elected for third time. He goes out of

Of the important positions of Treasurer
and Comptroller, the Legislature will
now devote its time to important partisan
legislation A joint caucus will be held
next week and all partisan measures will
be considered. The leaders are anxious
to hasten business. They want to close
the session in about eight weeks
CAUTIOUS POLICY.
Governor Albeit says that he is with
his party in everything that is fair and
reasonable, but ne will not favor any rad
ieal legislation. 1t is doubtful since this
declaration whether the bill Ousting the
present district court judges will be pass
ed Judge Dayton's place will be vacant
however, and the prevale Mt idea seems to
be that ex-Judge McGra will be his
successor. Days bill to abolish the pres
ent management of the Trenton and Nor
ristown asylums and place their control
in the hands of the Democrats will GER
taiuly pass.
The members from the various counties
have been requested to send to the State
Committee their suggestions for the new
Congressional and Assembly Redistrict-
ing and Reapportionment bills. The COM
mittee will consider all tue suggestions
and formulate the bill. 1t will then be
acted upon promptly.
HUNGRY ESSEX.
The Governor is being pestered with
delegations urging the appointment of
various candidates to vacant places.
Essex is foremost and the hungriest of
all
A delegation from that county waited
upon the Governor this morning and re-
quested him to appoint James II. Sey-
mour State Prison Inspector The Gov
ernor receivedsthem in his usual courte-
GUS manner, but irmly informed them
that though he believed Mr.. Seymour to
be good man he thought Essex had re-
ceived about all she was entitled to.
Jacob klatZ. who is Senator McPberson's S
man, is working hard for the position.
Ex-Sheriff Patterson considers himself
certain of re-appointment, and says that
Senator Brown, of Monmouth, who was
supposed to be against him, is in his fav-
or, and that he has assurances of support
from Senators Keys, Mallon. Barrett and
Cornish.

THE TALKY ASSEMBLY.
DAILY Fighting for Questionable Bill
Nash's Nonsense.

Specidl TO the Jersey City Eei1s
TRENTON. Feb. 3, ls91.-1here was dis
play of oratorical pyrotechnics in the
House this afternoon over Daly's DILL
limiting to three years the time in which
actions shall be brought to recover dam
ages for the death of a person Mr. Daily
made an eloquent plea, in which
he pictured the great injustice
of the present one year limit.
Mr.. Nash championed the cause of the
railroads and said that the action should
be brought while the facts were fresh in
the minds Of the witnesses. He very
justly argued that after the lapse of two
or three years the witnesses were hard TO
procure aud were apt TO forget the cir
cumstances. Messrs. NanSyckel and Kerr
favored the bill, while Mr.. Campbell OPP
posed it. Ii finally went over.
Father Nash, the patriarch Of the
House, afforded the members considera-
bic amusement. During the morning
session he obtained the floor. and said
that be had been promised clerk for his
Committee on Bill Revision. He wanted
that promise fulfilled, aud il he was not
given a CLERK he would resign. Mr. Cole,
OF Camden, made a speech, in when ne
moved thaE Mr. Nash be given clerk;
but the molten was voted down. True To
his ultimaIum, Mr.. Nash rendered his
resignation. Mr.. Boyle moved
that II be accepted. Mr. Potts sag
gested that the clerk OF tue committee
on CORPORATIONS be detailed 70 assist Ne.
Nash. If this would not do ne suggested
that two or three pages be ass igned 10
assist Mr.. Nash as the House had more
pages than IL knew what to do with. But
this would not do. Mr. Nash must have
clerk or nothing. The resignation was
tabled anu for while forgotten.
When the afternoon session adjourn ed,
Mr.. Nash. whose wrath had cooled con
siderably, announced tnat the COMMITTEES
on Bill Revision would meet tomorrow

TRENTON. Feb. 3. 1sgl.-In the Senate
today President Adrain appointed
Messrs- Mcdonald, Marsh and Cranmer
committee TO consider the contest
against Senator Keys There was some
debate over the House bill which pro-
vldes that renewals OF licenses may be
granted iE cities OF the second class upon
the applicant hling a new application
and bond with names of Freeholders who
did not sign former applications annexed
thereto. Senator Carter. the Burlington
county local preacher, objected to the bill
on the ground that it would open the
doors still wider for liquor dealers by al
lowing them 10 get renewals of their
licenses without the necessary twelve
signers.
Mr.. Barrett unnecessarily and often
sively referred to the churches as bodies
OF cranks and said that their objections
should have no weight in matters of this
kind. Everyone was thoroughly dis
gusted with him. Mr.. Marsh said that
the only object OF the bill was TO enable
the liquor dealers whose business was
conducted legally to obtain renewals OF
their licenses If deemed entitled by the
excise boards without having TO leave
their business and run around town to
get signers to their applications and in
some instance be compelled to pay SIS for
a name
Mr.. Mcdonald thought the bill a lust
one and urged its passage. The bill was
ambiguous in its wording Senator
Gardner Thought A freeholder might be
held sponsor for "A license indefinitely, or
at the end Of the year he might sign some
other application. The bill was finally
passed by vote of 12 to O. Senators
Barker. OF Gloucester, and Smith, OF Sus-
sex, Democrats, voting with the minor
ity.
There seems to be a great popular de-
fnano Tor the Governors Message, and

One Of the most interesting and strik-
ing figures among the Oxford studenta
| Is Comelia sorabji, tall olive.Bkinned
girl, as slender as the traditional Indian
princess who weighed only one rose leaf.
Clothed in her native dress Of pale blue
Grape embroidered with gold, with its
mantle draped over her head ike Q veil
and shadoWing her astonishingly large
aud brilliant eyes, she makes Q strange
picture among the rosy blond English
women in their tailor gowns. At eiRh'
teen, and Professor Of Literature IN the
University at Bombay, she still thirsted
for broader opportunities, and found
her way to Somerville, and attracted at
tention by her brilliant examination
papers for the history and literary
schools. The government decided, how:
ever, that q woman with knowledge Of
law was needed to collect evidence in
tho Zsnanas, and shs Immediately en-.
tered upon legal course. Alter six
months study her papers on Roman law
were held by the examiners to be the
most remarkable and able ever presented
by any student Of either sex in the uni
versity. Prince Dhuleep singh's two
daughters are also members OF Somer:
Vile, and on It's rolls stand very many OF
the most noted and noble names Of Eng.
land. The outside world hears less OF
the work done by women ct Oxford than
Of those at Cambridge, because Of a dit-
ierent system OF comforting honorsi but
here is found the best example Of women
freely sharing in university life, and the
best proof that neither young men nor
young women are the worse for that
OF study.
