MORRISTOWN, June 6, 1S95.-A mar
riage that took place in this city Tues
day night is causing much comment
as being the work Of a number of prac-
teal jokers.
The bridegroom Is Lemuel Johnson.
formerly an inmate of an insane asylum
and a well known eccentric character
about town. The bride is Lettie Arm
strong, a simple-minded girl. who was
employed as a domestic in a family re-
siding on S~peedwell avenue. The couple
were introduced to each other by the
practical jokers Tuesday, and within
i've minutes Johnson Wooed, proposed
marriage to the girl and was accepted.
The bridegroom-eleet, being without
finances, hustled around among the
storekeepers in the neighborhood, and,
after relating to them the story of his
hasty coprtship, asked for a loan Of s.
wherewith to pay a minister the mar
riage fee. He finally succeeded in OBJ
tanning the loan from two of the jokers
in the plot. With part Of the cash John.
sen bought a wedding ring. The rest
was given to the minister who married
the couple.
After buying the ring johnson and his
intended BRIDE, escorted by a large crowd,
went to the parsonage Of the Methodist
church and requested Pastor George P.
Eckman to perform the marriage cere-
r1ony: Thinking that all was not as it
should be-. the pastor declined. The
couple, still escorted by a crowd which
constantly grew in numbers, then pro-
ceeded to the residence of the Rey. DIR.

been performed the crowd became up

PUBLICATION OF THE LAWS.

From this mornings State Gazette Rep).
Senate bill number 1886, providing for
the publication of the laws in pamphlet
form, has passed The Senate and will no
doubt pass the House. If this bill be-
| comes a law it will, of course, have
the effect of saving to the State several
thousands of dollars, but It is a question
if it is a branch of economy that IS
warranted, needed or even just. The
laws, we presume are enacted for the
benefit of the people, and every citizen
of the State is held responsible to them.
If the law is violated the v~iolator is ar
rested, arraigned before a court and
| placed upon the defensive. Should his
plea be ignorance of the law. it has no
| weight with the court or jury. The law
| recognizes in that plea, though it be a
true one, no excuse for the crime, and if
the man is found guilty, he pays the
| penalty. In view of this fact. It seems
to us that no effort should be spared to
bring the laws of the State, which are
changed and increased in number each
| year, to the attention of every citizen in
the State, and no better means for doing
his suggests itself to US than by pub
lssh.ng them in the newspapers.
According to the census in 1890, New
Jersey had a population of 1,444, 933, and
since then it has considerably increased.
In 1894 the voting population of the
State, as shewn BY the poll books, vas

the citizens 2f New Jersey VII agaii
be right in taking that position. It IS
not at all likely that newspaper publish
erS in the various counties in the State
will publish the laws without compen
sation. It wou1d put many of them to
an expense that they could not bear, and
with the material necessary to publish
the laws. The publishers are certain
ly under no obligations to their readers
to the people without compensation, and
a. reasonable conclusion is that they will
not do it. If it is desired to ed1ce the
cost of publication it might be done in
a more reasonable way than the bill re-
ferred to proposes and the consideration
due TO the people at the same time be re-
SDected. %
