sembly has completed its second week of
sweet doing nothing and has adjourned
until next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
The members have gone home feeling
that their presence in the state capital
has not been appreciated by the profes-
sional lobbyists and others In need Of
legislation. The time when men will
come TO Dover and urge the General
Assembly to pass bills which will remedy
all the ills of mankind. has not arrived
and the speakers of the two houses have
become convinced that for week at
least, there will be no need for the ap
pointment Of the standing committees.
On next Monday those members who
feel disposed will spend the day at
Newark, guests of the State Board of
Health. They will hear discourses on
contagious diseases among the lower
animals and their effect upon mankind,
and will see a diseased cow dissected TO
exemplify and practically demonstrate
the ravages Of anthrax or tuberculosis
upon the mother of some poor calf
which has been left an orphan by pro-
cess of anthraxiation" or "tubeculiza.
tion."

TO place any Republicans In nomination
for the Office When the vote is counted
ON Tuesday IL will doubtless be another
case of blankety blank
The House held two sessions to-day
The Senate only held one. The after.
