CLINTON for final adjournment of the
Ieeislature a week from tomorrow, and
tba senate is now holding the resolu-
tion with a hone of passing it also if
the condition Of the public business
nern1its. The state of the calendars at
tbe end of this week will probably de-
terrnine the matter. The present pros
pects are that nothing will intervene
to prevent the adoption of the resolu-
tion and this will be especially the
case if the legislature decides to allow
some of the special commission bills to
go over till next winter These consti-
tlte the most important legislation still
pending. and some of them come in for
criticism as not attaining that degree
of perfection which was expected from
a codifcation and revision of the old
statutes that they were expected to re-
place The act in relation to crimes
and criminal proceedings is one in
which the lawyers are particularly in
terested, and of course these astute
gentlemen are able to pick flaws in the
revised draft. AS Senator William M

Matter of Appropriations.
A sorio,s nrobIem confronts the stats
in the matter of demands made upon il
fo,. i,croased concentrations from va

League of American Wheelmen is sup.
porting this demand.
The state board of agriculture wants
81 600 to carry out the provisions of the
bill against the insect pest.
The naval militia. formerly naval re-
serve. wants about SIS. 900. The an
nouncement that the reserve last year
exceeded its appropriation of $40, 900 was
censured by the committee as highly
improper.
While the appropriations committee
is wrestling with the problem thus pre-
scented there is the prospect of still an
other new state institution coming into
being. This is the proposed home fo1
soldiers and their wives, to be in addi-
ton to the present New Jersey Soldiers
home, which receives only the hus-
bands. Senator Johnson of the appro-
priations committee called the senate's
attention to the state of affairs above
outlined when the new home bill came
up Monday night, and wanted the meas
ure amended so that the commissioners

Rallying For the Old Soldier.
Senator Stokes, who championed the
bill. made a fervid speech, however, in
which he eulogized the New Jersey SOL
dier's deeds of heroism and his many
sufferings and pictured the cruelty of
separating him from his life partner in
their declining days. His speech was
successful in saving the bill. and it was
ordered to third reading. 1t allows
SIC. 900 for the purchase of a home, hui
nobody knows what will be asked for
next winter.
Then there is another new state in
stitution proposed in the bill providing
for a. village of epileptics. which has
heen renorted this week from the SEN
sta COMMITTEES. IT proposes to separate
the epileptics at present in the state
hospitals from the insane. an idea that
is generally Endorsed.
Rnt If ali the good movements pro-
nosed to the state are to be adopted il
is q serious question where the money
will come from few years hence to
foot the bills.
