum speed Of
a locomotive to be about sixty miles an
hour over short distances, it may be said
that it goes three times as rapidly as n
steamer, although the average time made
by the fastest limited express train is
only twice the average time made by
fast steamer. Epoch.

legislative report of the proceeding is
given as follows:
Senate 90, repeating the Borough act Of

act of 1890, asked as a matter of courtesy
that 1t lay over until next Tuesday to ac-
commodate borough in Cape May conn
ty which was organizing under the 1890
act, and which would be materially affect
ed If this repeater should pass.
Mr.. Everitt, the introducer OF the re.
pealer, said that an election was being
held In his county (Hunterdon) to-day,
and he wanted the repeater passed imme-
several Freeholders.
The matter became party question
and MIR. Leaming's motion was lost by q
party vote, and the bill was passed by the
same vote. Mr.. Leaning then objected
to the bill being sent TO the House before
twenty-four hours, according 10 rule, but
Mr.. Everitt moved that the rules be sus-
pended and the bill be sent over immc-
diately, which was adopted by party
vote.
The bill was also passed 10 The House,
