NOTES AND OPINIONS.

The day for old haphazard methods to
win success at farming has passed 1t is a
business that needs intelligence, education
and enterprise but one for which it would
be pitifully poor preparation which would
come from an attempt to teach agricul-
ture to the already heavily tasked chill
dren in the public schools. -NeYayk

Senator Stokes has admitted that Gov
ernor Griggs has informed him he will
not be appointed Secretary of State. For
this we are sorry. No man in the state is
better qualified for the Office or more rich
ly deserves it, and no man Governor
Griggs can appoint would give more uni
versal satisfaction. However, the Cover
nor may be only enforcing the rule he
laid down at the beginning of his term,
not to appoint to Office any man who is a
member of the Legislature. -EIiza6Sth

THE LEGISLATURE.

The 12lst Legislature of New Jersey
convened on Tuesday. Senator Stokes, of
Cumberland. called the senate to order
and Senator DAILY, of Hudson, was made
temporary president, Harry B. Robinson,
of Union, acting as secretary. The new
Senators were sworn in, and Senator Will
liams, of Passaic, was elected President.
Mr.. Williams made brief address, as
follows:
'Senators-Fully approaching the high
honor which you have conferred upon me.
| thank you most heartily and sincerely.
Coming as we do from different parts of
the State, necessarily with diverse local
interests and some of us differing in politi-
cal views, 1t is, nevertheless, a marked
characteristic of the senate of New JERSEY
that its deliberations have, with few ex.
ceptions, been distinguished by dignity
and courtesy and harmony. Genial &c
cord has prevailed among its members. l
hope that this same spirit will pervade
the session we are now commencing.
There are many important matters to
occupy our attention in addition to the
ordinary routine of legislation. Final
action must be taken upon the constitu-
tional amendments. Reports will be re-
ceiyed from the commissioners appointed
to investigate the subject of taxation, to
codify and simplify the laws relating to
boroughs, and to consider the subject of
the pollution of the Passaic river, and
recommendations therein must be con-
sidered and acted upon. Notwithstanding
this, | see no reason why the session
should be prolonged one, if we avoid
waste of time and pay strict attention to
our legislative duties.
Making use ofthat brevity which hope
will characterize this session, l now de-
clare the senate ready to proceed with
the transaction of its further business"
Prayer was then offered by Rev. Daniel
Magic of Paterson.
The following officers were then placed
in nomination and elected:
Harry B. Robinson, secretary, Union.
Joseph C. Kingdom, assistant secretary,
Burlington.
Walter E. Edge. journal clerk. Atlantic.
Andrew S. Church, assistant journal
clerk, Middlesex.
Samuel t. Atchley, sergeant-at-arms,

Gov. GRIGGs' first annual message,
which was presented to the people of this
State, last Tuesday, puts in clean language
every item in which taxpayers are
interested.
The message is brief, but it contains sug-
gestions touching important matters in
which the people are interested that are
worthy of serious consideration by the
legislative body to which it is addressed.
The figures showing the condition of the
State treasury are gratifying and should
be encouraging to all those persons who
have taken part in the different move
ments that resulted in change of adj
ministration.
There was decrease in receipts from
the preceding year of $37, 3eS.e5. The
decrease in the disbursements was still
greater, amounting to $I96, 3S8.oS. The
balance of the State fund in bank at the
close of the fiscal year, October 3Ist,
1896, was $o5o, 628.o8. At the present
time the balance is $225, SOS. 81, and the
0ONCAuOI lakes tulS ldCl dS reason Tor
making the rational suggestion that it
does not justify any effort to increase APP
preparations or any assumption that the
State has any such amount of money on
hand to be expended except on the or
binary lines of necessity, prudence and
economy.
One of the most important features of
the message is its treatment of the sub
ject of statute laws, which, as they now
stand, are declared to be ''incomprehen-
sible to the layman, and to the LAWYER
and the Judge often of doubtful meaning
and application
1t is suggested that the laws relating to
boroughs call for prompt, thorough and
careful consideration on the part of the
Legislature, with the purpose of simply
flying them and making them more con-
sistent and comprehensive.

Great lots of worthy merchandise
