uneasy the heads that wear the crowns Of

THE ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS.
The new Assembly lines are about COM
plete, with the exception of Hudson.
which might be said to be complete also.
Tax Commissioner O'Donnell appeared at
the State House this morning with two
Or three long, narrow maps under his
arm, and disappeared In the Governors
reception room. There he spread his maps
upon the long table around which the
Court of Pardons and various State
Boards meet, and in a short tim he Gov
srnor Albeit. ex-Sheriff Davis ana Coun-
by Clerk NJ ella ughIin were poring over
the maps.
From ffrao IN iraa har Of nd
sons Assembly delega ton dropped In to
assist, while Charlie Somers of the Street
aud Water Commissioners and other les
ser political lights were near with sugges-
tions. After some hours the lines were
agreed upon and Mr.. O'Donnell took his
maps home to have the lines plotted out
by competent draughtsman in order to
see that no corners or elbows have been
left out. This will be done Immediately,
and both bills will be introduced Monday
evening.
POLITICAL COMPLEXION.
The Congressional districts will remain
as stated in last Sundays edition of The
JERSEY CITY NEWS. six Democratic and
two Republican. Ten OF the eleven Hud
son Assembly districts. it is said, will be
Democratic.
THE GOVERNORS BUDGET.
The Governor has a large batch of
nominations to send to the Senate aud he
will begin Monday night to relieve the
anxious.
HEADLoNG WORK.
Most of the partisan bills are yet to be
passed and 1t Is probable that next week
will be an exceedingly lively one with
three sessions day. Many predict that
1t will be midnight of Friday night before
the hands of the clock will be permitted
to remain at three O'Clock, the hour liked
for adjournment. Never before has
there been such reckless legislation here
as there is now. Bills are brought up
aud rushed through before members can
learn what their numbers are. Speaker
Bergen rules things with an iron hand
and his antocratic rulings affect Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike. He enter
tainG DO dilatory motion or motions to ad-
jOurn. He has set his heart upon adjourn
ing next Friday and proposes to do so
with clear calendar.
The hard work of the past week began
to tell yesterday morning. These night
sessions with sjttings during the day had
depressing effect upon both Houses.
There was but little disposition 10 talk.
and things rushed along at speed TO suit
even the impatient Speaker. A motion
was made In the afternoon 10 have night
session, but that was sat down on so
effectually that 1t was quickly abandoned.
II Was, however, agreed to come back this
morning and clear up the calendar.
YESTERDAYS WORK
Nothing of much importance to the
cities was accomplished yesterday. In
the Senate memorial was received from
the State Charities, Aid Association fav-
0ring the bill providing for an intermedi-
ary State prison. Mr.. Winton withdrew
his bill providing for the taxation of Jer-
seY City's pumping station in Union
township, Bergen county. He has sub
sttute, however, which seeks the same
object. The bill giving Trenton paid
fire department, providing that electric
light companies must furnish all their
patrons with light at uniform fixed rates.
allowing the return of water rates and
assessments paid in error; and providing
that foreign loan and building associa-
tions must take out licenses before they
can do business in the State were passed.
IN THE ASSEMBLY.
