NEGLECTED LEGISLATION.

[From the New Jersey a Journal
While criticism on legislative methods
is in order, a correspondent of the Journal
suggests that prospective members of
the Legislature would do well to read
through the law reports, and they will
find ample material for new facts. For in
stance, if a gentleman desires to improve
our criminal procedure the suggestion
which the court threw out in Roop VS..
State, IS N. J. l.. 4s7, could be adopted
with profit. Twenty-Five years ago the
Supreme Court confessed Its wants OF
power to correct an informal sentence OF
an inferior criminal court by the modern
and sensible procedure of p~ronounelng
such sentence as ought to be given, upon
the verdict rendered, or remitting TO the
court below for the entry of such a SEN
tence, instead of reversing the judgment
in toto, and multiplying all the proceedings:
Yet nothing came of such exposure OF our
defective procedure, and the present Chlef
Justice, in Roop VS.. State, in $3.50. again,
on behalf of the Supreme Court called at
tention to the subject. The Legislature
has sat twice since then, and still noth-
in has been DONE"

reported to his Bible Glass. The method
of study is quite original but very thor

selves as much pleased and benefited.
The whole educational department has
been revived, and last evening the rooms

Emma calve has attained a success n

Emma Calve has attained a success I'M
preeedented in the annals of lyric art.
To repeat the story of her triumph is
needless. Her superb voice. her fascinat-
ing haIforiental dances, her caressing ges-
lures, her black eyes, irresistible mirth-
these, and the indescrfbable something
more, make up the dazzling ~personation
by which the artist has made her name
famous in every part of the world.
Her marvellous artist temperament has
made her a great actress, but this brings
it's own price, and as great hearts know
great griefs, great temperanents must
know great nervous strain, consequently,
there are periods of nervous prostration
and unfulilled engagements when irnpa-
tent audiences are apt to forget these ex-
%tenuating circumstances.
Calves absolute reliance on Paine's cell
cry compound at all such times of low
nervous energy appears in the following
letter.
Boston, Mass, March, 1891.
I am convinced that Paine's celery COM
pound is the greatest nerve strengthened
that can be obtained. | can vouch for its
wonderful health-giving power.
EMMA CALVE.
Every great change for the worse in
health is in most cases at once betrayed
by a loss of weight and a pinehed thin
ming of the face. On the other hand. a
gain in weight, up to a certain point, goes
hand in hand with an Improvement in all
other essentials of health, and notably an
improvement in the color and amount of
the blood.

+ One of the surest tests of the health
making capabilities of Paine's celery com
pound is the rapid increase in weight and
the increased ruddiness of the blood tina
invariably follows its use. It clears the
skin, makes the excretory, purifying func-
tons, performed by the bowels, kidneys
and the skin, regular and thorough.
The improvement in looks from taking
this great restorative is not a mere mat
ter of idle vanity, but the sign of health
Ter processes all over the body. Many a
parent, wife and husband have watched
with growing surprise and joy some list
less, white-blooded, feeble relative gain
ing, under the help of Paine's celery com
pound, flesh, color and wholesomeness of
mind and body.
Not only is there a decided gain in the
general health from the use of Paine's
celery compound, but such disorders as
sick headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia,
kidney disease and nervous debility in
variably yield to the vigorous building up
of the health that his great remedy never
fails to bring about.
Increased appetite, ready capacity to di-
gest food and the final cure of stomach
disorders, bowel difficulties and nervous
arrangement follow the use of Paine's
celery compound.
AS a prudent man insures his house
against a contingency of fire, however re-
mote, so persons feeling run down. and
tired should take precautions against Sc
rious breaking down in health by build
ing up securely the strength and vigor of
the entire system by means of Paine's

