Mr.. Corbin's idea about abolishing the
publication of the laws in newspapers is
incorrect. There is no other method on
earth SO effectual as the newspapers to
publish the laws, especially in these days
when so many new ones are passed touch
ing the everyday interests OF the people.
To dump big book into private houses,
as suggested, means only subse quent trans
fer to the waste-box. Given in weekly
installments in meritorious newspapers,
scarcely an intelligent man misses glanc-
ing at the heading, and then, If affecting
his interests, the particular law is clipped
out or the paper containing 1t rellglously
preserved. To abolish the publication OF
the laws would simply be playing into the
hands OF the lawyers, and, possibly, the
dailies of New York and Philadelphia.
Another important fact is that readers OF
the proceedings of the Legislature, finding
it impossible to keep the run of bills in
troduced, feel assured that they will know
the exact outcome when the laws are
printed in their home journal, which is,
as a rule, their most carefully read paper
AS to the expense, the militia, big appro-
priations for ordinary improvements, in
ordinate fees and other things could bet
ter be dispensed with. Beside, this need
ed information given the people is no tax
on the masses, as State tax, except for
schools, is not one of the items of citizens
tax bills. Two or three job printers get
nearly as much occasionally as the whole
hundred newspapers, and the same job
parties generally have newspaper annex,
too. Let the rotten timber be cut out, and
then reform means something. -Borden
toaOn Register.

Careful search fails to find any bills
aimed at the legal profession among the
reform measures just adopted by the
Legislature. Printers and newspaper pub
fishers have been hit wherever there was
chance, but lawsuits are just as costly
Injuries as ever. There is no reduction
in the appropriation for court expenses,
and under the circumstances this would
seem to be wise II is even question II
| 1t should not have been increased. In its
anxiety to prevent few printers from
getting some return for the immense
amount OF gratnitous work they do for
the benefit of the public, the Legislature
adopts plan which should be labelled
ga scheme to prevent the people from
knowing the law The natural result OF
this will be an increase in litigation,
heavier court expenses and more fees for
lawyers. The lawyers never get left, no
matter who else may be hurt. -Nea0

While many bills passed and now being
considered by the Legislature at its present
session are good ones, there are others
that are vicious in the extreme. Notably
so are the bills calculated TO give the Re-
publican party advantages in New Bruins
wick and Newark. Then, too, the spasm
of reform, which seems to be affecting the
Legislature at present, does not seem 10
be sufficient to induce them to pass bills
restricting the power of the next Governor,
whoever be may be. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the next Governor will be
Republican. II it is wrong for Demo-
cratic Governor TO be endowed with IN
limited powers in certain particulars, IL is
manifcsty as wrong for a Republican
Governor to have the same powers. There
is growing conviction on the part of
many Republicans in the State that the
work OF the Investigating Committee has
been carefully limited to hunting up ma
terial to produce Republican campaign
thunder for the coming Fall. The ex
treme care that has been manifested In
avoiding Investigation into the acts of Re-
publican ofiice-holders seems to indicate
this. We hope this may not be so, but
VIC are bound to confess II looks very much
that way now. We venture the predic-
ton that many of the bills recently passed
will do more in the future POSSIBLY not
the immediate fulure) TO plague the Re.
publican party than they will do good 10

The Evening Journal, the leading Re.

jumping on the printers seem to forget

New York lawyer got $l5, 900 for collect

of the city ordinances that is pronounced
worthless; another was allowed fee 10
the surrogate's court of 800, when his
proper compensation was So; another
