TO SUFFER MARTYRDoM

| at4theT hotelFriday morning what he thought
of Jerseys lawmakers, hereplied:-
.sDarned Of ] know. They-only talk I've
heard all week is State Prison, md if I'm not
much mistaken half those Republicanfellers
will be- In the Jail before the peach crop is
picked.# 80 sef'N'
The old farmer was right. State prison
was the one thing u%ppermost in the minds Of
that It viii be the bore Of contention this
week, 1t is on the programme for the Senate
to act on Major Andefson's uanae this even
ing, hut whetheY be will be confirmed or re-
jeGted only General Bewell knows. He is
tboss,s and while the 'skicking over the
was q surprise, yet these same accidents have
been trestedb by the party doctor during the
interim Of adjournment. and will, no doubt,
act this evening as docdle as trained dQnkeyS
the only unsuitable coWparison), and obey
the party whip as desired.
There is no institution ir the State that
possesses the same political significance as
the State Prison. All the other Institutions
have little or no political character. Morris
Plains Asylum, Trenton Asylum, James
burg Reform School, If they DO employ po-
litical workers, draw their supply from local
territory, but the State Prison gets its sup
plies of officers and employees frem every
eoupty in the State.
OF course, most of those employees are
democrats. Despite Republican pYotesta-
lions of legislating for the people, It i hRrd
to sit byand see these democFats enjoying
the fruits Of Office. There are about five
hungry republicans for every position oc-
must be taken care Of, and the legislators
propose doing SO, no matter at whatco cost.
KEEPER PATTERSON TRIMMING.
There Is a well developed plan, however,
to save the institution to the care Of some Of
the workers. Head Keeper Patterson does
pays better than anything he has struck for
years. He gets $500. Mrs. Patterson, as
~nlatron, gets SI,e0o, and Miss Patterson, as
cutter in the wonep,s ward, gets s72O, maRt
ing In all, 8, 420-S5,420 clear money for the
Patterson family, which Is q snug income,
considering there's rent, coal, light and food
free. Head Keeper Patterson is willing, so
rar as he is concerned, to divide with the re-
publicans. He is willing to see Major Ander-
son made the Supervisor, and the Republicans
have half Of the Board Of Inspectors and the
under-keepers. MIR. Patterson is sincere in
his desire to take the institution out or
politics.
John Grover, who has been 10 Trenton
Post Office for some time, has recently been
restored and given the position vacated by
the murder OF Keeper Lippincott, and Al.
Barwis, the Republican Port Collector re-
moved by Grover Cleveland, was given the
place made vacant by the discharge OF Night
keeper Waters, who was overpowered by
the convict that killed Lippincott. Keeper
Patterson is trimming very much to save his
bacon, and he is keeping his eye daily on the
legislation at the State House.
