AFTER HIS SENATORIAL SCALP.
A Republican Paper Wants Adrain
Out.

(FTofn the E,fzd6sfR Journal, Rcp.)
1t is confidently asserted that Senator Adrain
will vote for this repeal of the race track laws
when the Legislature meets. NEG BrunsVick
Home Vea&
Senator Adrain will not have an oppor-
tunity to vote either for or against the re-
peal of the race track bills if the incoming
Senate has the courage to do the right
thing. Senator Adrain is public prosecu-
tor of Middlesex county, and he has no
right to be State Senator. The State con-
stitution expressly forbids it, and the law
explicitly declares that the moment he
becomes prosecutor he ceases to be
Senator. What the Senate should do as
soon as possible is to adopt a resolution
setting forth the facts and declaring the
place of the Middlesex county Senator va
can't. This they have a perfect right to
do, as the Senate is the judge of the qualifi-
cations of its own members. This is upon
good, legal ground; but there is still further
reason for turning out Adrain. His course
was as shameless in the Senate as was that
of Thompson or Flynn in the House, and to
him more than to any other man in the Sen
ate is chargeable the disgrace of having the
infamous race track laws upon the statute
book. In his official capacity as legislator,
in his unblushing and audacious pleas before
the courts in favor of the race tracks, and
in his vicious and domineering use of the
Senate presidency to further the fortunes of
gamblers, he has been a disgrace to the
State. In both law and good morals Adrain
ought to be promptly and permanently turn
ed out of the Senate, whether he's ready to
vote for or against the repeal of the race
track laws.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

With the beginning of the year appear
novelties of Russian effects and modern adop-
ton Of the first Empire; the latter being I'M
doubtedly suggested by a recent revival of
the Napoleonic studies which make its in
huence felt into literature, on the stage and
even in art. Thus elegant opera wraps are
frequently made with Empire yokes and
voluminous Renaissance sleeves. The dra-
peries already announced are being devel-
oped into many original effects, indoor gowns
being influenced by those of the peplum
description. The dress skirt is becoming
wider at the bottom, and the sleeve
also more v~oluminous. Bodices at the
present moment, are taking all the in
ventive genius of the artist dresslnaker by
being susceptible of every conceivable novel
ty in trimming and material. There has
never, also, existed such a rage as the present
one for fur and ermine above all. Some Or
iginal designs of collarettes in real Louis
XIII style-drooping at the shoulders and
very fat-are becoming very popular among
the new modes. These various movements
indicated in the ~toilettes of the mothers are
closely copied by the fashions in girls dresses
and even in the costumes of very little ones
themselves. In extracting these instructive
items from the latest Mcdowell Fashion
Journals we notice that the handsome pubh-
cations still maintain the high standard OF
their former excellence and contain, besides,
new features of special interest. They are
invaluable for their practical advice to
dresslmakers and amateurs.

NO DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION.
Winton says the Republic
cans Have NO Cause to Worry.
From The Bergen Democrat.

FROM fHe bergen DeWOCFQt.
The Republican members of the Legisla-
ture AVE been very active this week in
holding caucuses in different parts of the
State. First we hear of the Assemblymen
meeting in Trenton, then the Senators had
an inning, and finally both branches held a
powwow at Newark. They are having lots
of trouble, the fight for the succession to
Senator McPherson's seat next year being
the objective point. General Sewell and G.
A. Hobart are trying to shape events in a way
that will rebound to their own glory when
the time for voting comes. Then, again, Re-
publican newspapers seem to be puzzled over
the attitude Of The Democratic Senators re-
speeding the organization of the Senate
next week. They imagine all sorts of dire
things, and are getting up schemes to check
mate imaginary moves. The preliminary
work of the first day of the session is in
Democratic hands, whatever its future may
be. The fact of its being a continuous body,
called to order by a Democratic presiding
officer for the time being, or until he is dis
placed by q new organization of the body, if
such there should be, furnishes no excuse for
SO much Republican worriment. If the Re-
publican Senators are wise they will quietly
participate in the business of starting the
new session and help repeal the race track
legislation, which viii Immediately follow.
Meanwhile there is no opposition, organized
or otherwise, MOI will there be upon the part
of Democrats to prevent the passage of
genuine reform measures, Republican news
papers to the contrary Notwithstanding.

