GAME LAW CHANGES.
A Batch of New Laws to Protect Bird,
Beast and Fish.
Special to The Jersey CITY Neps.

Special to the Jersey City Neus.
TRENTON, Feb. 2, 1S91.-The game laws
are to be amended III the usual way this
year. That is. there are a number of
bills pending already. Last year a big
batch of such measures were offered, but
most of them were left in the hands OF
the committee. This year several from
South Jersey. Mr.. Van Syckel wants to
prohibit fishing for eels with eel pots or
baskets in the two rivers and three creeks
In Cumberland county, between the
first of September and the first of
March each year. The fish are being
destroyed too rapidly in that sec
tion. Mr. Strimpie. who halls from
Salem. where reed bird shooting Is quite
popular, wants 10 have the time
extended for shooting them. The present
law gives hunters this privilege between
August 81 and December 10, but Mr..
Strimple wants the time xed between
August % and December 10, which would
add a few days of pleasure TO the sports
men. Mr.. Van Syckel also wants 10 for
bid the shooting OF any quail whatever
for a term of five years. THESE birds are
elegant eating and The fun OF shooting Is
even greater than the pleasure OF eating
them. But they are getting very scarce in
South Jersey and the only way TO renew

their being shot.
Mr.. Perkins has the interest of the Bur
lington fishermen at heart. for he has a
bill which amends the law in reference
70 fishing in the Delaware, which will be
for their benefit. Senator Carter, from
the same county, want 10 prohibit the
killing of the reed birds within one mile
of their roosting place, except between
the hours OF six a. IN. and seven D. m.
Senator Werts has three bills for amend
ing the game laws. Morris county is
dotted with beautiful fish ponds and
places where sportsmen love to angle.
but there Is fear OF them becoming de-
pleted of their stock. The legislation
proposed by Mr.. Werts is TO make il un-
lawful to catch brook trout except
between March l and July Is; prohibits
the catching of salmon except with rod
and line between March l and August Is,
n appropriates 5000 for stocking the
waters of the State with fish. This
would be of great advantage to Norris
county in particular.

No paper has shown up the dis
astrous effect of McKinleyism more
thoroughly than the State Gazette.
We have sometimes thought it was at
heart opposed to the wicked tariff and
only kept up a show of advocating il
in order to make the fatal stabs it in
ficted more effectual. Here is an
item from the Gazette of this morn
ing
The nailers. ~puddlers and cooDers at the iron
works, cxford. have been notified that their
wages viii be reduced, the nailers from Is to 80
per cent. the puddlers IS cents per ton, and the
coopers from IS to 25 per cent?
OF all industries iron was to benefit
most, according to the theory of the
high protectionists. Probably it
does. too, that is to say, the capital
istic end of the trade. But the State
Gazette, in the above paragraph, very
plainly shows where the labor end Of
the combination comes in on the
profit.

Literary salad"
1t is often difficult to know how to
entertain an evening company with.
out ~resorting to cards or dancing, and
it is noticeable that some form Of in
~tellectual entertainment is becoming
more and more popular each year.
Among these is the literary salad
Although designed primarily for an
afternoon tea party, IL can easily be
adapted to any social gathering.
A few days beforehand dainty invi-
tations are sent out. These are writ
ten on pale green note paper, but in
other respects are in the usual form.
The material part of the feast need
not be described, as it is like any deli
cate menu now served under the name
of ladies' lunch.
After the tablesi are cleared, the
hostess seats herself before a table on
which is a plate of green leaves, and
with a rap of her knife calls the ladies
to order, thus:-"Ladies, l want to
serve q salad, and you are To- invited
10 come up in turn and select a
SHARE
OF course, each one comes up in
haste, eager to solve the mystery.
The leaves are pieces Of green it's
sue paper, on each of which is pasted
a slip of white paper bearing a quota
ton from some popular OF standard
author.
As each guest passes the table she
selects a leaf, and upon reading the
quotation gives the name of the
author. If she does this correctly,
the leaf is hers. If she fails, she re-
turns the leaf, but some time after
ward has another trial in her turn.
Some of the quick witted ones will
Don collect a large bouquet of the
leaves, and to the one who gathers
the largest there is given a pretty
prize of some sort.
To make the leaves for the literary
salad" take light green tissue paper,
and cut it into the shape of large let
tuce or small cabbage leaves, leaving
a small strip at the bottom of each.
Fold the leaves lengthwise through
the middle, and slip it over a hairpin,
pressing it together over the round
ing part of the pin. IL this is done
carefully, the leaf will be beautifully
crimped, like a real one just from the
garden.
Now write the quotations upon
some slips of writing paper, aud paste
them on the piece left for this pur-
pose on the tissue paper leaf. Have a
small book with all the quotations
and the names of the authors written
opposite each other, so that the
awarding committee may have its aid
in deciding who has guessed the
greatest number of names. Youths

