Ill Considered Bill of Senator Terhune
Vicious Labor Measure.
Special to The jersey Citu Neics.
TRENTON, Feb /, 1895. Yesterday was
comparatively an off day in the matters
of bills, although the Senate out-did it.
SELF Mr.. Ternune, who introduced the
bill for the repeal of the Parole Law is q
nephew of that old Monmouth war horse
.stsff'' Little. Mr.. Little has always
been loud in his denuDciation OF the release
of the ballot box suffers last December,
and as soon as his nephew entered the
Senate he proposed that his DISCUS t
should be ex pressed in more substantial
manner. Stale Prison Keeper Patterson
said that he would make no objection to
the repeal of the law, although he was
convinced that New jersey had one of
the best parole laws in the Union. Less
than one hundred men, he said, had been
released under it since it was enacted two
years ago, and 1t had been OF much use
in relieving the terrible strain upon the
capacity of the State Prison.
The other Senate bills oil interest co
Hudson people were:-
Mr. Mc2Iickle-Amends Public Instruction act
BY providing for Board of Examiners in each
County consisting of County Superintendent and
not more than three teachers appointed by him
