LAMBERTVILLE. N. J.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH %, 1894.
The Legislature.

Governor Werts sent his first veto 10
the House on Monday. 1t was the re.
pealer of the act which compels persons
arrested to be taken to the nearest justice
for hearing. The bill was passed two
years ago in the interest of the Gutten-
burg race track at the time the bookmak-
ers were being arrested daily by Captain
John Graham The Governor thinks the
act Of 1892 good one. 1t protects in
dividual liberty and has many wise pro-
visions. The fact that il was used by
people arrested on race-tracks should not
operate against it. The race-track are
no longer in operation aud that objection
no longer exists, and there is no reason
for the repeal Of legislation otherwise
proper and beneficial.
There was a regular cyclone Of bills in.
trcduced Monday night. Nearly every
member unlocked his desk and produced
some of the bills that they have been
holding back until the settlement of the
deadlock. Thirty-six were added TO the
already long list. Among tue most i'm.
portant gllls introduced was one by AS.
semblyman Eisel, of Essex county, to
create Court of Parole, making it indie
pendent OF the Court OF Pard0ns, but in
Guiding The same officers, with the Keeper
of the State Prison as an ex officie officer.
They shall meet on the first Tuesday OF

to give mere attention TO the conduct of
prisoners during the period of parole. AS.
