The Legislature.

There were four sessions of both Houses

of the State Commissioner of Roads was

salary at the same figures as before.

reed birds and marsh hens from Septem-
Der to the end of the year; Senate All,

TUESDAY, MARCH %, 1898.

AT THE charter election in Burlington,
last week, there was quite a contest over
the position of Alderman-at-large which
carries with it the presidency of council.
Feeling that the members of that body
should have the privilege of electing their
own presiding officer, bill was prepared
by some Burlington citizens, amending
the law governing the matter so that that
city would be exempt from its provisions.
The bill was passed by both branches of
the Legislature, but did not reach the
Governor until Tuesday, and it is said that
he withholds his signature on the ground
that the provisions of the bill are uncon-
stitutional. AS the new law merely makes
a change in the item of population, the
opinion naturally gains that possibly the
old law is also unconstitutional, and it is
very probable that legal opinions will be
sought on that point.

ONE of the sensations of the Legislature
was given last week when Senator w. M.
Johnson arose to a question of privilege
and called attention to letter written by
Henry |. Budd, State Road Commissioner,
which the Senator claimed reflected upon
him as chairman of the committee on ap-
preparations. The communication was
typewriter and urged the receiver to
write in his ''most effective language" to
Senator Johnson for the purpose of secur-
ing favorable action on the bill increasing
the appropriation for stone roads. The
letter stated that the bill was
being held up" by Senator Johnson.
In very quiet, but forcible manner the
latter gave expression to his views on the
matter and censured Commissioner Budd
for apparently using his official position
to lobby for a BILL A resolution was
adopted directing the Judiciary Commit
tee to investigate the matter. Mr.. Budd
promptly appeared and disclaimed all in
tention of rejecting upon any one. He
frankly admitted that in his zeal he had
not been sufficiently careful in wording
his letter, and in view of his explanation
the committee advised that the affair be
dropped, at the same time giving gener-
al warning to all officials to refrain from
using their positions for the purpose of
lobbying. As matter of fact all persons
who are active in securing the passage of
a measure may be termed lobbyists, yet
they are not to be COMPOUNDED with those
who make business of watching any or
all legislation. Mr.. Budd is very much
interested in road building and he has
been besieged from all quarters to push
the extra appropriation bill In his zeal
to aid those who were pressing him he
overstepped the bounds of discretion. but
his acknowledgment of the error was
prompt and manly. Mr. Budd is not the
only man in official circles who has been
active in favor of legislative matters, but
he made the mistake of putting his ideas
in writing. The committee, in fact the
entire Senate, accepted his explanation in
the same spirit it was offered, and if the
incident serves as a check upon others it
will not have been without benefit.

AT all times eloquent and active in the
advocacy of measures for the benefit
of the state or worthy citizens of New Ter
sey, Senator Stokes, of Cumberland, out
did himself last week while speaking in
favor of the passage of bill providing for
home for New jerseys soldiers and their
wives. To the measure itself there was
no objection, but there were some who
thought it would be better to defer the
matter for awhile rather than draw on the
treasury, at present, for the appropriation
necessary to carry the project to compile
ton. To this objection Senator Stokes
replied. He gave an extended eulogy of
the New Jersey soldier, describing in
graphic language the daring feats accom-
plished by the boys in blue .on the most
famous battlefelds of the civil war. He
reminded the Senate that New Jersey sent
10000 men to the front, 10000 in excess
of ell calls, and larger force than We'll
lington marshaled to victory at Waterloo
After narrating instances of heroism and
great suffering he added that the women
at home suffered too, the news of their
husbands and sons danger wearing fur
rows in their cheeks and bringing age
fast upon them. He said that the least
New Jersey could do for the soldiers and
their wives was to make their declining
days peaceful. In reply to remark that
New Jersey already has a soldiers home
Senator Stokes said he did not consider
that home because soldiers could not
take their wives with them, and he did
not regard any place "home" which
broke that command whom God hath
Joined together let no man put asunder."
''Why, Mr. President" said Senator Stokes,
''the inmates of our poor houses are treat
ed better than that Man and wife are al
lowed to go together to the retreat for
paupers. Our soldiers spent the best part
of their lives in defence of their country,
leaving home and loved ones, giving up
comfortable security for old age. and it is
the duty of this state to provide for those
who returning from the battlefield, found
that younger men had filled their places
and seized the opportunities made posi-
BILE by their absence" Senator Stokes
speech made profound impression and
resulted in his bill being pushed forward
to third reading. The young statesman
was warmly congratulated upon his elo-
quent speech, which proved conclusively
the opinion which has SO long obtained that
he is one of the most influential and val
liable members Of the senate this state has
ever had.