SHANGHAI. Nov. II, 1S97.-When the
landing party from the German cruiser

We're recently murdered.
AS cabled exclusively to the Associated
Press from Berlin on Saturday afternoon
last, it was semi-officially announced that
day that the German squadron in Chinese
waters had been ordered TO the coast of
Shan-Tun. with Instructions to anchor in
recent murder of German missionaries,
for which the German naya commander
was instructed to obtain immediate sat
isfactiOn.
News was received in Berlin the week
before last of an attack upon the Ger
man mission near 4Yen-Chu-Fu, in the
southern part of the Province of Shan
Iun ana the news was subsequently con-
fTmed by the announcement tina the
Rhenish missionaries Mics and Hennle
had been killed, that Seigler was report
ed missing and that Steng had escaped.
In addition. it was announced on Sat
urday, a week ago, that the German
Minister to China and the Captain Of the
German gunboat Cormorant had been
attacked by a mob at Wu-Chang, in the
Province of Hoppe, on the Yang-Tse-
kiang River, and that the rioters had
stoned the German tag ana lnsulted the
Minister.
The German cruiser division, at Kiaoeh-
an Bay, consists of the flagship Kaiser,
with GA men; the second-cfass cruisers
2e5 men, and the third-class cruiser Ar
coma, with 26S men. The division is un-
der the command of Rear Admiral Won

paper, on Monday, said that it was
doubtful that the occupation of kiaochan

The result of the litigation over the
collection of the personal tax levy is just
what was expected. The case never really
had any standing In court. Every ques-
ton that could be raised against the
statutes had been tested in Newark'
where the law has been in force for many
wears. and the city,s right to levy and
collect the taxawas upheld by the courts
in every particular.
The suit brought by Mr.. Mullins in this
city was not really intended to defeat the
city's just claims. AS Mr.. Mullins says,
his check is always ready to meet all
proper demands upon him. He took the
matter into court really in the interest
of the municipality in order that it might
be established once n for all whether
Sinking was legal and proper. The re-
suit is just what Mr.. Mullins-looked for.
The courts give the shirkers no en-
enlargement whatever.
1t is to be hoped that the decision Will
put new zeal and energy into City Col
lector Smith. There is no longer the
faintest excuse for not collecting the per-
senaistaxes. It is .up to him to do it.
We believe Mr.. Smith will not be found
wanting. He will enforce the law, and It's
enforcement. will make a big difference IN
the amount of temporary loan bonds an
nually added to the city's burden.

crIggs and tn. Amendment Vote.


There can be little doubt that Allan L.
McDermott gave the Race Track Amend
mentea Knockout blow yesterday When
he showed that the adoption of a Con-
stitutionaf provision required a majority
of all the votes cast, while the pro-
vision in dispute plainly received less
than such majority by about four hun
dred votes. The answer of Attorney
General Grey was the answer of a man
whe felt there was no answer to be made,
and that he opened his mouth merely
for FORMS sake.
First he said that the Governors proc
lamation settled the matter and the
Cour had no power to go behind it. The
nonsensicality of this was shown by Judge
Dixon's sharp question as to whether the
Court would have jurisdiction If the Gov
ernor's action was in c-ontravention OF
the findings of the State Board of Can
vassers. Then Mr.. Grey came in with
another plea of an equally preposterous
character. He suggested that no individ-
ual had a right to a recount because no
personal rights had been violated. If
anything could be more ~farcical than
this, we would like to know it, No per-
sonal rights, forsooth, are involved in a
constitutional restriction of the powers
of the Legislature and the free action of
every Individual! Well. if personal rights
are net involved, what sort of rights
are. and when are personal rights at
stalker We can only deduce one conclu-
sion from Mr.. Grey's argument. He
plainly knew he had a hopeless case.
But what a pitiful spectacle is present.
ed at this moment by Governor John w.
Griggs; lawyer statesman and specialist
on legislative reformt What are we to
hin of this narrow gauge gentleman,
coolly issuing his proclamation in spite
of the existence of a protest by counsel,
listing provisions of the Constitution
called for, or without comparing the re-
turns of the election with the require
ments of the organic law? Did not Law
yer Griggs know that the Constitution
REQUIRED a. majority vote? Or did not
Bank President Griggs realize that O,443
is less half of 141.672?
Poor Griggs. He is only a common
blunderer after all.