Liquor and Law.

We print on this page. for the pur-
pose Of answering it effectively, an ar
ticle from the Wine and Spirit Gazette,
the organ, as its name imports, of the
liquor dealers. We think that for
calm Justification and unblushing i'm
pudence it passes anything we have
seen in print since-well, say Senator
Ingalls, last speech in Congress.
We have no narrow or puritanic
ideas regarding the liquor traffic. We
believe that under fair regulations it
is legitimate, and, if not without its
bad side, still has uses and merits like
all other human institutions. We
even go SO far as to wish that the sem
timent OF the community would per-
init a restricted sale of liquor on Sun
days, because we think there is a leg
itimate demand for it and because we
believe 1t better that the demand
should be gratiied under the control
of the law than surreptitiously and
illegally, as it otherwise must be.
But when il comes to restoring in
this State a reign OF free rum such as
prevailed before the enactment of the
Werts bill, we are heart and soul
against it and we believe we are in
/accord with the entire decent senti-
ment of the State. The evils of liquor
are not the products of liquor itself,
they are the offspring OF the cheap,
tough, irresponsible, low-licensed
groggery, of the adulterated poison
which is sold in such dens,
and of the impossibility of pun
ishing the proprietors of such
places, no matter how outrageously
they violate law and order. The
Werts bill contributed more than
years of legislation and work to crush
out this class of dives, ani it is be-
cause it is daily making their exist
ence more and more difficult that the
present raid on the Legislature is n
dertaken.
The Wine and Spirit Gazette says
the liberal element of the State of
New jersey favors the reduction of
The license fee and the abolition of the
1a@9rderly house, feature of the law.
rs is an unqualified, unadulterated
Alsehood. The only element that
favors either is the tough element and
the rum element. The intelligent
liberal element of the State is in favor
of letting the law stay just as it is.
1t is highly i~njudicious in the liquor
people to raise trouble at this time.
They are sure TO get the worst
OF it, and, if they should
by any chance get the legis-
lation they want this year, they
would suffer for it in the long run,
because the Puritanic element would
agaip become rampant, and sooner or
later1would procure more stringent
laws than ever before for the restric-
ton Of the liquor traffic. To do them
justice, the a~nti-saloon people nave
been very moderate since the passage
Of the Werts bill. They have de-
manded no new legislation; they have
made no fierce crusades. They have
shown that they have no life or vigor
under a fair state of the law, and that
it is only out of offenses against pub
lie decency that their power springs.
Senator Mcdonald, who surely be
longs to the liberal element in the
State, when visited by a liquor deal
ers' committee in the interest of re-
Taxed laws, said, very suggestiyely:-

IT is a mistake on the part of the
Tax Commission to propose the taxa
ton OF any property actually used
for religious purposes. The taxation
of property owned by religious
societies for purposes of revenue IS
legitimate enough; but the general
sentiment will be opposed to levying
tribute on houses of worship,
shelter for the poor and suffering,
and seats of learning. As an en-
lightened State, New Jersey Is bound
to grant exemptions in these cases.
As for taxing them for municipal pur-
poses only, this is simply illogical.
There is no more reaso why they
should pay tribute to the city than
to the county.
THE Hudson building and loan
associations will do well to take part
in the State League. The notionthat
it will provoke legislation hostile to
the associations is absurd. Banded
together, they could kill all obnoxious
measures.