all night in the convent and attended mid
night mass. My bedroom humber 13) was
about half as big as that little bedroom you
and / occupied at JEST during our Italian
trip, cut more plainly furnished. AS 1
couldn't sleep very well, l got up and went
to mass at 10:45, stayed there nearly two
hours and then went to bed at 2 A. NJ. At
a few minutes before II, Peres, mot Freres)
came fling In from their cells, each carrying
a little lantern. Not one of them uttered a
word for some time; then one of them made
slight noise as though with his nuckles on a
desk, and the Latin chant of about four notes
began, and continued with slight interrupt
tions for an hour and t~hree-quarters. Then
each ~relighted his little lantern, put out the
light held in a little reflector on the breast
ito light up the book before him and as
silently as they came they went Off to their
cells.
Thefe are forty Peres or Pretres there, and
forty-four Fereres. The Peres are the more
advanced, live in their cells from weeks
eud to weeks end, except for their church
services at miunlgHG anu one meal GOgeUnef
on Sundays and church holidays. These
Peres never speak to each other, nor to any
one whatever except when out on a promen-
ade, which they take once a week. The
Ereres do the business of the convent, and
are less restricted; though they never go
outside of the twelve-acre walled inclosure
without permission. No wan is ever allowed
to go inside that walled Enclosure, except by
written permission from the Pope, and
Queen Victoria was the last one having that
permission.-HortfoLd Couraat.

From, the EUsning sun of Saturday.
As for the New Jersey delegation, four
of the six democrats are opposed to the
bill, and state that unless important modi-
~ications are made in response to the de-
mands of the people they will vote against it.
These four are Messrs. Cadmus of Paterson,
Fielder of Jersey City, Dunn of Elizabeth
and English Of Newark. Geissenhainer
straddles, and Cornish announces his deter
mination to vote for the bill because he is a
loyal party man. In other words, as he ex-
presses it himself, 81 am in favor of King
Caucus" DR.. English of Newark bases his
opposition chiefly upon the sugar bounty
clause, to which he is unalterably opposed,
and to the lowering or removal of the duty
upon hattings, pearl buttons and other in
dustfies of his district. Mr.. Cadmus says
that the changes proposed by the committee,
when enacted into law, will destroy many
industries in the district which he represents,
and that, therefore, if the destructive
changes are allowed to stand, he will vote
against the bill. Mr.. Fielder stands prac-
tically in the same attitude as his Paterson
colleague. His principal objection of the
bill is the proposed reduction on spool
thread. The drug and medicine interests
and lithographing industry of his district
are also hit a hard blow by the proposed
changes in the bill, which, If it is not amend
ed in these directions, will not receive his
vote.

PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Comlmfsston ers Say They VIII Ess-
tabIisE, 1t January 10th.

The Fire Board met Saturday night, but
President Donnellv and Commissioner Kern,
who were to have created the new paid fire
department by the appointment of sixty-two
members had read THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
and were afraid to proceed. They were not
only afraid of Indictment but also relnova
from office. Kern has been indicted before,
and is not anxious to get himself into a
similar scrape with the presen Grand Jury
to deal with him. Then again, Mayor Wan
ser's severe condemnation of the pro-
posed scheme as published exclusively
in THE NEWS made the Commits
sioners hesitate. Not an appointment
was made nor was the subject Of creating a
paid department mentioned. An opinion
was read from Corporation Counsel Edwards
to the effect that it would be legal for the
board to pay all its old hung up claims out
of an appropriation of $4,000, which had
Just been made by the Board of Finance.
The opinion was fled.
The Democratic members of the board are
somewhat disappointed over the construction
placed on the law concerning the creation OF
q paid department by ex-senator Brincker-
hoff. The Commissioners, however, say that
they have advice upon which they will pro-
coed on January 10 and make the ~sixty-two
appointments necessary for the creation of a
paid department as authorized by law. The
board adjourned Saturday evening without
transacting any business.