Spring
Dress Fabrics

Sorry, but some of the Paris
stuffs didn't reach US in time for
last weeks exhibit. Still, one could
hardly have compassed greater
textile display. Enough of last
weeks favorites have gone to give
show room to the new, and so the
ever-changing show goes on. No
other store in the wide world shows
such variety of dress fabrics; no
other American retail store gathers
elegance with SO little of waste.
1t isn't strange that on matchable
goods our prices are least. And it
is equally certain that the absolutely
exclusive things are priced in the
same common-sense way-cost of
direct gathering and fair surplus for
the bookkeeping.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The experiment of profit sharing
mill is be practically tried at Eva this
year. AS noted in yesterdays Star
Manager Lowrie has engaged twelve
families from Modesto, Cali, to come
here in October and enter upon sys-
tenn of cooperative planting. Should
this attempt prove successful, it will
revolutionize the sugar system of the
Islands, and put the country upon a
basis such as its advanced thinkers
have earnestly desired for years. If
we can get a class of people who are
hard workers, thrifty and intelligent,
and men who are anxious to earn a
living, with the ultimate hope of own
ing little land, one of the great
problems of the future will be solved
The plantation under the present
contract requires the services of the
cultivator or care taller of the cane
after it is planted. The plantation
undertakes to pillow, furrow for irriga-
tion and plant the section of land
which is handed over to the co-opera-
tive laborer. OF course, in time the
cooperative laborers would be able
TO do this work themselves, and then
their share of the crop would be much
larger. But even with one-siXth of
the crop, as now proposed, at present
prices of sugar, the laborer should re-
ceive something over $7O0 per year
Say it is only 5000, as laborers wages
go, $50 per month is a good return,
and very few average that in Califor-
mia.
The contract further provides for
an unfinished house and not to eX-
coed 5000 square feet of garden
ground, together with free wood and
water. By giving attention to his gar
den plot, the laborer can raise a good
deal which will improve his diet and

save his pocket. There is further
provision that he can draw eighteen
dollars a month in the form of wages
if he so desires it,
The offer is of course no fortune,
but it is the offer of good steady work
and good living, with the opportu-
nifty of sharing in any extra profit that
may be made. The success hinges up
on the ability of the white men to
work in the cane under a tropic sun.
As a fact the effects of the sun are
much more dangerous north of us
than they are here. We have no cases
of people falling down and dying in
the streets on account of the heat of
the sun. In the place where the eX-
pertinent colony is to come from,
Stanislaus county, the men have been
accustomed to work in the wheat fields
at temperature of from IS to 112 de-
grees. If they can stand that they
can stand the more moderate heat
mere. Nllu IHeIe, IOU OILY are thS
days hot, but the nights are sitting.
With us we always have an evening
breeze. and again the trades blow
steadily for weeks at time
The present experiment may prove
failure, but every one with the true
desire for the development of the
country, will hope that it may prove
a success. 1t has been begun on a
comparatively small scale, so that if
failure does come, it will not entail
much distress. In the event of sue
cess, it will be very easy to increase
the numbers, indeed, if these men
who are coming are satisfied, increase
in numbers will not be far to seek.
Everyone must give the Eva plan
tation credit for acting boldly as a
pioneer, laying out a course which
may prove of incalculable benefit to
the future of the country.

the stewardship of that great fortune
and administer it on the same liberal

wife, we all know to be a woman of
great benevolence: she has initiated
and assisted many good and worthy
works, and we again may be sure
that she will assist in carrying out
the wishes of her departed husband
as sacred trust.
Instead of at his death giving
specified sum to each charity, and as
it were closing an account with them,
the late merchant has determined that
his family shall continue to tend the
stream of his open-handedness, deyel-
oping in it's members the same careful
Observation-Disclosures which he always
displayed. Who will say that this is
not better than for the dead hand to

penny poorer than they were during
his lifetime. The man, the living en-