LoNGFELLow ON EMERSON.

1 remember Longfellow's once saying of
Emerson that he used his friend as he did
lemons-when he could squeeze nothing more
from them he threw them away; but this,
while in one sense true, does Emerson a radi-
cal injustice; he had no vanity, no self inn
portance; truth and philosophy were SO SUI
preme in their hold on him that neither HIM
self or any otherself was worth SO much as
the solution of a problem in life. To get
this solution he was willing to squeeze him
self like a lemon, if need were: and why
should he be otherwise disposed to his neigh
Dor? There are others who knew
Emerson better than 1 did or could,
and possibly Longfellow did, though
that observation makes me doubt
that there was any real sympathy between
them. But what seems to me the truth is
that Emerson instinctively divided men into
two classes, with one of which he formed
personal attachments, which, though tranquil
Inc undemonstratiye, as was his nature,
were lasting; in the other he simply found
his objects of study, problems to be solved
and their solutions recorded. There was the
least conceivable self-assertion in him; he
was the best listener, a genuine thinker, or
one whom be thought to be such, ever had;
and always seemed to prefer to listen rather
than talk, to observe and study rather than
to discourse.-Ihe Critic.

case on q hinge SO that when the catch was
loosefed at night the steps would be solid at
the base, but when a person reached the top
his weight would cause the whole staircase
to tip, and he would be precipitated into q
cistern in the cellar. Inadvertently. one
morning he forgot to fasten the catch, n
the result was that his wife assembled the
staircase and she YVES precipitated into the
cistern, but she had cork soles on her shoes
and did not drown. After the husbands in
terview with his wife he was rather sorry
that she had the cork soles on.
The best way to ascend q staircase is to
climb up the rail. After you reach the
second floor pick up the little things you see
around but don't take the mans purse, as
Shakespeare says "a mar who steals my
purse steals trash y but be sure to take the
contents of the purse. Shakespeare re-
ferred to the purse itself, not its contents.
The family may possibly be disturbed. You
will observe then that the wife will come
first and the husband will be behind her with
a candle. This will be done ~designedly, for
the husband knows his wife is safe. A
burglar who would lay his hand on woman
except in the way of kindness is a wretch
whom it would he gross fiattery to name a
to retire gracefully from the house-not
more than six steps at a time. You will
probably see III the newspaper next day an
account of q desperate struggle between the
husband and the burglar; how the husband
told the wife to retire and be calm while he
carried ON the contest single handed, and
finally hurled the burglar, bleeding at every
pore, from the second story window, and
was only detained from following him be-
cause he could not find his pants. Do not
reply to any SANDER of this kind; there is 10
profit in newspaper controversy. Time will
furnish your vindication-fve to ten years,
according to the opinion of the Judge.
CHAPTER ".
Notwithstanding there is much that is ex-
citing and attractive in the burglars profess
sion, | would scarcely feel warranted in
recommending it to any ambitious and
talented youth. 1t has it's disadvantages.
1t requires one to be out late at night, just
at the time when he could be having the
most comfort at home, for his family would
be asleep. Furthermore, the art of burglary
is at the present time prohibited by law, and
anything that is under the ban of the law is
under condemnation. You cannot well
engage in a profession forbidden by the law
without mourning some reproach. We have
been in hopes that the laws would be i'm
proved. We succeeded in getting gambling
licensed at the last Legislature, and were in
hopes of soon having burglary licensed, but
you know we have recently, at the last cleo
ton, received quite a setback, n we must
be content to possess our souls with patience
and wait for better times.
